AMERICA UNSOUGHT AS ALLY
LONDON, May IB The American
note to Germany and the new turn
which the Italian situation has taken
by reason of the real resignation of
Premier Salandra and his cabinet are
the features of today's war news.
The firm attitude which the Ameri
can government has taker with re
gard to Germany's submarine action
against Us ships and cltlsens meets
with general approval here and the
question now is not "what the United
States will do," but "what will Ger-
tnnny'g answer be?"
Hope U. n. Stay Neatral.
It I believed in high official circle
here that Germany wtll not agree to re
verse its submarine blockade policy, and
the conclusion la drawn that the United
States will be compelled to aever diplo
matic relation with Germany. Th hope

Rtatea will not be drawn Into tho war, as

action with regard to the war, and It la
thought that nothing In thl respect wtll

Deputies meet next week, unless In the
meantime King Victor Emmanuel Induce

tep the premier might take as aasur
