BROTHERHOOD.

When from the silent chambers of the
 soul
 Love gives gifts and works wifi, a living aim And builds a lasting nrfendsflfp that

 The same in human joy or human
 pain. When the heart proves giver Of
 deepest worth
 And gives out a golden wealth from
 man to man And in response a thousand joys come to birth - That forms an union of souls that will stand.

ITALIANS MASS HEAVY FORCES
TO CHECK ENEMY'S ADVANCE

A VIENNA, May 20. - Strong reinforce

Austro- -Hungarians,
In the sector of Terragnolo Valley, where
fighting has developed upon Italian soil. the
Italians have massed men and guns drawn
from other parts of the front.
King Victor Emmanuel is reported to
have gone to Vicenza, the headquarters of
the Italian commander opposing the Aus
trian drive in the sectors of the Adige and
Astico Rivers.
Tactics which have proved so successful
for the Germans are being employed by the
Austro-Hungarians, and the high command
Is not attempting to drive through the
Italian lines with a single stroke. The
Anstro- o-Hungarians abe moving forward
cautiously, the way being paved for infantry
advances by bombardments of extreme vlo-

ARMY OFFICIALS INCENSED
OVER Baking OF MILITIA

WASHINGTON. May 22.-The National
Guard came in for considerable thought in
Washington today
President Wilson indicated his intention
to express publicly his confidence in the
guard.
High army officials predicted court.mar.
tial for the 116 New Mexico members who
have refused to enlist for border duty.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
Senate Military Committee, expressed his
belief that the guard would not provide the
natinal defense desired, and announced his
purpose to renew his fight for universal
service.
Brigadier General w. Il. Harvey, of the
District of Columbia Guard, obtained from
the President a promise to write letter.
Harvey had gone to the White House to
ask the President to address the guard of

ITALY TO OPPOSE VATICAN
SHARE In PEACE CONGRESS-

ROME, May 22.
There are strong indications that Italy
will protest vigorously against participa-
tion in peace negotiations by the Vatican.
The two questions whether the Pope has
a right to be admitted to the peace con-
gress and whether Italy will formally op-
pose the admission of delegates of the Holy
See are the subjects of a highly interesting
debate on the part of a number of promi.
nent men in public life
The conclusion arrived at shows that only
the first question can be settled in a way
entirely favorable to the Vatican. AS to the
second 1t appears that besides being of an
extremely delicate nature 1t is also doubtful
of solution.
Signor Ernesto Nathan, former Mayor of
Rome and leader of the anticlerfcal party
in Italy maintains that the Pope. as head
of church, has no place in peace con-
gress unless the belllgerent nations are
ready to grant the same privileges to the
heads of other churches whose communi-
cants have in small or large numbers par
ticipated in the war.
With regard to the second question,
Signor Nathan holds that the presence of
delegates from the Holy See would be both
an onense to Italy and dangerous to Italy's
interests.
Senator Eugene Valli. professor of inter-
national law at the University of Rome,
takes the view that the Pope, he lding rights
not possessed by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the heads of other churches, could
be admitted to the peace congress as the
dispossessed ruler of the church States.
Senator Valli also contends that the Pope
could ask for admission to the peace con-
gress as the highest religious authority
possessing a universal character, and in
order to secure such measures as to guar
antee its absolute independence, as well as
the continuity of his work.

thnt 1000 German troops are on their way

Il ls said that there are already about
$4,000 Austrian troops at Bagdad.
There are developments of great impor-
tance pending in Mesopotamia which may
have powerful effect upon the future
course of the war in the Northeast
IN an effort TO check the Russian ad-
vance through Asia Minor and to save the
Turkish army in Mesopotamia the Turks
have sent ali their available troops to those
regions to reinforce the lines defending the
Bagdad railway and the city Of Bagdad.
Great stores of artillery. ammunition and
guns have been sent into Turkey from
Germany and Field Marshal Liman Won

Of part of the country and the arid desert
stretches as well as the absence of roads,
operations may be slow, but with the Rus

selves for n decisive victory in which the
Turks win be overwhelmed.
In front OF Bagdad the Turks have given
up some of their positions on the right
bank OF the Tigrs, but still hold to Sama-

For the first time since the beginning of
the war, Russian and English land forces
are now fighting side by side in the
Garden OF Eden region of Mesopotamia.

Military critics today warned the public
against excessive optimism as the result
of General Lakes brief announcement
They pointed out that it is highly improb-
able that the main body of Russians can
effect a junction with the British for an
advance on Bagdad for several weeks and
that in all probability the Slavs will ad-
vance on Bagdad from the north instead of
Joining the British near Kut-el-Amara.

FUNSTON ASKS FOR TROOPS;
BAKER HASN'T SENT THEM

WASHINGTON May 22.-Secretary of
War Baker today announced that he had
not ordered any additional coast artillery
men to the border for patroling duty. He
was asked the pointblank question IL 1t
was true that General Funston had asked
for more troops.
II never discuss what General Funston
asks" he replied. II only discuss what
1 give him"
Have you given him any more troops?'
he was then asked
"I have not" he answered.
The Secretary then was asked if he con-
templated sending any more men to the
border.
II can't discuss that" he answered
Secretary Baker further said that he had
not yet been advised that Colonel Sibleys
forces are to be withdrawn from Mexico.
He again made ii plain that General Fun
ston could make whatever disposition he
desires of the forces at his command with
out consulting Washington.

Obregon as saying the situation is acute be.
cause American forces penetrated Mexico
below the Big Bend, today brought the
statement from Baker that so far as he
knew the question of the crossing had not
been discussed In the recent cott.Obregon
conferences Obregon was quoted as de-
claring this move to be contrary to the
tacit understanding about future opera
tions.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 22.-General
Funston has asked Washington for addi-
tional coast guard forces for duty on the
Mexican border. No reply has yet been
received, but General Funston will press
his request and is also expected to ask
for more cavalry and infantry. The coast
guards are wanted for stations in the Big
Bend district.
