PEACE OR WAR GERMANY'S ALTERNA TIVE
ELEMENTS THAT MAY MAKE FOR PEACE
Desire on Germany's part not to alienate powerful neutral countries whose influence may be
needed at end of war.
Long-standing friendship of Germany for the United States, admittedly concurred in by Em
pcror William.
Desire not to, give neutral countries contiguous to Germany a reason for siding with Germany's
enemies.
Desire not to alienate sympathy and support of more than eight million Americans of German
birth or heritage.
Belief that by conceding the justice of America's position this country's sympathy , can be swung
over to the German cause.
ELEMENTS THAT MAY MAKE FOR WAR
Positive assertion of German military element that the submarine reign of terror is essential to
Germany's ultimate triumph.
Possibility that a reversal of the submarine policy at America's demand could be construed as a
violation of the German national honor.
Suggestion that Germany faces annihilation anyhow unless it can' cut off the Allies' munition
supply and belief that an additional enemy, no matter how powerful, would not make any real dif
ference. "
General belief throughout Germany that the submarine policy is the only answer England can
understand to its starvation campaign.
Desire of the military clement not to surrender a policy of terrorism which has had powerful
moral effect on the Allies.

who resigned last night. Glolottl. accord
ing to nuthorltatives reports, has refused.
Windows In the Italian Chamber ot
Deputies were smashed In mi organized
demonstration In favor of war this after
noon. War pnrty leadeis led a parndo
that started to march to the royal pal
ace to dtmand that the King Immediately
declare for war. Tre pat pile halted ln
front of the Chamber of Deputies, where
the crowd howled Us displeasure at the
peace advocatts.
ROME, May 14.
King Victor Emmanuel will decide
whether Italy will make war on Aus
tria. Following the unexpected resigna
tion of the Salandra Cabinet last night
the King this afternoon called Into con
sultation the most prominent statesmen
of the country, while troops patrolled the
streets to prevent a repetition of the
fierce rioting that swept Rome earlier in
the day.
The peace party, Jed by Slgnor Glolottl.
former Premier, hailed the resignation of
the Salandra Cabinet as a virtual ad
mission of defeat. The Interventionists,
on the other hand, declared that the
Cabinet resigned to give the people a
chance to declare publicly whether they
want war before Parliament meets next
Thursday. Premier Salandra, they de
clared. Is positive public sentiment will
repudiate Glolottl and the nentrallty
party and support the Interventionists,
The King has not yet Indicated whether
the resignations will be accepted, If- he
declines to consider them, It Is thought
certain Italy will be at war wlthn two
weeks. If he accepts and apponta a
neutrality Cabinet, noahlng but a revolu
tion could drive Italy Into the conflict.
Though the peace leaders pointed out
that Slgnor Glolottl himself was called!
to the palace early toaay, otner statemen
who have been loud In their demands for
war. were later closeted with the King.
Even some of his closest advisers were)
In doubt as to what course VIstor Em
manuel will pursue.
Before noon the street were cleared of
the rioters who attacked German shops
early in the day. The guards abput the
German and Austrian Embassies were
doubled, but there were no disturbances.
There are constant clashes between the
Interventionists and the members of the
peace party.
A number of people were wounded dur
ing a clash between "pacifists" and "In
terventionists" In war riots In Florence
today. While In Milan there was a pitched
battle In the streets

LONDON. May 14.
Internment of the 4000 Germans and

war constables, working under the direc
tion of the Home Office,
While Germans and Austrlans were
being Interned there was another anti
German outbreak this afternoon. In
East London the police had to charge a
mob with drawn clubs. Many build
ings were wrecked,
Five hundred rioters destroyed 20 build
ings at Gravesend, where the riot was
more than the police could bundle.
Hundreds of enemy aliens of military
nge, most of them Germans, voluntarily
surrendered themselves at the police sta
tions In London today. All day they
streamed Into the stations Virtually
all carried their baggage It was planned
this afternoon to quarter them tempora
rily in hotels and large halls tonight, un
til the Home Secretary decides upon a
camp where they may be sent. It was
considered probable today that the Isle
of Man In the Irish Sea will be chosen.
The police today were given lists car
rying the names and addresses of all
enemy aliens In London. Those of mili
tary age were ordered to report to the
nearest police station at once. The
Government sent extra clerks to the po.
lice stations to aid In checking and tabu,
latlng the lists.
Thus far nothing has been done re
garding the deportation of enemy aliens
over military age or ot women and cmi.
dren whom the Government, In certain
Instances, Intends to deport. The Horns
Secretary's office, however, expects to
make arrangements whereby these aliens
may be returned to Germany through
Holland.
Many of the women and children, and
men too old for military service ,wlll be
deported. At the present time some 40,
000 unnaturalized aliens, of which 21.000
are men, are at large. '
Most of the 20,000 aliens In London are
expected to surrender voluntarily for
provisional Internment until regulation

Great Wedge Driven Three

British Take Offensive South
of Ypres, But Fail to Gain.
Crashing forward toward Lens, tho
French are delivering attack upon nt
tack on the German lines between
Arras and La Bassee and, according
to a report Issued In Paris this after
noon, have gained additional trenches
near tho town of Souchez Their ad
vance has also brought them within the
outskirts of Givenchy, only four miles
from Lens.
The continuous advance of the
Flench, part of which Is admitted by
Berlin, has thrust a great wedge In the
German lines for a instance of three
miles. Several of the ndvanced Ger
man positions are only held by a single
lino of communication, and each
French gain puts their defenders' In a
more precarious position.
The British have taken the offenslvo
north of La Bassee, whero their lines
Join those of the French, but have been
unable to make any headway, although
they havo relieved much of the pres
sure the Germans were exerting on the
Allies' lines about Ypres. The Bel
gians report that they have repulsed
an nttempt of the Germans to cross
the Yser River near Olxmude.
The Russians are still retiring In
South Poland, according to the Berlin
reports, which claim the capture of
143,600 prisoners since the new German
offensive began. Petrograd, however,
reports that In eastern Gallcla the
Austro-German forces have been com
pelled to retreat, and that In the north
tho German attempt to move on Riga
has been completely blocked.
Five dashing German efforts to re
take Shavll, the chief road centre on
the way to Riga, In the Baltic prov
ince, have been repulsed. Bitter re
slstance to the Invaders continues.
Vienna officially chronicles a steady
advance of Austro-Germans op the
Carpathian front, but concedes a
critical situation on the Bukowina
frontier. Assertion is made that from
May 2 to May 12 more than 143,000
Slavs were taken prisoners.
