NOBS DEMAND WAR
RIOTS IN ROME AND OTHER
CITIES THREATEN REVOLT
FINAL SESSION OF CABINET.
MARTIAL LAW AT CAPITAL
Premier Salanera, Favorlng Hostill-
ties, Resigned But King Refused to
Accept His Rssignation-War With
Germany and Austria Near.

Rome, May IA council of minis
ters called by Premier Salandra held
a session, and a decision relative to
the present crisis is expected.
NoWs that King Victor Emmanuel
will rot accept Premier Salandra's res
ignation and that Salandra and Baron
Sonnino, the foreign minister, will re-
main in power is spreading like Wild
fire throughout Rome and is creating
an excellent impression.
This followed day of rioting which
assumed almost a revolutionary char
acter. The entire city on Friday was
occupied by the N Ijlitary.
Dispatches frpD Milan say that Sc
rious rioting has broken out in that
city over the present political situa-
ton.
The adherepts of the opposing polit-
ical factions have resorted to the use
of firearms, and the situation is de-
scribed as most grave.
A riotous crowd in Rome made its
way in the morning to the Piazza
Montecitorio, where is located the
chamber of deputies, and forced en-
trance into the building by smashing
the windows.
The moment the news of the cab
inets resignation became known popu
lar indignation began to show itself
A large crowd started rushing through
the city, and there were frequent con
fiicts between groups holding opposing
political opinions. The police made
strenuous efforts to maintain order
but were not sufficiently strong, and
troops had TO be called out.
Dispatches received here from al
parts of Italy set forth that the receipt
of the news of the resignation of the
cabinet produced an extraordinary
sensation. At Genoa, Florence, Ma
pies, Palermo and elsewhere its re
ceipt was followed by demonstrations
Observers in Rome deduce from the
occurrences that large majority o.
the people are in favor of a policy o.
hostility against Austria.
A crowd which favored <Italy's inter
vention went at night to the hotel al
which Gabrielle d'Annunzio is stopping
and cheered until the poet appeared
on a balcony and spoke fervently il
favor of war. From D'Annunzio's hote
the crowd went to the palace of Dowa
ger Queen Margherita and acclaimed
her wildly.

pledge of future security for neutrals

to seize the opportunity afforded by
the note to disavoW its intention to
sink the Lusitania

Leader in 1910.

dore Roosevelt, and not William
Barnes, was Republican boss" of the

Barnes rebuttal in his $4,000 libel
suit against the former president.

by Barnes, said Roosevelt was the

FEATURES OF PROTEST
TO GERMANY

'The sinking of the British pas
senger steamer Falaba,
through which Leon c. Thrasher,
an American citizen, was drowned;
the attack on April 2S on the Amer
lean vessel Gushing by a German
aeroplane; the torpedoing on May
l of the American vessel Gulfiight
by a German submarine, I
and, finally, the topedoing and sink
ing of the steamship Lusitania, con-
stitute a series Of eN ent9 which the
Government of the United States
has observed with growing concern,
distress and amazement.
The Government of the United
States was 10th to believe-it can
not now bring itself to believe
that these acts, so absolutely con-
trary to the rules, the practices
and the spirit of modern warfare,
could have the countenance or sane
ton Of that (the Germany Govern
ment.
This government must
hold the Imperial German Govern
ment to a strict accountability for
any infringement of those rights,
intentional or incidental.
Submarines can not be used
against merchantmen, as the last
few weeks have shown, without an
inevitable violation of many sacred
principles of justice and humanity.
mo warning that an unlawful
and inhumane act will be commit
ted can possibly be accepted as an
excuse or palliation for that act,
or as an abatement of the RESPONSE
bility for its commission"
American citizens act within
their indisputable rights in taking
their ships and in travelling wher-
ever their legitimate business calls
them upon the high seas"
This Government takes it for
granted that within the possibili-
ties of every such case, the COM
manders even of submarines were
expected to do nothing that would
involve the lives of noncombatants
or the safety of neutral ships, even
at the cost of failing of their object
of capture or destruction. 1t con-
fidently expects, therefore, that
the Imperial Government will dis
avow the acts of which the Govern
ment Of the United States COM
plain; that they will make repara-
ton so far as possible for injuries
which are without measure, and
tina. they will take immediate steps
to prevent the recurrence of any
thing so obviously sub%ersive of
the principles of warfare for which
the Imperial German Government
has in the past so wisely and Sc
firmly contended."
Expressions Of regret and offers
Of reparation in case of the destruc
ton of neutral ships sunk by mis-
take, while they may satisfy inter
national obligations, if no loss O.
life results, can not justify or ex
cuse a practice, the natural ant
necessary effect of which is to sub
| ject neutral nations and neutra
persons to new and immeasurabl
risks"
The Imperial German Govern
ment will not expect the Govern
ment Of the United States to omi
any word or any act necessary t
the performance of its sacred dut
of maintaining the rights of tn
United States and its citizens an
of safeguarding their exercise an

FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES

The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1915-05-20

present method of attack against the
trade of their enemies lies in the prac-
tical impossibility of employing sub
marines in the destruction of COM
merce without regarding those rules
of fairness, reason, justice and human
ity, which all modern opinion regards
as imperative 1t practically is inn
possible for the officers of a subma-
rine to visit a merchantmen at sea
and examine her papers and {, cargo.
1t practically is impossible for them
to make a prize of her; and if they
can not put a prize crew on board OF
her, they can not sink her without
leaving her crew and all on board Of
her to the mercy of the sea in her
small boats. These facts, it is under
stood, the Imperial German Govern
ment frankly admit. We are inform
ed that in the instance of which we
have spoken time enough for even that
poor measure of safety was not given
and in at least two of the cases cited
not so much as a warning was re-
ceived.
Inevitable Violation of Justice Is Seen
Manifestly, submarines can not be
used against merchantmen, as the last
few weeks have shown, without an in
evitable violation of many sacred prin
ciples of justice and humanity. Amer
lean citizens act within their indis
putable rights in taking their shipi
and in travelling wherever their legit
innate business calls them upon thu
high seas and exercise those rights
in what should be the well justified
confidence that their lives will not b.
endangered by acts done in clear vic
lation of universally acknowledged in
ternational obligation and certainly IL
the confidence that their own Govern
ment will sustain them in the eXer
else of their rights. There recent.
was published in the newspapers o
the United States, we regret to inform
the Imperial German Government,
formal warning, purporting to com
from the Imperial Germany Embass,

pie of the United States and stating
