1 These lists are, with the following exceptions, identical with those published on December 11, 1917, in the Official Bulletin issued by the Committee on Public Information: The declaration of Serbia against Germany appears to have been made August 6, instead of August 9, 1914, that of Japan against Germany appears to have been made August 23, 1914, instead of August 23, 1917, and Austria has issued no declaration of war against Japan, as stated by the Bulletin. On August 27, 1914, the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to the United States notified the Department of State that Austria-Hungary had severed diplomatic relations with Japan and that the Austrian cruiser Queen Elizabeth had been ordered to join the German fleet in the Far East. On this information, the Department of State issued a neutrality proclamation, dated August 27, 1914. Neither Government has issued a declaration of war. In the first list the last three entries and in the second list the last entry are additional to the list in the Bulletin.
