AUSTRIA hungary AND
ITALY ARE NOW At WAR
AFTER REMAINING NEUTRAL
SINCE BEGINNING OF WAR
ITALY JUMPS IN CONFLICT.
PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATIONS
ltaIys Entry Into the Great European
Conflict VIII Provoke Changes No
Doubt In the Great Struggle
and Battle Lineup.

Italy is at war with Austria,Hun-
gary. With the issuance of the gen.
eral mobilization order the Italian
government issued proclamation de-
claring war.
The Italian ambassador to Austria,
the duke of Avarna, Sunday present
ed to Baron Won Burian, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, the fol-
lowing declaration Of war:
"Vienna-Conformably with the or
der of his majesty, the king, his au-
gust sovereign, the undersigned am
bassadOr to Italy, had the honor to
deliver to his excellency, the foreign
minister of Austro-Hungary, the fol-
lowing communication:
Declaration has been made as
from the 4th of this month to the i'm
perial and royal government Of grave
motives for which Italy, confident OF
her good right, proclaimed, annulled
and henCeforth without effect her
treaty of alliance with Austria-Hun-
gary, which was violated by the i'm
perial and royal government, and re-
sumed her liberty Of action in this re-
spect.
"The government of the king, firm
ly resolved to provide by all means
at its disposal for safeguarding TIA
lian rights and interests, can not fail
in it's duty to take against every ex-
listing and future menace measures
which events impose upon it for the
Culfillment of national aspirations.
His majesty, the king, declares
that he considers himself from now
in state of war with Austria-Hun-
gary.
"The undersigned has the honor to
make known at the same time to his
excenency, the foreign minister, that
passports will be placed this day at
the disposal Of the imperial and royal
ambassador at Rome, and he will be
obliged to his excellency if he will
kindly have his passports handed to
MIN. Avarna."
The Italian senate Friday, by a vote
Of 262 to 2, passed the bill Of Premier
salandra granting plenary powers to
the government In dealing with the
situation that has arisen through
Italys and Austria's being unable to
reach an agreement concerning the
demands Italy has made upon Austria.
Austrian and German forces of
heavy artillery are concentrated on
the frontier at Trent, Bozen and Me-
ran and movements of considerable
bodies of troops are reported from
Munich. Great numbers of Italian
troops are massed along the frontier,
It appears the AustrIans consider
that a state of war already exists.
They have withdrawn their troops and
customs guards from the frontier at
Ponte Caffaro and Lodrone after de-
stroying the bridges, the telegraph
and telephone lines and the electric
light apparatus Other bridges on
the frontier have been mined.

\ WILSON-WILHELN PACT
Australia Hears Of Private Wire From
Washington To Berlin.
Sydney IN. S. W.) correspondent

sydney IN. S. W. correspondent Il
New York Herald.
Australians in the remote districts
have beer thoroughly convinced that
the United States is working ior
in the present Wal and that
President Woodrow Wilson IS IN daily
communication with the KAISER VIA i
private wire from Berlin to the White
House.
This information was received from
Adelaide by an American just return
ed from a business trip TO the states.
He was ~astounded by the attitude
aiken by Australians in Sydney, Mel
bourne and all other large cities with
regard TO America and the european
conflict, and Immediately wrote a iong
circular letter to friends explaining
tho situation in the United States as
he had seer it. He got this response
from Adelaide:
There is an impression aioat IN
| Australia that the United States Of
America are secretely pro-German and
that Woodrow Wilson has a private
| wire on TO the Kaiser. The round
| for justification Of this impression are,
I think, somewhat weak. but II you
| start a crusade you may do more harh2
than good
The chief reason assigned for the
Australian hostility toward Americans
is that America had failed to protect
against the German atrocities IN Bel
| GUM and tina some American concern
had shipped gasoline to Denmark
which was intended for and
had also shipped foodstuffs to Holland
for Germany.
The false impression concerning inc
gasoline shipment was not olspeiieo
until a few days ago, when the Syoney
Herald on November p published an
extra from a Sydney residents letter
from Denmark stating that no motor
ears are running in OF
the failure of the petrol supply. rms
letter must have left Denmark just
about the time the false reports were
being circulated in. America and III
Australia.
One bit of Australian reasoning IS
shown in a letter to the same Amer
can Who heard about the White louise
underground wire to Berlin. IL Is
from a mar in a Northern State and
reads:
america signed The Hague Con-
venten, which Germany violated when
she invaded Belgium. 1t was Amer
cas- duty to protest against
action. She did not and will not. Ergo,
she is a treaty breaker"
