In spite Of the heavy attacks Of
men massed together the English
have maintained their own against
the Germans in all Of the important
positions. The loss of life on both
sides has been very heavy.
The italians continue to hold
their position on the Piave River
and are now receiving aid from the
Allies. Confidence is returning and
fear OF a general overrunning Of
Italy grows less. Rumors are ap-
pearing, however, that the Ger
mans are planning another heavy
drive into Italy on larger scale.
The German effort to make peace
with the ruling party in Russia
is evidently making headway. Ger
man officers have been in Petrograd
and Russian ENJOYS have entered
the German lines bindfolded on mis-
sions connected with the peace.
Meanwhile the sentiment Of Russia
seems to be crystallizing against
tne radical rulers.
Two recent acts Of Germany are
significant. Krupp gun factories
have been opened in Switzerland
and an organization has been form
ed to buy land in Alsace-Lorain as
rapidly as possible and hold il for
German soldiers in order that these
provinces may be colonized by Ger
mans.
The three northern nations, Nor
way, Sweden. and Denmark, after
a conference Of their kings, have de-
cided to remain neutral. They are
seeking TO make light of the German
threat to occupy Denmark and the
latter state shows much indignation
at the press Of the United States
for some Of its reports about that
country
England has been much annoyed
during the week by the act Of the
Bolsheviki government in Russia
which has made public some secret
diplomatic documents relating to
'Asiatic affairs. The revelations
have caused questions to be asked
in the House of Commons which are
likely to cause dissension.
A letter from Lord Lansdowne Of
England is receiving much atten-
tion during the week. In connection
with other matters. he comments on
the possible effects of a peace be-
tween Russia and Germany in which
England is not a partner. Germany
has seized on the incident and is
seeking to take advantage of it.

Greatest War Budget
In History Of Country
Passed by Congress

Washington, May 19.-The greatest
war budget in the history of the Unit
ed States, carrying $3,342,364l3l.22,
was passed by the senate today.
The bill provides appropriations for
the military and naval establishment
and authorized unlimited power to the
president in purchasing and construc-
tion of merchant ships.
Responding to appeals for action
both from the country and the presi-
dent, the senate disposed of the meas
ure in jig time today. Efforts to limit
the presidents powers under the ship
ping section were defeated after the
only persistent fight made on any fea
tire OF the bill.
Just before passing the bill, upon
motion OF Senator Weeks the senate
struck $4S,5S2,250 from the appropria
ton for horses for the army, leaving
only $25,OOOO00 for this purpose.
The bill already has passed th'
house. 1t now goes to conference.
