Washington, May 17.--Dr. Bernhard
Dernburg, often referred to as the I'M
offlclal spokesman of Emperor William
In the United States, has made plans
to leave the country of his own initi-
atlVe within a short time.
1t became known in official quarters
here today that in view of the intina-
ton that President Wilson and the
cabinet were displeased with DR.. Dern-
bergs speech justifying the sinking
or the Lusitania and some of his other
public u~tterances which they believed
might be calculated to array sentiment
OF Germans iii the United States
against the Washington government,
friends of DR.. Dernberg here have pre-
suaded him to leave the United States.
To Cuba or South America.
Just e DR.. Dernberg would leave
OF where he would go was not made
known. but 1t was believed he would
sail for Cuba or South America.
DR.. Dernberg's activity in the United
States since h beginning of the wal
has been closely observed by the pres
ldent and other high officials here, who
came to believe in the last week that
a continuation of his speeches and
statements might in the event of q
critical turn in relations with Ger
many menace the domestic welfare of
America.
Or. Dernbers himself issued Il state
ment last night, declaring he had never
discussed matters that had arisen dip
lomatically between the United States
and Germany. Officials here made no
comment on that beyond pointing to
DR.. Dernberg's utterances in Cleveland
and New York recently, seeking to

appear to be powerless to control the
people.
The Fabra News agency from whose
agent this dispatch comes, gives it out
under reserve but at the same time
says it believes the information prob
ably is correct
Indications of Il serious revolution
AIRY movement against the present re-
publican government Of Portugal have
not been lacking. On the contrary re-
ports from this country for six months
past have almost all referred to politi-
cal disorders. There has been serious
dissatisfaction with the administration
or affairs and the government has been
freely criticised as drastic to an
impossible degree: the president and
his advisers have been called outlaws,
political demonstrations have not been
unknown; there AVE been bread riots
at Lisbon. followed by the proclama-
ton of martial law throughout the re-
public; there has been much plotting
on the part Of the monarchists and the
arrest and incarceration Of numerous
monarchist leaders: the army and navy
have been suspected in their allegiance
n officers of each branch have been
arrested. There has been established
the ~so-called republic of northern Por-
tugal under the presidency of General
Barreto and there have been labor
disorders of a serious nature.
A dispatch from Madrid to Reuters
Telegram company says it is reported
there that DIR. Alfonso Costa, former
premier Of Portugal, has been assas-
sinated in Lisbon.

NEW AUSTRIAN HOWlTZER
WORSE THAN "BIG BERTH,

Farnow, Galicia. May IA giant
howitzer, of new type, played an i'm
portant part in assisting the Austrians
to smash the powerfully fortified Rus
sian position at Tarnow. The howit-
ger is of the same caliber as the ~
centimeter guns and it's work certainly
is not less terribly effective.
When the Austrians occupied the
Russian position they found men dead
without wounds, far from the places
where the proiectiles of the howitzer
exploded. The air pressure from these
projectiles swept the Russian wire en-
tanglelnents away and the shell. in
exploding, threw fragments of castings
a mile. h effect of this shel fire
on the nerve of the Russians is de-
scribed as having been very great.
This artillery and 3O.5-centimeter
mortars assisted in demolishing the
Russian entertainments on top of a
hill. The correspondent who visited
the former Russian position says the
evidence everywhere showed the de-
structive character of the Austrian
fire. The ground was denied with
funnel-shaped depressions where shells
had exploded after burrowing deep in
to the earth. Some of the depressions
were 90 feet in diameter and 20 feet
deep.

New York. May l7.-Alfred Gwynns

er Elsie French, his first wife. The
others, Alfred Gwynne, jr., born Sep

THINK S[AvS CAN
HOLD THEIR FOES
Is Confidei;r. Russian
Hordes Are Able to Check
Austro-G German Rush.
Rout Enemy in East.

London, May 17.--London observers
are of the opinion that the Russian
situation today is p~erceptlbly brighter
and this in spite Of the fact thai
the Austro-German victory in west
Galicia is becoming more and more
obvious n that it is certain the Rus
slams have lost heavily in men and
ammunition.
Confidence in the strength of the
Russian ally of Great Britain is main,
tanned because of their ability to de-
liver a counter attack as has been
shown by their success in east Galicia
n Bukowlna, where the Austrians
are reported to have been routed and
to be ~retreating along a front 60 miles
Wild 1t is consequently hoped in
London that the Russians may retrieve
on the Pruth their failure on the Dun
alec.
1t is reported also that the Rus
SLAMS have checked the Germans in
the Baltic provinces.
