Gibraltar has been the scene of L
sieges and many battles. Its rocky
slopes have run red with blood Early
armies rained their arrows against it

this is one of natures strongholds, this
western gate of the Mediterranean.
This cliff of solid limestone was one
of the Pillars of Hercules. beyond
which it was though anciently no man

Rome.-Baron Sonnino minister of
foreign affairs, announces that Italy
considers herself in a state Of war
with Germany.
The official announcement of a
state of war between Italy and Ger
many has aroused great enthusiasm
here. Cheering crowds are parading
the streets. applauding the govern
ment's decision
Diplomatic circles here expect in
teryention in the war by Roumania
against the central empires tomor-
row.
Italy and Germany have been drift
ing steadily toward war In fact.
1taly's formal declaration amounts 10
little more than official recognition of
state of affairs which already ex-
listed. The declaration became inevi-
table when Italy recently sent troops
TO Saloniki to cooperate in the cam
paign on the Macedonian front as
Germany is directing the forces and
has troops on the battle line.
Italy's position has been anomal-
Gus since she withdrew from the tri-
pie alliance and declared war on
Austria. Although by this act she ar
rayed herself against her former al
lies, Germany and Austria, she re-
manned officially at peace with Ger
many until recently. Germany exert
ed every effort to induce her to re-
main neutral. sending to Rome as am
bassador Prince von Buelow. one OF
the ablest statesmen OF Germany.
The prince for some time averted
the war between Austria and Italy.
and When he saw a rupture was inevi-
table he negotiated a special agree
ment under which in case Of war be
tween Austria and Italy, Germany and
Italy pledged themselves TO respect
the properties and lives of their re-
sDectiye subjects in each others do
mains This meant for Germany
guarantee of many millions of dollars
worth of properties in Italy and for
Italy the safety OF 10000 Italian sub
jects in Germany
According to unofficial reports.
Italy's allies were dissatisfied and
asked the Italian representative at
the Paris entente conference why
their nation was not at war with Ger
many Italy already had agreed not
to conclude a separate peace and at
the Paris conference sanctioned the
plan for a permanent high council of
the entente powers for future conduct
Of the war. The increasing co-opera-
ton among the entente allies and the
necessity for bringing into service
Italy's surplus of troops, which could
not be employed on the other fronts
without bringing on war with
Germany. gradually brought Italy into
such a position that it became evident
a declaration of hostilities against
Germany was only matter of time.
