Berlin Is Celebrating

Berlin.-Flags are being displayed
in the streets of Berlin in celebration
of the report of Field Marshal Won

Persons in the confidence of high mil.

Hindenburg had quietly gathered a
strong force for an offensive in East

Rome.-Italy has made virtually the
same representations to Germany as
did the United States concerning the
neutral shipping in the German war
zone it was made known. Italy, how
ever, limited her action to friendly OBJ

sador to Germany. Italy maintained
the right of her ships to proceed with

people on board and the quality of
the cargoes, unless Germany can make

The Diplomatic Corps.

The end of this week will find the
diplomatic corps much depleted, at
least of the gayer element, for ambas-
sadors' wives are loath to linger at the
capital once the spring festivities are
over. To be sure, the ambassadors

ministers, will be here for the greater
part of the summer. but SO far as

scarcely count, being consumed with
official duties.

to Bar Harbor or Newport. They are
both fond of society and prefer being
where 1t is gay.
The Austro- Hungarian ambassador
and Nine. Dumba will leave Washing
ton tomorrow or next day for New
York and will probably remain there
several days en- route to Lenox, where
they have taken a place for the sea-
son. During this week the counselor
Of the embassy and other members of
the staff will also leave Washington
and the embassy will be practically
closed for the season.
Mr. da Cana. the Brazilian ambas-
sador, left yesterday for Long Branch.
where he will join Nine. da Cana at
Heron Hall over Sunday. He will re-
turn here the first of the week.
