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.
To Make Shells at Leeds
London, May 12. —As a result ftf the
efforts of Colonel Sir Percy Girourd,
one of the men appointed to hurry the
output of munitions, a national factory
for the manufacture of shells is to be
established at Leeds. The employers
and workmen are co-operating and work
will be started in the factory within
two months.
LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY

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.

1100,000 FIRE AT SEWARD
Alaskan Town Threatened by Blaze
That Destroys Much Property
By Aucciated Press.
Seward, Alaska, May 12.—Seward
awoke to-day to begin the work of re-1
pairing the damage caused by the fire j
which yesterday menaced the entire!
town and which took heavy toll of the '<
buildings and property of" the Alaska
Northern railway, soon to be taken over,
by the United States government. Con
servative estimates to-div placed the
loss at SIOO,OOO.
The fire still was burning to-day in
the timber tract, a short distance from
Seward, where the flames started, but
the wind which fanned the blaze to
ward the town had died away and all
danger was thought to have been avert-'
ed. The round ho se, machine shops
and car shops of the railroad were de j
stroyed, as were seven residence and
eight tent houses. A locomotive and I
six cars also were destroyed.

DIOCESE CLERGY

Coatlaunl From First Pas*.
morning are: five clerical members of
the standing committee, L. F. 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.
A rising vote of thanks was given
the congregation of St. Stephen's
church for the hospitality accorded the
delegates during the three-day conven
tion and anniversary celebration which
closes to-night with the annual Church
Club dinner.
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-.
Millan, archdeacon of Harrisburg: the
Ven. Lewis Nichols, archdeacon of Wil
liamsport: the Ven. Franklin T. East
ment, archdeacon of Altoona; the Rev.
Rollin A. Sawyer, president of the
standing committee: the Rev. William
Heakes. the Rev. George I. Browne,
the Rev. George R. Bishop and the
Rev. Herbert B. Pulsifer.
Women Hold Sessions
The auxiliary conference held at St.
Andrew's church this morning, for the
consideration of the topic, "The Cen
tral Meetings," was followed by an
auxiliary luncheon served by the wom
en of St. Andrew's. Mrs. J. W. B.
Bailsman, president for ten years, told
the story of the decade. Mrs. James
H. Darlington responded to a-toast to
Mrs. Bailsman. Miss Eleanor Clark re
sponded to a toast to Mrs. George D.
Ramsay, for ten years directress of the
Juniors, Miss Nanna Stewart responded
to a toast to the other officers who
served ten years, and Mrs. E. G. Duu

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

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

[good things far from his reach, Charles
decided he would have some and he
did.
With caution he went to the rear of
the plant, where the ovens are located,
but right then and there he could
stand it no longer and with animal-like
quickness he snatched two loaves of
bread. Others were a little quicker
1 than Charles, and before he knetv what
was happening the police patrol soon
had him lodged in jail. He will be
given a hearing on a charge of larceny
before Mayor Royal to-morrow after
ncon.

j BOARD HAS $5,801 TO SPARE
Problem to Know What to Do With
Old Trade Organization's Assets
Preliminary to making an order
fiually dissolving the old Harrisburg
Board 6f Trade, predecessor of the
l Chamber of Commerce, Judtge George
Kunkel ( this morning appointed Wil
liam H. 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.
There are more than 400 stockhold
! ers in the board and a problem the mas
ter must solve arises from the fact
• that on November 6, 1913, when the
j board decided to give up the ghost,
many of the stockholders were not in
! good standing. 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.
