ITALY BRINGING
 PEACE NEARER

WASHINGTON. May 29.- One of Che best known military authorities at Washington says that peace is brought appreciably nearer by the imminent entrance Of Italy in to the world war
 This is also the opinion of otfic- ials and diplomats in Washington. They base it. first. upon the aggre- gate strength Of the combination formed against Germany Austro-Huu- gary and Turkey, and secondly upon the discouragment which is certain to prevail throughout the rank and file of those countries.
 German Offensive over7
 To continue an offensive campaign against the Allies Is regarded as an impossibiIity for the general staff in Berlin. It must pursue an aggressive defensively, with the hope that d. vision will spring up among the AL lies Only in such a contingency can Germany hope to make peace on her own terms. according to diplomatic views Otherwise it must be on the terms of the Allies
 That Germany win throw up the sponge without further fighting Is not considered for a moment. She ap- pears to be impreguable in Belgium and northern France and practically SO in Poland: Her weakness lies in Augtria and Hungary.
 New Battle In carpathians
 When the present wave of German and Ausro-Hungarian soldiers shall have spent itself in Galicia. it will recedc. accelerated by the Russian advance There will be another bat tie of the Carpathians. and the chanc- es are that it will be more successful for the allies. in view of the neces- sity the Teutonic allies win be under to defend every inch Of Austrian from tier from new enemies.
 With Italy participating in the war the Balkan states unquestionably will jump in. Go be on the side of the winner" and thereby share in the fruits of victory which for them will be European Turkey. The capture of Constantinople. it is believed. will be a comparatively easy matter.

GERMANS WANT MORE
 TIME.

Berlin, May 2e.-Germanys reply 10 the American note was handed to American ambassador James W. Ger ard today, and will reach the United States Monday. Mr. Gerard has re- fused to make stateemnt as to the contents Of the note, and the exact phraseology seems to be unsettled.
 It may be stated, however, that In substance the note will embody the proposaI to America to defer definite consideration of ecrmany's submar- inc policy until the two governments have an opportunity to establish just what kind of a vessel wac aunk when the Lusitania was sent to the bottom, and determine whether or not she was an auxiliary cruiser, armed, car ryine soldiers and munitions of war. Germany will state that the informa- ton in the possession of their govern ment and the commanders of her sub- marines sustains the contention that che answered the definitions Of var vessel, and that she was prepared to make war on that country lf oppor- tunity offered.
 Germany will admit responsibility for the torpedo attack on the Gulf light, and 1t is thought that she wlll apologize for 1t, and offer reparation.
 The German press will print the German reply Sunday.
