DUCE DECLARES | Killed in Hawaii AGAINST U. 3.

Privilege to to Fight With. Japs, He Says, and Predicts Victory.

ROME, Dec. 11 (U. P)—(via Buenos Aires) —Italy declared war on the United States today when Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano summoned U. S. Charge D’'Affairs George Wadsworth to the

Foreign Office and handed him his

passports. “His Majesty, of Italy, declares that Italy considers herself in a state of war with the United States of America from today,” Ciano said. Italy's war declaration was proclaimed by Premier Benito Mussolini in a speech before a vast assemblage of cheering Italians from the balcony of Venice Palace.

Promises Victory

“Fascist Italy and National Socialist Germany have allied themselves with Japan in a war against the United States of America,” he said. “We shall bring you victory. Mussolini said that “one man alone” is responsible for “this new war because by his contihued provo-

cations he has prepared for war)

Calls It Privilege

“After an infinite series of provocations the Japanese have struck in

the Pacific and have achieved great

victories. “It is a privilege to fight at their sides.”

ITALY GIVES UP FRENCH CLAIMS

Reported to Accept Other Concessions Under Nazi Pressure. Copyright 1941, by the Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, Dec. 11.—As a result of the meeting between France's Vice Premier Admiral Darian and Italy's Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano at Turin, Italy is reported to have renounced, under strong Nazi pressure, territorial claims against continental France and accepted instead concessions at the naval base at Bizerte, perhaps including the use of certain units of the French fleet. The meeting is believed to have been arranged during the Dec. 1 St. Florentin-Versigny conversations of Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering and French Chief of State Marshal Henri Petain. Meanwhile Nazi submarine concentrations amounting to 60 or 70 vessels are reported to have left their bases on the French Atlantic Coast headed for Dakar and the

Mediterranean to “defend” west Africa.

END WEATHER REPORTS WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (U. P)— The U. S. Weather Bureau said today that at the request of the Army and Navy it was discontinuing marine forecasts for the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts.

BERLIN, Dec. 11 (U. P)—Germany and Italy today declared war

on the United States and Adolf Hitler shouted that the Axis would “always strike the first blow.”

American diplomats were handed their passports as the formal declaration was announced—completing the lineup of major powers in a world war that has now carried hostilities to every quarter of the globe on a scale never before known in history. Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop made the formal declaration on behalf of Germany at noon (4 a. m. Indianapolis time) in a note handed to the American charge d'affairs in Berlin. Hitler told the Nazi Reichstag that Germany and Italy were honoring their obligations under the tripower military alliance and coming to the aid of Japan “in the struggle forced upon her.” The association of Germany, Italy and Japan, proclaimed the Fuehrer, will last “at least as long as the war lasts.” Germany, Hitler assured his audience, has the power and foresight the world conflict. said. ‘We will always deal the first blow.” Germany, Italy and Japan, he revealed, have bound themselves in a formal alliance of four articles. They agree: 1. To carry on to final victory the war against Britain and the United States with ‘every conceivable means.”

make flying his career and I helped him sign papers for the Air Corps. He was in the 17th Air Squadron and officers said he was developing into a top flight flyer.” Besides the mother, Pvt. Offutt is survived by a half-brother, Gene Binder, of Connersville. His mother said Julian always, wanted to travel and see the world. | Two years ago he left home and | went to Seattle and later to San | Francisco where he enlisted in the U. S. Air Corps as a clerk on Dec. 15, 1940. | “I am still too stunned to realize | what all has happened,” Mrs. Stultz said as she thanked friends and neighbors for their expressions of sympathy.

2. Not to conclude a separate peace or armistice. 3. To continue the closest collaboration and to establish a new and lasting order along the lines of the tripartite agreement. 4 To effectivate the pact immediately. “After peace has been won,” said Hitler, “the three countries will proceed in close collaboration to guarantee a lasting peace.” President Roosevelt, charged the Fuehrer, has done “everything in his power” to prevent Germany and Italy from securing their right of existence. “Our patience,” he shouted, “has come to the straining point. We had always tried to prevent a break with the United States. “But now, Italy and Germany, in loyal fulfillment of their obligations under the Axis agreement, associate themselves with Japan in the struggle against America and Britain.” As Hitler concluded speaking at 4:33 p. m, (8:33 a. m., Indianapolis Time) after making his war declaration four minutes earlier, ReichsHiaishnl Hermann Goering rose and said: | “God bless our Fuehrer.. God bless our reich.” | The Reichstag, assembled in the Kroll Opera House, rose and sang “Deutschland Uber Alles” and the Nazi Horst Wessel song. Hitler made these points: 1—That Britain and the United States have “flagrantly violated” international law. | 2—That the United States “plans |to take over the British empire in

the hour of its collapse as safely and with as little danger as possible.” 3—That the Axis has suffered a temporary defeat in Libya due to British superiority in heavy tanks. 4—-That only winter has halted the Nazi attack on Russia and that lit will be resumed but not before next summer. 5—That the United States was preparing plans for an attack upon Germany in 1943. “There are two persons responsible for relations between the United State and Germany,” Le said. “They are Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Wilson broke a pledge to Germany.” Hitler went into a lengthy con- | trast between President Roosevelt | and himself. “I endeavored to do nothing but | my duty,” he said, speaking of his | World War service. “I shared my fate with millions. Roosevelt shares his fate with the upper class of 10,000. “Roosevelt went on earning money. Hitler remained in a hos- | pital.” He said Germany put its population back to work through his efforts while Roosevelt failed to solve | the American unemployment prob- | lem.
