London says: A state of war now virtually exists between Ltaiy and her former al- lies, Austria land Germany, al- though no formal cde,elaration has yet been made. Austrian troops have been withdrawn from some of the frontier posts and all nevi - gall= services in the Adriatic have been 'suspended. An indication that. the ektsh ss notfar off isthe fact ;that' the Italian Senate endorsed theaction of the Chaanber.ip grant-. ing the Government extraordinary powers in +the event of war, for which the whole country appears to . be enthusiastie.. Unofficial despatches from vari- ous points indicate that great mili- tary a,etavity is proceeding all along the frontier. It is ,stated, in to re- port from Brescia that the Austri- ans ,evidently consider that a state of war between the Dual Monarchy and Italy already exists. The Austrians (have withdrawn their troops and Ou.stoms guard from the frontier at Ponte, Ceffarb and Lodrone ,after destroying the bridges, the telegraph and tele- phone lines and the electric light ,apparatus. Other bridges on the, frontier have been. mined. Frons. Ponta Gaffero and Lodrone two roads pass over the frontier and serve for ,cotmmiunacation between Italy and Austria. On the. neigh- boring mountains Austrian ,artillery can be 'seem.

Peremysi southward to the woody ,swarnips of the Dniester and has Germany there on the defensive, has enabled Iyanoff to externd his line, unbroken from Opatow in South Poland to Kolomea in East Galicia.

An . uti officio l despatch reports the landing of fresh troops on the Asiatic side of the straits --a move designed, doubtless, to prevent the Turks from sending any more rein- forcements from the eastern to the western side. The despatch reads "The allies 'disembarked fresh troops ner Kum` Kale, on •,the A.sia . tic coast of the Dardanelles. It. also has been learned there that the Turks on the Gallipoli Peninsula, who for weeks have lacked artillery ammunition, . have obtained an abundant supply of :shells in the past few days. The following has been received from the Mediterranean force : "General Cox's brigade repulsed with heavy loss an attack on his position made on May 12. A double company of Gurkhas advanced over half a mike. The ground thus won was consolidated during the night in spite of very, strong counter- attacks. The Lancashire territorial divi- sion have made considerable pro- gress. Our howitzer 'battery, with the aid of taeroplanes, blew up the ammunition wagons of the Turkish heavy howitzers, and later made a direct bit on one. of the guns in front of the. Australian and New Zealand army corps. The enemy trenches and a new gun emplace m:ent were demolished by howitzer fire. Every clay sees an improvement in the Anglo-French posation. The enemy are reported as having lost very heavily.

The Prussian Minister at the Vatican has explained that the ac- tion was taken because Great Bri- tarn was not treating German sub- marine prisoners as ordinary pri- soners of war.

A severe sandstorm saved a. Turk- ish detaohmueot from capture or an- nihilation in a battle with British troops along the Karkiheh'Iliver. The British !attacked a Turkish camp at Illah. While the battle was in progress the standstorm broke and the Turks, shielded from sight by the sand oloude, fled aerass the border toward Amara, on ,the Tigris River.

A despatch from London says: The weather being improved on the western front, both the British and French troops have resumed the of- fensi-ee north. of Arras. General Joffre's forces made a brilliantly successful assault on the Loretto shapes, capturing the German forti- fied vocation known as "the White Way." These works are situated on the only remaining ridge of the hill which was still partialy in the position of the •enemy. As a result of the .French success their further advance toward Lens eaniot now be hampered, the entire Lorette hill and the lesser ,ridges which the Germans had defended fleroely for more than six menthe being now held ;by the French. The enemy was also driven from the section of of Ablain, St. Nazaire which linked the "White Way" works to the northern end of the villager still occupied by them. Several hundred prisoners were taken, including nlianerous officers. Quite Remote.

A despatch from Landon says: The Home Office is enforcing new regulations regarding passports. Heretofore it has only been neces- sary for a man to have his own por- trait on his passport. The new re- quirements call for the portraits of wives and children over 14 years of age, The new requirements were first enforced at Liverpool, where sev- eral passengers had difficulty in securing the necessary photographs and haveg them offieially attached to the passport and ,stamped by the tinted States Consul, so that they might be permitted to sail, The Embassy has investigated and found that in the future the new requirements must be strictly adhered to. Through the press the American Embassy has called the attention of all Aanmericans in the United Kingdom to the new rules, and urges them, if the regulations have not been oomplied with, to take the necessary steps without delay by ealling gat the Embassy or at the nearest Consulate with the photographs. Over 400,000 unaddressed letters, postcards, and packets are posted in tho United Kingdom every year. Scented blooms when cut should be laid in cold water for an hour.
