LANCASTER. WISCONSIN, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 30 1916 ITALY DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY Break Follows King’s Move Against Bulgars. DELIVERED THROUGH SWISS Communication From Rome to Berlin Announces Hostilities Will Begin After August 28—Roumania Ready to Fight. Rome, Aug. 28. —Baron Sonniuo, minister of foreign affairs, announced fL-it Italy considers herself in a state of war with Germany. The official announcement of a siate of war between Italy and Germany has aroused great enthusiasm here. Cheering crowds # are parading the streets, applauding the government’s decision. Diplomatic circles here expect inter vention in the war by .Roumania against the centrals empires soon. Official Announcement. The official announcement of Italy’s declaration of war on Germany, as given out here, follows: “The Italian government declares in the name of the king that Italy con siders herself to he in a state of war with Germany as from August 28, and begs the Swiss government to convey this information to the imperial Ger man government.” Berlin, via Sayville, Aug. 2S. —An official announcement says: “The Ital ian government has declared, through the Swiss government, that from Au gust 28 Italy considers herself at war with Germany.” The declaration has been acknowledged formally by the German government. London. Aitg. 28. —Declaration of war by Italy on Germany has been ex pected for several days, owing to the fact that the Italian troops now are fighting against Germans in Greece. The declaration will make it possi ble to employ Italian troops against the Germans in France, if General Joffre deems such a measure advis able. Balkans Hasten Move. Italy and Germany have been drift ing steadily toward war. In tact, Italy’s formal declaration amounts to little more than official recognition of a state of affairs which already ex isted. The declaration became inevitable wlieif Italy recently sent troops to Snloniki to co-operate in the campaign of the entente allies on the Macedonian front, as Germany is directing the op posing forces and has troops on this battle line. Italy’s position in regard to Germany has been an anamolous one since Italy withdrew from the triple alliance of last year and declared war on Austria. Although by this act she arrayed her self against her former allies, Ger many and Austria, she remained of ficially at peace with Germany until now. According to unofficial reports from Europe, Italy’s allies were dissatisfied and at the Paris council of entente powers in February last asked the Italian representatives why their na tion was not at war with Germany. Itady already had agreed not to con clude a separate peace, and at the Paris conference sanctioned the plan for a permanent high council of the entente powers for future conduct of the war. The increasing co-operation among the entente allies and the necessity for bringing into service Italy’s sur plus of troops, which could not be employed on the other fronts without bringing on war with Germany, grad uatly brought Italy into such a posi tion that it became evident a declara tion of hostilities against Germany was only a matter of time.

BELL’S ADVIC E. “Dr. Bell, what would your message to a young man who wanted to amount to something?” James Hay, Jr., was the interviewer; Alexander Graham Bell, the interviewed. The inventor answered slowly, and choosing his words with care. “The young man whe "ants to get on,” he said, “must pick out for him self the thing to which he wishes to devote his life. He must not be sway ed by the net ambition of his mother or the fond wish of his father. From his own tastes, and, above all, from his own enthusiasms, he must get the motive and inspiration which is to start him on his way to a successful life. “He must go farther than picking out his profession. He must remem ber that there are many professions within one profession. Having pick ed out his profession he must com plete his preparatory work by select ing a special line within tnat pro fession. “Now, specialization is another word for concentration. The y >ung nan who trains his mind to concen trate on a given tiling has taken the first great stride toward success. Naturally, most young men are not in a position to please themselves en tirely as to their surroundings. Fre quently they have to work in offices with other people, may be annoyed by the confusion incident to such surroundings and may feel that they have been tossed into situations which militate against concentration. “This, however, need not be the <ase. I have known young men. ap palled at first by the clatter of in struments in a big telegraph room, who have succeeded finally in disre garding the noise and in thinking as logically and effectively there as in their own studies in later life. It seems too obvious for discussion that, without this cultivated ability for concentration of one’s mental powers, success is far away. “This, then would be my idea for every young man: Let him decide what profession or calling he wishes to lollow; let him take up specifically a certain line of that calling, and let him train his mind to concentrate with intense thought on what he is doing. Enthusia m encourages a man to concentrate ail his energies on Lis object. And the move he can concen trate, the more his enthusiasm grows. One is fed by the other —and it is a combination that is hard to beat.” — Excerpt from James Hay, Jr.’s article about Dr. Bell in the June American. LITTLE GRANT. (Special Correspondence to Herald.)
