Italy's position in regard to Ger

war on Austria. Although by this act
she arrayed herself against her former
allies, Germany and Austria, she re
mained officially at peace with Ger
many until Sunday.
Rpifnre Italv took this step Germany
exerted every effort to induce her to
remain neutral, sending to Rome as an

powers in February last asked the Ital

was not at war with Germany. Italy
already had agreed not to conclude a
separate peace and at the Paris con
ference sanctioned the plan for a per

powers for future conduct of tne war.
The increasing co-operation among
the entente allies and the necessity
for bringing into service Italy's sur

into such a position that it became
evident a declaration of hostilities

W ltn tne railway executives maiming

The four brotherhood heads issued a
statement replying to President Rea,

to arbitration the roads preferred to
face a strike. The statement charged
the Pennsylvania with inconsistency in
that two years ago it fought the ef

controlling interest in five small roads
it has refused them representation on
the managers' conference committee,
and that if arbitration were agreed up
