'M.—Ar thur Hamilton L«ee, M. P., who was a 'British military attache with the Unit ed .States army during tha Spanish- American war and who married Miss Kuth Moore, of New York, is at present i serving as a colonel on the continent. He has written a letter home from the •British headquarters in Prance in which he says: "The allies have it in their power to win, but this does not mean that vic tory is close at hand or that the hard est fighting and the heaviest losses are not yet to come. The vast German armies occupying and devastating a great part of France and most of Bel gium are held in check, it is true, but in no sense are they defeated. Our men at the front are keen, skilled'and determined, and our victory at Neuve Chappelle has filled them with enthusi asm and confidence. Their one desire now is t' advance, but this they can nct do withptit 'better support from their mates and rulers at home. "They fully realize that the casual ties already incurred must be doubled Rn<i trebled before victory finally is won. They cannot understand why the greatest manufacturing country in the world should not supply them with suf ficient shells eight months after the outbreak of the war and they express themselves freely on this subject. In the meanwhile we all must make up lost time, not counting the cost. Men and shells in an increasing stream, is the need of (He hour." CONVERSATIOITOF CARAFA AND SALANDRA ABOUT THE WAR CAUSES DISCUSSION Rome, April 21, 8.20 P. M., via Paris, April 22, 2 A. M.—Much dis cussion lias been arou&ed by the inter view with Senator Biccardo Carafa, published to-day in the "Messagero" regarding his conversation with Pre mier Salandra concerning the war sit uation and the subsequent official statement denying that the premier made "any concrete statements of'any kind," when informed by the Senator that Prince Von Buelow, the German ambassador, was pessimistic over the success of negotiations between Italy and Austria. The premier was quoted as having said "impelled by the para mount interests of our country we will proceed with our duty against all our antagonists." A eareful inquiry regarding the in cident discloses that Senator Carafa talked with Prince Von Buelow on April 15 when negotiations between Italy and Austria were about to be broken off owing to the difficulty ex perienced in regard to a compromise. The German ambassador was greatly disappointed and expressed thin feel ing to Carafa. The latter, after dis cussing the question with other Sen ators, considered it his duty to com municate to the premier the views of the German diplomat. Albout the same time persons at the foreign office ob served that Prince Von Buelow seem ed more depressed when he left the room where he had been received by Foreign Minister Sonnino. Since that time, however, there has been a break in what seemed a hope less deadlock in the negotiations. This evidently resulted from nome conces sions made either by Italy or Austria. Senator Carafa, therefore, gave pub licity to his interview with the premier just at a time when negotiations with Austria had been resumed and when Prince Von Buelow had again become hopeful that they would be success ful.
