WAR BULLETINS
Tarnow’s Parting Appeal.
NEW YORK, May 4.—Before sailing
from this port for Holland today,
Count von Tarnow, the Austrian am
j bassador whose credentials were never
presented, advised his country in a
parting appeal to “honor the land
whose hospitality they enjoy and in
which they earn a liveliood.”
German War Statement.
NEW YORK, May 4 (Compiled by
Associated Press from European ca
bles.)—The German war office an
nounced late today that the British
during yesterday succeeded only in
taking Fresnoy and small portions of
the foremost German trenches near
Bcllecourt The statement says the
Germans captured 1,000 prisoners dur
ing the fighting.
The French annnounced additional
progress in the Champagne region and
also on the Verdun front. Reactiona
ries in Germany, apparently alarmed
by the dominance of the socialists
with their program for peace without
annexations or indemnities, .presented
an interpellation in the reichstag to
the chancellor, demanding that he clar
ify his position.

SEE CLOSER UNION OF
ITALY AND FRANCE
ROME, ITALY, May 4.—National jeal
ousies and artistic rivalries which
have been noticeable barriers in past
years to close co-operation between
Italy and France, are being forgotten
in the stress of the world war and are
giving way to a feeling of close un
ity that may result in a close alliance *
of the two great Latin countries.
This new condition of affairs, which
is being appreciated more fully daily,
was placed squarely before Italy to
day by a significant article published
by the Secolo of Turin. It was head
ed “Union Latina,” and was written
by the distinguished Romolo Caggese.
“Recent events in Russia, in the
United States and in China have fixed
the eyes of the world on the future,”
Caggese asserts. "One hundred mil
lion Germans will occupy Central
Europe. Several square kilometres of
territory stretching across two conti
nents will be peopled by two hundred
million Slavs. To balance such condi
tions a large Latin family, holding pos
sessions between the Channel and Gi
braltar and the Tirreno and the Yonio
must be formed. It must, moreover,
be formed on a firm and sold basis.”
Caggese predicts that the world will
be "dominated by the law of num
bers and racial feelings will become
stronger than they have ever been.”
Otherwise, he says, the results of vic
tory “will amount to nothing,” and
Italy, France and. perhaps, Spain, “will
again fall prey to German rapacity."
He predicts that other races would
hesitate to “buck against a block of
one hundred million Latins.” He fol-j
lows with many reasons why France
and Italy should welcome a firm alli
ance.
The nationalistic Idea Nazionale of
Rome, appears to be editorially cam
paigning for the union of the Latins.
Even South America with its thous
ands of Latin-born people, falls under
the speculative glance of this paper.
There is much speculation as to the
attitude of the present pope. He is
often characterized as “Rompolla’s po
pil,” and Rompolla as cardinal secre
tary of state favored and worked for
a union of Latin nations.
