PROBE COMMITTEE MUST GET ITS SPAY
Martin So Holds, Although Appropriation for Pur-
 pose Is Exhausted

Montgomery, May 17.-tSpecial.) ) Although the appropriation Of $50, ,OO0 for expenses of the legislature has oeen exhausted State Auditor M. c. Allgood must issue warrants for salaries and expenses of the. legislative recess com mittees according to a ruling of At torney General William L. Martin. The attorney general held that warrants must be issued on any funds not other wise appropriated.
 Attorney General Martin was asked for an opinion following the refusal last Saturday of J. H. Chapman. war iant clerk of the auditors department. to issue warrants for salaries of the committee members. This action was taken because the appropriation for the expense of the legislature had peen exhausted. Mr. Chapman has since is- sued the warrants on the authority of the attorney general
 About S45.000 was used in paying the expenses of the recent legislative ses- sion and approximately s5000 has been used in paying the expenses and sal aries of the recess committees.

French Eyewitness Tells of
 Attack On Neuville St. Vadst

Paris May l7-G0 D. m)-The official "eyewitness" with the French army gives this description of the attack on Neuyiie St Vast:
 From 6 to 10 O clock in the morning of May 9, the artillery prepared for the infantry attack with thousands of pro- ieetiles. Nearly every one of these going home. the enemy was demoralzed. At 10 clock, according to the pre-arrange- ment our infantry massed in the rear, leaped from the trenches. Barbed wire protecting the enemys works, had been annihilated by our fire. The men rushed to the crest of the hill, separating from La Targette without flinehing, under a heavy rifle and machine gun fire.
 "The Germans, astonished at our as- sault, seemed nailed to the spot, and when the two forces came into contact only those machine guns which were in protected positions continued to fire. They were unable, however to check the ad- vance of our men, who reached the houses in La Targette There, hand to hand fighting ensued. and our advance was somewhat stayed but the town was soon surrounded. Fighting their way sthe French troops finally reached the first houses of Neuville.
 At the same time our attacking forces on the center, battling with the same spirit crossed the road to Bethune. Among the tombs in the cemetery a desperate engagement ensued. This territory was twice taken and twice lost, but We held { ftl, ,Inf,t,t si five lines of trenches, and then digging

ITALY HAS DECIDED ID ENTER THE WAR
 SAYS NEWSPAPER
The Giornale D'Italia Prints Significant Article on In- ternational Crisis-Ac-
 tion Virtually Decided

Rome May 17.-7;40 D. m. via Paris, May IS, 1:2o a. m)-The Giornale D'Italia, which has been a strong sup porter of the Salandra cabinet and which was among the first to advocate military preparation, publishes a sig nificant article today
 War" says the paper, lis virtually declared by concord of the King. the government and the nation. The won- derful secret dream which for half a century has strengthened Italy in It's long wait is about to be transformed into radiant reality
 'Ttaly is about to engage not only h a war to liberate the remainder of tine Italian provinces under foreign rule but in a war for civilization"
 The Giornale D'Italia usges union of all parties and the cessation of all conflicting passions
 "When war broke out. it adds, Ser lin and Vienna were the scenes of saw age attempts against the diplomatic representatives and the subjects of the countries against which Germany and Austria had declared war. These were Nt1t- idHiltu dtillOi tACtSStS Oi all hysterica1 minority Instead they were the first manifestations of methods V hich later developed into a most atro- cious war throughout Belgium and France and on the seas.
 Nothing of the kind must happen in Italy. The motto must be no violence against foreigners. even if they are enemies. Hospitality being the most sacred duty of civilized people, respect for diplomatic immunity Is one of the highest forms of political civilization"
 Alluding to the imminent departure of Prince Won Buelow, the German ambassador and Baron Non Maehio. the Austrian ambassador, the paper cites the Italian proverb. "For the fly ing enemy build golden bridge"
 Throughout the day. the Chamber of Deputies was crowded with members, many of whom had hastened to Rome in their anxiety regarding the crisis and the imminent decision of the eabi net. Outside the chamber great crowds gathered. most of whom voiced their opinion that further delay on the part of the government would be disagva-nta geous. as it would give time for the completion of preparations by Austria and Germany.
 There was active exchange of cipher telegrams today between the Austrian and German embassies and Vienna and Berlin

in All this took place within two and one-half hours.
 While the men stopped to breathe the artillery came up in the rear and opened on the enemy.
 Leave Dead Everywhere
 There were German dead everywhere in the trenches. and while the infantry was finishing the destructive work of the artillery, piles of dead were gathered and buried.
 Tn the succeeding days our effort was directed at conquering Neuvile. Here the large, deep cellars of the houses were not sufficient for the enemys fortifi- cations; they covered the top of the eel lars with material three feet thick and dug new shelSsTs in the cellars them selves. strongly protected, to which they fled during the bombardment. From one end of the village to the other these eel lars were connected by underground passages through which the Ger mans circulated, rising up like wood chucks, here and there where least ex- pected
 Every house was armed with machine guns in these reinforced shelters, but in the face of these defenses. from Mon day to Friday our infantry continued the assault without cessation. On Saturday at nightfall we held the grater part of the village. During the night of May Il, violent counter attacks occurred east of the village. Our troops allowed the Germans to advance to wrtn- in 20 yards of their trenches. and then, with machine guns and rifles. moved down the first line. Then the infantry, leaping out of the cemetery in pitch dark ness, threw themselves upon the remain ing force of the enemy, and those who | were not bayoneted were brought in | prisoners

EXPECT GERMANY TO ANSWER AMERICAN
 NOTE IN FEW DAYS
tcontinued from Page one,

being used in the direction of assist ing in a peaceful settlement. Neither the German nor the Austrian ampas- sador is informed yet as to the policy the German government finally will follow. That Count Won Bernstorfi is endes voring to secure the adoption of a rolicy by his government which will satisfy public opinion in Germany with reference to the continued use of the submarine as commerce destroyer and still meet the American appeal for humane treatment of passengers and crews of belligerent vessels is the prevalent belief in many quarters.
 The general expectation here is that Germany will reterate her willing ness to abandon her present submarine warfare on merchant ships and follow the maritime prize laws if neutrals will influence the allies to permit the shipment of foodstuffs to civilians ir pel,igerent territory.
 May Send Protest
 In this connection there has been some consideration given in official quarters here to the advisability of sending a note of protest to Great Britain against the actual operations of it's fleet In enforcing the blockade of commerce with Germany:
 While the United States recognized the right of the allies to maintain an effective blockade off the German coast. 1t never has admitted their right to interrupt trade with neutral ooun- tries unless it is proved to be of | contraband character with an ultimate enemy destination Many noncontra- hand cargoes bound for neutrals are said to have been detained and the sending of an emphatic note to Great Britain on the subject in the near fu- ture would not be surprising, accord ing to well informed opinion tonight
 As for questions raised in the Amer ioan note which Germany is under stood to be willing to arbitrate, oft cials here say the American govern nent will not be satisfied with less than an acceptance of the principles of humanity and legality set forth ill it's note
 mat Germany may question tho right of neutrals aboard belligerent vessels carrying contraband and offer to arbitrate it. is anticipated here. This Idea already has been rejected in high oflcial quarters because of the con 'lction that the American position is indisputable under the laws of nations and there is nothing to arbitrate.
