RUSS DRIVEN TO PEREMYSL
Vienna Denies Petrograd Claims OF
Victories in Eastern
GaIicia.

London, May 1S.-Admission by
Petrograd that a great battle near
Peremysl has forced the Russian cen
ter back upon the fortress, and official
denial of Russian claims of great
victory in Eastern Galicia constitute
the chief developments in the east
ern theater of war. The Austrian war
office, denying claims of a Russian vic
tory, added that the Austrans had
hurled back charges north of Kolomea
and had captured a Russian point of
support. Petrograd dispatches tell of
the battle near Peremysl and assert
that only the center is falling back,
while the most vigorous German at
lacks have failed to make any impress
sion on the lines north of the fortress.
Austrian statements place the Russian
losses in the retreat from the Dona-
jec to the San river at 100000.

BY FREDERICK WERNER.

International News Service Correspondent.
Berlin (via Amsterdam), May 49,
President Wilson's note Is being care
ment. 1t is regarded as a friendly
message and will be answered in a
friendly spirit.
May Open Way to Peace.
The general impression, however Is
that Germany will refuse to abandon
her submarine warfare unless Great
Britain abandons the policy which
aims ct starving Germany's civilian
population. This may open the way
to further negotiations with the Unit
cd States as intermediary between
Germany and England.
1t is expected that the reply to the
American note will be sent Wednesday
or Thursday Of this week. A prelimi-
nary draft probably will be submitted
to council on Tuesday.
To Bar Arbitration.
Washington, May IS. - Official
Washington believes the German gov
eminent will offer to submit the ques-
tons at issue between the countries
to arbitration, but the impression Is
growing stronger that such proposal
will not meet the approval Of Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisers.
The belief is general among officials
and diplomats that Germany will not
agree to cease her submarine warfare
against noncombatants and will urge
that a country too proud to fight"
should find way to prevent the fur
nishing of arms and ammunition to
her enemies by means of passenger
ships. The practice, Germany is ex-
pected to declare, is immoral and
should be stopped at once.
U. s. to Oppose Arbitration.
The belief that a suggestion Of ar
bitration will be opposed by this gov
eminent is based on the attitude taken
by President Wilson in the discussion
Of the sinking by the German raider
Prinz Eitel Friedrich Of the Ameri-
can sailing ship William P. Frye.
Then it was stated that this ques-
ton was not one for prize courts, as
suggested by Germany, but for diplo-
matte consideration.

CELEBRATE AT ROME
POLICE FAIL TO STOP DEMON.
STRATlON AT CAPITAL.
Crowds Act az Though War Had Been
Declared-To Decide Question
Thursday.

Rome, via Paris, May 1S.-The Gior
male D'Italia, which has been a strong
| supporter of the Salandra cabinet ant
was among the first to advocate mill
tary preparation, publishes a signifi
cant article today.
War" says the paper, is virtual
ly declared by concord of the king
the government, and the nation. The
wonderful secret dream which for hall
century has strengthened Italy in
It's long wait, is about to be trans
formed into radiant reality,
Italy is about to engage not only
in war to lberate the remainder
Of the Italian provinces under foreign
rule, but in war for civilization"
Rome, May lS.--Italy's decision for
peace or war will be made on Thurs
day when the question will be submit
ted to parliament.
Official confirmation of the report
that the Salandra cabinet would re-
main in power was greeted by one OF
the most remarkable demonstrations
of approval ever witnessed in Rome
A crowd estimated at 100000 gathered
in Popolo square at the foot of the
Pincian hill, the slope and summit
Of which were thronged with repre-
sentatives of the most aristocratic
families in the capital.
Society women wearing the tri-
color of Italy waved flags and hard
kerchiefs as they joined in the cheers
for Salandra and Foreign Minister
Sonnino while bands played patriotic
airs. Beside the obelisk In the square
was an immense caricature of EN-
peror Francis Joseph of Austria at
which all kinds of missiles were
hurled
The crowds went wild when King
Victor Emmanuel, without an escort,
visited the barracks and the military
hospital He was cheered madly by
the people.
A demonstration such as Rome has
not seen since the days of the revo-
luton began last evening and lasted
throughout the night. Contrary to for
mer practices there was no effort by
the police or military to stop the popu-
lar enthusiasm and the crowds surged
through the city acting very much
as though war had been declared al
ready and victory were being cele-
brated.
The same thing has occurred
throughout the country. The one call
is for Salandra, the war advocate and
for his ministers. The fact that King
Victor Emmanuel has at last accepted
Premier Salandra is taken as proof
teryention, and has given his consent
to mobilization. Momentous events
are expected. The kings life guards
already have been supplied with cam
paign uniforms.
Reports from Trieste indicate that
the anti-Austrian riots are growing in
intensity, and that the heavy guns on
Opicina hill have been directed on
the city with a threat of lombard
ment, while the Austrian fleet at Pola
has received orders to be ready to go
to the city, and cooperate with the
artillery.
1t is now ascertained that the dead
killed in the rioting number more than
fifty, a majority of whom are women.
The ammunition magazines at San
Saba and Bazovizza have been blown
up under mysterious circumstances
while a timber yard in Trieste was
burned The rioters are suspected in
