ITALIAN PARLIAMENT VOTES
TO DECLARE WAS ON AUSTRIA

Grants Cabinet Power to Start Conflict —Austrian Fleet
Reported Ready For Dash On Venice, While
Italy's 1,700,000 Troops Are Mass
ed For Rush Across The
Austrian Frontier
j • 1
ROME, Mav 20. —Italy took today her first definite
* * *
step toward her entry into the European war with the allies
when by a vote of more than (> to 1 of the 508 deputies pre
sent at the reopening of Parliament full powers were grant
ed to the government to deal with all public matters after
the declaration of war against Austria, and authorizing the
necessary extraordinary expenditure. The decision as to
the form which the open break with Austria will take and
its exact date now rests with the cabinet. It is believed
that an ultimatum will be sent to Vienna at once.
It is reported from Milan that the Austrian fleet at Pola,
the Austrian naval base in the Adriatic, is under steam and
waiting only the actual outbreak of hostilities to proceed to
Venice and bombard the ancient city. In anticipation of
such an action the authorities for several weeks have been
engaged in removing the art treasures from the galleries
and churches in Venice.
The movement of Italian troops toward northern and
eastern frontiers proceeds apace. Gen. Cadorna, the chief
of staff, is at Vicenza to take lull command of the 1,700,000
soldiers now in the northern zone. Passenger traffic on the
railroads leading to the frontiers lias been reduced to a
minimum. Fifty trains have been surpressed in the south,
while in Central and Northern Italy not even freight trains
are running, the lines being devoted exclusively to military
transport.
All the galleries of the Chamber of Deputies were crowded at 1 o'clock
some time before Parliament reassembled. Only one incident marked the
. '
opening of the session; that was when Gabrieie D'Annunzio entered the
gallery. All the deputies stood up and shouted: "Viva D'Annunzio!
Viva Italia!" D'Annunzio is known for his very radical stand in favor ** r
war. . •
Two or three Socialist deputies protested against this ovation to D'A
nunzio, but their voices were lost in the cheering.
