Summary
 OF THE w ar News

War between Italy and the cen traI empires is now regarded in Rome as almost unavoidable. There is said to be only a slen- dar chance that an agreement will be reached. Military prepa- rations are being pushed vigor- ously and political opposition to war apparently has largely died away.
 In Paris 1t Is rumOred Germany and Austria have declared war on Italy but so far as is known there 2 is no basis for such a rumor.
 An official statement issued at ConstantinopIe says the French and British troops made four at tacks near Avi Burnu on Sunday but were driven back with heavy losses. It is asserted that three battalions, or about 5000 men were annihilated.
 Victory in several engag gements along the Carpathian front is re- ported in an official Russian statement. Dispatches to Swift zerland say the Russians have be- gun a strong offensive at Tarnow, reported to have been captured last week by the Austrians as well as in the Baltic provinces to the north.
 A German aeroplane, flying over St. Denis, a suburb of Paris to-day dropped two bombs. Five persons were wounded.

ENGLISH PAPERS URGE NATION TO
 DRASTIC ACTION

London. May 1.-The principal themes of editorial discussion in the newspapers continue to be advocacy of drastic treatment for Germans in Great Britain and curiosity as to what action the United States will take in reference to the Lusitania disaster.
 Sir Valentine Chirol, writing in the Times, attributes the German subma- rine activity entirely to Albert BaIlin, director-generaI of the Hamburg American NSteamship line. who for years has been one of Emperor Will Hams most trusted advisers in all questions of maritime policy. Sir Valentine declares Herr Ballin dis suaded Germany's ruler from going to war in 1912 over Agadir because the German submarine was not then de- veloped to a point where it could ex- act effective sreprisa1s from the Brit ish mercantile marine
 Discussing the attitude of the Unit ed States toward Germany, the Times says it docs not complain be- cause of the lack of vigorous action at Washington
