ITALYS ENTRANCE HOURLY EXPECTED tetention fin office of Premier SalaIn drta Takeni as Indication that, War 'will soon be Declared. London, May 10.-Tlhe King of Italy has refused to accept the resignation of Signor Salandra and the premier and whole war Cabinet retain oflice. This, it is confidently believed here, foreshadows the almost immediate entrance of Italy into the circle of belligerents on the side of the allies. Action, however, may be delayed tin til the meeting of the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, when the pre mier will announce his policy and will receive the support of a majority of the Deputies. Should the expected action of Italy materialize the allies will be in a bet ter position than ever to launch their big offensive movement against Ais tria and Germany, which is being pre ceded on the western front by a se ries of attacks, furnishing a foretaste of what is to come. Scarcely had the German attacks on the British lines around Ypres ex hausted themselves and the French offensive north of Arras show signs of coming to an end that the British became the aggressors north of 141 Bassee and the French and Belgian troops began their attempt to throw the Germans back from the Yser Canal. These attacks, according to the French official account, which, how ever, does not agree with that from Berlin, were successful and again compelled the Germans to counter-at tack-the most costly of all opera tions in siege warfare. Fighting at both points continues today and in Arlois, where the French added a further slight gain to those made dur ing the week, and which combined constitute the biggest forward move ment of either army in the west since the battle of the Marne. Fighting also is in progress in the Woevre, particularly west of the for est of Le Pretre, which the French also won during the past week. There does not appear to be much change in the situation in Galicia, al though the Austro-German armies have been able to make an additional slight advance by the withdrawal of the Russia rear guards, wvhich have been holding off the victorious troops until their own armies could get Jnto new positions behind the San River, This territory promises to be the scene of another big battle for the Russians, strongly reinforced, will make a desperate effort to stem thc tide which has been running sc strongly against them. In the Russian border ifroviices later engagements are occurring inl which both sides claim to have thc advantage. Birds of a Feather.

It was learned yesterday that H. II. Arnold, of Woodruff, now serving his 'fifth term as a member of the house !of representatives from Spartanburg county, may be a candidate for the seat in congress made vacant by the resignation of Joseph T. Johnson. When communicated with yesterday afternoon, Mr. Arnold stated that he was considering making the race, but had not yet definitely decided wheth er or not he would run. Horace L. Bomar, a well known lawyer, of Spartanburg, has also had under consideration the matter of en tering the race for congress. Asked about his possible candidacy yester day afternoon, however, Mr. Biomar stated that while he had been urged by a number of his friends to run, he did not think it likely that he would enter. No positive announcement has yet been had from Alvin -1. Dean, the well known Greenville lawyer, who has been seriously contemplating the race for congress. Meanwhile, the five candidates who have already announced for the posi tion are busy making their aspira tions known among the voters of the district, although the ofilcial cam paign will not open until about July 5 or 6. They are: W. W. Johnson, of Union; Sam J. Nicholls, I. C. Blaekwood and R. J. Gantt, of Spar tanburg, and B. A. Morgan, of Green ville. ** RESOLUTIONS. * *. * ****** * ****.****** We, your committee on resolutions beg to say that we are under such deep obligations for the courtesies ex tended and the warm welcome which we have received on entering the gates of this beautiful city, that we are puzzled to know where to draw the line.

WILSON REVIEWS I AMERICAN FLE:T Says Great Baittleshtips Are Engines to Promote the Interest of iiiaiauan ity. New York, May 17.-President Wil son today reviewed the Atlantic fleet in the Hudson River and at a luncheon tendered to him on shore by the city of New York told a distinguished gathering what the country and its navy stood for. The great battleships that lay in the river, he said, "were engines to promote the interests of humanity". "The inspiring thing about Ameri a," the President asserted, "is that she asks nothing for herself except what she has a right to ask for hu ianity itself. We want no nation's property: we wish to question no na tion's honor; we wish to stand selfish ly in the way of the development of no nation. * * * It is not pretension on our part to say that we are privi-I leged to stand for what every nation would wish to stand for and speaking for those things which all humanity must desire." The spirit which brooded over the river today, said the President, was "Just a solemn evidence that the force of America Is the force of moral prin ciple; that there is not anything else .that she loves, and that there is not anything else for which she will con tend." The President took occasion to pay tribute to Secretary of the Navy Dan iels, who sat beside him. Although the day was damp and chilly, with occasional downpours of rain, the weather abated in no way the en-thusiasm with which New York greeted the head of the nation. In the forenoon he reviewed a land parade of 5,000 sailors and marines, and from the moment he set foot on shore until he returned to the Mayflower to re view the fleet, his progress through the streets was a 'utinuous ovation. lie was plainly tot.,hed by the wel come accorded him. IEverywhere a ;Iirit of patriotism was shown. Many men and women seized every opportunity to tell the President of their support. in the pres ent international crisis. Thousands stood in the chill drizzle while the brigade of sailors and marines march ed uip ;5thu avenue, and during the af ternoon with a cold, damp wind blow ing across the iudson, and thousands n'ore liter thronged vantage points to watch the Mayflower as she passed up the river between the warships. The President's remarks at the luncheon were greeted with tremen (ouls applause. Cures Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't Cure.
