THE FIRST BLOW WILL BE STRUCK CANNOT BE FORETOLD.Rome, via Paris, May 23\u2014I1:55 m.\u2014Italy is at war with Austriafiungary.With the issuance of the general mobilization order, the Ita!- ian 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 proclamation all the provinces bordering on Austria, and the islands and coast towns of the Adriatic in a state of war, which was equivalent to the establishment vi martial law, the step uiualiy preceding the formal declaration.Ahhough drastic act\u2019on has been looked for momentarily, Ltalians of all classes have been electrified by the swiftly moving events.Eirly this morning great crowds gathered around the Quirinal to await the Ministers, who called on the King for the purpose of discussing the situation and signing decrees.Cheer Army and Navy.When Premier Salandra and Signor Sonnino, the Fore\u2018gn Minister, leit the Palace the peuple cheered them enthusiastically.The troops changing guards at the Royal Palace were the object of a stir-ing manifestation amid \u201cvivas\u201d for the army and for war.General Zuppeli, Minister of War, and Vice-Aduniral Viale, Minister of Marine, remained with the King for a considerable time after ths others left, and later they had a conference with Lieut.-General Cadorna, chief of staff.and Vice-Admiral Phaon Di Revel, chief of the naval staff.The First Blow?When the tirst blow will be struck cannot be foretold, but after many months of preparation, the army, which has been greatly strengthened, and the navy, are ready for whatever task may be-set them.Exceedingly strong forces are in position all along the Austro-Îtalian frontier, on the Austrian side of which feverish preparations have been going on the last few days to make the fortifications as impregnable as possible and to clear the way for cffective artillery action.The German Ambassador, Prince Von Buelow, and the Austrian Ambassador, Baron Von Macchio, ars still in Rome s0 far as is known.They have waited to the lact, doubtless in the hope that some way might he found to prevent a c'ash at arms.They will be given safe conduct when they do leave, and, so far as Germans aid Austrians residents in Italy are concerned.every cflort 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 residents in the Austrian Tyrol are experiencing great difficulty in returning to Ttaly and, in many cases have been placed under arrest.Vatican Clear.According to the Giornale D'ltalia, the problem concerning the diplomats accredited to the Vatican has been solved satisfactorily.The Austrian Greece, whose anxiety over READY AND imminent.attacks on the Dardanelles.~ drove her third and Carpathia 041320 10¥ 108 0 07 00301050 X0F C1206 XIHA 10 KING OF GREECE NEAR DEATH, Athens, Greece, May 23, via London\u2014King Constantine, of Greece, who is ill with pleurisy, became more feverish after undergoing an operation yesterday, his temperature increas ing to 101.8 and later to 108.2.a don AO COS OOU CON GOO and German diplomate, ignpringthe situation in ltaly, Will depart, as though they were merely taking their summer vacations before the regular time.It had been urged by some tha: the Italian government move energe:- ically with respect to these diplomatic representatives, and hy ofhers that the Vatican resist any effort to force them to withdraw.But these extreme measures failed, and thus the law of guarantees remains untouched.Germans Will Stick.From Germany come reports that considerable resentment is felt in oi- ficial quarters there against what is alleged to be the obstinacy of the Austrian diplomacy responsible for the failure of the negotiations with Italy in#tiated by Prince Von Buelow, the German Ambassador.The, suggestion had even been made that Austria should be left alone to tight Lily, but pledges taken by the German general staff and by the German Emperor personally with Emperor Francis Joseph resuited in the triumph er those advocating Austro-German sol- durity, even in a new war again.t Italy.About 800,000 Bavarians and Hungarians have already been concentrated against [taly, Austria ensuring them commissariat service, Although Field Barsha' Baron Contad Von Hoetzendori, chief of staff of the Austrian army, had prepared for many years for a possible ont- break of war between Austria and vicinity of

May 22, via Paris, May 23 \u2014In all the leading towns of the province of Trent Austrian police are re: ported to have arrested prominen?persons whose names had been included in the list of hostages prepar ed some time ago.Houses in the vicinity of the forts of Trent, Pergine, Gardolo and Mottarello have been blown up by the Austrian military authorities.In the forests and valleys trees have been desftoyed so as to give a iree range for the artillery.Austrians are reported to have mined the monument erected at Trent 0 Dante and to have declared that i: will be blown up if Italian troops approach the city.MAYOR JOINS COLORS.Rome, via Paris, May 23.\u2014Prince Colonna, mayor of Rome, has resumed his post in the army as a major of Italy, the belicf is held here that the | cavalry and

everywhere, cven along the Dalmatian coast, which is already protected by fixed and foating mines and guarded by a dozen submarines, carrying German officers and sailors.The Austrian feet is centered

railway accidents in the British Isles, the number of dead and injured being far greater than in any previous disaster of the kind The death roll probably will be added to, as many of the injured are not ex, pected to recover.Added to the horror of these three trains coming into collision was a fire which broke out in the wreckage and which rendered the rescue of those held in the tangled mass impossible.Tons of water were poured on the wreck, but before the fire was subdued many of the injured were dura.(Coptinued on Page Two) SA to death \"MY BUSINESS IS i I Greece Follows Events Closely
