ENGLISH CABINET
 WILL BE BROADER
Asquith Announces Purpose in Commons-Lord Fish
 CT Felt Discredited.

London, May 19.-Premier Asquith announced in the house of commons today that steps were being taken which involve reconstruction of the government upon a broader personal and political basis.
 The trouble between Winston Spen- Ger Churchill, first lord of the admir- alty, and Lord Fisher, first sea lord, resulted from the British cabinet sanctioning the first naval attack on the Dardanelles in ignorance of the fact that the sea lords were opposed to naval operations unsupported by a land force. Lord Fisher felt acute ly the discredit of the sea lords thus involved and decided to resign. Faced with an acute ministerial crisis, ac- companied by angry parliamentary debates, the government resolved on a coalition with the UniOnists.
 Among the latest rumors is one to the effect that Lord Kitchener is to become generalissimo and that David will succeed him at the war office.

|ruction of British Ship Drumcree, Cardiff, Interpreted as Showing
 Iermany Proposes to Continue Undersea Warfare.

ashington, May 19.-Ambassador lrd today notified the state de- ment that the German note would be ready for at least a week. It probably be ten days, therefore, re the note is made public in bington, though it is possible that in may make it public before aches here.
 news of the sinking of the sh ship Drumcree off Cardiff, ps. by a German submarine, and unfayorable comments of the han press on the note of the Unit tates, caused a pessimistic feel here today as to the nature of the
 which Germany will make to demands Of the United States.
 e sinking of the Drumcree made |amatically evident that Germany no intention of abandoning her parine warfare against merchant pending a discussion of the is- raised by the United States.
 e tone of the German press left be minds of state department of the impression that Germany sposed to persist in her subma- warfare against merchantmen the plea of necessity, regardless e rights of neutrals under exist International law. Her excuse, purse, will be the officially as- d justification which she claims ssin British violation of interna- ] law through which she has made to suffer greatly, and D, she alleges, threatens hef very ence. The keynote of nearly all German press comments on the Fcan note is that Germany must bore concerned about the things threaten her than about the s or even the lives of neutrals. that shall be the position taken ermany in her reply to the Unit tates note, break between the countries, officials say, will be table. reful investigation of the repol ts have gone out of Washington, for ast few days, that a note to Great ln is being prepared. develops there is division among some Ae high officials of the govern on the advisa bility of sending a note.

INTERNATIONAL LINE
 MOVES TOO OFTEN
Having Authority, United States Will Attempt to Control Course
 Os Rio Grande.

Washington, May 19-The state de- partment has received an opinion from the department of justice that this government has authority to try to keep the boundary between Texas and Mexico in IS place, and steps will soon be taken to this end. | The boundary line is the Rio Grande, which is subject to attacks of wanderlust. When foods come, it frequently establishes new channels and creates islands of Mexican or Texas soil, as the case may be. It is not unusual for a Texan to find him. self and his farm in Mexico, and a Mexican to find his property on the Texas side of the stream. The ef- feet is to confuse nroperty rights and the jurisdiction of the two govern ments.
 John wesley Gaines, commissioner for the equitable distribution of the waters of the Rio Grande, recom- mended to the last congress that sur yey be made of the river and its tri- butaries. for the purpose of locating dams and reservoir sites with which to control the stream. This raised a new question of law, as to whether the government had the right to mske such a survey of non -navis- able stream. The opinion of the att torney-general is that it has such au- thority and the survey will be made. 7 The decision of the attorney-gen- eral will affect many irrigation pro- jects in the West.

Lake Mohonk, May 19.-Theodore Marburg of Baltimore, speaking at the opening of the 21st annual con- ference on international arbitration here today, said the principle of arbi- tration was not in the least affected by the present furious war in Europe.
 He said the present difficulty was due to the fact that arbitration be- tween nations was voluntary, and that if, by popular opinion, it was made obligatory, wars would cease .or, all time. It was his idea that permanent representatives should be appointed by all nations to make up a sort of international grand jury who should hale into the world court, by force, if necessary, any na- ton that refused to arbitrate it's difficulties.

 Lsss successful, or in che case at least unsuccessful, in their attacks on the Russian wings. the forces of the central empires under the com mana of General von Mackenzen are directing their efforts against the center of the Russian line along inc San. r.
 Regardless of the cost Of human JOSS, the German commanders are hurllng their thousands forward while the Russians, covering their retreat gamely, are battling to save themselve between IPrzemysl and the marshes of the Dneister.
 Center Fire on tPrzemysl.
 German guns are getting the range or the western forts aF Przemysl It IS believed the Teutons plan the re- capture of this stronghold at all hazards.
 The fighting along the eastern front is divided into four majo, on- agreements. In two of these. at aas+ along the San and along the .vistula the fighting appears to favor the arms.
 Petrograd contented itself last night with the bare statement that the fighting was proceeding furiously along the entire front and that the main object of the Austro-G Germans appeared to be in the Przemysr re- glon. The initial attempt, it is said. Of the Teutonic forces to defeat the Russlans in Galacia has failed.
 Russians Suffer Severely.
 Berlin and Vienna, however, report successes on the east bank of the San. Strong Russian forces repulsed cn the San were driven back across the LubacZowka river, Vienna states. while Berlin declares that Russian counter attacks. made in an effort to check the Austro-German advance. were repulsed with heavy losses to the Russians.
 Petrograd correspondents of Lon don newspapers and military ex- 'perts in London take gloomy view of the progress of the Russians in Western Galicia. They say it has 'undone all the results of the long Carpathian fighting and fear that still more disastrous results may come
 Germans Claim Gains
 In the western theatre of war heavy lnists and violent rains prac- tically put a halt to all activity. The French night communiqu. states that no action was fought during the day D. Berlin states that the fighting on the eastern bank of the canal north of Ypres. has developed in favor of the Germans. and that an English at- tack south of Neuve Chappel1e. in which there. had been heavy artillery preparations. was repulsed. The capture of French trenches on the v oretta heights is reported. A French attack against the southern part of Neuve Chappelle is reported to have broken down, the French los- ing heavily.
