Exeter Advocate, 1915-5-27, Page 7ITALY TO ENTER THE WA A Vote of 407 to 74 on. Bill Authorizing War Measures A despatch from Rome saga:: Italy took the first definite step to- ward her entry into the European war on the side of the allies Thurs- day when, by a vote of 407 to 74 of the deputies present at the re- opening of Parliament, full power was granted to the Government to deal with all public matters after the declaration of war against Aus- tria,, and authorizing the neces- sary extraordinary expenditure. It was reported from Milan that the Austrian fleet at Pole, the Aus- trian naval base in the Adriatic, is under steam and waiting only the actual outbreak of hostilities to proceed. to Venice and bombard that ancient eity. Ixi autieipation of .Meeh an action the ,authorities for several weeks have been en- gaged in removing the art tree,- eures from the galleries and churches of Venice. e The movement of Italian troops toward the northern and eastern frontiers proceeds apace. Gen Cadorna, the chief of staff, is at ,Vicenza to take full •counoand of the 1,700,000 soldiers now in the northern zone. Passenger traffic on the railroads leading to the Aus- trian frontiers has been reduced to: a minimum. Fifty express and slow trains have been suppressed in the South, 'wile in Central and Northern Italy not even freight trains are running. the lines being devoted exclusively to mi1itary tr:an.port. Italian refugees from Pole report that the Austrian police broke into their houses and seized their furni- ture. Practically the entire male population of the port, the refugees said, has been pressed into military service, and the women and ehil- dren of Italian nationality fear they will be placed ilkdetention eanips or in prison. Martial law has been proclaimed all along the littoral. Italian citizens who left Fiume for Venice on May 11 were seen off by a large crowd, who shouted, "Como back soon."

A despatch from London says: The Home Office is enforcing new regulations regarding passports. Heretofore it has only been neces- sary for a titan 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 havng them officially attached to the passport and stamped by the Unted 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 Ernbassy has called the attention of all Americans in the United Kingdoin to the. new rules, and urges them, if the regulations have not been complied with, to take the necessary steps without delay by calling gat the Embassy or at the neereast Consulate with the photographs. • 41 Practising apothecarieaa are ex- empt from service on juries, FAILURE OF TIDE CAMi'AIGI Has No Reserves to Support Gen.

BOMBS DROPPED UPON PEREfYSL Great Battle in the East Is ('en- tered Around the Galician Fortress. A despatch from Lond„n eayse Fighting of the greatest intensity v4 vents a:ng at almost ever, point on the SOO-stile seeding of the Rus- sian battle front -in South Poland and Middle Galicia. The region of. Jaroslau, on the San to the north cif Peremysl, continues, however, to be the principal storm centre. At this point, taring forces of Gler- mana have ewarmed acmes the river .end established themselves clung the former Russian fortified, line. Peremysl has been bombard- ed from the air. The communications of Peremysl with Lemberg and the main Rus- sian army appear to be still intact, according to the latest official in- formation from Petrograd, the Ger- mans not having succeeded so foe itx carrying the apex of their wedge across the San into the territory to the east of the fortress. South of Jaroslau, warding to the Russian communication, the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas c lava pressedthe. enemy somewhat on both banks of the San," showingthat the Rus- sians at least are holding their own in this section. Before Pererny.sI itself, and further south, incessant attacks have been made by the en- emy, who succeeded in taking sev- eral advanced Russian trenches at one point in the northern foothills of the Carpathians. Beyond the Central Galician bat- tle region, on the Bukowine, front, the Austrians have made a series of attacks, all of which have been re- pulsed with great loss, and the Rus- sians appear to be continuing their offensive with considerable success.

With the ex- ceptien of the German newspapers the various other foreign language newspapers of t -he city are uniting in a demand that the Board of ldn- eati4,n either cause the page In the speller containing the eulogistic text on the Kaiser be eut out, or to have the entire edition of the speller destroyed.

It must be understood that no guarantee of the delivery of either parcels or letters can be given and that the Post Office aeeepts no responsibility. In any ease, een- siderable delay may take place, and failure to receive an acknowledge- ment should not necessarily be taken- as an indication that letters and parcels sent have not been de- livered. 9. So far as is known, prisoners of war in Germany are allowed to write letters or postcards from time to time; but they may not always have facilities for doing so, and the fact that no communication is re. eeived from them need not give rise to anxiety.

(100A PROGRESS IN DARDANELLES Strong Positions Still Bar Allies' "Way to the Narrows, However. A despatch. from London says t. Steady progress by the allied troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula is re. ported, although they .apparently have not yet captured the Turkish positions which bar their way to the Narrows of the Dardanelles. An unoff eiaal despatfih report the landing of fresh troops on the Asiatic side of the straits -a !stove designed, doubtless, to prevent the Turks from sending any more rein- foreelnents from the eastern to the western side. The despatch reads; "The allies disembarked fresh troops ner Kum Kale, on the Asia, - tie coast of the Dardanelles. It! also has been learned there that the Turks on the Gallipoli Peninsula, who for weeks have baked artillery ammunition, have obtained au abundhnt supply of shells in the past few days. The following has been received. from the Mediterranean force: "General ('ox's brigade repulsed with heavy loss an attack 4►n his position made on May 12. A double company of Gurkhas advanced over half a, mile. The ground thus won was ernaulidated during the night in spite of very strong eyounter- attacks.
