Americans Do Not Like Germany's Reply

Italians Full of Enthusiasm.

Young Turks Party Talk about Peace.

There is some highly gratifying news in to-day's cablegrams. In an important message from a London correspondent who made it his special business along the French front to investigate) the supply of shells ho states tliat the reports of shortage are greatly exaggerated. Ho and other authorities state that the shortage scare, was purely political, and traceable to personal quarrels. The shame of it!- From Petrograd comes a report indicating the tremendous conflict going on along the eastern- front, where there is an enormous expenditure of .shells. Our forces continue to make progress along the Gallipoli Peninsula, where , the allied fleet is rendering great aid. The British Admiralty has made adequate provision to meet the threat of the enemy to send submarines 'against the Suez Canal. The Turkish leaders are quarrelling amongst themselves as to possibilities of making peace. The Americans are very uneasy, and are naturally very much disgruntled over the latest reply from Germany. Also comes the news that the British Admiralty has been fully justified in searching American ships for contraband of war. There is a, message telling what the use of the X-ray disclosed. The Italians are meeting wi + !i little resistance from the Austriaus. The Dutch are again uneasy, and the Allies are happy in the success of their forward movement.
