Rome, May II, via Paris, May 49,
The Italian Parliament will be asked
Thursday to vote on a bill containing
single clause comforting plenary
powers on the government, according
to the "Giornae D Italia. Final ac-
tion regarding war is not expected un-
til after that time unless Austria
makes the first move which is consid-
cred unlikely in view of the pacific
speeches made in the Hungarian Diet
Situation in Rome Tense
Alarmist rumors of all kinds are
being circulated in Rome and the situ-
alton is so tense there are many who
believe them all. One report to-day was
to the effect that Prince Won Buelow,
the German ambassador, already had
left the city secretly. 1t was unfounded
although a special train is kept in
readiness to carry him to Switzerland
if a break comes. Another special
stands ready to speed for the Austrian
frontier with Baron Won Nacchio. the
Austrian ambassador and his staff.
Th Cabinet council to-day was one
of the longest on record. At its close
brief communication was issued stat
ing that the ministers discussed the
statement to be made before Parlia-
ment.
King Victor Emmanuel spent the
day in granting audiences to govern
ment officials and in the consideration
of military and political quarters.
Preparing For Eventualities
The general staff continued with
feverish activity its preparations for.
.eventualities.
There were further demonstrations
of rejoicing throughout Italy at the
solution of the ministerial crisis. In
Rome a great crowd climbed the Cap

Germans LEAVE2.OOO dead
ON field NEAR User Canal

Paris, May is, 2.35 P M.-The
French war Office this afternoon issued
the following statement on the pro-
gresS of hostilities:
''0n the terrain to the west of the
User canal conquered by us yesterday
and the day before yesterday, the Ger
mans left about 1000 dead and a
great number of rifles. During the
course of the engagements of yester-
day we made some further prisoners.
To the east of the canal we have con-
solidsted the positions recently taken
by us. During the night the Germans
undertook a particularly violent coun-
ter attack, preceding this action by
bombardment with artillery and bomb
throwers. They were repulsed. :
In the region to the north of No
tire Dame De Lorette, on the road from
AiXNoulette to Souches, we checked
completely by our fire two other Ger
man counter attacks. As for ourselves
we captured as a result of a night adj
vance a group of houses near the eeme-
terry of Ablan. Along all the front to
the north of Arras the artillery fight
ing is continuing by day and by night.
The Germans have bombarded Arras
with particular ferocity.
SIN the region of Ville.Au- Bois,.
near Berry-Au-Bao, the enemy yester-
day undertook fresh attack, but he
was easily repulsed. -

Sixteen Y ear-OldMary
Louden. Who Disap-
peared Last Septem-
Der. Is Brought Home
SHE HOARDED $50
DURING ABSENCE
Justice of the Peace A. L. Brubaker,
Schoolmaster of the Fugitive,
Learns She Is On Farm in Ohio and
Returns Her to Her Parents

After an absence from her home of
eight months, during which her fam
lily knew nothing of her whereabouts,
l6-yearold Mary Louden, daughter of
Alfred j. Louden, who lives on farm
near Meehanicsburg, was yesterday
morning returned to her parents by
her former school teacher, \. l.. Bru-
baker. Through some means which he
has not revealed. Mr.. Brubaker, who is
Iustic of the peace, and neighbor
and intimate friend of the girl : par
ents. learned of the runaway's where
abouts and then went and persuaded
her TO return home. He found her EN-
ploved on farm near Oberlin. Ohio,
twenty-five miles from Cleveland
During the eight months from the
time she ran away from her home un-
til she returned yesterday. Mary work.
Ell nnustrlously and practiced strict
economy, for out of salaries of 50 and
$3.50 week she saved total of fifty
dollars. She returned home with this
amount of money and the same clothes
she had when she ran away, having
bought no new garments throughout
the period
Mary suddenly disappeared from her
home on farm in Silver Spring town
ship, several miles from Mechanics
burg. She took with her pink dress.
a green dress with black trimmings
and light crowned hat These were
still the principal articles in her ward
robe on her return yesterday
According to her account, Mary
went into Ohio, as far as her funds
would permit, and got employment on
farms in the vicinity of 0berlin, where
she was found few days ago. Her
wages were two dollars Ia two and a
half week, with board AND logging
and she boarded practically all the
money she received.
During her absence, the girl seems to
have had no desire to return home, for
she kept her whereabouts from her
parents. They. however. had not given
up hopes of finding her and were con-
stantly looking for some word concern
ing her. When Justice of the Peace
Brubaker learned where the girl was
living, by means of Investigations
which he carried on his own account. he
promptly went there and confronted
her. The girl evidenced surprise at
seeing her school teacher, but after
some persuasion agreed TO accompany
him TO her home.
On her return. she expressed neither
delight nor regret. and would give no
account of her motives in attempting
to shift for herself. Her parents were
overloyei TO see her again, as were
her sister and two brothers.

Official statement contained in n dis
patch from Pctrograd to the Reuter-
Telegram Company.
The AuSirians are reported to have
abandoned 10000 prisoners in their
flight and important positions organized
on front of 40 versts (93 miles,.
The Russians claim to have occupied
Czernowita and that the remnants of
the Austrian army retrcatiug in the
direction of the Pruth are in danger of
disaster, The Reuter- dispatch says:
Abandoned Important Positions
The Russian official statement de-
scrihes the Austrian debaele in Buko-
wilma as of such vast Importance as to
render nugatory their ephemeral success
in West Galicia. The latest particulars
represent that the entire region between
the Dniester and the Pruth is in Rus
sian hands as the result of the brilliant
victory, while the Austrans, utterly de-
feated, are in disorderly flight. They
have abandoned 0,000 prisoners and
important, powerfully organized posi-
tions on a front OF 140 versts for the
defense Of which they made tremendous
sacrifices in money and lives.
Everything tends to prove that as
a consequence of this victory Czeruo-
witt already is in the possession of the
Russians, while the remnants of the
Austrian army flying in the direction of
the Pruth are in dangeT of disaster
which seems inevitable because of the
fierce action of our cavalry which fell
upon the retreating enemy in full di-
visions, destroying him and ineessantly
augmenting the number of our trophies.

most of the French impressionists, and
the third is by Zuloaga, one of the
greatest Spanish painters of today.
There are few who have exerted as
wide and powerful an influence as
Manet. Influenced himself undoubted-
ly by Goya and the greater Spaniard.
Velasquez, he so simplified expression
that he almost invented new art
Instead of delicately modelling sur
faces and rendering colors in gently
modulated tones he made use of fiat un-
broken planes and brought these to-
gether with violent contrasts. AS

said, with his bolu VISION and uncer-
tain craftsmanship he placed before
our eyes new images which prepared

an innovator. His impressionism had
nothing to do with experimentation in

Sisley and Pissaro followed simply pc
cause the old line of thought had been
jolted off the track and hence became
active and inquisitive. He was true
impressionist, his purpose being TO
render not the detail of fact but the
truth of broad. sweeping impression.
He reduced his equations to their low
est terms and presented them thus to
an astonished public. Some may still
think that he sacrificed too much to
this end, but none can deny the tre-
mendous force of his expression.
One of the paintings loaned by Mrs.
Vanderbilt is a portrait of Rouviere in
the role of Hamlet. typical and very
notable example. 1t is a large canvas

customed to imagine him, but II is a

Manet painted this picture in 1866, the
same year that he painted the portrait

~ ECENT attack by Turkish troops
IO on British soldiers guarding
I'm the Suez canal apparently
q - marks the elimination of a
series of events begun nearly two
months ago, when it was declared the
intention of the Ottoman authorities
to take advantage of the war in Eu-
rope in order to invade Egypt at what
was considered its most vulnerable
point
Such an expedition if successful, it
was declared, would not only serve as
a diversion to attract attention from
military operations being carried out
by Great Britain on the European con-
tinent, but might even seriously cripple
the power of that country by cutting
her line of communication between the
east and west
Even ar unsuccessful attack. it was
explained, might inspire foreign resi-
dents of northern Egypt with fear of a.
'holy war" and spread terror among
the people who had thrown in their al
legiance with the British.
