Germany A,Dare of
Ult;matun Which Set
An Europe Aflame

Washington, Aug. S-Germany had
possession Of Austria's 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
Germanys 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
Serbia's 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 If she
felt 1t essential. Her inaction, how
ever, Is felt to have proved her an ac-
complice 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 retchstag and
since adopted by the allied govern
ments that German and Austrian
leaders held q war council at Potsdam
on July 5. in which it was practically
decided to plunge Europe into conflict.
The Interpretation placed on this coun-
ell has been that Germany had full
knowledge Of all OF Austria's plans and
stood unreservedly behind her. Ger
many, however, has repeatedly denied
the holding Of such q conference.

ITALY INcENsED AT U. 8.
Failure to Win Supplies and Money
Brings Clash With Allies.

Brings Clash With Allies.
Washington. Aug, 3.--Italy is dis
pleased with her failure to get from
her ailies-particularly America-sup-
plies she says are needed and which
she claims could swerve the war bal
ance.
This displeasure apparently has
caused delicate situation. on which
allied diplomats here are now laboring.
For several days the English, French
and Russian ambassadors have con-
suited at length with the italian envoy,
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 Lid
coal, munitions and money for an Aus
trian offensive.
Allied and American military men
say, however that Italy's situation is
Impossible" from the military stand
point and aid now would be only a
drain on Americas resources.
The ambassadors evidently are try
ing to dissuade Italy fror, standing pat
on her insistence that the United
States declare war on Austria, while
at the same time they are working out
solution Of the supply question.
