WILSON OVERRIDES SECRETARY BRYAN A, Known State Department Head Opposed Note to Berlin— Refused Permission to Call Down England. Washington, D. C., May 24.—Marked Jlfferences of opinion over the interna tional policy are appearing in the cabinet. Although it does not appear there has been any clash to warrant belief of disruption of the cabinet. It is true that Secretary Bryan has been > trying to get a different policy adopted than the one President Wilson is tak ing. Mr. Bryan was opposed to the course of the president’s note to Berlin and ■wanted the subject approached in less drastic fashion. He also has been try ing to get a new note sent to England on neutral shipments but the president )ias turned him down, because he holds the German problem should not be com plicated with the one relating to the British order in council. Doubtless a note will be sent later but the president wants to choose the time more wisely.

New York, May 24.— Miss Mary Gar rett Hay, in order to cope with the epidemic of marriages among the suf frage forces, has been obliged to issue a set of rules for the regulation of matrimonial affairs. “Get married as much as you like, children," she says, “but you can’t give up your jobs until the vote is won.” The economic independence of wom en is included in Miss Hay’s program for suffrage newlyweds. “Don't give any of your money to your husbands, girls,” she charges. “If you work hard you want the satisfac tion of spending your own money the way you want to."

I IS WORLD WAR AT HAND? I Entrance of Italy, Threatening Attitude of Balkan States, | Switzerland, Holland and Scandinavian Nations and Im pending Crisis in America Point That Way. Washington, May 24.—Is this. In fact, to be a world war? That Is the question that Washington is asking. Will Germany, Austria and Turkey, now facing seven Eu ropean powers—England, France, Russia, Italy, Belgium, Serbia and Montengro, not counting Portugal and Japan in the background soon have other enemies added to her list? All indications point to the early entrance of Roumania, Bulgaria and Greece. The interests of these Slavic states are identical with those of Russia in many ways. It is further to their interest to push the Turks out of Europe and to help the allies in opening the Dar danelles for Russia. Should Germany refuse to meet the demands of the American gov ernment, little doubt remains that the United States will become in volved, though perhaps not active ly. President Wilson has taken a firm stand and it can be safely said he will not back down. In the present crisis between Germany and the United States this country will have the moral support of the South American nations. La ITesaa. the leading Journal of Buenos Aires, says: "Universal war is inevitable if the German government repudiates the principles of President Wilson’s note.” El Razon, Buenos Aires, says: "The United States and other neu tral countries have already suffered too patiently, morally and mate rially.” El Diaro declares: “South America supports the energetic at titude of the United States. Switzerland Is reported to be preparing to send a note to Berlin on the sinking of the Eusitania, and It will be couched In stronger terms than that of President Wilson. Furthermore, the suggestion is added, the Swiss representation is backed by 500,000 trained troops. Holland is buying munitions, arms, supplies and organizing 450. 000 militia. The Scandinavian states are restless and resent the treatment of their commerce by Germany. It is felt here that the slightest provocation would bring down up on Germany and her allies all the smaller neutrals of Europe as well as the severance of diplomatic re lations with the important nations of the western world. I Basel Dispatch From Germany Says Kaiser Has Agreed to Respect the U. S. Flag and Laws of Nations. REPORT IS NOT CONFIRMED Claimed Captains of Sub Sea Craft Have Been Ordered to Let All Off Before Sinking Allies’ Ships, Geneva, (via Paris), May 24.—A dls patch received In Basel from Berlin states that the German government before discussing the American not# concerning the sinking of the Lusl tanla, promised Washington to respect the American flag on ships.

BERLIN REPLY TO WILSON NOTE NOT YET COMPLETE Berlin, May 24.—The German reply tc :he Washington note regarding tliq Lusitania has slowly taken shape at a series of conferences at the foreign office. Whether the note will contain iny definite proposals for a solution of :he problem is uncertain. It has been suggested here that If America insists on the right of Its citi tens to travel on passenger steamers belonging to belligerents, without risk of submarine attack, an arrangement night be reached by which the Ameri can government would certify that the cargoes of such steamers contained no contraband. It is further suggested that certified steamers carry some dis :lnguishing mark which would free :hem from the risk of being torpedoed without warning or giving the pas ?engers and crew a chance to escape. However, whether this suggestion will be embodied In the final form of a note a not known.

RUSSIANS TRYING TO OUTFLANK FOE Petrograd Reports Army of the Grand Duke Has Gained Sucesses on Both Ends of Line. London, May 24.—Aside from tht Italian situation, the point of greatest interest at present is central Galicia, where a battle of farreaching import ance is under way. The Russians are credited with progress being made on both flanks of the Austro-German for ces, but apparently have not been able to menace their communications. The main struggle is being carried on along the zone from Przemysl northward for a distance of about 60 miles. Although the Austrians and Germans are ap parently making slower progress than heretofore, Petrograd dispatches admit they still retain the advantage. The latest official statement from Petrograd says: “On the Galician front the battle continued on the 19th with great fe rocity. Between the Vistula and Prz emysl the enemy extended themselves somewhat on the right bank of the San, In the center of the region of Sienlawa, but on two flanks in the direction of the Vistula between Tarnobrzeg and Ulanoff, and In the direction of Prz emysl, near Tytchenpy we realized im portant successes in a battle on the left of the San.” ‘Between Przemysl and the great marshes of the Dneister. the Intensity of the attacks have reached the culm inating point. The enemy suffered par ticularly great losses in his repeated attempts to pierce our front in the sec tor of Gussakouff-Krukanltza. In the direction of the Stry on the J9th, and at dawn of the 20th, desper ate battles were In progress, the issue of which is not yet known. But to the north of Bolakhoff, near Banla, we re conquered by successful counter at tacks, several trenches lost the pre vious day. “Near Kolmea, the enemy has brought up reinforcements and contin ues to hold his ground.” PEACE IN ORIENT IS ASSURED, SAYS OKUMA Japanese Premier Says Mongol Nations Are Now Firm ly Solidified.

CHEERS FOR “OLD GLORY" Romp, May 22, (via Paris, May 24). Almost the entire population of Rome, except the aged and invalids, gathered this evening on Capitoline hill, where Prince Colonna. the mayor, had in voked a solemn sitting of the munici pal council to consecrate, in the heart of the capital, the new war. The Capitoline palaces had been dec orated with historic tapestries com memorating events of great national importance. The mayor delivered a patriotic address, which provoked tre mendous applause from the throngs gathered In the senatorial hall, the square below and in the surrounding streets as far down as the forum on one side and the Caffarelll palace, now the home of the German embassy, on the other. After his address. Prince Colonna, surrounded by aldermen and the mu nicipal council and preceded by the standard of Rome, started for the quir inal to pay tribute to King Victor Em manuel as the personification of Italy. Thousands at Quirinal, Veritable rivers of humanity poured through the streets leading to the pal ace of the king. Thousands were packed into the great quirinal square. The scene which was enacted when his majesty and the members of his fam ily appeared on a balcony overlooking the square has few parallels in the his tory of Rome. The crowd numbered several hundred thousand. The Roman hosts were carried away upon a flood tide of Latin enthusiasm when the monarch appeared. T’TlA mnltitiiHo nrna an vaat tVio t oil the people could not enter the square. From the crowd came a sound like the roaring of the sea. The windows on the balcony of the quirinal palace were opened and a red damask covering was thrown over the parapet. This was a sign that the king was about to ap pear and the impatience of the crowd increased. There were cries of "Long live the king!” and "Long live the house of Savoy!” Finally the king and the queen and the royal children came out on the balcony. His majesty was in the uni form of a general. The crown prince, dressed as a sailor boy, waved his cap to the multitude. The excitement of the people arose almost to a delirium. The king then did an unprecedented thing. He gave orders that the Italian flag be raised to the balcony. Then amid the thundering cheers of the multitude his majesty advanced to the national standard and folding it in his arms embraced it. The royal family then retired with in the palace. Later the king called a group of the aldermen inside and to them expressed his gratitude for the loyalty and patriotism of the Roman people. ( Cheers For America. After the demonstration before the quirinal a great crowd with an Ameri can flag carried at the head, went to the Del Drago palace the »esidence of United States Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page. There were loud cheers, for America, and demands for revenge for the Lusitania victims. Great excitement was caused In the capital last night by the report that Signor Bollati, Italian ambassador at Berlin had been assulted while driving in the street. It was learned later, however, thut the incident was not so serious as it was thought and that the police had begun a rigid investigation. Letters of regret were sent to Signor Bollati by Chancellor Von Bethmann Hollweg and Foreign Minister Von Jagow. Officials of the socialist party met to day in the deputies and resolved to ral ly to the support of the government. A manifesto will be Issued urging all ad herents of the party to work for the UctllUIlHI CUUBP. Admiral Bettelo, president of Italo Rumanian league, telegraphed to M. Filipesea. president of the Rumano Italian league at Bucharest, saying that on the day Italy declared war on Aus tria her thoughts would turn to Ruma nia. counting upon her assistance at a supreme crisis. Revenge for Insult. In spite of disavowals by high Ger man officials of the attack upon the Italian ambassador at Berlin, Rome newspapers consider the incident a grave reflection upon Italian dignity. The Idea Nazionale declares that the excuses of the German chancellor and foreign minister are insufficient and that the insult must be revenged. The Tribune believes a fitting re ply would be for the people of Rome to aeompany the German ambassador to the station the day he leaves the cap ital and 'return Batin civility for an act of German barbarism.” BERLIN ANTICIPATES SWISS MOBILIZATION Berne Government Calling More Men to Colors—Arranges for Food Supply.

Still Uncertain Where Italian Army Will Deliver First Blow Udine, Italy, (via Chlasso to Paris,) May i’4.—From the Alps down to the sea, the whole vast region has been transformed Into a huge military en campment. Everywhere are tents, gun carriages and flags and the intense ac tivity which marks a military camp. In the extended plains of Friuli, stretching along the sea, Italian sen tinels near the frontier can see the ruins of Aquileia, a second Rome founded by the Romans In 181 B. C. The Italian army officers have great difficulty in restraining the soldiers from crossing the frontier here, the men being anxious to conquer Friuli from which came Berengarlus, the first king of Italy. The troops most anxious to fight are the Alpine soldiers, who are of the same type as the French Alpine chas seurs. These men number 60,000 and they have been chosen from among the strongest and bravest of the mountain eers. They are commanded by a select ed set of officers who know all the secrets of the snow capped boundaries. ! The Alpine troops ocupy all the passes, . their motto being "no admittance I through here.” Four of the best known Italian gen erals are here working
