bound to fight for each other in case
of foreign aggression. The report
reached here today from Berlin.
Austrian Ambassador Gets Passports.
ROME, May 24.—Count Maccho,
Austrian ambassador to Italy, was
given his passports yesterday and he
was escorted to the border of Switzer
land. Several members of the Aus
trian and German ambassadors staff
left here two days ago with many
cases of papers which it was evident
ly intended should not be captured by
the Italian authorities.
Italian Ambassador To Vienna Re
called.
Coincident with the handing of the
Austrian ambassador here his pass
ports the Italian ambassador at Vien
na was ordered to request liis pass
ports and safe conduct to the border.
Ambassador To Turkey Recalled.
The Italian ambassador to Turkey
was also recalled at the same time
but so far the government has not
taken any action against Germany
and the Italian ambassador.
Italians Have Difficulty Leaving Aus
tria.
Reports reaching here from Aus
trian provinces on the Adriatic and
in the Alps indicate that Italian citi
zens in Austria are having great dif
ficulty in leaving Austria and that
many have been arrested.
_ I
Italian Army and Navy Ready.
ROME, May 24.—For the past ten
months the government has been
straining every effort to bring the
army and navy into first-class con
dition. Millions of dollars have been
spent in buying new equipment. The
artillery department has furnished the
army with the latest guns and the
Italian field piece, patented after the
famous French field gun, is said to
be the finest in Europe. Stores of
ammunition have been concentrated
and factories have been working day
and night to increase the output.
•One hundred thousand horses have
been purchased in America and twice
as many have been brought from Af
rica. The navy has been drilling con
stantly and is in first-class condi
tion and expects soon to engage the
Austrian fleet or bombard the forts.
Germans Resent Austrian Obstinacy
COPENHAGEN, May 24.—Reports
reaching here from Berlin indicate
that the Germans resent the posi
tion taken by the Austrian govern
ment and the refusal of Emperor Jos
eph to recede the territory desired
to Italy and avoid the break which
has brought two million more train
ed troops against the Fatherland and
may result in bringing in 1,000,000
Rumanians and as many Greeks in
to the fight against Germany, Aus
tria and Turkey.
German General Staff To Conduct
Italian Campaign.
■BERLIN, May 24.—The German
general staff will take command of
the invasion of Italy. The war will
he carried immediately into Italy and
if possible held in the enemy’s coun
try. The Austrian frontier is strong
ly fortified and little fear is shown
here of the outcome. Military experts
predict that Italy will be unable to
invade any of the Austrian provinces
because of the strong field forts and
trenches which have been built.
Austrian Fleet At Pola.
The Austrian fleet is at Fola and
is expected to remain in port unless
a favorable opportunity should come
■for an attack on Italian coast cities or
to engage the Italian fleet on equal
terms. The submarines are depend
ed upon to strike at tbe Italian pa
trol ships and to send transports to
the bottom should an attempt be
made to reinforce the Montenegrins.
Germans Stand By Austria.
BERLIN, May 24.—The foreign of
fice today announced that Prince von
Buelow, the German ambassador to
Italy, has been recalled and that Ger
many was now in a state of war
with Italy. The kaiser’s government
will stand with its ally, Austria-Hun
gary, in the present conflict with It
aly and the full power of the nations
will be exerted to punish the gov
ernment and people of Italy for de
serting her former allies and joining
the enemies of the Triple Alliance.
Austrian Aeroplanes Attack Venice.
ROME, May 24.—Austrian aero
planes dropped a number of bombs
upon the Italian ' army barracks at
Venice and set the buildings on fire.
The hostile airmen were driven away
and the Are extinguished. The loss
of life was small.
