BRAZIL DECLARES
WAR ON GERMANY
WITH ONLY ONE OPPOSING VOICE
CHAMBER or DEPUTIES VOTES
TO FIGHT TEUToNs.
WILL SEIZE GERMAN SHIPS
President 5raz Issued Proclamation
and German lnterned Vessels Are
selzed-To BE Used as Trans
ports BY Allies.

Rio Janeiro.-The chamber of depu.
ties, By an almost unanimous vote, de-
clared that state of war existed be-
tween Germany and Brazil. The vote
was 149 to /.
The tribunes Of the chamber were
filled to capacity. After debate on
the opportuneness of proclaiming mar
tial law, the president of the diplo-
matte commission spoke in favor of a
law worded as follows:
"A state of war between Brazil and
Germany is hereby acknowledged and
proclaimed. The president of the re-
public Is authorized to adopt the meas
ures enunciated in his message of the
25th of October and to take all steps
tending to insure national defense and
public security"
The virtually unanimous vote Of the
deputies was received with general ac-
clamation-
President Braz has officially sane
toned the proclamation of a state of
war with Germany.
The senate unanimously approved
the proclamation of the state Of war
with Germany.
The first step OF war was the seiz-
ure of all German ships interned in
Brazilian ports and their employment
as carriers of food and supplies for the
allies. Actual military cooperation
with America and the allies by Brazil's
we'll prepared land and sea forces is
expected to follow shortly.
BraEiIs course throughout has been
analogous with that of the United
States. Public and official indigna-
ton and the resolve 10 declare war
came to a head as a result OF the tor
pedoing of the Brazilian steamship
Macau in the Bag of Biscay, the fourth
Brazilian ship to be sent to the bottom
by the Teuton submarines, with the
aggravating circumstance of the ar
rest of the Macau's captain.
Brazil was the first of the larger
South American republics to follow
the lead Of the United States. The
Rio de Janeiro government broke re-
lations with Berlin on April 10.
Not only the presidents message,
but every address in the course of the
debate preceding the war declaration
was marked by emphasis on the point
that the war has been deliberately and
obstinately thrust upon this republic
and that Brazil's attitude is a defens-
i've one, it being incompatible with the
country's honor to remain passive.

Rome.-The government was de-

when a vote of confidence failed by
S14 to 96.
The Italian parliament reOpened its
sessions two weeks ago. A dispatch
from Turin, Oct II, said that the po-
sition of the government was endan-
gered because Of the serious riots in
Turin and because of the general
food crisis throughout Italy. Tie
food controller, Giuseppe Canepa, re.
signed owing to the food situation.
The dispatch said that the government
would be called upon by parliament
to justify its action.
The correspondent Of the Petit

istry.

Washington.-The total amount sub

eral days probably will elapse before
the full extent OF the nations subscrip-
tions is ascertained.
The department is without figures
showing any change in the estimated
totals, other than in the New York
district New Yorks maximum of ST.
100000 reported to have been ex-
ceeded, might be increased by late
returns to as much as s1,75O, ,000, GOO.
Previous estimates had placed the to-
tai at approximately $1.650, 100000.
Returns received at the treasury
give little indication as to the final
result" the department announces.
con the face Of returns it cannot be
said whether the sale exceeded $5,OOO,-

that it probably approximated the
maximum total. Banks, of course
have made no effort to tabulate al!
their returns and may not do so till
the, final day for reporting. Obvious
Iy, great changes may be made in the
total between now and Thursday
