ITALIAN POPULACE CLAMORS FOR WAR Continued From First Page Italian constitution gives to the sover eign alone the right to "declare war, make peace and conclude treaties." There is a diversity of opinion in the capital, however, as to whether action by His Majesty should be purely for mal or simply in accordance with the decision reached by his ministers. Those who favor making his constitu tional prerogative more than a matter of form are utging that as soon as Austria makes its final decision regard ing territorial concessions the Cabinet shall ask the King to take supreme command and rely upon his judgment. Apparently, however, a majority of the people believe the Cabinet must as sume the responsibility one way or an other, with the certainty that its deci sion will be sustained almost unani mously by Parliament and the country. The part that Parliament is to play re mains uncertain . It may or it may not be asked to express an opinion as to the wisest course to pursue. Pontiff Expects Clash Soon San Sebastian, Spain, Via Paris. May 12, 5.30 A. M. —Pope Benedict is greatly depressed by the trend of events in Italy and believes the intervention of that country in the war is only a question of days, according to appar ently authentic information received here. The pontiff is reported to be greatly concerned regarding the possible effect war would have on the relations between the and the Vatican. He has decided, it is said here, not only to invite the German, Austrian and Bavarian Ambassadors accredited to the Vatican to leave Rome, but to withdraw the papal nuncios from the countries which would be hostile to Italy.

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY COB tin uril From First Page. attacking furiously in an attempt to break through the German lines. Although local successes have been won on both sides the main issue which is awaited with unconcealed concern, probably will not be decided for some time. The Russians admit a further retreat in Galicia, although denying Austrian and German reports of a complete rout. British correspondents in Petrogiad minimize the importance of the Austro- German victory, intimating that Rus sian strategy may have been responsi ble in part for the rapid advance oT the Teutonic forces. Reports from all sources Indicate that the loss of life in the fight on Gal lipoli peninsula has been severe. Brit ish accounts indicate that the allies have paid a heavy price for establish ing positions on the land. A dispatch from Athens says that losses of the Turks have been so great that fresh troops are to be brought in from Smyrna. The course of Italy is still unde cided. Pope Benedict is said to have al most given up hope that Italy will re main at peace. Austria's final counter proposals are expected shortly but lit tle hope apparently is entertained that they will satisfy Italy.

Baker, Robert Bell, G. I. Browne, William Heakes and Rollin A. Sawyer; five lay members of the standing committee: I. S. Huber, John Langdon, David Mc- Mullen, H. B. Meredith and R. T. Smith, and three lay members of the Board of Missions: L. W. Allibone, G. X. Reynolds and R. M. H. Wharton. Use of Autos Advised The report of the Board of Missions showed that the receipts and expend itures of the past year for missionary work were Targer than ever before in the history of the diocese, making pos sible the employment of more mission aries and the increasing of the Board's efficiency. The report called particular attention to the successful use of auto mobiles in the work in home mission fields, pointing out that by means of the machines three stations can be served by one man instead of two. The Board of Missions has resolved to put automobiles into use as fast as possible, especially in mountainous re gions of the State, and reports that the archdeacon of Williamsport has al ready been supplied with a machine. At the conclusion of the report Bish op Darlington, who was the presiding officer of the session, seconded the senti ments expressed in favor of the use of autos. He said that they are not lux uries. but are essential for the use of the missionaries if the best work is to be done. He said that the machines increase the efficiency of the preachers because loss time is consumed in travel ing from station to station and he cited instances of trips he had taken through mountainous regions conveyed by horse and carriage, as compared with trips by nutomobile. He met the argument that the machines are of no use in winter by the assertion that his son, who is stationed in a mountainous region, has used one throughout the past year, with satisfactory results. Delegates Would Not Go on Record That the diocese delegates had no inclination to put themselves on record regarding the Lusitania disaster was evidenced when the question came to a vote. A resolution was offered by W. G. Xewbold, delegate from St. An drew 's church, this city, similar in tone to the resolution adopted last Sunday at a mass meeting at St. Andrew's, call ing on the proper authorities of the I'nited States government to take im mediate action and to make drastic de mands on the Imperial German govern ment. It was voted by an overwhelm ing majority that the motion be laid on the table. . A question put to Bishop Darlington as to whether it is optional with the elergv to use fermented or unferment ed wine in the communion services brought from the Bishop the decision that the ordinary wine be used in all churches in literal compliance with the Scriptural commands. He said that he had never heard of a case in which such use of wine had offered tempta tion for drunkenness. Next Sessions at Williamsport An invitation was accepted by the diocese to hold its convention next May in Trinity church, Williamsport. This church will at that time celebrate its jubilee, having been organized fifty years ago.

Following the adjournment of the convention, the delegates were enter tained at luncheon by the women of St. Stephen's church at the parish h»use. They then returned to the church and during the afternoon addresses were made bv the Rev. Lerov F. Baker, general missionary and senior presbyter of the diocese; the Ven. Alexander Me-.

DIOCESE GROWTH DURINC DECADE TOLD BY BISHOP In his address at the convention service at St. Stephen's church last night, the Rt. Rev. James F. Sweeny, Lord Bishop of the Toronto diocese, Church of England, conveyed greetings from the Canadians to the members of the Harrisburg diocese, and expressed confidence in a kinship existing be tween his country and the United States. He stated his opinion that at HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1915. the close of the war the United States will be turned to as the '' moral eree." > Bishop Gives Annual Address Bishop Darlington's annual address to the convention was brief and devoid of sensatioual features. It contained no reooMtaendations except minor ones dealing with the administration of the affairs of the diocese and its relation to the church at large. The majority of the address dealt with the decennial anniversary and the rejoicing incident thereto, with brief reference to the work and growth of the see during the decade. He spoke with thankfuluess of the gifts which made possible the building of the Chap el of the Hoiv Spirit, the memorial shriue in the official residence here, and referred to the library connected with this chapel, which "contains noth ing but books concerning the Third Per son of the Holy Trinity, written by men of many faiths and many lan guages. '' Following his established custom, Bishop Darlington then read the roll of those who have died during the past year; the congregation arose dur ing this list and remained standing un til after a brief prayer at its conclu sion. The Bishop closed his address with a table of statistics showing the growth of the diocese in various ways since it was erected ten years ago. His address hi part follows: ''Ten years ago with about two thirds of the territory of tfie mother Diocese of Central Pennsylvania and embracing more than twice the size of the neighboring State of New Jersey, this jurisdiction was set apart, and be gan its separate existence, under newly elected leaders, and an utried, recently consecrated diocesan, in place of the experienced and honored Dr. Talbot, now the Bishop of Bethlehem. It was felt by clergy and laity alike that our trust must not be in our own resources, but upon the guidance and power of God the Holy Ghost. This was es pecially fitting as Harrisburg, capital city of the State, was chosen for the diocesan name, and as the first settlers of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had been churchmen anil friends, who emphasized the leading and personal guidance of the Para-clete. The dove, representing the Holy Spirit, emblemed between the arms of a Celtic cross, was therefore chosen as the central figure of the diocesan coat of arms, and the Latin moto selected is "A Spiritu dum Spiro Spero," "In the Spirit While I Breathe I Hope." A little later, when a beautiful memorial chapel was given for the use of the bishops of Harris burg for all time, it was named "Chapel of the o]v Spirit," and a growing library, connected with it con tains nothing but books concerning the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, writ ten by men of many faiths and many languages." Tribute to Mr. Lamberton In the reading of the roll of those who have died during the past year, the Bishop paid this tribute to Mr. Lamberton: "James .McQormick Lamberton, who for his love and devotion to this dio •eese, was often jestingly ealled ' Bishop Coadjutor,' died on Palm Sun day, April 28, and was buried from St. Stephen's church, April 30. He had held almost every office which a lay man could hold in his diocese, had been president of the Church Club and also the Church Clubs of the United States. I trust at the proper time a suitable minute will be offered and printed in the Journal, and that some time we may have given the diocese a memorial which may perpetuate his honored name to future generations. "The material increase and numeri cal gain in the diocese is a reason for thanks to ' God. from whom all bless ings flow." There is not time to de scribe or state parochial growth, but the following summaries may be of in terest: This diocese consists of 24 counties and covers 18.566 square miles.

Earnest as auditor or master to decide upon a plan for distributing the board's $5,801.75 assets, which now are in the hands of Henderson Gil bert, the distributing trustee.

Tangled records make | it almost impossible to get definite i data on which of the stockholders may j be entitled to share in the assets. The Board of Trade 'now has no | debts, the building at Market and River streets, which was mortgaged to j the extent of $40,000, has been sold ! to the Commonwealth Trust Company J and the purchaser has assumed the mortgage obligation.
