GERMAN SUBMARINE:
 SURPRISE 10 DIVINE s
DEUTSCHLAND TRAVELLED 4.20o MILES ON HER HOMEWARD
 VOYAGE.

London.-Rcports of the return of the German submarine Deutschland from the United States are corrobo- rated in a telegram received at Am sterdam from Bremen, as forwarded by Reuters cores pondent
 According to this information, the Deutschland travelel 4,200 miles on her homeward voyage. At the begin ming the sea was tempesuous, but la- ter it became more calm. The Deutsch- land proved to be able to navigate the stormy seas eXcellently. Her en- zines worked faultlessly No ice bergs were passed Gn the journey.
 The American government, says the dispatch, acted in a correct manner as a neutral, vigorously enforcing re- speet for it's frontier from British and i French warships by the employment of it's own men of war
 After British cruiser entered 1 e77esespGeE5 Day s177 HIg71t TTrFe eTTe.- live measures were taken to en- force neutrality. No less than eight bTltlsh WdrsAIps, 1t is said, were on the alert, surrounded by numerous small American vessels which had been chartered for the purpose of placing nets and obtaining informa- ton as to the movements of the Deutschland. Nevertheless the sup marine succeeded in leaving undeteet- ed. A distance of 100 miles was tra- Eersed under water without difficulty
 The Deutschland returned home slightly damaged, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from The Hauge, which says this fnforma- tion is contained in telegram from Bremen. The members of the crew were unwilling, it adds, to give de- tails of the return voyage.
 The arrival of the submarine sur prised her owners, as she was not ex- pected to dock within week.

CROWDS PARADING SHEETS
ltalys Position Has Been Anomalous Since She Withdrew From the Alliance and Declared War
 on Austria

Rome.-Baron Sonnino minister ot
 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

 ltaly's formal declaration amounts 10 | little more than official recognition of state of affairs which already ex- lsted. The declaration became inevi- table When Italy recently sent troops to Salonikf to cooperate in the cam palgn on the Macedonian front. as Germany is directing the forces and has troops on the battle line.
 ltaly'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- mained 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 rupture was inevi- table he negotiated 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- spective subjects in each others do- mains. This meant for Germany a guarantee of many millions of dollars i worth of properties iii Italy and for Italy the safety of 300O0 Italian sub jects in Germany
 According t. unofficial reports. | ltaly's allies were dissatisfied and asked the Italian representatives at the Paris entente conference why their nation was not at war with Ger many Italy already had agreed not to conclude separate peace and at ths Paris conference sanctioned the plan for permanent high council of the entente powers for future conduct of the war. The increasing co-opera- ion among the entente allies and the necessity for bringing into service Italy's surplus of troops, which could lot be employed on the other fronts without bringing on war with Germany. gradually brought Italy into such a position that it became evident l declaration of hostilities against Germany was only matter of time
