CROSSES FRONTIER AND
OCCUPIES STRETCH OF AUSTRIAN TERRITORY
Borne, May 23.—Italy, is at war
With Austria-Hungary- With the is-
suance of the general mobilization
1 a -•
order, the Italian Government issued
a proclamation declaring war on
Austria, which officially will begin
tomorrow. . . •
Prior to this and after a lengthy
consultation; the Ministers .of War
and Marine proclaimed all the pro
vtnees bordering on Austria and the
islands and coast towns of the Adri-
atic. In a' state of war, whioh was
equivalent to the establishment of
martial law, the step usually preced-
ing ‘the formal declaration.
Although drastic action has been
looked for momentarily, Italians of
ail classes have been electrified by
' the swiftly moving events. Early this
J zooming great^ crowds gathered
around the Quirinal to await the Min-
isters who called on the King for the
purpose of discussing the situation
and signing decrees.
When Premier Saland ra and Signor
Sonnlno, the Foreign Minister, left
the palace, the people cheered them
enthusiastically. General Zueppeli,
Minister of War, and Vice Admiral
Vlale, Minister of Marine,; remained
with the King tor a considerable time
after the others left, and later they
had a conference with Lieutenant
i General Cadorna, chief of staff, and
Vice Admiral Phaon Di Revel, chief
of the naval staff.
When the first blow will be struck
can not be foretold, *but after many
months of preparation the army,
which has been greatly strengthened,
and the navy, are ready. Exceeding
If strong forces are in position all
along the Austro-ltalian frontier, on
the Austrian side of which feverish
preparations have been going on tho
last few days to make the fortifica-
tions as strong as possible and to
clear the way lor effective "artillery
action. '
The German Ambassador, Prince
Von Bulow, and the Austrian Ambas-
sador, Baron Von Macchlo, who was
given his passport at 3 :30 o’clock this
afternoon, are still in Rome, so far
as is known. They have waited to
the last, doubtless in the hope that
some way might be found to prevent
a clash of arms. They will be given
safe conduct when they leave, and so
far as Germans and Austrians resi-
dents in Italy are concerned, every
effort has been made to ‘see them
safely out of the country.
'On the .other hand, most alarming
reports have been received from ’ the
Italian border towns that Italian resi-
dents in the Austrian Tyrol are ex-
periencing great difficulty in return-
ing to Italy and in many cases have
been Isolated under arrest.
From Germany edme reports that
considerable resentment is felt in of-
ficial quarters there against what is
alleged to be the obstinacy of the
Austrian diplomacy responsible for
the failure of the negotiations with
Italy initiated by Prince Von Bulow,
the German Ambassador. The sug-
gestion had been made that Austria
should be left alone to fight Italy,
but pledges taken by the German gen-
eral staff and by the German Emperor
personally with Tmperor Francis
Joseph, resulted In the triumph of
those advocating Austro-German soli
darlty even in a new war against
Italy.

WrjAT GERMANY HAS TO SAY.
Italy’s Declaration of War op Austria
Called “Inexcusable Attack
Against Dual Monarch”
London, May 24.—A Berlin official-
dispatch received by Reutqr’s Tele-
gram Company by way of Amsterdam
and dated May 23, ways:
“The Italian Government today
caused to be declared through the
Ambassador to the Austro-Hungarian
Government, the Duke of Avarna, that
Italy considers herself in a state of
war with Austria-Hungary.
“The Italian Government by this in-
excusable-attack on the dual mon-
archy has also broken, without right;
or without ground, her allir.nce with
Germany. '
“The loyal relationhsip existing
conformably with the treaty between
Austria-Hungary and the German
Empire and still more firmly welded
by the comradeship of arms has re-
mained unimpaired by the defection
of the third ally and his desertion to
the enemies’ camp. The German'Am-
bassador therefore has received in-
struction to leave Rome conjointly
with the Austro-Hungarian Ambassa-
dor.”
DECLARATION OF WAR IS HUE BY
I ITALY A6AINST AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
London* May 25—Austria has struck
first with her navy and aircraft along
Italy’s east coast; Italy promptly
countered by throwing a considerable
body of troops across the northeastern
frontier and occupying a stretch of
Austrian territory along the River
Isonzo. Thus although Field Marshal
Von Hindenburgt who has a repute
tion for forcing matters, is reported
to be in command of the German
troops along the new front, Italy in a
sense has forestalled him.
Rome officially announces that the
Italians have occupied a number of
comparatively important towns and
have compelled the Austrians to re-
treat. This, in brief, summarizes the
first thirty-six hours of the newest
phase of the ever-widening European
conflict.
\ The rapid stroke of the Italian Army
would seem to bespeak a long prepa-
ration, bearing out what the press of
the allied countries contended months
ago, that Italy would throw in her
lot with the entente was only
waiting for an opportune time.
Going North and East.
Rome's first bulletin dealing with
the movements of the army indicates
that two movements are under way,
one to the northward toward the
Carnic Alps, the other eastward
through the region of Friuli, ostensi-
bly aimed at Trieste and the Istrlan
Peninsula. Cervignano, one of the
Austrian towns occupied by the Itali-
ans, is only about ten miles inland
from the Gulf of Trieste. Both thrusts
should develop severe fighting. /
Just as Italy lightly characterized
Monday’s Austrian raids along her
coast, so Austria characterizes the
military operations to date as border
skirmishes. While today’s Rome of-
ficial communication laid, stress on the
Italian rush across the~border, the of-
iettUa i&nafOS
the Austrian
sweep on the Italian coast> enumerat-
ing the damage and emphasizing the
slight Italian resistance.
The German claims for the day em-
brace both east and west, notably
around; Ypres and north of PrzemysL
In the latter region it is announced
that General Mackensen is again surg-
ing forward and taking a clossal num-
ber of prisoners.
The British War Office admits that
the British have been unable entire-
ly to reforfn their line dented by the
Germans east of Vpres, and this
dovetails with the German claims of
advances in the region of Flanders.
All May Use Gas.
The most interesting statement in
the British announcement is that
“with due preparations gas attacks
can be met and defeated.” This1 is
•
particularly pertinent in that gas
bids fair to be used more and more,
possibly by all the contenders.
Attesting to the extremeiy sanguin-
ary character of the recent land fight-
ing at the Dardanelles, where the
British and French are seeking to
dislodge the strongly intrenched
Turks, there came tonight a list of
919 casualties among , the Austrians
engaged in this enterprise. The Tur-
kish losses apparently have be^u
greater, as it was necessary on. Sun-
day last for them to secure an armis-
tic to bury their dead, 3,000 of whom
lay piled before the British trenches.
A radical shake-up in the British
Cabinet was announced tonight. The
most interesting change is the trans-
fer of . Winston Spqncer Churchill,
First Lord of the Admiralty, to .the
Chancellorship; of t]R0 Puc&y of
caster, Arthur J. Balfour, titjjjk
leader of the opposition, taking
Admiralty portfolio. David
George, Chancellor of the
who vacates that office tpsu
appointed Minister of Munitions.
