which is one of the main detectives
of the Italian campaign.
The occupation of Monfalcone is re-

from Trieste, its possession gives the
Italians control of the chief railway
junction of that region. 1t prevents
the Austrians from transporting troops

Tolmino and Gradisca. Monfalcone is
the center of electrical supply for
Trieste and has large shipbuilding

Bryan determined to leave the cabinet
because Of his desire not to embarrass

In submitting his resignation Mr.,

the mining company decided that it

invites the imperial German govern
ment to make use of its service in
this way at its convenience. The
whole world is concerned in anything
that may bring about even a partial
accommodation of interests or in any
way mitigate the terrors OF the pres
ent distressing conflict
In the meantime. whatever arrange
ment may happily be made between
the parties to the war, and whatever
may in the opinion of the imperial
German government have been the
provocation or the cireumstantial
justification for the past acts of its
commanders al sea, the government
of the United States confidently looks
to see the justice and humanity of the
government of Germany indicated in
all cases where Americans have been
wronged or their rights as neutrals

THE government of the United

very solemnly renews the presenta-

imperial German government on the
18th of May. and relies in these rep

THE government of the United

as in any degreee an abbreviation of

lives of noncombatants cannot law
fully or rightfully be put in jeopardy
by the capture or destruction of an
unresisting merchantmen, and to rec
ognize the obligation to take sufficient
precautions to ascertain whether a

belligerent nationality or is in fact
carrying contraband of war under
neutral flag. The government of the
United States therefore deems it rea-
sonable to expect that the imperial
German government will adopt the
measures necessary to put these prin-
ciples into practice in respect of the
safeguarding of American lives and
American ships, and asks for assur-
ances that this will be done

OF the Baltimore convention when the

they were at Baltimore when he broke
