tions with the United States in
Vienna Sunday.
Austria’s break with the United
Stdtes undoubtedly is the prelude to
a declaration of a state of war. Sixty-
two days elapsed between the break
in relations between the United States
and Germany and the formal declara-
tion of war.
Immediately on word of the break
all the Aastzian ships in American
ports—a dozen or more—were seized.
A general munitions board to as-
seme prompt equipment of the army
and navy for war was created by the
Cemncil of National Defense and its
advisory commission.
The creation of this board, to be
headed by Frank A. Scott, vice presi-
dent of the Warner & Swasey com-
pany of Cleveland, put at rest for the
time at least reports that the admin-
istration was considering the creation
of a special cabinet position for a di-
rector of munitions.

LATIN NATIONS MAY JOi
Brazil, Angered Over Sinking of
Steamer, Likely to Break With Ger-
many at Any Moment.
Cuba is at war with Germany—the
first of the Latin American countries
to range herself alongside the Unit- °
red States, her liberator and protector.
Saturday night President Menocal
affixed his signature to the joint reso-
lution passed unanimously by both
the senate and house without a dis-
senting voice, thus putting into effect
(the declaration that a state of war
exists between Cuba and the imperial
: German government.
Port police who boarded the self-in-
terned German ship Bavaria were in-
formed by her commander, Captain
Graafles, that he, in compliance with
orders from his government, had at-
tempted to damage the machinery in
order to render the ship useless.
Preparations to place a Cuban vol-
unteer army of 10,000 men at the dis-
posal of the United States are active-
ly under way, it has been announced
officially.
i
Brazil Angerea Over Sinking.
The sinking of the Brazilian steam-
er Parana with the possible loss of
life of three members of the crew by
a German submarine has brought the
country to the brink of war with the
kaiser’'s government. The president
of the country is waiting for the of-
ficial account of the sinking before
taking action. Indignation is felt
throughout the country.
Argentine Papers Warlike.
All the newspapers of Buenos
Aires are filling pages with articles
in regard to the entrance of the Unit-
ed States and Cuba into the war, pub-
Hshing pictures of President Wilson,
President Menocal and other prom-
inent men of the two nations. La
Prensa believes one impertant result
of Cuba’s action will be to make im-
possible the operation of German sub-
marines’ and commerce raiders from
bases in the Antilles.
La Nacion says the action of the
Uhited States means that South Amer-
ica is confronted with a grave situa-
tion and foresees difficulties in the
maintenance of commerce.
- rn ——————
Common Policy Needed.
The Peruvian press says the en-
trance of the United States and Cuba
into the war, together with the sink-
ing of the Brazilian steamship Parana,
make it imperative for the nations of
South America to formulate a common
policy. This program the newspapers
say must be directed against Ger-
many.
Chile Likely to Join in War.
The Chileans are greatly disturbed
by the course of events in Brazil in
consequence of the sinking by the Ger-
mans of the Brazilian steamship
Parana. The entrance of Cuba into
the war and the attitude of Panama
have made a deep impression and in
political quarters the belief is ex-
pressed that eventually Chile will be
compelled to join in the war.
