NORTHERN ITALY
 BEING INUNDATED
Heavy Rains Cause Rivers to > Overflow Banks

Rome. May F LPp-Vast sections of northern Italy are flooded in con- sequence of torrential rains which fell last night in the wake ot per iod of unusually heavy downpours.
 Part of the city of Nicenza (forty miles west of Nenice) and scores Of towns are under water, many houses being carried aways as the AdiGe, Pc and other rivers oyerflowed their banks,
 Only one death was reported this forenoon that Of q Fascist militiaman who was drowned trying to protect the electrical plant at Bergamo.
 Telephone and telegraphic com munications with many places have been cut off, notably between Nil- minore and Bergamo. At Brascia the electrical service has been stop ped due to the flooding of the pow "rhouses.
 The rivers were already high last night, when two storms resembling cloudbursts swept the country, The greatest damage was done in the north, although Rome was visited by a heavy rainfall and Palermo Sicily, reports a storm attaining cy- clonic proportions and causing enor- mons damage.

situation Still Tense

Warsaw. May 17 Pl-While Po- land is outwardly calm. the situa- ton continues fraught with grave possibilities.
 Three questions in the chief topics of discussion in Warsaw fol- lowing the successful conclusion Of the military revolt under Marshal Joseph Prsudski. They are:
 1-Win Pisudski prove another K4rensky. and find it easier to uD- seat the government than to es- tahlish something better and stabler in it's place?
 2-Wiu he emerge another Mus soIini, which role he seems unln- clined to play at present, but which he may be compelled to assume by the pressure of events?
 3-Win the situation continue evenly along constitutional lines after Premier Wtios' forcible ejec- ton?
 That Pilsudski is under great pressure from his friends to pro- ceed in dictatorial manner is tn- dicated by statement made to ar Associated Press correspondent by Colonel Polakiewicz. leader Of the peasant union group in parliament and close friend of the marshal.
 Many of us" the colonel said. "are opposed to a national assem- bly, convening this waek 10 elect a new president. AS at present con- stitutcd. the W'itos people hold the maiority.so that one Of their men would be likely to he elected.
 such a man would never be ac- crptable to the army. Then why go through the motions of na- tional assembly? I favor the disso- lution of parliament first, and the election Of q president by a new parliament later"
 But" the correspondent said, "as only parliament can legally dis solve itself, and as WitoS controls the majority, how can you expect parliament 10 dissolve legally?
 To this Colonel Polakiewsicz only shrugged his shoulders.
 Among the possibilities in the next few days are the following;
 A national assembly may be prevented. although Marshal Pil- sudski at present is desirous of proceeding in accordance with the constitution.
 A national assembly may meet under the shadow of bayon"ts with a result satisfactory to the Pilsud- ski party.
 The assembly may act without intimidation but elect ( man unac- reptGhla to the Pilsudshi group, whcrcupon further forcible deHel- opments would be likely.
 The correspondent learns that former Premier Witos was taken 10 Acting President Rataj's palace last evening before his release. II IS rumorad that he was compelled to sign q statement satisfactory 10 the Pusudsllians.
 A present the convcrsauyes are evidently passing out the word 10 remain quiet. prevent further b,oodshed and s"a what happens at rhe national assembly,
 With this ill view. Speaker of the S.natc Trompzynski went 10 Posen vos,trda- to arpoase the province which is l stronghold of Inc anti rilsIdsEi forces.
