Rome, May 18.——The Giornale @'italia, which has been a strong sup- Porter of the Salandra cabinet and AMong the first to advocate mélitary Preparations, publishes a significant article today. “War,” the paper says, “virtually is declared by concord of the king; the government and the nation.

London, May 17.—Hardly had the German attacks on the British lines around Ypres exhibited themselves and the French offensive to the north of Arras shown signs of coming to an end than the British became the ag- gressors to the north of La Bassee, and the French and Belgian troops commenced their attempt to throw the Germans back trom the Yser canal.
