Home or Abroad to Meet Needs of Nation. Rome, May 23, 11:25 p, m. via Paris, May 24, 5:560 a. m.—Detalls con- cerning Italy’s declaration of war | against Austria-Hungary were given by Foreign Midister Sonnino this (Sunday) afternoon at a cabinet coun- cil which lasted three hours. Baron Sonnino referred particu- larly to the relations between Italy and Germany, expressing the belief that the latter would declare war as soon as official information was re. ceived regarding Italy’s action against her ally. The council did not con- sider military questions, as they have entrusted entirely to the general staff, which will . work in harmony with the commanders of the allies forces. Financial meagures were taken up and it is believed a loan wil be floated either at home or abroad sufficient to meet the needs of the nation. A royal decree has been publishd providing for a rigid censorship, ex. tending to letters, newspapers, tele- grams, telephone messages .and par-| cel post packages. The decree also restricts personal liberties, especialiy as regards public meetings. ALL ITALY EAGER TO FIGHT AUSTRIA | Thousands of Volunteers Proffer Their Services to National Cause— Students' Anxious to Enlist. On the Italian Frontier, May 23, via Paris, May 24, 5:356 a. m.—A doy of suspense which brought with it the long expected actual declaration of war against Austria-Hungary found all Italy eager for the conflict. Thou- sands of volunteers proffered their | services to the national cause. ’Stu~ dents not yet called to the colors but anxious to enlist, besieged the mili- tary authorities. ‘Announcement had been made that volunteers eightcen years of age or older, who are phv- sically fit, will be accepted by the government for the duration of the war, Members of Yacht clubs and boat clubs in all parts of the kingdom, al- most to a man offered the govern- ment their services and the use ot ‘their craft. Persons in all walks of life pledged their services to the Red Cross ana gifts of all kinds were received by 5hat organization. Intense indignation has been caused by reports that thousands of Italians have been detained at stations along the Austrian and German frontiers, and there subjected to ill treatment. A train load of Italians arriving at Cermons, near Goritz, are reported to have been driven into a field by Austrian gendarmes, and forced to_re- main all night in a heavy rain with- out shelter or food. Several children are said to have died’because of this experience. The woman and children were prmitted to cross into Ttalian’ territory the next day, but all the men were detained.
