war SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, May 21-Special: The
question of whether Italy will enter
the war is still unsettled, but the ma
iority of the dispatches from Rome
indicate that Italy soon will take her
place among the belligerents. 1t is
stated that the ambassadors of Ger
many and Austria are preparing to
leave the Italian capital. Servants
having in charge heavy baggage bear
ing the monogram of Prince o Bue-
low, German ambassador to Italy.
have arrived at Chiasso, Switzerland.
Austria, according to reports, has
submitted new proposals in an effort
to induce Italy to maintain her neu-
trality. A definite announcement as
to Italy's position is expected at any
time. Meantime, Italy is engaged in
completing preparations for war.
Lieut.. Gen. Count Cadorns, Italian
chief of staff, has arrived with his
staff at Vicenza, near the Austrian
frontier.
A nonpartisan cabinet for Great
Britain for the duration of the war is
assured. Premier Asquith and An
drew Bonar Law, leaders of the two
great parties, have confirmed the re-
port of a coalition ministry. The
premier stated that nothing had been
definitely arranged, but this was as
sured-that the prime minister and
the foreign secretary would continue
in office, that no change was contem-
plated in the policy of prosecuting
the war with all energy, and that the
reconstruction of the cabinet would
mean no surrender by persons or par
ties of their political purposes.
In the western theater of wal only
unimportant engagements have taken
place owing to the i%nclemency of the
weather. In the east stubborn fight
ing continues in Galicia. An Austrian
official statement says that the Teu-
tonic allies have repulsed strong Rus
sian forces northeast of Jaroslau. The
Austro-German forces have captured
Sienawa and forced a crossing of the
river San, taking 1000 prisoners.
North of Gambler the Teutonic allies
have captured places which have been
defended s~tubbornly by the enemy.
Vienna claims the allied fleets are
continuing their attack on the Darda-
nelles. A dispatch from Mytelene
says they have silenced the Turkish
fertilization at Kilid Bahr, on the
European side at the end of the mar
rows nearest Constantinople. 1t Is
said that the fall of Niagara, on the
Asiatic side opposite Kilid Bahr, is
imminent.
German submarines, which have
been relatively inactive since the
sinking of the Lusitania, on Wednes-
day sunk three vessels in British wa
tiers. Two British steamers, the Dunn
fires and the Drumcree. and a trawl
er were the victims. No lives were
lost.

ONE WOMAN'S Ordeal
ON BURNING SHIP FROM NOR
WAY-FINDS HUSBAND DEAD
IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis, May 21.-Anguish
and mental torture such as few WON
en- ever have been called upon to bear
struck down Mrs. Louise Skonnord,
who now lies at the home of her par
ents in Minneapolis in a serious con-
dition and may not
Mrs. Skonnord's arrival in Mime
apolis brought the climax of a re-
markable chapter of grief.
With her two small children, she
braved a journey from Norway,
through the European war zone, to
the United States in order to join her
husband, Norman Skonnord.
The ship took fire while in mid
ocean and for two days Mrs. Skon-
nord remained on the deck, guarding
her children and ready each moment
to board one of the lifeboats. while
the crew fought the stubborn flames.
1t was a terrible vigil. The forty
eight sleepless hours, the uninter-
rupted anxiety, the constant fear for
the safety of the children, combined
to undermine the health of the brave
mother.
At last the firefghters won. The
daily routine on the liner, Kristiania-
ford, bound from Bergen to New
York, was resumed.
New York was reached and mother
and children boarded a train for the
great west, where they were to re-
join the husband and father. Their
troubles were all over, they believed.
When they changed cars at Chicago
and took a train for the twin cities
the mother smiled weakly. 1t was
the first time she had smiled for
many, many days.
When the train pulled into the st.
Paul union station three smiling
faces we're pressed against the win
dow pane. Three pairs of eyes eager
ly scanned the faces in the train shed.
Three persons were all sure that
papa" had gone from Minneapolis to
ST. Paul to greet them.
Then came the climax of that ex-
traordinary chapter of grief and wor-
ry through which Mrs. Skonnord had
lived since leaving Norway only a
few DAYS before. Sad-faced kinfolk
boarded the train. The brave mother
knew something was wrong. Her
heart seemed to grow numb.
Norman Skonnord was dead. He
had been killed in an accident while
his wife and little ones were journey
ing across the sea to meet him. Rel
atives broke the news as gently as
they could.
Slowly the full magnitude of her
misfortune dawned upon Mrs. Skon-
nord. The trying journey across the
ocean, the terrible 48-hour vigil or
board the burning steamer, the days
of worry and trouble had all been In
vain.
Mrs. Skonnord collapsed. The trair
came on to Minneapolis. At the Mil
waukee station the stricken woman
was borne to a carriage which car
ried her to the home of her deat
husbands parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed

BUSINESS GOOD
SECRETARY MERCHANTS ASSO-
CITATION OF MADISON RE-
PORTS CONDITION FINE.

Aberdeen American: r.. ID. Hick-
man, formerly assistant in the office
of the Aberdeen Retail Merchants
association, and now secretary of the
Retail Merchants associa-
ton, was a caller in the city the first
of the week and states that business
conditions in Lake county were never
better than at the present time.
According to Mr.. Hickman the
merchants of Madison are very opti-
mistic, and anticipate n of the
most prosperous years in the history
of the state. Crop prospects through
out that section of the state are
good, and business shows the effect
of the general feeling of confidence.
Mr.. Hickman says that all the
stores in Madison fronting on Main
street are now fitted with arcade
fronts, giving the little city a very
metropolitan appearance. The Mer-
chants association at that place has
a membership of SIS progressive mer-
chants.
The excellence of the fishing at
Madison lake was not forgotten by
Mr.. Hickman, in speaking of the city,
and he stated that some very fine
strings of black bass have recently
been caught there.

went to the mines of oregon to build
up a business. He progressed slow
ly and in the meantime the wife
went TO Norway. Then Skonnord re-
turned to Minneapolis and obtained
a position with the 500 road.
While working Monday on a bridge
at Forty-hrst venue S and the Mis-
sissippi river he lost his balance and
fell. He struck some logs in the
river and was killed.
The %cablegram informing Skon-
nord that his wife and children were
on their way to meet him was found
in his pocket when his body was ta-
ken from the river.
