Upon AMERICA And ITALY
RESTS EYES OF FIGHTERS
THE WAR GOES ON
STEADILY.
Developments With Regard to I. 5
Note and ROme'S New Cabinet
of Prime Importance.

The Associated Press weekend sum-
mary of the European war situation
is as follows:
Germany's reply to the United States
and Italy's decision remain the matters
OF paramount interest in the war.
Ambassador Gerard las presented
the American note to the German for
eign minister at Berlin, and while a
reply is not expected for sevral days,
it is reported in Washington that high
officials are confident passenger YES
sells will not be subjected>to submarine
attack in the interim.
Premier Salandra, whose resignation
with his entire cabinet caused great
outburst in Italy, according to the lat
est advices, has returned to power.
King Victor Emanuel previously had
asked MIN to withdraw mis- resignation
''for the good of the country" but,
finding the former premier obdurate,
attempted to Fave another statesman
reconstruct the ministry. This fail
ing, Salandra consented again to take
up the duties of his Office. 1t is prob
able that the ministry to be formed
with the aid of the leaders of tie
stronger parties will not be long in
taking an advanced stand. The cry Of
the people has been for war, and the
Salandra cabinet was opposed by ex-
Premier Giolitti and others who ia
Fored peace.
In Portugal serious rising Eas oc-
CURED in which the navy shelled Lis
bon. in the Portuguese capital the
army remained loyal to the govern
ment and late wireless dispatch from
Lisbon says the insurrection has been
crushed. The revolntionists, in max
ing public their attitude, said they de-
sired to rid the country of dictato-
rial government and to establish in
the presidency The ex-premier, Alfonso
Costa. One report had it that Costa
had been assassinated, but this was
not confirmed. Another report said
that President Manuel de Arriaga had
disappeared from Lisbon.
Fighting in Belgium and France con-
tinues wid. out letup.
In the east, the most interesting
struggle is going on near Przemysl, in
front of which is the Tenth army corps
of the Austro-Hungary army. All eff
forts are to be put forth to retrieve
the defeat of G.e former defenders.
The advance of strong Russian forces
near Shawl has been brought to a
standstill, according to the Berlin Of
fetal statement. The Teutonic allies
still are pursuing the Russians in the
region south of the Pilica river as far
as the vistula.

INCREASING TROUBLES
OF SETTLING EUROPE
IN PORTUGAL ADDS FIRE
TO WARLIKE FEELING.
Small Countries Are Waiting on Italy.
Greece, Bulgaria and ROumania
Ready to Follow Her Lead.

London, May 15.-With the outbreak
Of revolution in Portugal, which, &C
cording to dispatches from Madrid, is
supported by the navy, Spain, Switzer-
land, Holland and the Scandinavian
countries are the only States in Eu-
rope which are not either engaged in
war or have domestic troubles to oc-J
cupy their attention.
Little news has come through from
Lisbon, but it is reported that he navy
has bombarded the capital, held by the
army, which remains loyal to the pres
ident, Manuel de Arriaga. 1t is not
known whether the insurrection was
started by the royalists, but members
of that party resident in London dis
claim all knowledge Of it. Later re-
ports tonight say the revolution mas
been crushed, but there is no conirma-
ton of this.
Greece, Bulgaria and Roumania,
vi ere there are pro-war and anti-war
parties, are waiting for the final de-
cision delayed by the resignation of
Premier Salandra, VINO, however, is
reported from Rome to be back in
Office. The prediction is made thaG
Salandra will form new government
with the support of the leaders of the
stronger parties in the chamber.
Among the belligerents interest way-
ers between battles in Galicia, F1an-
ders and Pas de Calais, and operations
in the Dardanelles.
In Galicia the Austro-German rush
seemed to IcaEe exhausted itself when
the river San was reached and all the
towns on the west bank of tnat river
fell into German hands. This COM
PEELED the Russians to fall back in
southern Poland, so tsat their line now
runs from Ploek, on the lower Vistula,
southeastward to Pryemysl, thence
south and east through eastern Ga
licia and Bukowina to the Roumanian
border.
At tie latter end of thls line the
Russians still are pursuing their Of
fensive and have driven the Austrians
back in disorder some 20 miles, but
they themselves are being forced out
of the Carpathians and are in danger
of losing Pryemysl, as the Austrians
and Germans are to the north and
south of that city.
The British appear to have resisted
successfully all German attacks on
Ypres, while the Belgians have con-
tinued t.eir attacks from the sea to
Dixmude, and the French have made
further headway north of Arras. It
would appear from today's long
French official statement that the Of
fensive in uais part of Pals de Calais
was not intended as the commence
ment of the big general movement.
but merely was an operation, COM
pleteIy successful, to rectify the
French front, in which Carency form
ed a threatening salient.
TIE French had formidable oppo-
sition to overcome, but after a ter
rife artillery bombardment succeeded.
They are carrying out an offensive
in the Woevre and have made further
progress in some sections, while in
others tie Germans claim the advan-
