MATTER OF NATIONAL PRIDE Big Fleet Available Territory Asked About 8,000 Square Miles, With 1,000,000 Population, The entrance of Italy Into the world war, which began last August, brings tbe number of states engaged In tbe conflict up to 11. Italy, allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary since 1862 in tbe Triple Alliance, was called upon last summer, shortly after the assssi-lnfttton of the Austrian Crown Prince at Sarsezo, Bosnia, to support the Germanic empires. She declined and there began a series of diplomatic negotiations which soon resolved themselves Into efforts on the part of Germany and Austria-Hungary to in duce Italy to remain neutral. Prince von fluelow, an astute Ger man statesman, whose wife Is an Italian woman, was sent to Rome with Instructions to do his utmost to save the situation. He labored indefatigably for months, but in vain. He offered Italy certain parts of Austrian terri tory as the price of her neutrality, but her answer was always, "It Is not enough." It now appears that Austria did not really believe that Italy would enter the field against her. In the meantime there had arisen in Italy a war party, led by the "Irredent ists,' which made Its voice heard in no uncertain terms. Dispatches frotn Rome for months past have Indicated that the sentiment for active participa tion in the war was stronger by far than that on the side of continued neu ral it. v. For months the diplomatic ex changes between Vienna and Rome had been constant, but the most per sistent efforts of the diplomats to keep Italy out of the war were futile. The Triple Alliance was denounced by Italy on May 4, but even after this diplomatic endeavors were continued. AUFtria offering Italy further conces sions as late as May 10. Large Forces On Italian Front. Italy's first move on land undoubt edly will be against tbe Austrian fron tier. Large numbers of her troops are mobilized in this territory, and the for.es of Austria-Hungary are lined up on the other side of the boundary. The very mountanlous character of the Terrain where the opposing armies face each other, the southern part of the Austrian Alps, promises operations and fighting of tbe most difficult nature. So far as known, the Italian fleet is mostly in the Adriatic, under the com mand of the Duke of the Abrutzl, who is known to many Americans through bis visits to the I'nited States some 10 years ago. It Is generally believed that the fleet will proceed promptly against the naval strength of Austria in these waters. To Regain "Unredeemed Italy." One great purpose of Italy in enter ing the war Is to gain possession of "Unredeemed Italy," a sweep of Aus trian territory to the north and eaBt near the head of the Adriatic Sea. This region, w hich includes Trent and Trieste, is Italian in all but nationality. To attain It has long been her cherish ed ambition. REFUSES SHRAPNEL ORDER.

Tbe ground was strewn with more than 500 German dead. "The weather having Improved, our troops on the slope of Notre Dame de Lorette made an attack which suc ceeded brilliantly. We have taken the German fortified work called 'The White Way' (La Blanche Vole), which Is situated on the only one of the five outbern ridges of the Lorette Hill, which was still partially In the hands of the enemy. From this point the Germans, with their mitrailleuses, were considerably hampering our action, as also was the case on the plateau and to the west of Suchex." Berlin (via Londan). The following statement was given out at the War Office: r "Western theater of war: "North of Ypre colored French troops attacked our positions east of the canal during the night. "An attack by the British In the late evening south of Neuve Chapelle, in the region of La Qulnque, broke down under our fire. Northeast of Arras we shot down an enemy flying machine at Fresnoy. "A further attack, by the French In the Forest of Allly, failed with con siderable losses to the enemy, who left a few prisoners. "Since the 1st of May, 104.000 pris oners, 72 cannon and 253 machine guns have been captured by the army under General Mackensen and the other German troop fighting In the AustroHungarian army. These figures are included in the total figures al ready published." Petrograd (via London). An offi cial statement referring to the recent fighting in the Carpathian Mountains was Issued here and reads: "In the fighting of the past three weeks, since the beginning of the operations of the enemy in the Car pathians, their losses on May 10, May 11, May 12 and May 13. during which the fighting lost some of it intensity, averaged 10,000 a day. On the other 17 days they were much heavier, especially during the period between May IS and May 19, when they amounted to several ten of thousand dally. "Certain regiment of the enemy have been reduced to a aingle com pany. Their total losses during this period, Including 40,000 prisoner rap tured by us, have undoubtedly reached to one-fourth or perhaps one-third of their total strength. "The score of guns lost by the enemy in this fighting Is as nothing compared with their total number, but 4t must be borne In. mind that owing to the lack of horses and the scarcity of projectiles between 2000,000 and 3,000.000 shells having been expended by the enemy during this period the enemy left behind on old positions sev eral hundred guns. This circumstance has helped to equalize the odds, which were in favor of the enemy." $220,000,000 MORE FOR WAR. French Chamber Calfed Upon For Ad ditional Aproprlatlon. Tarls.

FRENCH CONTINUE GAIN GROUND GERMANY DELAYS REPLY TO NOTE Answer May Not Come For Week, Gerard Cables NO DICKERING ON DEMANDS Torpedoing Of Drumcree and De fiant Ton Of German Pre Lessen Hop Of Peace. Washington. Ambassador Gerard notified the State Department thHt the German note would not be ready for at least a week. It probably will be 10 days, therefore, before the note is made public in Washington, though It is possible that Berlin may make it public before It reaches here. Tho news of the sinking of the Brit ish ship Drumcree off Cardiff by a German Submarine and the unfavor able comment of the German press on the note of the I'nited Slates caused a pessimistic feeling . here as to the nature of the reply which Germany will make to the demands of the United States. No Sign Of Conciliation. The sinking of tbe Drumcree made It dramatically evident that Germany has no Intention of abandoning her submarine warfare against merchant men pending a discussion of the issues raised by the United States. The tone of the German press left on the minds of Slate Department offi cial the Impression that Germany Is disposed to persist In her submarine warfare against merchantmen upon the plea of necessity, regardless of the right of neutrals under existing inter national law. Her excuse, of course, will be the oft-asserted Justification which she claims exists In British vio lations of International law through which she has been made to suffer greatly, and which, she alleges, threat en her very existence. The keynote of nearly all the German press comment on the Amerkcn note I that Gernnany must be ' more concerned about the thing that threaten her than about the right or even the live of neu trals. If that nhnll be the position taken by Germany In her reply to the United States note, a break between the two countries, officials say, will be In evitable. Germany First, I Program. President Wilson has no intention of permitting America's protest to Ger? many against the sinking of the Lusl tanla to be thrown into the background by a new protest to Great Britain against the hardship and injustices noosed upon American commerce by the British blockade. Whole it is true that the United States Government expects at an early date to renew it demands on England for better treatment, there ia strong suspicion in official circles that the sudden agitation which has been started regarding the British violations of American rights I the result of a deliberate effort on the part of Ger man propagandist to divert public at tention from the Lusitanla affair while Germany takes her time about answer- ng President Wilson' note. It can be stated on the authority of Secretary, of State Bryan himself that at no time since the sinking of tbe Lusitanla bas the German Govern ment, either through Mr. Gerard or the German Embassy here, Indicated its intention of suspending submarine warfare against merchant ships pend ing a reply to President Wilson. Reports that such assurances had been given are likewise suspected of having, been started by German propa gandists in an effort to still popular fecKng in the United States. BRITAIN EXPLAINS ACTS. Fear American Misunderstand Atti tude Toward Shipping. London. In an effort to correct what the Government believes to be a misunderstanding of Great Britain' attitude toward American ships and American cargoes In other neutral bottoms, detained under the order in council, the Foreign Office ha issued an explanatory memorandum. This explanation is supplemented by a statement that cotton cargoes, which the Government agreed to pur chase under the cotton agreement, have all been bought by the Govern. ment and the actual details concern lng the payment only await proof of ownership and papers showing the actual contract price. It Is explained that as most of these papers must come from the United States there will still be some unnvoldablo delays before the owner of the cotton get their money. ACCUSES KAISER OF MURDER.

O. 8EIXEnB, Acting Director of Sunday School Course or Mooay bidis Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR MAY 30 BRING3 ARK TO JERUSALEM. LES80N TEXT-H Samuel :12-1 and Psnlm 24. (Study all of chapter S.) - GOLDEN TEXT-I was glad when they ald unto me, A-t us go unto the house ot the Lord.-Psulm 122:1, This event probably occurred B. C. 1042, In the twenty-second year of David's reign. It would be a good plan to assign to various pupils such subjects as: (a) What the ark was and bow It came to be lost; (b) Where it had been since the days of Joshua; (c) What occurred to it while In possession of the Philistines; (d) Who was Obed-edom? (e) Uzzlah? (f) Mlchal? (g) How Jerusalem came to be tbe seat of government. I. The Ark Recovered, vv. 1-5. David realized that while God was the God ot all the tribes, still there was no visible religious center; there was the consequent danger of confound ing the local place of worship with that of some local Baal (god) and the possible breaking up of the national reliance upon Jehovah. Where Kir- jatu-Jearlm was Is not definitely known, but perhaps It was eight or ten miles west of Jerusalem. Tbe ark bad lodged here for perhaps seventy years. David and they that were with him followed the example of the Phil istines (I Sam. 6:1-18) In their mode of transferring the ark rather than to have it carried upon tbe shoulders of the priests (Josh. 3:3). Preceded by "David and the bouse of Israel, 1. e., leaders of the people and all others present, they began the return Jour ney from tbe house of Abinadab. II. The Ark Retarded, vv. 6-11. They had reached one of the open places used as a threshing floor when the oxen slipped and the cart was shaken. Uzzlab, one of the two into whose charge it had been placed, laid hold of tbe ark to keep it from fall ing. Why "was he slain therefore? We have already suggested the reason. How to carry the ark was plainly writ ten (Num. 4:5-12; 7:9). Neglect of God's word gets many well-meaning people Into trouble, along with their friends, also. The ark was the sym bol of God's presence, and men had to be taught to revere his holy name and his glorious presence (see last clause v. 2). Uzzluh's sin was the sin of Irreverence. He seems- not to have sensed tbe Invisible God In his visible abode. The result struck ter ror into the heart of David and the people, and the ark was left in the house of Obed of Edom for a period ot three months. David's "improved plan" was a proved failure. III. The Ark Restored, vv. 9-19. David, by thus abandoning the ark, seems to have resented the judgment of God, yet he must have realized that God bad sufficient cauBe for his acts. The ark Ms a type of Christ, who is Immanuel, God with us. The ark contained tbe law of God, as Christ enshrined the will of bis Fa ther. Over the law was the blood sprinkled mercy seat where God met his people (Ex. 25:18-22). In Christ we find our mercy seat where we meet God. Though this ark brought Judgment' to Uzziah it brought bless ing to Obed-edom (v. 12). Even so Christ brings Judgment or joy accord ing to our treatment of him. Obed edom so piously cared for the ark that both he and his household were rich ly blessed. If Christ is really in our hearts we will be blessed, and Christ abideth forever. IV. The Ptalm of Praise, Ps. 24. In the Jewish synagogue this psalm Is recited at the carrying back ot the book of tbe law o .'ts shrine, and in the Greek church at the consecration of the church. Tho twenty-second psalm presents the suffering Savior; the twenty-third presents the risen Savior as the shepherd caring for and leading his sheep, and the twenty- fourth tells of the reigning, glorified Lord. The whole earth is Jehovah's (T. 1) and no incident better teaches tbe converse, viz., that be is God of the earth and not a mere tribal deity. He "founded" and "established" it, and all "the fullness," and "they that dwell therein" are his by creative and redemptive right Since we belong to him we owe him worship and serv ice and a servant is one who "standB" v. 3). The conditions of fel lowship with Jehovah are "clean bands and a pure heart" (v. 4), those who deal with honesty and reverence.' "Vanity" and "Idolatry" are frequently synonymous terms. The first nnd tbe fourth condition relate to others, the second and the third to one's Inner life (see I John 1:6, 7). The reward of acceptable worship and service is "blessing from the Lord" (v. 6). In verse eight we find Israel's great name for God first usod In the Psalms. He Is gloriously strong, this Lord of the hosts of heaven. In I Cor. 2:8, Jesus who was cruci fied is called the "Iord of Glory." Even so our coming King is "strong and Mighty" and will prove himself "mighty in battle" (see Rev. 19:19-21). When he, the King of Glory, leads captivity captive all of his followers will have a part in that triumphal ntry Robby's Reason for Inquiry. A woman took her little son, Robby, to the corner store for a soda.

Until from this Bame Bethlehem, Coi brought forth David's son. To his owt brethren, Israel, he came, "and hi? own received him not." And thus rt jeciea ny nis brethren ne went to tn cross; down Into the valley of death single-handed, alone, needing no heir from man, and man having none tc give. "Whither 1 eo. ' he. said to th. disciples, as he went to the cross, ' cannot follow me now' Like Davii with the glanS sword, it was through death" that "he made power less him that had the nower of death.' But though alone In death, and in thf awful conflict, not alono at the other side of it. We now behold him a tri umphant Savior, "crowned with glory and honor," but we share with biff all he has earned by his death. Now Jonathan, In common with th' hosts of Israel, had watched the scenr enacted In the valley, had seen the deliverer triumphant at the other side And. his soul knit to the soul of David In loy.e, "he stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave It to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle." NoUmall thing was that: the son of the king, a prince of the blood. giving up all his robes of honor the Insignia of his royalty, In order to place them upon the one he loved: And the spirit of God has written I' down that it may preach to us of an other and of our devotion to him. That wmcu answers to it in me ihr oi "r Christian Is recorded in the third chapter of Phllipplans. The apostle. In the opening verses of that chapter. describes his robes of honor, tells uf what he had to boast about as a man in tho flesh, before his conversion saying, "If nny other man thlnketn that he hath whereof he might trust In the flesh, I more." And that was no vain boast: Paul was writing, as al ways, by the Inspiration of God. And more than any man of his day could he be proud of what he was. But onf day he had a vision of the triumphant Savior at the other side of death, vision that blinded him and made It necessary for him to be led by the hand. Hear him, on the temple stain, recounting It, and saying, "When 1 could not see for the glory of that light!" This Is the effect of that blessed vision ever! 'The man who has seen the face of the exalted Christ has been blinded forever to all other objects and to all the glory of the world, and has found that the onl? safe way fer him Is to be led by the hand. Now, can we not understand that re iterated "consider him" of the eplstlo that tells us of his triumph and ex altation? Like Jonathan in his self abasing love for David, the soul that has seen the blessed face of tbe. one "made sin" for us and now In heaven without our sins, will love him premely and count It his highest Joy to have him magnified in his life. see Jesus, crowned with glory a1"1 honor," aj d because we do we cn say, "that Christ may be magnified my body whether It be by life oi W death.'- Languages of World.
