A dispatch to the Central News from Rome,, dated Tuesday, says: "The Giornale dItalia announces that Prince von Buelow, the German ambassador and Baron von Mocchio, the special ambassador of Austria have demanded their passports. The newspaper adds that the staffs of the German and Austrian consulates will leave Rome Tuesday evening." London Dispatch, 18th. The next few days, if not hours, it is believed, will find Italy renouncing her old allies of the triple alliance and joining the triple entente powers as a belligerent. At the same time some cjiange is expected in the government of Great Britain. The German imperial chancellor in the reichstag to-day outlined offers made to Italy as to the price of her continued neutrality, and while he jsaid he had not entirely given up hope that peace would be maintained among the powers of the triple al liance, he left no impression on the mind of his hearers that the end of the alliance, so far as Italy is con cerned, is far off. Object of Proposed Changes. It is anticipated that expected changes in the government of Great Britain are aimed at a closer con solidation of all the parties for the purpose of harrying the war to a suc cessful issue.

New York Dispatch, 17th. . President Wilson today reviewed the Atlantic fleet in the Hudson river and J at a luncheon tendered 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 Amer ica," the President asserted, " is that she asks nothing for herself except what she has a right to ask for hu manity itself. We want no nation's prosperity; we wish to question no nation's honor; we wish to stand self ishly in the way of development of no nation. . It is not pretention on our part to say that we are privi leged to stand for what every nation would wish to stand for and speak ing for those things which all human ity must desire.'V The spirit which brooded over the river to-day, said the President, was "just as solemn evidence that the force of America is the force of moral principle, that there is not anything else 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 enthusiasm with which New Germany's Reply Expected To-Day iNEWS ITEMS OF INTEREST. Nothing Yet Official Yet" Given But Reports are That Ger many Will Decline to Modify Submarine Methods. A Paris dispatch of the 18th says: Germany's reply to the American note on submarine warfare will be sent to the United States Thursday, according to the Matin's Amsterdam" correspondent. The correspondent says that Germany's reply will justify the submarine attack on the Lusi tania on the ground that only one torpedo was fired, and that the sec ond explosion on the liner was due to the fact that the Lusitania was car rying munitions of war. The submarine commander's re port, it is stated, that the torpedo was fired in such a way that the Lusi tania would not have sunk if there had not been explosives aboard. The Matin's correspondent says it is reported in Amsterdam that Ger many will throw the responsibility for the disaster on the English gov ernment and on American authorities who permitted passengers to embark on a ship which carried explosives. It is believed in Holland that Ger many will decline to modify her me thods of submarine warfare. of the unionist, Irish and labor parties York greeted the head of the nation. will be taken into a -Cabinet or ad mitted into the committee of im perial defense has not been made known.

Dr. Bernard Dernburg, former Ger man Colonial Secretary and known as unofficial spokesman in this country for the German cause, has voluntarily decided to leave the United States in view of the critical turn in the rela tions between this country and Ger many. The action of Doctor Dernburg re- leived the President of an embarrass ing situation for it is known that he strongly disapproved of Doctor Dern- burg's utterances justifying the sink ing of the Lusitania and officials con sidered examining the statutes of the United States to determine what legal method might be invoked to end Doc tor Dernburg's activity. 4 Sunday.
