WARSHIPS lombard
TO THE NARROWS

was cheered to-day by the publication
OF dispatch from Athens, recording a
decided advance of British and French
troops along the Galipoli peninsula.
Some reports even claimed the occupa-
tion of certain heights, which would
mean that the entire peinsula is under
control of the invaders. French and
British warships are reported to have
bombarded the forts as far up the straits
as the narrows.
operations, movements are under way.
The first, which was initiated by the
Germans, is against the British, French
and Belgian forces near ipres, while the
second is the pushing OF French troops
against the Germans to the north of
Arrss. For the moment. however. both
these attacks appear TO have been
checked
The possibility of a final Austro Ger
man victory in Galicia as the result of
the advance from Crscow is said by the
war Office at Petrogrsd TO have been
eliminated and the Russians, strongly
reinforced, are now occupying advantsg-
eous positions.
The anti-German rioting is dying down
in England, but it is reported they are
continuing with great violence in South
Africa.

The Last Finishing Touches
Were Put to 1t by
Wilson To-day
WILL BE DELIVERED
LATE TOMORROW
Some Assert That Germany
Will Accede to United
States Demands

Washington, d. G., May l3.--President
Wilson during the forenoon to-day put
the finishing touches on the note to be
despatched during the day to Germany
demanding guarantee that attacks on
merchantmen carrying -combatants
shall end and for reparation for viola
tions OF American rights in the war zone.
The note will not be made public until
after it is put in code, which probably
will be late to day, and when the docu-
ment has been started on its way to
Berlin.
Few changes are believed to have been
made in the document, the main princi-
pies as outlined to the cabinet on Tues
day being maintained. While couched
in friendly terms, it is firm. The text
of the note is eagerly awaited by Off
eial Washington.
In some quarters friendly to Germany,
the impression prevailed that the Ber-
lin government would accede TO the
American demands and state its expecta-
tion that the United States would en-
deayor to secure unrestricted passage
OF foodstuffs and conditional contra aband
consigned to the civilized population of
Germany.
The note will be dispatched by way of
Rome and Vienna and in all likelihood
may not be presented to the German
foreign Office before late tomorrow, be-
cause of the time that it will be re-
luired for deciphering it by the Amer
lean embassy staff in Berlin.

NATIONAL FOREST SUMMER HOMES
Secretary of Agriculture Promulgates
Regulations.

! Washington, d. G., May l3-The secre.
| tary of agriculture has promulgated a
| set Of regulations for administering the
new law which provides that national
forest land may be leased for summer
home sites and other recreational pur.
poses in tracts OF five acres or less for
periods not to exceed thirty years. This
law supplements the reyocable permit
system under which recreational use OF
the forest already had developed con-
siderably. Many users have been un-
willing to make substantial improve.
ments because OF the uncertainty OF ten
ure involved in the old form OF permit,
which however, is still expected to meet
not likely to occupy the land for more
than few years, or to make laborate
improvements.
The primary object of the term per-
nit" as the leases are called, is not
to obtain revenue bat to promote the
use OF national forest land for recrea-
tional purposes, say the regulations. At
the same time. since permittees receive
special benefits, il is regarded as only
fair that they should reimburse the gov
eminent for the expenditure incurred in
administering the forests. The rates
range from IS year up. in accordance
with the location OF the land, the de-
mand for il, and the use to which it
will be put. The district foresters are
authorized TO grant permits TO applicants
who intend TO make improvements cost
ing less than 81 900 and 10 use the
land for a period not longer than fifteen
years. All other permits viii be APP
proved by the forester at Washington.
Applicants must be filed with the SUI
pervisor of the forest affected, designat-
ing the location OF the land desired, the
use TO be- made of It, aud the approx
mate cost OF contemplated improvements
Examination and survey OF the land will
be made by tho forest service free of
charge, An application for hotel or
summer resort site must be accompanied
BY plans and specifications Of proposed
and statement as to their
proha Bile cost. The law stipulates five
,cres as the maximum, and It is believed
hat much less than this will suffice for
most persons, but permittees viii not
Dc placed close together except when il
5 necessitated by heavy demand for

Forest officers are instructed to pre- |
,ent monopolistie control of desirable 10. /
ations by individuals or groups and no

ubIect TO entry under the homestead |
purposes. Where provision for the needs

ng or outing grounds. open without

The regulations provide among other
hngs that permittees shall comply with
tate laws and the rules OF the depart
nent OF agriculture; that premises be

GIVEN OFFICIAL CoGINZANCE.
Attitude of American Newspapers That
Justify Lusitania Disaster.

Washington. d. c., May l3.--lt became
known last night that justice depart
mcnt officials are giving consideration to
the question of whether publications
containing matter such as editorials
seeking TO justify the sinking OF the
Lusitana and advising the repetition of
such acts can be kept out of the mails
under the provision of the penal code
making it an offense 10 circulate matter
of a character intended TO incite arson,
murder or assassination"
Some officials think the law might
be construed to apply to published
speeches of similar character.
DIR. Bernhard Dernburg's utterances
still are being given attention in high
official quarters and il is strongly inti-
mated 10 end his activity.
Ii was suggested that the German
embassy might be informed that DIR.
Dernburg. German subject, was making
himself offensive to the American gov
ernment and people.
