Kitchener is BLAMED FOR
BRITA|n'S Cabinet Crisis

London, May 20.-The Cabinet
crisis, according TO the usually we'll in
formed parliamentary correspondent OF
tho Daily News was precipitated
by Lord Kitchener 5 failure to keep
the ministry informed regarding sup
plies of ammunition sent to the front
Huge supplies of shells had been sent
but the proportion of shrapnel is re-
ported to have been greater than that
of high explosives, whereas the army
required preponderance. of high ex.
plosives.
Opposition leaders who were in pos
session of these facts, says the -" Daily
News, threatened debate in the
House of Commons to prove their ac-
curacy. Such a debate would have un-
derminded gravely the authority of the
government. Coupled with the admiral
ty quarrel and the resignation of Lord
Fisher, the paper asserts, it probably
would have meant the downfall of the
government which would have been
considered lamentable in the midst of
war. The moment was seized, there
fore, by Representatives of both sides
anxious for coalition Cabinet, and the
government assented to this solution to
avert a worse crisis.

matter was left in the hands of the

The conclusion reached last night
was that since the church could not see
its way clear to dispose of its present
property for less than $50, 900, it would
retain that property with the possible
exception of the parsonage. A new par,
sonage will probably be provided in
some other part of the city.

Philadelphia, May 20.-The appear

sun, strongly pronounced and resemb-
ling rainbows, about IL o clock to o-day
startled and interested hundreds of
thousands of persons in this city and
vicinity.
The rings are known as solar halos,
and are due to condensation in the at
mosphere consequent upon the low
temperatures which produced water
drops or ice crystals. The refraction
and infraction of the suns rays
through these brought about the occur

Gillette, BATES AND
DORO IN FINE PLAY
Assisted By Mr.. Majeroni, Mr.. Dexter
and Other Capable Actors, They
Present Diplomacy With Grip
ping Effectiveness at Majestic

\ rare display of fine acting was
gwen last evening in the Majestic
when William Gillette, Blanche Bates
and Marie DOro, heralded as "three-
STAR combination, appeared in the
lntensel y absorbing play of interna-
tional fame, Diplomacy. The work
of Mr.. Gillette, particularly, stood out
even in comparison with that of his
accomplished fellow artists. He had
more work and more exacting work TO
do than either of the other two prin-
clpals. This fact, perhaps, gave him
more opportunity to make a success
or failure of his part and the unani-
nous verdict of the audience was that
he made a wonderful success of it.
Miss Bates, as "Comtezza Zicka. 4"
a diplomatist who combines all the
wlles of a jealous woman with her
sRill at political intrigue, gripped tine
audience by her display of rare artis-
try, while Miss Doro, as "'Dora," the
innocent wife who is suspected for a
time of all the perfidy of the s'Comtez.
"a Zicka, took her part admirably.
Miss Doro does not, perhaps, possess
all of the histronic skill possessed bv
the more experienced Miss Bates, but
she nevertheless is an actress of rare
merit who by no means depends sole.
lE upon her girlishness and youthful
grace, for the success of her stage
work
The three principals by no means
deserve all of the credit for making
Diplomacy such gripping play as
i proved to be last night. The cast
throughout is a remarkably strong one.
The playing of Giorgio Maieroni. as
FCount Orlaff, and of Elliott Dex-
ter, as ''Julian Beaucleric. " in connec-
tion with Mr.. Gillette as "Henry
Beauelerie," near the close of the see
ond act, was by far the strongest bit
OF the evening.
1t was the scene between Julian
and the Count when the latter, without
knowing that his friend, Julian. had
lparried "Dora,' denounced the latter
as contemplate spy on purely cir
Gumstantial evidence. 1t was the en-
suing acting in which Mr.. Gillette took
2. conspicuous part as the friend and
advisor of the younger men and pre-
vented them from fighting duel, that
the three actors showed dramatic
ability of the rarest quality.

Austrian Offers Came Too Late

Rome, Via Paris, May 20.-The
'Giournal D Italia says the Imperial
German Chancellor, DR.. Won Bethman.
Hollweg, forgot to say at what time
Austria made the offers of concessions
which he announced and adds:
''The Austrian offers came after the
time fixed by Italy for the acceptance
of her demands, when the treaty with
Austria had already been denounced.
Even as announced by the German
chancellor, the Austrian offers are far
from approaching Italy's demands,
chiefly with respect to Triest, which
Italy wished to be at least absolutely
free and Independent from Austria and
that strategieal situation in the Adri-
attic, which Italy desired should be
changed to her advantage. Triest. re-
naming an Austrian town, would have
been at the mercy of the Vienna gov
ernment which could have withdrawn
her municipal autonomy at their pleas.
ure, possibly forcing Italy to fight
Austria alone.
SIT would have been better had the
German chancellor told the entire truth
and placed the Austrian offers and the
Italian demands side by side"
