Cabinet Cri-i. In England.


Rumors Of dissenslons in the British
Cabinet. particularly in the Admiralty.
OF which Winston Churchill was FRS,
Lord, came to a head on May 10 when
the Pan Nal Gdsettc of London an
nouncrd that a coalition Cabinet was in
process OF formation.
The crisis was ascribed primarily to
the differences of opinion between Mr..
Churchill and Lord Fisher. who AS First
Sea Lord was supposed to be the prac-
teal man In the department. The First
Sea Lord. 1t was said. had not been con-
suited with reference to the operations
In the pardanelles. or. in all events. his
objections had been overruled. lie had
resigned In consequence.
II was admitted by Prime Minister
Asqui'h on the following day that a
coalition cabinet was contemplated and
on the 25th the appointments were an
nounced. Arthur J. Balfour. Unionist
and former Prime Minister. was selected
for Mr.. Churchill's place and A.. Bonar
Law. tnionist leader. was made Secre-
tary Of state for the Colonies. Alto
gether seven Uniorists had accepted
portfolios. Mr.. Churchill was relegated
to the ornamental post OF Chancellor
OF the Duchy OF Lancaster. a position
which he accepted without public com
plant.
In the meantime the Northclife news
papers had begun an attack upon Lord
Kitchener. Secretary for War. II was
charged that he had refused to accept
advice. that he had insisted upon send
iug the wrong kind OF shells to France,
which had cost many lives. and that
he persisted In tactics which were eff
fective in Africa and Egypt hut in
effective In Europe. The reply 20 this
attack was a universal expression Of
confidence I'm the War Secretary and con-
dc'unation for the ~ewspapers. When
the new Cabinet was announced T. was
found that David Lloyd George. who
had he II Chancellor OF the Exchequer.

German Drives Fail i'm
West. but Russians Are
Forced Back.

Y,aiys entrance into the war was
the principal event Of the month Of
May. the tenth of the European cop
nict.
After months Of negotiations 1t was
considered that the concessions offered
by Austria OF ancient Italian territory
were not sufficient or the pledges thereon
not sufficiently guaranteed. and on sun
day, May 23. the Government at Rome
issued the formal declaration which was
to throw 5000. 600 more soldiers and a
powerful navy into the struggle.
The situation then was that Germany.
Austria Hungary and Turkey were at
war with nine nations-the British t.m-
pire. France. Russia. Italy. Belgium.
Japan. Servia. Montenegro and portu-
gal. In addition II was generally
agreed that there was every indication
that within a short time there would
be added against the Teutonic and Mos
lem allies Greece. Rumania and Bull
garia.
II was throughout a month OF events
and particularly significant for the
United States. This was MOI due to the
enormous activity of the Austro-Ger-
mans in Galicia, where a Characters
tically brilliant drive swept away In
two weeks all that Russia had gained

upon Constantinople by an effective
force. but the application of the Ger
man war zone principle at sea.
To the destruction of an American
life by the sinking Of the British ship
Falaba and the attack on the American
tanker Guliight was added the Lusi-
tania. which carried down with 1t at
least ia American lives. men. women
and little children. all non-cOmbatants.
The ringing note Of President Wilson
crystallized the American sentiment on
the rights Of neutrals and brought home
to the United States the serious pos
sibilities of the future.

IL was admitted that the submarine had
acted without warning.
n wave OF Indignation swept over the
country, but with possibly one notable
exception men in public life counselled
calmness and trust in President Wilson.

Italians Win Early Battles.

Up to yesterday the preliminary night
Ing between the Austrians and the Ital-
a has been in favor of the latter.
Austrian airships raided Venice and
other .Adriatic ports on May "a but did
little damage. The Italians invaded
Austria at three points of the Friull and
Carniola frontiers by the following day
and on Thursday they were reported
swarming through the mountain passes
on both sides of the Trentino salient,
driving before them the Austrian gar
risons who had been in the forts guard
ing the entrance to the Italian Tyrol.
They were marching toward Trieste and
were within twenty-five and a half
miles OF that goal on Friday. Their air
ships had penetrated within nine miles
or that city, dropping bombs on the rail-
way station at Nabresina. At that time
the Italian and Austrian lines were al
most in contact at Gradesct and a gem
eral battle was believed to be imminent.
An Austrian submarine was sunk FRI
day In an encounter with two Italian
torpedo boats.
The action Of Italy was naturally
wildly acclaimed in London and Paris.
il was said to close the last avenue over
which Germany can hope to obtain sup
plies OF any kind. The fleets Of the Al
lies In the North Sea and Baltic have al
ready closed the doors Of the Scandi-
navian countries, but IL was known that

Austria Hungary, one II the parties
