AUSTRIA AT WAR j WITH SMALLEST STATE IN WORLD Little, 1.000 Year Old Republic of San Marino Is Drawn Into Conflict By Associated Press Home. March 5. via Paris, March 6. —Austria considers herself at war with the republic of San Marino, is the message conveyed by Frederick C. Penfield, American ambassador to Austria-Hungary, to the regents of the smallest State in the world, who had applied through him to have their citizens interned in Austria re leased. Austria justified her refusal with the statement that San Marino has committed a serious breach of neutrality. The republic of San Marino in northern Italy, 14 miles southwest of Rimini, is 22 square miles in area and has a population of 9,500. The supreme power of the republic re sides in the general assembly and it is governed by two regents selected twice a year from the sixty life mem bers of the tireat council. The avail able armed forced of the republic form a total of 1,200 men. all citizens able to bear arms, being technicallv obliged to do so from the ages of 16 to 60 years. This little State has had an existence of 1,000 years. The nature of the serious breach of neutrality which Austria alleges that San Marino has committed is not recorded. Soon after the declaration of war by Italy on Austria it was rumored that San ; Marino had made a similar declara- i tion, but this was never confirmed.
