MOVEMENT TO SEND
FOOD TO GERMANY

New York, Nov. 17.-An organized
movement to aid the civilian popula.
ton Of Germany and Austria by send
ing food from the United States was
launched here by a ''citizens' commit
tee for food Shipment" consisting OF
forty-fve physicians, clergymen and
prominent women. The organization
has provided for branch committees
throughout the country. Dr.. Henry
j. Wolf is chairman of the committee.
The committees announcement says
Germany has for many years de-
pended upon us for large quantities
of lard and wheat and is the principal
purchaser of our cottonseed meal for
the support of her vast herds of cattle.
The shutting off of our exports of cot
tonseed meal curtailed the milk sup
ply and created problems in the feed
ing of children that are becoming in
creasingly acute.
"Our government has declared that
the present English blockade is in
effective, illegal and indefensible,' and
that it is entirely within the rights OF
any citizen of the United States to
deal with civilian Germans in food
stuffs and these rights are not mere
ly privileges.'

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 17.-Thirty-on
men were killed in the Northwestern
improvement company's coal mine at
Ravensdale, thirty-fve miles south
east of Seattle, as the result of an ex-

One, John Errington, laborer, was
dead when found, but the others were
revived by the use of pulmotors.
Rescue parties are working to reach
the men still unaccounted for, who
are believed entombed in the third

Additional rescue teams sent from
Roslyn and Gle Elum, 100 miles east,
have reached Ravensdale..

the lower level because part of the
power plant was not working, blew
the top off the main hoist house,

ATTITUDE OF GREECE

London, Nov 17.-With the increas.
ing gravity from the allies viewpoint
of the military situation in Serbia the
attitude of Greece toward the armies
of the entente powers has become a
matter of deepest concern and an ef-
fort is being made to induce the Greek
government to define it's intentions.
1t is said the presence at Saloniki
of large number of French and Brit
ish warships with transports has
made some impression on King Con-
stantine and his advisers. But with
SO much at stake, nothing short of
positive guarantee of the safety of the
French, British and Serbian troops,
should they be compelled by circum-

One is that the normal rate of I

CONCEALED TO SAVE SERBIA
Invention of Professor Pupin Of Co.
Iumba University.

New York, Nov. 17.-Because his
invention might be useful to the enc
mics of his country (Serbia) Profes.
sor Michael l. Pupin of Columbia uni
versity, who is honorary Serbian con-
sui general to the United States, told
the members of the National Academy
of Sciences at their fall meeting here
that he will not make public until the
war is over the secret of the receiver
for use in wireless telegraphy and
telephony by which static interference
can be eliminated.
The1few instrument, Professor Pu-
pin claims, is the one thing needed to
make possible the transmission of
wireless messages between any two
points on the earth's surface. By it's
use, the inventor says, the receiver
can be made to record only those
sound waves which the operator de-
sires to hear.

left in the world free from the
hideous, bloody burden of war-is

Rosebery, presiding at the Rhodes

burden will continue on the other ma
tons and be increased exactly in pro-
portion to the fleet of the United

prospect that the United States, so
remote from the European conflict,
should voluntarily in these days take
up the burden, which after this war
will be found to have broken, or al
most broken, our backs"

Washington, Nov. 17.-Ambassador
Penfield, at Vienna, was instructed by
cable to ask the Austro- Hungarian
foreign office for a statement in detail
Of the circumstances of the torpedo
ing of the Italian liner Ancona in the
Mediterranean last week with loss
of several American lives
This action was taken upon the
presentation by the Austrian embassy
here to Secretary Lansing of a COM
munication from the Vienna admiral
ty, saying an Austrian submarine sank
the Ancona, and asserting that ample
time for the passengers and crew to
escape was afforded.
Until responsibility for the action
of the submarine, which, it had been
reported, was of German nationality,
was thus officially assumed, the Amer
lean government withheld formal in
quiry at Vienna.
Ambassador Penfeld was sent what
is known as an informal instruction
to discuss the case orally with repre-
senatives of the Austrian government
to obtain details supplementary to
those transmitted by the embassy.
The undetermined points on which
the American government now seeks
information are:
Did the submarine fire a warning
shot?
Did the submarine cease firing when
the Ancona came to a stop?
Question of Saving Life.

gers and crew to get into the life.

FATAL FIRE AT RACETRACK
One Man and Twenty Horses Perish
in Blaze. ~

Washington, Now, 17.-One man
was burned to death and three others
were probably injured fatally as the
result OF fire at historic Benning
racetrack, in the suburbs of Wash
ington, which, in addition to destroy
ing fourteen of the stables and other
structures, burned to death at least
twenty valuable horses.
Estimates placed the losses on the
buildings, horses and equipment at
about $4,000.
While the track had not been used
since 1908, having been turned into a
winter home and training ground for
horses, the stables were filled.
Among the stables destroyed was
that of August Belmont. although
none of his horses was on the ground
at the time.

of the tasks congress will be asked to

This was one Of the subjects dis

Prosecutions for conspiracies of this
sort cannot be undertaken in state
