to America"

London, May 26, 1905 D. m.---Al-
though called upon to face another
enemy in Italy, whose troops have
crossed the eastern border. the Aus
trians and Germans have not relaxed
their efforts on the other fronts.
In middle Galicia they have resumed
the offensive against the Russians
along the River san and claim to have
met with further successes; while in
Flanders and Artois the Germans con-
tinue according to the French report,
10 make furious attacks in an effort
to regain the ground taken from them
in recent weeks and to hold that which
they took from the British in the reg
ion Of Ypres.
Except for the German admission
that the British have captured part
Iof their trenches to the northeast of
|Givenchy, the reports of the belliEer-
ont headquarters continue to contradict
each other. one side claiming gains
while the other says that all attacks
were repulsed with heavy losses.
So far as the west is concerned, how.
ever. the lighting, as has been the case
for months, consists largely rf trench
warfare, in which the capture Of a
trench. few prisoners and machine guns
is considered Of sufficient Importance TO
emphasize. Rut this is the means where
ny the commanders hope 70 wear down
their opponents until thcy heconr so
weak that real forward movement VIII
be found possible.
The Italians. who have crossed tho
Austrian frontier to tho east, along a
front Of sixty miles, toward the lzonso
river have not Yet met with any serious
opposition In fact, no important battle
is expected until the invaders reach tho
river as II Is here that the Austrians are
established, and on this line, they will
make their stand. as they have had n
long time to prepare for ALI invasion. 1t
is probable they will oppose the Italian
advance by means of the same methods
as caused th" deadlock in Flanders.
In Greece tho Illness of King constan-
tine, whose condition remains serious,
has brought tho political situation to a
standstiil ard it is regarded as unlikely
that there will he any developments until
after the pending elections.
