DECLARATION OF HOSTllITlES
MADE THROUGH GOVERNMENT
OF SWITZERLAND - Kali
SER's EFFORTS FAIL.
LATlNS READY TO THROW
ARMIES AGAINST GERMANS
Final Step Becomes Inevitable When
King Victor Sends Troops to Sal
oniki TO Cooperate in Campaign
of Allies as Germany is Direct
ing Opposing Forces.

Rome, Aug. 29.-Italy has declared
wal on Germany.
Announcement of the formal decla-
ration of war was made Simultaneous
ly in Rome and Berlin.
The declaration was promulgated
through the government of Switzer-
land which was requested by Italy to
notify the imperial government of Ger
many.
The Swiss government notified Ger
many that Italy considers itself at
war with Germany from and after Au-
gust %. War on Germany will for
maliy begin today.
Ready to Strike Blow.
Through this step, Italy has aligned
itself fully with the Allies. At the
commencement of the war Italy was
an ally of Germany as a member Of
the Triple Alliance. Germany has
striven vainly to prevent the Italian
government from taking this final step,
as 1t will place the Italian government
in position to throw it's great surplus
of troops into the campaign against
Germany.
Until the Macedonian campaign,
Italy's military operations were o N
fined strictly to the Austrian front,
but the limited area of this front pre-
vented the government from bringing
into action more than so per cent of
it's mobile armies.
Berlin Announces Declaration.
Berlin formally announced the dec
laration of war by Italy with the fol-
lowing statement:
THE Italian government has de-
clared through the Swiss government
that it considers itself from August
2S at war with Germany"
Italy and Germany have been drift
Ing steadily toward war. In fact,
Italy's formal declaration amounts to
little more than official recognition of
a state of affairs which already ex-
listed. The declaration became newt
able when Italy recently sent troops
to Saloniki to cooperate In the cam
paign of the Allies, as Germany is
directing the opposing forces and has
troops on this battle line.

The Gansley Case.

Equally divided, the supreme court
affirmed the conviction Of Jacob Cans
ley of Lansing, who was found guilty
of violating the corrupt practices act
by contributing $500 for the Lansing
Brewing company during the local OPP
ton campaign in 1914. Justice Stone
wrote the opinion affirming Gansley's
conviction and it was signed by JUS
tees Steere, Moore and Person. The
dissenting opinion was penned by JUS
tice Brooke and was concurred in by
Justices Kuhn Ostrander and Bird.
The corrupt pr, = ises act of which
Gansley has been found guilty of vio-
lating was passed at the 1913 legis-
lature and was designed to purify
Michigan elections. There is a provi-
sion to the effect that no officer, direc-
tor, stakeholder, attorney or agent or
any other person acting for any cor
poration or joint stock company, ex-
cept corporations framed for political
purposes. shall pay any money Of the
corporation to any candidate or poll
tical committee for the payment Of
election expenses.
Some time before Gansley violated
the law the attorney general had de-
cided that a local option committee
was a political committee. Gansley's
contribution went to the Ingham
County Personal Liberty League.
81 have read the title and the entire
act under consideration with great
care and l am convinced that it was
not the legislative intent to include
local option elections within its provi-
sions", says Justice Brooke in the
| dissenting opinion. eff this is the i'm
preston created in my mind by a
perusal of the title and the act, It
seems entirely reasonable to believe
that Gansley may have honestly acted
under a similar impression.
"No citizen should be subjected to
| fine and Imprisonment for the viola
ton of a statute, the construction of
which is open to so serious doubt as
to its application as the one under
consideration"
In the prevailing opinion Justice
Stone says there is no reversible error
and that the law is a valid exercise OF
the police power of the state. 1t is
within the province of the circuit court
