COnditions--Note viii be Answered
in Detail.

WASHINGTON. May 2O.-Germany
unofflcially has accepted the general
principle that American citizens shall
be protected and safeguarded by the
United States under all conditions
Asserting that It is contrary to all rul-
ing Of International law, she will re-
ject the suggestion that the United
States can demand a complete aban'
donment Of the German submarine
warfare Germany holds Americas
legal righ. to extend only TO the pro-
lection Of vessels OF American register
and the safety OF Americans aboard
belligerent merchantmen This is un-
derstood to be the German position
outlined to Ambassador Gerard dur
Ing a series OF unofficial conferences
with the Berlin foreign office. Ger
ard stated Germany's answer will be
most specific in character.
The German reply will take up the
American note paragraph by para
graph from Germanys understanding
of international law. Submarine war
fare will be warmly defended as a re.
prisal against the enemy which court
ed such reprlsals by arming merchant
men and offering rewards for ram.
ming submarines. Resolutions adop-
ted by the British board OF trade and
shippers approving the destroying OF
submarines by merchant ships, will be
quoted.
In effect, It is understood the Ger
mans have>told Gerard they have been
fighting fire with fire, and the de-
mand Of the United States that the
imperial navy completely cease sub.
marine attacks, is improper in the
light OF international law.

MATTER OF HOURS

Will Then be Made.
ARTILLERY ON THE FRONTIER
Only Official Signal Now lacking to

tion-Pope Is With the Govern
ment-Thousands of Troops Are
Hurried 20 Strategic Positions.

ROME. May 20.-1taly's decision
for peace or War rests with Premier
Salandra, the cabinet and the gem
eral staff. Parliament by vote OF
365 to 81 gave the government full
authority to act against Austria by
passing a bill conferring plenary
powers upon the cabinet. The an
nouncement Of this action taken by
the chamber OF deputies is believed to
mean that when the general staff is
ready an ultimatum will be delivered
70 Austria. This may be within "a
hours.
AS the news was flashed to the
crowds outside Of the parliament
building. It was received with a
mighty cheer which spread through
out the city over the military tel
egraph lines. word was flashed to
the frontier. Everywhere it was
greeted with the greatest enthusiasm
as a certain forerunner of war.
Italy charges Austria with respon-
sibility for the world war in explain
ing it was necessary for her to break
off negotiotions as to concessions
with Vienna, and rendering her en-
trance into the conflict on the side of
the allies an imminent probability.
The explanation Of the foreign office
made public in the Green Book,
charges that Austria broke faith with
Italy when she delivered her ultima
tum to Servia last July. This, it was
declared, disturbed the entire Bal
kan states to the detriment of Italy.

ROME, May 20.-Cheering crowds
surrounded the parliamentary build
ing today when the chamber of dep
uties met in what the patriotic
throngs termed the war session" In
this session Premier Salandra will
make the announcement of the gov
ernments policy. Before midnight
parliament is expected to pass a bill
giving the cabinet plenary powers. A
declaration of war is then believed to
be only a matter of hours. Italy Is
ready to strike. For "a hours, trains
have been hurrying troops to the
Austrian frontier.
Artillery has been placed in posi-
tion at strategic points and only an
official signal from Rome is awaited
to put the Italian war machine in
motion. Within IL hours Pope Bene-
dict has thrown his influence to the
side of Italy. His holiness approved
the text of prayer to be recited by the
Italian soldiers on the battlefield and
expressed the hope that victory will
rest with Italian arms.
The foreign office made public to
day the Green Book" which sum-
marizes the negotiations carried on
with Austria This will serve as a.
basis for Premier Salandra's state
ment to the chamber of deputies. The
book confirms the previous reports
that the Italian cabinet denounced
the triple alliance May 4.
