Italy's Intention to maintain nor. mai trarf relation with Germany was reported In offcial circles. It was said that while mere mignt oe a stoppage of a day or two in shipping It would be only for an adjustment of a balance for payment tnroueh clearing nouses.

NOT TO ATTACK. ITA1 Failure of the British and French governments to Involve Italy In their dispute with Germany, wa considered here as sufficient assur ance Italy would not be attacked. Th mipsflnn lmmedlatelv arose In manv minds, however, as to whether Hitler might call upon Italy for aid. The question was particu-larlv nrssinff in view of the Chans. ed situation since last Friday when tne oerman menrer puouciy wiui-held such a call in his historic and impassioned speech before the Reichstag.

Another question uppermost in Italian minds was whether Germany might not count on the use of Italian ports for supplies, including those of her new economic partner. Russia, through the Black sea. This would be especially per- tlnent If the British navy blockaded German porta as appeared probable. Diplomatic sources Indicated Britain and France were counting on Italy to remain neutral, rather than go to war on Germany's side. IL DICE PRAISED As evidence of this assumption, they cited public tributes by both Prime Minister Chamberlain and Premier Daladier to II Duce's peace efforts.

There were indications, however, that the Rome government foresaw the possibility of Italy's Involvement in the manner In which defense measures continued. Responsible sources represented Mussolini as having made strong efforts to dissuade Hitler from the Polish campaign and negotiate a settlement. British and French declarations of war failed to surprise well-informed Italians, who based their only hope for avoidance of a general European conflict on the possibility that Hitler might halt his armies after cutting through the Polish Corridor. Gavda, one of the most authentic Italian editors wrote in Viva Voce Italia that Germany, after two day's fighting "does not appear far from occupation of all Polish territory she demanded as her natural right." He added, however, that Germany could not "be expected to withdraw from positions now firmly fixed by a victorious march of her armed columns." For that reason, he- advised Italians to refrain from "hasty" optimism" based on the possibility of localizing the war and settling the Polish-German dispute by negotia tion. In the past, Mussolini's govern- mnt lnsltjH If would refrain from inn InlMatfvfi in militjirv Ort- erations, giving the impression that sne would stay out oi war uniess attacked.

NoUct li further given that on the 8th. day ef September, 1131, at WAR ON REICH, (Continued From followed by King George, who I broadcast an appeal to his subjects to stand fast in the hour of conflict. Prime Minister Chamberlain Im mediately formed a new wartime government which took in former Foreljm Secretary Anthony Eden as dominions secretary and which in cluded Winston Churchill as first lord of the admiralty. The admiralty announced that the Duke of Kent, youngest brother of King George, had taken up a war appointment, the nature oi which was not disclosed. SHIPS MADE CRUISERS Another communiaue said Britain had commissioned armed merchant ships as auxiliary cruisers and has proviaea convoys for her merchant shipping around the world.

"The Royal navy is fully mobilized and at Its war stations In full strength, supplemented by a number of fully-commissioned armed merchant ships as auxiliary cruis ers." the communique said. War restrictions designed to conserve Great Brltains financial resources will be put into effect tomorrow. A ban was placed on im portation a number of commodi ties which were termed luxuries, in order to conserve exchange for war purposes. Colonial and Dominion circles said they expected virtually air parte of the widespread empire to give mil cooperation to the mother country It was to this empire that King George broadcast, his appeal. HITLER BLAMED BY KING "We have been forced Into a conflict." said the slender, youthful appearing monarch.

"We are called with our allies to meet the challenge of a principle, which If It were to prevail would be fatal to anv civilized order in the world." The monarch was alone in a room at Buckingham palace as he. spoke. Queen Elizabeth listened from another room. The cabinet was reconstructed, with Winston Churchill. World war first lord of the admiralty, being given the post he held In the last conflict.

Sir Samuel Hoare, former minister of home affairs, became first lord privy seal, and Lord Hankey was made minister without portfolio. In a weary voice that sometimes dropped to a bare, tired murmur, the 70-year-old prime minister told the nation: "This morning the British ambassador in Berlin handed the German government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock that they were preparing at once to withdraw their trooDS from Poland a state of war would exist between us. WAR IS DECLARED "I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received and in consequence this country is at war with Germany. It Is evil things that we shall be fighting, against bruite force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution. "And against them I am certain that right will prevail." Later in a five-minute speech before the House of Commons Chamberlain declared: "It is a sad day for all of us but for none is It sadder than for me.

"Everything I had worked for, hoped for and believed In during my public life has crashed into rums. "There Is but one thing left for me and that is to devote what strengths and powers I have to forwarding victory of the cause for which we have to sacrifice our selves. "I can not tell what part I may be allowed to play but I trust I may live to see the day when Hit-lerlsm has been destroyed and a restored and liberated Europe has been reestablished." CHAMBERLAIN CHEERED Members of the house rose and cheered the prime minister as he sat down. Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax made a similar speech in the House of Lords. Halifax announced German Charge d'Affaires Theodore Kordt had been handed his passports.

(The German ambassador to Lonaon nas been absent from his post for some time and was reported on vacation in Germany.) (Both the German and French ambassadors took their leave of Ber lin in formal calls on German For-eign Minister Joachim von Ribben- trop. Britons took the news with ap parent calm. small groups strouea ine streets as on an ordinary Sunday, laughing and joking. The onlv difference was that many carried gas masks slung over their shoulders ana army u-ucks sped through the street carrying troops and equipment. Scarcely had Chamberlain completed his radio broadcast before a general air raid warning sounded.

Crowds rushed to shelters and the streets remained deserted for half an 'hour. ALL CLEAR' SIGNAL The air ministry later issued a communique explaining the warning was given wnen an umnenuiiea plane was sighted off the south coast but that it was identified afterwards as a "friendly craft" and the all clear signal wss given. The sirens sounding the clear signal could be heard In the house as the speaker took his chair. The nubile was Dreoared for the war declaration by a communique broadcast earlier giving tne terms of the British ultimatum and ask ing listeners to stand by for the prime minister statement. The ultimatum was that a "state of war" would exist between Brit ain and Oermany at 11 a.

unless Oermany agreed before that time to suspend action sgalnst Po land and her forces Im mediately. Thus the state of war actually started at 11 a. m. The government's action met almost universal approval in the House of Commons where leaders of opposition parties and World war leaders such as Lloyd George, wartime first lord of the admlrslty, pledged their support. Labor Leader Arthur Greenwood, who spoke Immediately after Chamberlain concluded, said: LABOR BACKS WAR "The intolerable agony of sua pense Is over, We know the worst.

Liberal Leader Sir Archibald Sin clair Joined with Greenwood In a tribute to the Polish people, saying "the world should know the British people are inexorably determined to achieve what the prime minister said to end this Nazi domination and build an order based on justice and freedom." Lloyd George said he often had disagreed with the foreign policies the government but in this case They can do no other than they have done." Parliament Immediately consider a group of defense measures carried over from yesterday. CONSCRIPTION PASSED Both houses quickly passed a bill for conscription of men from 18 to years for military service.

The government also announced several precautionary measures In cluding the closing of all theaters and motion picture houses and banning all outdoor and indoor sports gatherings. It was announced also that all banks would be closed tomorrow but would reopen Tuesday. In mid-afternoon a royal commission gave the king's assent to the military conscription act and other war legislation passed by parliament yesterday and last night. By HENRY C. CASSIDY PARIS.

SCDt. 3. (flV-France Join ed Great Britain in war against Germany today. The long-feared conflict broke after eleventh-hour peace efforts came nought. News of the first armed clashes was awaited in a spirit of calm In the darkened and partially evacuated capitals.

MILLIONS UNDER ARMS Huge armies, numbered on each side in millions, faced each other behind heavily fortified defense lines. Aviation the unknown quantitywas the prime subject of speculation. Dispatches from Poland, where the war started Friday with German in vasion, said fighting continued, but up to a late hour, news of the opening of Anglo-French nostiimes against the old foe across the Rhine was lacking. Premier Daladier, In a three-minute radio address, solemnly assured the French people they would be victorius In the war Hitler "chose." "HITLER CHOOSES WAR" "The responsibility for bloodshed," the premier said, "rests entirely upon Hitler's government. The future of peace was In Hitler's hands.

He chose Emphasizing Franco-British efforts to avoid war, Daladier said that even today, both nations gave the German Fuehrer a last chance. Daladier said today's communication to Berlin was a "last appeal to reason' He called the German government the "most despicable of and added that in going to Poland's aid, France also Is "fighting to defend our land, homes and liberty." The premier said the British and French ambassadors to Berlin had this time, setting a limit by the clock Informed Germany if she ceased hostilities in Poland and withdrew her troops, peace negotiations could be opened ANSWER NOT SATISFACTORY In each case, he said, the Nazi government answered "no." The French government announced officially that Germany had re- fiwuri to ffive a "satisfactory answer" to France's ultimatum for withdraw al of Re ch troops irom roiana, automatically nuttine France at war with her historic enemy across the Rhine. The foreign ministry issued a com munion which said: "Monsieur Coulondre, the ambassador of France, was received at u.ao p. m. (6:30 a.

"He asked If he was in a position iriw a satisfactory reDlv to the communication of September 1 Monsieur de Ribbentrop replied nega WAR NU1 a a result." the communique said, "Monsieur Coulondre after recalling for the last time the heavy responsibility assumed by the Reich in engaging in hostilities against Poland without a declaration of war, and by not replying to suggestions of the French and British governments, made known that the French Sovernment, starting toaay, eepiem-mr 9 mt 1 m.

While the final communique converting Europe's war of nerves Into a war of arms was being issued to the press at the roreign nunisury, Premier Daladier conferred at the war ministry with Air Minister Guy Lachambre.

The Oermans tried their "lightning" war through Belgium in 1914 and almost reached Paris, before the Anglo-French armies, lato aided by the Americans, stopped them. Some military experts believe Germany's Siegfried line must be cracked and believes the rrench could do it.

Others held to a defensive war as the best tactics, but that was before they knew Italy would not automatically be fighting alongside Germany. Then they envisaged Italy as a good flanking target, because of difficulties of defending her long coast ITALY NOT W1LLINO When Hitler told the Reichtag last Friday he did not need Italy In his Polish campaign, some believed he wss only masking Italian unwillingness to fight.
