GERMANY NOW AT WAR
WITH ITALY. COURT HOLDS

AMSTERDAM. June s.-The impe-
rial appeal court at Leipzig has rem
dered a verdict in which it is stated
that Germany is actually. though not
formally. at war with Italy.
The case in which the verdict was
rendered arose over a dispute about a
war clause in a contract for a supply
of italian produce. The court decided
that formally condition of war does
not exist between Germany and Italy,
but nevertheless. in view of the Aus
tro-German alliance, 1t must be con-
sidered that Germany shares in the
Austro-Italian war because she is
bound to send troops to replace on
other sectors the Austrian troops sent
against Italy.
