London, April g, 6 D. m.-The gov ernment committee on the treatment In Germany of British prisoners of war, of which the Honorable MT. Jus tice Younger is chairman, has issued report on the conditions prevailing in the Wittenberg camp during the typhus epidemic of last year.

 The records of the epidemic kept by the British officers were taken from them before their, departure from Ger many, but the report gives in detail the condition of the camp and the treatment of prisoners and patients, which the American ambassador, James W. Gerard, in his report last November, said was 'even more un- favorable than T had been led to ex- pect"
 According to the released officers there are 15,000 and sometimes more prisoners in the camp, which the com mittee says "is an enormous popula- ton for so restricted an area as ten and a half acres" There were no proper heating arrangements and the men were insufhciently clothed. Many had neither boots nor socks. There was an insufficient supply of water and soap and Major Priest1ey says he hn of V gray pallor and mervionous

ITALY ANNOUNCES
WAR ON GERMANY
BARON -SoNNlNo, MINISTER OF
FOREIGN AFFAIRS GIVES OUT
LIST OF REASONS.

Rome-Italy is at war with Ger
many. The declaration of hostilities
was made by Italy.
Following information that 1t had
reached the imperial German govern
ment through Switzerland, announce
ment of the governments action was
made here late Sunday.
The intolerable situation created by
the fact that Italy was at war with
Germanys ally and the fact that Ger
many loaned all possible support to
that ally - Australia ngary-against
Italians and their interests, led the
government to it's decision. That de-
cision was made public in the follow
ing announcement:
1.-The Italian government declares in
the name of the king that Italy con
siders herself TO be in state OF war
with Germany as from August 20, and
begs the Swiss government to convey
this information to the imperial Ger
man government"
Complete cessation OF all communi
cation between Italy and Germany
brought about by the Australtaliar
war, made it necessary for Italy t.
convey through Switzerland her dec
laration of war to Germany.
Following a meeting Of the cabine
the official announcement of state o
war between Italy and Germany wa
made. A statement. giving the rea
sons for the action OF the Italian gov
eminent, also was given out by Baroi
Sonnino, minister of foreign affairs.
1t is in the form OF a communicated
to Switzerland, a neutral, and wa
