W ASHINGTON. May K Two Im
portant factor. It became known to
night, are working to delay for an
other week Germany's reply to the
American, not of May IS, sent aa a
consequence of the Lttaltaula dtsaater.
First, the next few days are ex
ported to deride whether Germany
will ba confronted with a new mili
tary altuatton by tha entrance of Italy
Into th war aad the rutting off of all
upplle through th Mediterranean.
Pmmil, Intel Oated Diplomatist here
bellev the Interim of delay will re
veal whether the United State of It
own Initiative will send a general pro
teat lo the alllea with respect to their
alleged Violations of International law
by Interfering with commerce between
American porta and neutral countries
of Europe.
Officials here generally think the
Ausiro-Iiallan situation may absorb
the attention of the German govern
ment during thia week and delay the
final composition of the reply. Such
Information as the United States gov
ernment recently has received Is of a
positive nature.' Indicating that Italy
will soon enter tho war, though In
AuBtro-Gcrroan quarter here there
till Is confidence that break will be
averted.
It ia realized that should Italy be
come A belligerent Gormany would
lose all hope of securing foodstuffs or
other supplies through the Mediter
ranean and If Roumanla followed
Italy's lead, aa predicted, the wheat
supply from Southeastern Europe
would be cut off. In such circum
stances of almost complete Isolation,
It was explained In diplomatic quar
ters, Gormany would find the subma
rine even more Invaluable a weapon
for reducing enemy supplies and com-
mcrce.
The idea that the United States
will send a note to the allies seeking
modifications of tholr order In council
has its origin In quarters whero the
conviction Is held that such a move at
this time would demonstrate to Ger
many the Intention or too United
States to be equally hlgorous in an In
sistence on the observance of neutral
rights by Groat llrituln and her allies,
making unnecessary an offer by Ger
many to return to tho maritime rules

likewise.

quarter that Germany I even d-lr-
o't for Italy to enter Into boatllltlea.

would enable Germany to withdraw

ACTION IS EXPECTED
AGAINST 1LWAUKIE
Suit will probably be filed in the
circuit court here In a few days on
complaint from the Minthorne Springs
Water company asking that Milwaukie
be restrained from supplying the terri
tory occupied by this water company's
plant until its property has been con
demned and acquired by the city of
Milwaukie. It is alleged that the com
pany received a franchise In 1909 to
supply water in Milwaukie east of the
Southern Pacific tracks: that a section
of the franchise reserved to the city
to purchase at any time, and if the
price could not be agreed on to con
demn the property of the company.
The company claims that it has spent
$10,000 on this plant which may be de
preciated or confiscated.
The supreme court decided against
the Milwaukie Water company a sim
ilar case on appeal and the city is go
ing ahead with the new municipal wa
ter plant.
