spouse from Danville was immediate
and the hremen from that city had
streams of water playing on the fire

COUNCIL Of WAR
HELD IN ITALY
Two Cabinet Ministers CIoSeted
with King Emmanuel at Roy

ferring on Entrance of War.

ROME. March IA long confer

of war; was held at the royal palace
today Premier Salandara was the
first to arrive and after he had been
with King Emmanuel for an hour
Minister of War Supeli put in his ap-
pearance.
The two ministers were closeted
with the king for two hours and az
the conclusion Of their conference it
was announced that an extraordinary
session of the entire cabinet would be
held tomorrow.
Late in the morning Prince Won
BuelOw, the German ambassadors
called at tho foreign office. His stay
there was short
The conference of the king with his
two ministers and the visit of the Ger
man ambassador To the foreign Office
led TO reports that the crisis had been
reached as regards Italian interven-
tion in the war. In the diplomatic
circles of which the representatives
of England, France and Russia form
a part, the belief as general that Italy
Will east her lot with the allies within
a fortnight
There is not the slightest chance
that Austria Will cede to Italy the ter
ritoTy that country wants as a price
for its continued neutrality" said one
diplomat Italy wants territory that
would make her the unQuestiOned
mistress Of the Adriatic sea. This
includes Trent. Trieste and other land
on the Adriatic whose loss would re-
duce Austria 10 an inferior position
possibly beneath that now occupied by
some of the Balkan nations.
Acceptance of such demands is in
conceivable. AdVices for a reliable
source from Austria declare that the
general impression there is that Ger
many would willingly sacrifice Austria
to save the German empire. This may
be true. but it also may be taken as
fact that Austria will not submit to
this"

CLOSER To FORTS
ABOUT PRZEMYSL
Three SortieS by Austrian Gar

and PetrOgrad Expects News
of Forts Capture.

PETROGRAD. March L. - Three
sorties have been made within the last
two days by the garrison at Przemysl,
the Austrian fortress in Galicia. but all
have been repulsed. The Russians are
pressing closer to the beseiged strong
hold and war office officials expect to
receive news of its fall within a short
time
Unofficial reports were current last
night that Przemysl had already fall
en-, but il was stated at the war Of
fee today that these reports were
slightly premature"
Handicapped by the inferiority of
their artillery as compared with that
Of the Austrians. the Russians have
conducted the siege of Przemysl with
patience and care unsurpassed in
history, and dispatches from LembeTg
telling of hand-to-hand fighting near
the outer forts declare that the efforts
of the cars troops are about to be
rewarded.
The fall Of PTZemysl would have an
important effect upon the whole cam
paign in Galicia as il would release at
least $1,000 Russian soldiers, who
have been held there 10 make the in
veStment effective.

COW This has been prevented by the
danger that Przemysl might be re-
lieVed by Austro-German forces COM
ing from the south and that this, to-
gethes with the PrZemysl garrison,
might strike the rear of the Russians
farther west.
While the Russians are operating
effectively at Przemysl. other forces Of
Grand Duke Nicholas are gaining
some slight successes about PrZasnysz.
Late last week a sudden German Of
fensive there resulted in the capture
of Hill No. III, and Hill NO. 152,
which dominate two of the five roads
leaGmg north and northeast from
PrZasnysZ.
ON Monday. however. four Russian
divisions were hurled against the Ger
mans at these points and both the
heights were captured late in the day
after nine-hour battle. The Silser-
ian troops charged with magnificent
courage in the face OF the German ar
tillery fire and i'm the final assault.
drove the Germans from the SUBMITS
of the hills with a bayonet charge
The Russians suffered heavy losses in
this action but they regained positions
from which the Germans would have
been able TO make successful attacks.

MANY BRITISH OFFICERS
DIE At NEUVE CHAPELLE
Reckless Bravery of Men of
Rank Causes Great Losses
in Terrific Fight.

PARIS. March IL - Heavy losses
among British officers were a distin-
gushing feature OF the terrific four
day tight at Neuve Chapelle where the
Germans were defeated and forced to
retreat four miles. 1t is estimated
that the British lost nearly 10000 men
in killed, wounded and missing and of
these about 200 were officers. 1t has
been reported that the Germans were
under special orders TO pick off British
and French officers. but a more likely
cause for the heavy losses among the
men OF rank is their reckless bravery
in battle. which leads them to expose
themselves needlesSly.
England now has the largest army
in France that has ever been put up.
1t is estimated that more than 1000,
600 soldiers are on French soil but
not all of them are on the firing line
yet The Germans evacuated some of
the territory the held in Belgium.
Fighting is still in progress among the
hills of NOtre Dame de Lorette, north
of Arras, where a struggle has been in
progress for many days.
The lighting in Champagne, north
of Perthes. Les Mesnil and BeausejOur

In the northern part Of the Argonne
forest the Germans have launched a
severe counter offensive which cost
them dearly without getting them any
material results.
In the Noevre district the German
forces have been strengthened TO
meet the attacks Of the French who
are trying to cut the st. Mihiel lines
Of communications.
Artillery duels are in progress at a
number of places along the battle
