German Newspapers Discuss
President Wilson's Note to
Their Government.
CALL AMERICA ANTI-NEUTRAL
Journals Say United States Favors
Allies and Prolongs Shedding of
Blood NeedlessIy.

Berlin, May 19.-The newspapers,
discussing the American note to Ger
many, are agreed that it is impossible
for-Germany to abandon its submarine
warfare.
Various newspapers point out what
they regard as the Inconsistency of the
Washington government lin asserting
against Germany the right of Ameri-
can citizens to go wherever they
please on the seas, but abandoning
that right against England and also
in admitting the legality of England's
declaration of a war zone but protest
ing against Germany's submarine
zone"
German Papers Argue 1t.
1t is further pointed out by the news
papers that the American note admits
the right of German vessels to search
British vessels and to capture them if
is declared that washington must
they are carrying contraband. But it
know this right is rendered illusory
through England's course of arming
merchantmen and ordering them to
ram submarines, by which Capt. Otto
Weddigen Zone of Germany's subma-
rine commanders) lost his life
Insists Lusitania Was Armed.
The newspapers complain that the
note is fully in accord with the Eng
lish standpoint that the Lusitania was
a harmless merchant vessel and ig-
nores the fact that she was armed and
carrying munitions. The Kreuz lei
tung asserts that Germany was thor
oughly right in demanding that neu-
trails avoid the war zone.
The Cologne Gazette makes the fol
lowing comment on the American note
to Germany:
1T shall, we are sure, receive the
answer from our government that it
deserves. It's contents and language
seem to indicate that it must be con-
sidered to be the consequences of the
anti-neutra1 attitude the American gov
eminent has assumed against Ger
many in an increasing measure.
For this reason it is comprehend
BILE that the note has found the liveli-
est approval among Germany's enc
mics. That also will be its only sue
cess. 1t cannot be supposed that the
German administration of defences
will depart an inch from the path
which the German government, after
mature consideration, has considered
necessary and entered upon.

TEUTONIC ALLIES
ADVANCE IN EAST
Big Effort Against Russia is to
Offset ItaIy's Entry lnio
the Great Conflict.
TREMENDOUS FORCE IN FIELD
Forty German and Austrian Army
Corps at Front in East-Western
Battle Wanes.

London, May 2O.-While Italy is con-
fidently believed to be making its final
preparations to enter the war on the
side OF the Allies, Austria, who would
be the direct object of it's attacks, is,
with its German ally, attempting to in
fiict such defeat on Russia that it
will be able to divert troops, if neces-
sary, to meet its new foe in the South.
The Austrian armies, in conjunction
with those of Germany, continue
massed attacks against the Russians,
who are attempting to form a new line
behind the River San. both north and
south of Przemysl and west of the Wis
tula river in Southern Poland. These
attacks, according to Austrian and Ger
man reports, have met with their
greatest success north of Przemysl,
where the Germanic allies have sue
ceeded in crossing the river and have
occupied Sieniawa on the eastern
bank.
Slower in South Poland.
They also claim to have captured
some positions southeast of the form
er Austrian fortress, while their heavy
guns are keeping up a bombardment
from the west.
not so marked, the Russians having
had strong forces concentrated at
Ivangorod, which they were able to
bring into the field and check the ad-
vance.
Big German Forces in Poland.
1t is stated from Petrograd that the
Germans and Austrians are using be-
tween thirty and forty army corps on
the 2O0-mile front from Opatow, in Po-
land, to Kolomea, in Eastern Galicia.
East of the latter city, in Bukowina,
the Russians have broken the Austrian
extreme right and are reported to
have again occupied Czernowitz, the
capital.
The sudden break in the weather in
France, which had been bright and
dry, stopped the fighting Monday, but
it has been resumed since at several
places. Between Arras and the coast
and in the Woevre it appears as
though the attacks which the Allies
were delivering have ended and that
the allied troops are consolidating the
ground gained and awaiting German
counter attacks. They are not likely
to be idle long however, as the action
must be continued for the purpose of
relieving the pressure on the Russians.

The heroines of Novels.

If we're his satanic majesty, and a
novelist came to me for judgment,

Did you ever make your heroine

dow a maiden with the repartee Of
Pinero, the intuition of Blavatsky, the
carriage of Garden, the hauteur Of
the Medici. the beauty of Aphrodite
and the wisdom of Athene-all at the
age of eighteen years?'

tainly not,' I should say: ITO heaven

1 did," 1 would blast him where he
stood.
