This is what he says i about it: “I certainly never had! any idea What a bombardment} was until last night.

A statement, giving the reasons for the action was given out by Baron Bonnino, Minister of Foreign Affairs. It says, in part: “The hostile acts of Germany toward Italy have become more frequent. Suffice it to mention the persistent military aid rendered to Austria and the constant participation of German officers, soldiers and sail- ors in the war against Italy. Owing to German help Austria-Hungary was enabled to concentrate her maximum effort against Italy." ' Rome Declares Wanâ€"â€"May Ald Franco ‘ â€"Ends Strange Situation A squadron of the Entente allies' aeroplanes bombarded the neighbor- hood of Ghent, Friday morning, ac- cording to The Echo Belge. There was a terrific exp;(;sion shattering windows throughom the city caused by the bloaizzg up t.‘ an ammunition degot. A little lat-er a second ex- plosion equally severe. was heard. An ammunition depot at Meirebeke also was blown up, and a Zeppelin was seriously damaged. The official announcement aroused great enthusiasm here. Cheering crowds are parading the streets, ap- lauding the Government’s decision. he declaration will make it possible to employ Italian troops against the Germans in France if General Jotre deems such a measure advisable. Italy’s declaration brings to an end one of the strangest situations record- ed in the history of nations: The un- natural retention of peace between these countries for more than two years after the outbreak of the Euro- pean conflict, which burst the Triple Alliance and which resulted on ay 23. 1915, in an open break with us- trla-Hungary, Germany’s ally. the west of Lake Van, captured Mush, where they took some prisoners.

An official report issued in Porto- grad on Friday said: “Our troops, pressing the enemy in the region to Petrograd reported on Saturday: The Turkish attenpt to encircle the left flank of the Russian Caucasian army appears to have received a crushing blow rom the troops of Grand Duke Nicholas in the region of Lake Van.

But it is clear that the pressure has not been in the least relaxed and the year’s greatest battles will come in September and October. The British, it was officially reported today, have taken 200 yards of a German trench in the vicinity of Pazentin-le-Petit, and have made a slight advance northwest of Ginchy. The French report nothing but the de- feat of several German charges at scattered points along their whole front. Three attacks were made by the Germans Saturday night against French positions in Vaux-Chapltre Wood, northeast of Verdun, and one in the Apremont Forest in Lorraine.
