after repeated demands at home
and urgent requests from Russia.
announced today 1t was declaring
war upon Finland. Hungary aud
Rumania for fighting beside Ger
many against Russia.
A brief foreign office announce
ment was issued Just after the zero
hour of midnight when the three
countries failed TO make "satlsfac-
tory replies" to the British demand
that they withdraw from the Rus
sian war.
The foreign office said commun-
ications ARE being sent to these
three governments which will re-
suit in existence OF q state of war. "
There was no indication when
the state OF war actually would
begin but one source said II could
be assumed II will follow quite
shortly after the arrival OF the
notes."
These were sent through United
States diplomatic channels. In dis
closing that the British demand had
been served upon the three ma
tons. the British earlier said that
the United States diplomatic serv-
ice had been used and the United
States had been kept informed OF
the Developments.
Diplomatic relationH between
Britain and the three nations we're
broken off long ago and It was con-
ceded here that the actual declara-
ton OF war would not materially
change the situation.
1t was explained, however, that
"the primary difference will come
at the peace conference. when these
countries will be sitting on the
other side OF the table"
