Rome, May 22. (U. P.) Italy took her most decisive step toward war today, when mobilization or ders were published and all prep arations made for the conflict with Austria. It is now. regarded that the opening of hostilities is virtually only a matter of hours. The Messagero declares that during . the council of ministers early today a declaration of war was drafted. By publishing mo bilization orders, however, Italy has opened the way for hostilities without a declaration from Rome, as Austria might demand an ex planation and failing to receive satisfaction declare war upon Italy. 1 , Rome, May 2:-(UiP.)

It is learned - that representatives of Austria-Hungary, Prussia and Ba varia tit the Vatican have received precise instructions from "their re spective governments to cling to their diplomtie posts, until forcibly ejected. This ct Is interpreted as a scheme for embarrassing and embroiling the Italian and Papal governments. Rome, May 22. (I. N. S.) . Reports were current here today . that the government would delay giving Baron yon" Macchio, the Austrian ambassador, his passports until Italians in Austria-Hungary and Germany had had an oppor tunity of getting out of the Teu tonic countries. Rome, May 22. (I. N.-S.) The "war bill" is now law. Italy is one step nearer the entrance in the great Euro pean struggle. King Victor Emmanuel today signed parliament's measure con i ferring extraordinary powers .on the cabinet and the 'law went into effect - - Immediately. Parliament has 'ad journed and the cabinet is supreme in the directing of Italy's destiny. Text of the bill is as follows: "The government is authorized In case of war and during hostilities to make decisions with due authority in . bU respects required for the defense . of the state, the guarantee of public - order and urgent .economic and na tional necessities. Also . to have r . course -until December 31, 1916, to monthly provisional appropriations for . balancing the budget.""

' ' Boyal Decree Expected. The cabinet met at 10:30 o'clock. Immediately thereafter came the an nouncement that King Victor naa signed the war bill. - Italy's declaration of war was still withheld but it was expected that a royal decree giving notice to the world that the nation was at grips with the ' Germanic allies was expected before night, , 1 At a' "meeting, of the cabinet last night, Minister of 'War ZupelH - an nounced that the military' preparations were complete and that Italy was pre pared to strike.

Berlin, via wireless to Sayville, . L. r., May 22A-(1. N. S.) Extracts from Premier Salandra's "green book" to day formed the basis of new charges of deceit against Italy. 1 Local papers declared that the ex planations . set forth by Italy's prime minister made no mention of the fact that Austria and Germany had shown throughout the greatest desire to ar rive at an amicable understanding. Vienna, the papers said, offered to send Count Goluchowsky to Rome with full authority to conclude negotia tions for settlement of all differences. "For some time," said one newspa per, "Austria's proffer was completely Ignored. Finally, in response to re peated inquiries as to whether Count Goluchowsky's presence would be agreeable Foreign Minister Sonlno re plied that he did not consider that the visit would be 'opportune' at this time, 'because it would cause too great a stir.' "Italy's, renunciation of Its alliance with Germany and Austria occurred May 4, though Austria was attempt ing continually to continue negotia tions." Austria Replies Formally. Vienna, via Amsterdam, May 22. (TJ. P.) Austria 'today formally re plied to the charges made by the Italian green book in justification of Italy's action, in discontinuing nes tiations as to the territorial conceWf sions and preparing for war.

In formal i . and unofficial -conferences looking toward ; an arrangement re garding the disposition of goods pur chased in Germany by Americans, be fore the British order in-council was Issued, have been broken off and ac tion now rests with the state depart ment. This was announced this afternoon in a formal announcement from the state departm'et. which said: "In view of the diffeernces which have arisen in the informal and unoffi cial conferences , between Sir Richard Crawford, commercial advisor of the British embassy, and Robert F. Rose and W. B. Fleming, trade advisors of the sate department, which have been in a personal capacity representing the importers of the United States, Rose and Fleming have decided they cannot continue the conferences until certain of the differences have been removed. "They have therefore made a full re port of what has taken place, and will await the state, department's action." Rose and Fleming 'teas been confer ring with Sir Richard Crawford fori weeks in : hopes that arrangements could be made regarding goods pur chased in Germany by Americans prior to March 1 could be obtained. This was the date on which the British em bargo went Into effect. , The nature of. the arguments ad vanced by both sides has not been learned, but it Is a foregone conclu sion that the British foreign office has taken some ground which the state de partment's trade advisers- deem hope lessly at variance with American inter-:l ests. than at any other time In the history of the government. Martial law prevailed thronghout Italy today. All telegraphic and tele phonic communications to the border were stopped and traffic on the Adri atic sea was at a standstill. It was announced today at 'the Aus trian and German"- embassies 1 that Prince Von Buelow and Ambassador Von Macchio were still in Rome.

Search was in progress throughout all Italy today for German and Aus trian spies. : . i A number of railway bridges on the frontier have been dynamited by Teu tonic adherents.; - ! While Rome has an appearance of normality, It would require but little to inflame the people into the wildest sort of demonstrations. v j Italy's interests in the Balkans are so vital, along with the interests of) Austria-Hungary and Russia, that U was taken as a certainty that Italy's entrance Into the war would be fol-j lowed by an extension j-of hostilities south of the Danube; Italy's action,; too, will have the greatest influence on the future poli cies of Roumania.

ENGLAND SUSPICIOUS BECAUSE OF ATTACKS Public Indignant With North cliffe, Chief Accuser of Earl Kitchener. London, May 22. (I. N. S.) Karl Kitchener today refused to retire' under fire, j Despite attacks made against Great Britain's famous war rior he will fight to a finish. Friends of the secretary of war declared he has. the backing of Premier Asquith, Foreign Secretary Sir Kdward Grey and Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd-Oeorge. Despite the efforts of certain Lib eral papers, notably the Manchester Guardian, which' are attempting to strike a higher patriotic note, England generally, and London In particular, is a morass of suspicion, distrust and abuse as the result of tangled political situation's and attacks which have been made upon Lor'd Kitchener. Newspapera which formerly con demned Kitchener have, rallied to his support since yesterday's attack upon' him by the Daily Mall and Lord North--cliffe today finds himself the most abused man. in England. The Daily Mall today reiterates its position and declares that Its state ments regarding Kitchener were Jus tified! "It blames the furor which the attack aroused to the high strung nerves of the people, who have been shaken out of their excessive com placency by recent events. Among the rank and file of the Lib erals thers is a growing uneasiness over the attitude of Kir Winston Churchill. .They do not understand -what-:4hcti rat. .lord of .the-admiralty intends to do and resent his conduct which they assert has brought about the present situation. There is a marked absence of that mutual friend liness which would make a coalition cabinet a success. Higher meat prices are being seri ously felt in London and' elsewhere throughout England.

Newspapers today, printed columns of speculation as to the personnel of the new ministry. It was generally, agreed that David Lloyd-George wii i be retained in some capacity. Andrew Bonar Law, opposition leader la the house' of commons, is certain of a place, it is accepted, while Arthur Hen derson, labor leader, is understood to be slated for president of the local government board. Several newspapers are confident that Lord Lansdowne will reenter th cabinet. . There is a wide difference of opinion as to whether Lord Kitche ner, secretary for war, and Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, will be retained. Churchill is expected to retire as fa st lord, but whether be. will be given some other portfolio is a matter of speculation.
