Show WAR IS SPREADING ALL OVEREUROPE REVOLUTIONARY OUTBREAK IN PORTUGAL IN WHICH NAVY ATTACKS THE ARMY. Spain, Switzerland, Holland and Scandinavian Scan-dinavian Countries are Only States In Europe Not Engaged in War or on Verge of War. With the outbreak of a revolution in Portugal, which, according to the dispatches from Madrid is supported by the navy, Spain, Switzerland, Holland Hol-land and the Scandinavian countries are the only states in Europe which are not either engaged in war or have domestic troubles to occupy their attention. Very little news has yet eome through from Lisbon, but it is reported report-ed that the navy has bombarded the capital held by the army, which remains re-mains loyal to the president, Manuel de Arriaga. It is not known whether the insurrection was started by the royalists, but members of that party resident in London disclaim all knowledge of it. Greece, Bulgaria and Roumania, where there are pro-war and anti-war parties( are waiting for the final decision de-cision of Italy as to whether she will join the allies a decision which has been delayed by the resignation of Premier Salandra, who, however, is reported from Rome to be back in office. The prediction is made that Salandra will form a new government, with the support of the leaders of the stronger parties in the chamber. Among the belligerents interest wavers between the battles in Gali-cia, Gali-cia, Flanders and Pas de Calais and the operations in the Dardanelles from which important news regarding the advance of the allies is daily expected. So far as Galicia Is concerned con-cerned the Austro-German rush seems to have exhausted itself when the river San was reached and all the towns on the west bank of that river, including Jaroslau, fell into their hands. This compelled the Rus-sians Rus-sians to fall back in southern Poland, Po-land, so that their line now runs from Plock, on. the lower Vistula, southward south-ward to Przemysl, thence south and east through eastern Galicia and Buk-owina Buk-owina to the Roumanian border. At the latter end of this line the Russians are still pursuing the offensive of-fensive and have driven the Austrans back in disorder for some twenty miles, but they themselves are being forced out of the Carpathian mountains moun-tains and are in danger of losing Przemysl, as the Austrians and Germans Ger-mans are to the north and south of that city. The British appear to have resisted successfully furious German attacks on Ypres, while the Belgians have continued their attacks from the sea to Dixmude and the French have nade further headway north of Arras. |
