Entrance of Italy Into War,
Followed by Rumania, Greece
and Bulgaria, Expected Here

Entrance of Italy into the European
war within a very few days, with
Rumania, Bulgaria and Greece soon to
follow. is confidently expected by gov
ernment and diplomatic officials. The
general belief is that Italys delay thus
far is because her military preparations
have not been completed. Washington
officialdom is on the hair-trigger of ex-
pectancy, with practically all taking
for granted the fact that the war fever
will spread to three other nations, and
the difference of opinion being only as
to the time and probable alignment of
the prospective belligerents
Among diplomatists of the Germanic
cause it was suggested that the opera :
tions in the Dardanelles within the
next two or three weeks proba bly,

day gave out the following:
The Norddeutsche A1lgemeine Zei-
tung, giving a history of the Italian
crisis. says that Italy's reason for par
ticipating in the war is not. as pre-
tended, because Austria Hungary at
tackled Serbia. Italy demanded COM
pensation. on the ground that the
terms of the triple alliance provided
for this in case of a change in the
balance of power in the Balkans. Aus

the italian Interpretation of the treaty
without discussion, and opened nego-
tiations with a view to compensatins
Italy, conceding several of the Italian
claims.
Italy Offered Compensations.
Suddenly, on May 4. Italy advanced
the pretense that the triple alliance
had been broken by AustroHungarian
aggression against Serbia. thus con-
tradicting her own statements. which
formed the basis for the negotiations.

Nevertheless. Baron Burian continues.

this as basis for negotiations. al
though in its opinion article VII OF tne
treaty never referred to the TERRITORY

ed purely and simply to the Balkan

Austria Makes Sacrifices.
While it was impossible to accede to
all the demands Austria-Hungary. with
q sincere desire TO reach an understand

justified by "a desire to uphold the al
lance existing for SO many years to the

the concessions offered by Austria

the war, Baron Burian says that AUS

The sweeping destruction of Death

that He exists in all and through all
1t is an eternal truth. The history of
the Christian religion shows that
somewhere In the plan of human ex-
istance there must be something more
than mere passing from life unto
death and then silence forever. Chris
tianity without reference to creed or

of Nature should not have planned the

PHILADELPHIA'S VERDICT ON
BILLY SUNDAY

1t was expected that Billy Sunday
would break all records for CONVEX
sions and free-will offerings in his
Philadelphia campaign, but some
doubted whether the city would really
be much the better for the strenuous
and prolonged ministrations of the
ball-player evangelist. At the close
of the eleven weeks of revival meet
ings we find the hackers of the CAM
paign enthusiastic over its success,
and editors, leading business men, and
