Italy first made known her demands

a readjustment of the frontier along

GERMAN LOSSES
REPORTED HEAVY
OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM PET.
RoGRAD TELLS OF KILLING
OF TENS OF THOUSANDS.

Petrograd, May 21.-This Official
statement referring to the recent fight
ing In the Carpathian mountains was
issued here today:
''In the fighting Of the past three
weeks, since the beginning of the op-
erations of the enemy in the Carpath-
ians, their losses on May 10, II, IL and
13, during which the fighting lost
some Of its intensity, averaged 10000
day. On the other seventeen days
they were much heavier, especially
during the period between May 18 and
10 when they amounted to several
tens of thousands daily.
Certain regiments of the enemy
have been reduced to single COM
'pany. Their net losses during this
period, including 10000 prisoners cap
tured by us, have undoubtedly reached
to one-fourth or perhaps one-third of
their total strength.
"The scores Of guns lost by the
enemy in this fighting is as nothing
compared with their total number, but
it must be borne In mind that owing
to the lack Of horses and the scarcity
of project1les-between two and three
million shells having been expended by
the enemy during this period-the
enemy left behind on old positions sew
eral hundred guns. This circumstance
has helped to equalize the odds, which
were in favor OF the enemy"

lieved the unconditional acceptance OF
them would have affronted seriously
the interests and dignity of Austria
While negotiations were still pending.
however, the Italian ambassador at
vienna presented on May an unex-
pected declaration that Italy regarded
the triple alliance as having been
broken by Austria's proceedings
against Serbia In August. The am
bassador declared he had been in
structed to withdraw all offers made
by his government. With regard to
Germany the Italian government con-
fined itself to bringing to the knowl-
edge of Berlin the declaration present
ed at Vienna on May 4.
"The last attempt to prevent our
former ally" says the newspaper,
from joining our enemies was made
on May 10, by considerably extended
promises on the part of Austria
Hungary, which the imperial chan
cellor read in the reichstag on the
18th. After the presentation of these
negotiations no Green Book can alten
the fact that II italy takes up arms
against her previous allies she will be
guilty of breach of faith and trust
and will be acting in order to gain
increased power which was offered the
Italian people with all possible guar
antees, voluntarily without bloodshed." ;"

ENGLISH PAPERS
RAP KITCHENER
PUBLICATIONS WHICH ONCE
LAUDED HIM, NOW LEAD IN
ATTACK ON SECRETARY.

London, May 21.-Newspaper at
tacks on Field Marshal Earl Kitchen
er, secretary Of war, Is one of the most
remarkable features of the ministerial
crisis in Great Britain. Earl Kitchen
er at the outbreak Of the war was the
nations military idol and was loudly
proclaimed by the same newspapers
that now attack him.
The Daily Mail and other papers
under the same ownership have been
most violent, questioning the military
genius Of the field marshal. The
Daily Mail says:
Kitchener is gatherer Of men,
and a very fine gatherer,s too, but his
record in the South African war as a
fighting general, apart from his excel
lent organizing work as chief of staff,
was not brilliant.
Nothing in Kitchener's experience
suggests that he has the qualifications
required for conducting European
campaign in the field and we can only
hope that no such misfortune will be-
fall this nation as that he should be
permitted to interfere with the actual
strategy of this gigantic war;"
Other organs like the Morning Post
and Daily News protest that dead
set has been made against him. The
Morning Post says:
"The new government will not like.
ly be so foolish as to throw over the
man whose presence has held the con-
fdence of the nation and Of our fight
ing forces since the beginning Of the
war, but will rather seek to support
and cooperate with Lord Kitchener
and take from his overburdened shoul-
ders the secondary work Of reorganiz-
ing the country's industrial resources,
SO as to supply the army with ade.
quate supplies and munitions.
The Daily News in an editorial pro-
tests in the strongest language against
what it terms a press campaign
against Lord Kitchener.
Some papers take a middle ground
and reduce Lord Kitchener's value to
that of good recruiting officer.
