OPPOSING FACTIONS
WILL BE REPRESENTED
New Cabinet in Italy Will Have
Representation From All
Parties
ALLIANCE IS DENOUNCED
Armies in East and West Are Not
Making Much Headway
at Present
ALLIANCE IS DENOUNCED

Giuseppe Marcora, a Garibaldi vet
eran, is to form the new cabinet to
guide Italy through the present crisis.
II is believed in Rome that he will be
able to assemble a cabinet in which
the opposing factions will be repre-
Sented. He is said to have received
the support of the retiring premier,
Signor Salandra, who insisted upon
quitting Office Notwithstanding the de-
sire of the king to retain him.
It is reported in London that Italy
has denounced her alliance with Ger
many and Austria a week ago and
news of final break is expected there.
Internal agitation continues in Italy.
In both the east and west the on
posing armies apparently are unable to
make great headway at present, al
though severe fighting continues. The
French offensive north of ArTaS has
made little further progress. The one
important change reported is the shat
tering of the Austrian line near the
Bukowina frontier. This Russian
claim, however, has not been con-
firmed from German or Austrian
sources. The Austro German sweep
from Cracow region eastward through
GaI1cia is said to have been checked.
although Petrograd admits the west
ern half of GaIicia has been wrested
from the Russians
AntiGerman riots in South Africa
have brought Lbout a serious condi-
tlon of affairs. In many of the impor.
tant cities of the Union of South Africa
shops, store houses and hotels owned
by Germans or Austrians have been
burned or sacked. Premier Botha has
appealed for order, but the police and
soldiers find it difficult to control the
crowds. The property damage is heavy.

RESERVOIR ENTRANCE
IN SERVICE MAY g
Finishing Touches Being Added to
Great Curve Driveway Via
Market and 21st
COMPLETING PARKWAYBRIDGE
Travel in Cameron Woodland Will
Be Made Less Dangerous by
Opening of New Structure

Both the new formal entrance to
Reservoir via Twenty-first and Market
streets. and the concrete bridge across
Spring creek in Cameron parkway will
be formally opened for pleasure traf-
fic by a week from tomorrow.
Announcement to this effect was
made to-day by City Commissioner NJ.
Harvey Taylor superintendent of
parks. as the finishing touches are
now being added to both big park i'm
provement jobs.
Monday morning the steam rollers
will be put to work on the new Reser-
voir entrance and the minor finishing
touches will be added during the week
so that autoists and other tourists can
have access to the city's splendid park
via the winding driveway The open
ing of the new entrance will mean a
perceptible diminishing of traffic on
the present entrance at Walnut and
Whitehall streets and in time it is
quite likely that this entrance will be
done away with. altogether. The park
ing of the plaza inside the parkway
will be finished in a week or So
The bridge across Spring creek is
ready except the arches and the fin
ishing touches to the ratings, etc.
When this is finished travel over the
parkway will be very much easier
as the dangerous curve in the road
way will be practically eliminated.

SENATOR BE|DLEMAN
SAVES LIBRARY BILL
Gets ImpOrtsnt Third Class City
Measure Through Senate
After Defeat

Senator Beidleman has greatly
pleased the friends of public libraries
In pennsylvania, and especially in
Harrisburg and other cities of the
third class, by saving the measure in
troduced by Senator Snyder, of Schuyl-
kill, which gives city councils author
ity to make appropriations for the sup
port of such institutions. Friends of
the measure were greatly dismayed
when they heard that it had died in a
committee of the Senate, but on in
vestigation it was found that Senator
Beidleman had gone to the rescue
when the bill was down and out.
After passing through the regular
stages in the Senate the measure was
defeated on final passage. State Lii
trustees of the Harrisburg Library,
when they learned of the fate, inter-
viewed Senator Beidleman, who sue
ceeded in getting unanimous consent
for the reconsideration of the vote by
which the bill was defeated, the time
within which such a motion could be
made under the rules having elapsed.
Having thus restored the bill to life
it was placed upon the postponed
calendar and on last Wednesday was
called up by Senator Snyder and pass
ed finally, Senator Beidleman leading
the supporters of the measure on the
final vote.
The bill is now on second reading in
the House and the trustees of the
Harrisburg Public Library and all
other libraries hope that it will go to
the Governor next week. They are
grateful to Senator Beidleman for his
timely aid in the resurrection of the
measure.

DERNBURC PLANS TO
LEAVE j. S.;FR|ENDS
URGE HIS DEPARTURE
Unofficial Spokesman of Kaiser
Will Probably Go to Cuba or
South America
SPEECHES WERE DlSPLEASING
Activity in This Country Closely
Observed by Wilson and
Cabinet
By associated Press

Washington, May 15.-Dr. Bern
hard Dernburg, often referred to as
the unofficial spokesman of Emperor
William in the United States, has
made plans to leave the country on his
own initiative within a short time.
1t became known in official quar-
ters here to-day that in view of the
intimations that President Wilson and
the cabinet were displeased with DIR.
Dernburg's speeches justifying the
sinking of the Lusitania and some of
his other public utterances, which
they believed might be calculated to
array sentiment of Germans in the
United States against the Washington
Government, friends of DIR. Dernburg
here have persuaded sim to leave the
United States.
Just when DR. Dernburg would
leave or where he would go was not
made known, but it was believed he
would sail for Cuba or South Amer
lea.
Watched by Wilson
Dr. Dern nburg's activity in the United
States since the beginning of the war,
has been closely observed by the
President and other high officials here
who came to believe in the last week
that a continuation of his speeches
and statements might in the event of
q critical turn in relations with Ger
many. menace the democratic welfare
of America. 1t has been repeatedly
denied by the German embassy as
well as by DIR. Dernburg, himself, that
he was spokesman for the German
Government or that he had any Of
hcial status. In view. however, of the
fact that DR.. Dernburg was formerly
colonial secretary in the German for
eign office and has become promi-
nently active in behalf of the German
Acause since the outbreak of the war.
officials here believe that German
Americans attach official weight to his
utteranceS.
DR.. Dernburg himself issued a state
ment last night declaring he had never
discussed matters that had arisen dip
lomatically between the United States
and Germany. Officials here made
no comment on that point beyond
pointing to DR.. Dernburg's utterances
in Cleveland and New York recently.
seeking to justify the attack on the
Lusitania.
Dernburg Expressed Wish
AT the German embassy it was
learned that DIR. Dernburg had ex-
pressed the wish himself to leave the
country. Embassy officials made it
very plain that the action was volun-
tary on his part. The question of his
departure depends upon securing as
Surances from the British and French.

blegram from Ambassador Gerard, in
Berlin, sent at o'clock last night and
reaching the State Department early

not then received the American note.

from there yesterday afternoon on the
Italian telegraph lines, officials felt
assured that it surely would reach Am

Secretary Bryan sent two messages
to Ambassador Gerard after the note

one notifying him that 1t had been sent
and another advising him that it had
been arranged to release it for pub
lication for . a. m. Friday and there
fore to present it to the German for
eign office as early as possible. Am
bassador Gerard acknowledged both.
Interest continued to-day in official
Washington and diplomatic circles as
to the probable nature of Germany's
reply, but neither the embassy nor the
State Department had any intimation
as to the feeling in Berlin. Among
ell-informed diplomats as we'll as

settlement through diplomacy.

Germany would suspend submarine

prevent contraband from reaching it's
destination.
Another suggestion which was re-
garded as not unlikely to be made by
Germany was that the belligerents give
assurances that no contraband be car
ried on passenger ships. Although the
United States has asserted the right of
neutrals to travel anywhere on the
high seas, even on ships carrying con-
traband. insisting that the right OF
visit and search be exercised in ac-
