fort td check tho victorious drive of tho
Austro-Hungarians,
In the sector of Terragnolo Valley, where
fighting; has developed upon Italian soli, tho
'Italians have massed men and guns drawn
from other parts of the front.
King Victor Emmanuel Is reported to
.hayo gone to VIcenra tho headquarters of
the Italian commander opposing the Aus
trian drive In the sectors of the Adlge and
Astlco Elvers.
Tactics which have proved bo successful
for tho Germans are being employed by the
Austro-Hungarians, and the high command
Is not attempting to drive through the
Italian lines with a single stroke. The
Austro-Hungarians ahe moving forward
.Cautiously, the way being paved for Infantry
advances -by bombardments of extreme vio
lence. An Important advance has been made by
tho Austro-Hungarians in the Sugana Val
ley, where the Italians were compelled to
retire before tho battering of the Austrian
runs and the Infantry onsets which fol
lowed. On the Isonzo line tliero have been duels
-with big guns.
It is estimated now that there are nearly
lb',000 Italian prisoners In the hands of the

KING ALFONSO PLANS
MOVE TO BRING PEACE;
WILL SOUND NATIONS
Spanish Monarch Will Send
Emissaries to Arrange Truce
if Sentiment of Belligerents
Is Favorable
MAY ACT IN NEAR FUTURE
LONDON, May 22.
King Alfonso may initiate peace nego
tiations In tho near future, Madrid papers
stated today. Tho Spanish ruler plans to
first sound out peaco sentiment In each of
the belligerent countries. If the results are
satisfactory he will send two Spanish
statesmen to belligerent capitals to work
out plans for a truce. This Information
was contained today In a dispatch to tho
Evening Telegraph. ,
ITALY TO OPPOSE VATICAN
SHARE IN PEACE CONGRESS
ROME, May 22.
There aro strong Indications that Italy
will protest vigorously against participa
tion in peace negotiations by tho Vatican.
The two questions whether the Pope has
a right to be admitted to the peaco con
gress and whether Italy will formally op
pose the admission of delegates of the Holy
See, aro tho subjects of a highly Interesting
debato on tho part of a number of promi
nent men In public life.
Tho conclusion arrived at shows that only
the first question can be settled In a way
entirely favorable to the Vatican. As to tho
second It appears that besides being of an
extremely delicate nature It Is also doubtful
of solution.
Slgnor Ernesto Nathan, former Mayor of
Rome and leader of'the anticlerical party
in Italy, maintains that tho Pope, as head
of a church, has no place In a peace con
gress unless the belligerent nations aro
ready to grant the same privileges to the
heads of other churches whoso communi
cants have In small or large numbers par
ticipated In the war.
With regard to the second question.
Slgnor Nathan holds that the presence of
delegates from the Holy See" would bo both
an offense to Italy and dangerous to Italy's
Interests.
Senator Eugene Valll, professor of Inter
national law at tho University of Rome,
takes the view that tho Pope, hddlng rights
not possessed by tho Archbishop of Canter
bury and tho heads of other churches, could
be admitted to the peace congress as the
dispossessed ruler of the church States.
Senator Valll also contends that tho Pope
could ask for admission to the peace con
gress as the highest religious authority
possessing a universal character, and In
order to secure such measures as to guar
antee Its absolute Independence, as well as
the continuity of his work.

CenllnnM from rare One
llkelr that the Tnnuls would make an at
tack, but ranchers and truck drlveVs from
the Big Bend district brought In alarmist
reports. One of these was to the effect
that part of tho main expeditionary force,
after reaching a point only 2R miles from
the border had been summoned to return
southward tc tho placo where Colonel Sib
ley had established a sub-base.
Mexican officers In Juarea decried tho
theory that tho sudden appearance of the
Taquls Indicated any plan to attack the
Americans.
'The presence of Carronza soldiers In
that neighborhood," said General Gavlra,
commander at Juarez, Is merely nn Indica
tion that tho co-operation promised .General
Scott by General Obrcgon is In effect. Tho
Carranztstas there are merely ready to take
UP tho Americans' work. The same thing
was done, when General Pershing's men be
gan to fall back.
"Our men moved Into the camps that
General Pershing's men left and aro now
policing' the country."
Latest reports from General Pershing's
expedition Indicate that tho first punitive
force has fatten back IB miles north to
Namlqulpa. Clashes between American
troopers and Mexican bandits farther to the
south make it apparent that Pershing Is
protecting the rear of his expedition with
scouting parties.

Cavalry,.. nAr Tcnaschlno, Wounding one,
were members of these bands.
These bandits nro moving In bands of

behind tho American to avoid a clash.
Many Inhabitants of the region nround San
Antonio,' Mexico, are fleeing north In tho
wake of tho Amrlcan troops. Gencrnt
persuing has sent hack cnvalry detach
mentn to attack and disperse theso bands.
Stories that tho American troopers nrn

among tho Mexlcnn peons nnd nro believed
responsible for tho new outbreak of banditry.

conferences. Obrcgon was quoted as de
claring this movo to bo contrary to tho
tacit understanding about futuro opera
tions. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., May 22. General
