Demonstrations Throughout
the Nation Menace Adj
vocates Of Neutrality
ALLIES SAID TO HOLD
COAST OF GALLIPOLI
Heavy Re-enforcements of
Troops Have Been Landed
Under Cover Of Warships

London, May l5.-Popular feeling is
running so high in Italy that the gov
eminent is finding difficulty in protecting
the persons OF those Italians who are
known to be advocates of policy OF
neutrality. 1t is significant that the
attitude of the authorities has changed
within the past few days. Whereas, up
to week ago they were preventing
by force even the mildest of demonstra-
tons on behalf of the allies, they are
now allowing, either willingly or UNI
willingly, manifestations of a wide
spread nature, not only in Rome, but
throughout the entire country. 1t is
hardly to be conceived that if policy
of peace had been steadfastly and firmly
decided upon that such demonstrations
would have been permitted to go un-
checked. The news of the resignation
of the cabinet, confirmed in dispatches
from Rome yesterday, is variously inter
preted. AS yet, the king has not acted
in the matter, and the course he will
pursue has not been made clear. 1t is
probable that very grave situation has
arisen, and the Italian government
wishes to be absolutely certain of uni
fed support by the Italian nation in
ease eventualities result.

NOT HAS ONLY SLIGHT
EFFECT ON MARKET
Little Drop at Opening, but an Unset
tied Condition Prevails Later
in the Entire List.

New York May l5.--Prcsident Will
sons note to Germany overshadowed
all other considerations and develop
ments in the stock market yesterday. At
the outset prices yielded only slightly,
except in the so-called war shares and
and similar specialtes, which declined
point. Later, however, the entire
list became unsSttled, standard railways
as well as other dividend paying stocks
losing one to two points. Union Pacific,
Reading, United States Steel and Anal
gamated copper, which constitute the
most active speculative favorites, were
freely offered during the first half hour
but seemed to be confidently taken. Ev-
ldence of the banking support which
checked the severe decline of the early
week was seen from time to time. The
short interest was fairly active in effect
ing initial declines, but selling for this
account was not especially aggressive.
As the session progressed war shares
to weaken, Bethlehem steel and
New York air brake losing 8 to almost
8 points. Motor stocks were cores
pondingly lower, but representative is
sue held at their quotations of the first
half hour, with here and there sub
stantial rally. The decline was with
out any of the sensational features
which attended the movement OF a week
ago, when the market collapsed on news
Of the sinking of the Lusitania. A can
vass of the leading banking and broker
age houses showed a general belief that
Berlin would receive the presidents COM
in a conciliatory spirit. Sales
in the first hour amounted to 10000
shares.
The market became decidedly more ac-
tive during the noon hour, altogether at
The expense of quoted values. All the
leaders made lower prices. Steel de-
lining to SOS, loss of 23s points. Nu-
nerous specialtes were lower by 3 to
points.

day-Best Speed Is but IS Knots.

New York, May l5.--lf the Anchor
line steamship Transylvania equals her
record time ON her present trip across
the ocean, she should enter the German
war zone some time late to-day, and If
she passes through 4 safely, should dock

Anchor line officials and was made pub
tic because Of many inquiries regarding
the whereabouts Of the vessel.
The Transylvania's best record, be-
tween New York and Liverpool, is eight
DAYS and nine hours, her maximum speed
being only 1874 knots. The Transylyania
cleared the bar at Sandy Hook, az atl0
p. m. Friday. MAY !. n she maintains
her best speed, she should arrive in the
vicinity where the Lusitania was torpe-
doed on the coast Of ireland. at around
O'Clock this afternoon. and dock in
Liverpool a. 8 a. m. Sunday.
The Anchor line officials anticipated,
however. that the ship would probably
arrive at a later hour. inssmuch a. only
with the most favorable weather condi-
tions could she maintain her maximum
speed.
lnquirers at the American line were
told that the steamship Philadelphia.

runs high, especially among some of the
former members of the crews of the
German steamers Neckar and Rhein,

in the bad graces of the Americans.

London, May l5.--The recent Russian
retreat in the Carpa thans, attributed to
the overwhelming numbers of the Ger
mans by the Petrograd correspondent of
The Times, who says that the Russians
were outnumbered three to one, has halt
ed. The correspondent adds that the
counter stroke now developing from the
direction of Bukovina may be expected
to divert the enemy. simultaneously
strategical reserves are being thrown
into the front of western Galicia and
the Russians will soon begin to press
strongly the Teutons.
The Russians again hold their pre-
vious positions at the Uzsok pass and
in the Javornk range and are approach
ing the passes of the southern Carpath
ians.
Material success has been won in
Bukovina and the cars forces are now
advancing on Czernovitz and Kolomea.

wing of the Austro-G German forces on
the Dnester continues successfully, while
according to Petrograd, the German as
sault in western Galicia has been beaten
back westward from Mezo Laborcz.
As to the fortunes of battle in the lat
ter district the reports from Vienna and
Petrograd are in direct conflict. The
Vienna statement of Thursday declares
that General Korniloff and his staff sur
rendered with the entire 4sth division to
General MaclSensen. A later unofficial
report from Petrograd said General Kor-
niloff's division had made heroic stand
and by successful counter attack had
turned the Germans back. This feat OF
Kornloff's division, il was stated, had
been responsible for the failure of the
plans of Mackensen to force the Rus
slams back of the San river, so that the
general staff could relieve the western
front by large numbers from the east
at the end of May.
General Mackensen's front has been
greatly heightened and weakened, accord
ing to correspondents. Along the Wislok
the Russians have engaged the Germans
in heavy trench fighting.
The Austrian statement on the other
hand claims sweeping victories, and says
that between May and May II the
Germans captured $4,000 Russians, 100
and $50 machine guns. Accord
ing to Vienna, the Carpathians have
been cleared of Russians and
the Austro- German forces are nearing
Pzremysl, the Russian third and eighth
armies being beaten to humiliation.
Petrograd records German attacks mi
the region Of Shawl, Courland, and says
5hey have been repulsed.

FIRM SUPPORT
FOR PRESIDENT
Prominent Delegates to World Congress
Read Note with Grave Concern, but
Declare Their Patriotism.

Cleveland, Ohio, May l5.-Prominent
delegates to the world court congress
read President Wilson's note to Ger.
many with grave concern yesterday. All
agreed that whatever contingency arises
the government will receive the firm sup.
port of the nation.
"The American public will stand back
of the government in any exigency which
may arise" said John Hays Hammond,
chairman of the congress.
I'm the present situation, the solid
support of America is at the command
of President Wilson, and leaders in So
cal and economic life undoubtedly will
be glad to lend him the support of their
patriotic and helpful counsel.
81 have no doubt, in the absence of
Congress, the president is enlisting the
counsel of men experienced in interna-
tional affairs and representing all par
ties and sentiments"
Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassa-
dor to Mexico, said: "The note to Ger
many is an exceIlently worded state doc
uIHtut. AmeIlcdHS RtHtIdHy uSslTo
peace, but not at sacrifice of honor
and dignity, and the note seems to ex-
press this attitude"
IF the situation develops to that
point where it is impossible to avoid
conflict, the American people will stand
solidly behind the government. In such
an event, ancestry, religion, and politics
will have, in my opinion, absolutely no
influence on the attitude of our citizen
ry, hyphenated' or otherwise"
DR.. John Wesley Hill of New York
said: st is to be hoped that this crisis
will be passed without serious break
in the long standing friendship existing
between Germany and the United States.
"Self-respect and national honor, how
ever, arise above all other considera-
tons, and as President Wilson asserts
and defends them, he is assured of the
sympathy and support of the American
people"
The world court congress yesterday
entered on the third and last day of its
session. DIR. Albert Shaw, DR.. Harry A. |
