tory evidently began to enter into the
plans OF the Grand Duke Nicholas
when he was appointed viceroy OF the
Caucasus two months ago. The inter
yening time has been amply sufficient
to permit him to direct sudden offen-
siye against the Turks In northern
Persia. It Is apparent that the Turks
have been taken by surprise or there
would have been reports OF battles
being fought by the grand dukes ad-
vancing troops.
Probably the Ottomans have grown
careless and have permitted d1scl'
pline to deteriorate. during the long
months of inactivity after their occu-
patton of the Persian territory. Doubt
less too, the demand for ammunition
on the Gal1ipoli peninsula and in
Thrace has seriously depleted the
supply in Persia. The Grand Duke
Nicholas under these conditions might
we'll have rushed an expeditionary
corps to within forty-fve miles of Te-
heran without meeting serious resist
ance.
! If the Turkish troops continue inef-
fective and if Teheran falls to the
new viceroy Of the Caucasus the
grand duke will have largely wiped
out the disgrace OF his recent removal
from tho supreme command of the
Russian armies.
The victory will be very fmpor-
tant one for Russia and must cause
serious depression to the TURKISH
government at Constanttnopn.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Dr. josef
Goricar Is accused OF secretly plot
ting with Russian and Serbian agents
with the intent of disseminating dis
loyalty among Austro-Hungarian emil
grants, in statement issued today
by the Austrian embassy.
. The statement follows:
"Ex- Consul DR.. Goricar. formerly of
San Francisco, had been on leave of
absence at the time OF the outbreak
Of the war and had been temporarily
attached to the Austrian-Hungarian
consulate general in Berlin. There,
very soon afterward, he obtained
knowledge about his secret connec-
tions with the enemies Of Austria Hun
gary and evidently fearing detection.
he suddenly left his post without per-
mission and disappeared. Later on
it was learned that he had gone to
Italy and was staying in Rome, where
upon he rendered his resignation,
thereby preventing his dismissal.
while in Rome 1t was ascertained
that he was in close communications
with Russian and Servia agents. obyi-
ously with the purpose of going to
the United States with the purpose OF
using his knowledge in centers of
Slavic immigration coming from the
monarchies in the service Of the Pan
Slavic propaganda and with the inten-
ton of diss eminating disloyalty among
our Immigrants against their country
of birth. The garian en-
bassy has been Informed that quite a
number Of southern S1avs from the
monarchy have been enlisted by the
,oant. of tho allies and left this cOtln-
try in order to fight against Austro-
Hungary. It is very prob able that
DR.. Goricar's activity contributed to
these very regrettable acts of trea-
son which certainly without changing
the outcome Of the war. will be Of
the gravest consequence for those who
will be made prisoners Of war
"The ustro-Hungarian embassy
has been informed for several months
of DR.. Goricar's agitatory propaganda
carried on in this country, but has re-
framed until now from taking coun-
ter measures, being aware Of the dis
grace brought about by the fact that
a former consular officer has broken
in such way the faith and allegiance
of his fatherland. In view, however,
of these present statements which
contain the strongest accusations
against the representatives Of Austro-
Hungary, the embassy emphatically
declares these accusations as false
and absolutely baseless, as silence
otherwise would be taken as acknow-
ledgement and would create belief
that our consulates actually engaged
in activities in violation Of the laws
of this country
