HOPEFUL TODAY
Satisfaction Felt Over Decision to Form Coalition
Government News form the Eastern Front Leads
to Belief That Grand Duke Has Played Stra-
tegC Game.

LONDON, May IL, noon.-The wave Of
depression which has been sweeping Eng
land the past few days, following the re-
reipt Of war news regarded as unfavorable,
was checked today by the definite an
Douncement of the decision of the govern
ment to form coalition cabinet, together
With better news from the eastern front.
It is believed here that the Russian ad-
vance in Courland near Shawl, where the
line of the forces of Emperor Nicholas
have been Strengthened out, will do much
to counteract the effect of the Austro-
German advance in the vicinity of
Przemysl across the river San.
The military writer's in the morning pa
pers claim that only one out of II Russian
armies has been in deadly danger and that
Grand Duke Nicholas is playing his STRAIT
cgic game Of drawing the enemy away
from his base
Petrograd maintains that 40 Austrian
and German corps have been used during
the fighting of the past fortnight against
the center Of the Russian line along a front
measuring 100 miles.
Reports from Athens set forth that the
allies have occupied the Turkish position
Of Klid Bahr on the European side. The
occupation took place after the position
had been reduced by bombardment of the
fleet
On the western front the only indication
Of activity is the continuance Of artillery
duels
The Italian parliament meets today. 1t
Is felt that the momentous decision Of war
OF peace can hardly be postponed beyond
this sitting, although reports are current
that Austria has increased the concessions
IN order to insure Italian neutrality.

THE CABINET CRISIS
Did Not Keep the Ministers Informed
Regarding Supplies of Ammunition
Sent to the Front

LONDON, May 20, 800 a. m.-The
cabinet crisis according to the parlia-
mentary correspondent of the Daily
News, was precipitated by Lord Kitch-
ener s failure to keep the ministers in
formed regarding supplies of ammuni-
tion sent to the front. Huge supplies
of shells have been sent, but the pro-
portion Of shrapnel is reported to have
been greater than that Of high explo-
sives, whereas the army required a
preponderance Of high explosives. The
opposition leaders threatened a debate
to prove their accuracy.
