u. S. MAY FILE PROTEST
AGAINST ALLIES'PLANTO
STOP GERMAN TRADING
Dispatches From Italy Make 1t Appear That Government
May Soon Decide to Enter War; German Assault on
OssOwetz Produces Only Insignificant Results, Ac-
cordng to Reports From Petrograd

The impression was gained in
Washington to-day that the United
states probably would protest to Great
Britain and her allies against their
plan to stop trade with Germany, as
outlined in the British order in coun-
Gil yesterday. The administration has
mad no time to consider the official
text of the order, but President Will
son indicated informally that the
measures contemplated are displeasing
TO the United States.
The claim is made by the French
War Office that the Germans have
suffered reverses in two sections of
the Western front. The British army
is said to have recaptured ST. Eloi
and to have carried new German po-
sitions near the village.
Additional Prussian casualties lists
bring up the total of killed, wounded
and missing since the war began to
l.O5O,O29. This does not include cas-
ualties in the German states other
than Prussia.
The British auxiliary cruiser
Drama, which took part in the battle
off Juan Fernandinez Island oon Sun
day, in which the German cruiser
Dresden was sunk, arrived at VAL
paraiso, Chile, and it was learned that
nineteen members of the Dresden's
crew were missing. The survivors,
some wounded, were aboard the
Drama.
Dispatches from Italy make it ap-
pear that that nation is approaching
decision as to whether it shall ad-
here to it's policy of armed neutrality
or intervene in the war. Following the
reports of partial suppression by Italy
of the mails to Austria and the con-
ference of Emperor Francis Joseph
with his minister of war concerning
the defense of the Italian frontier
comes d despatch from a Roman
newspaper to the effect that the 1tal-
ian fleet is being concentrated at Ia
rento. This is the point in Italy near
es' the Dardanelles.
So far as has been reported officially,
the bombardment of the Dardanelles
has produced no further important re-
suits. Official advices from Athens
say that on sunday the attacking war
ships silenced several Turkish field
batteries which had been posted above
Kumkale, at the entrance to the Dar-
danelles.
