ing point in the worlds history as
well as of the history of the United
States. Those in Germany who made
up their minds that nothing was to be
feared from American intervention are
likely to be rudely deceived in short
time"

evidently in an effort to assuage his
feelings. %
The Italian viewpoint of recent days
is known to be one bordering on re-
sentiment over the fact that her pleas
for materials and money have gone
virtually unheeded.
Meantime italian propaganda Is try
ing to force the United States to war
on Austria and has spread the word
that Italy could win the war If she Lad

TRAN offensive.
Allied and American military men
say, however, that Italy's situation is
impossible" from the military stand

drain on Americas resources.
The ambassadors evidently are try
ing to dissuade Italyfrorl standing pat

States declare waK on Austria, while
at the same time they are working out
a solution of the supply question.

Germany A,Oare of
Ultimatun, Which Set
All Europe Aflare

Washington, Aug. 5-Germany had
possession Of Austrias ultimatum to
Serbia fourteen hours before 1t was
delivered to Belgrade, according to in
formation which has reached here and
made public today for the first time.
1t was stated that former Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman admitted this
himself when pressed very closely as to
Germany's foreknowledge Of the action
Of her ally which precipitated the
European war.
Germany has maintained that she
was not consulted by Austria as to the
ultimatum which practically denied
Serbias independence and that she
even did not have knowledge OF the
step.
Former Secretary Zimmermann's ad-
mission is taken to show that Germany
had time to stop action on 1t II she
felt 1t essential. Her inaction, how
ever, is felt to have proved her an &C
complete of Austria, whom she had al
ready told she would support In any
decision she might make,
This feet fits In very closely with
the recent statements first advanced
by Deputy Cohn In the reichstag ana
since adopted by the allied govern
ments that German and Austrian
leaders held war council at Potsdam
on July 5. in which 1t was practically
decided to plunge Europe into conflict
The Interpretation placed on this coun !.
ell has been that Germany had fuil
knowledge of all Of Austria's plans ana
stood unreservedly behind her. Ger
many, however, has repeatedly denied
the holding Of such conference.
