No Special Privilege to Greece

Confusing Reports From the Balkans. Teu
tons Making Progress but Very Slowly.
London, Nov. 28.-Instead of
declaring a general blockade of
the Greek ports, the Allies have,
according to q statement issued by
the British Fore ign Cfice today,
withdrawn, or threatened to with
draw the special privileges which
Greek commerce has enjoyed since
the outbreak of the war.
What these special privileges
are is not specifically stated but
as an example Greece has been al.
lowed to draw her supplies of coal
from Welsh collieris. To do this,
Greek merchants required special
permits, a. the exports of coal
from the British isles il allowed
only under a special license.
There are many other commo-
dities, the export of which is per.
mitted only to certain countries.
Invariably when orders have been
issued against the exports of such
commodities Greece has been
among the countries excepted.
Now, unless she comedies the de-
mands made by the Allies for as
surances for the safety of their
troops in the Balkans, Greece will
be struck off the list of countries
which have these privileges.
While !this less vigorous 'atti'
tude on the part of the Allied
Governments has caused some dis.
satisfaction in quarters where
strong measures are advocated, it
has eased the situation, and the
belief now prevails that Greece,
having been impressed by Lord
Kitchener's visit and the threat
to her commerce, will ooncede the
demands.
OF the fighting in the Balkans
the reports are more confusing
than ever. The German accounts
still claim progress for the Austro.
German and Bulgarian troops and
recount the capture of thousands
of prisoners and many guns from
the Serbians. Bus from the
towns mentioned their advance
appears very slow. 1t may be as
reported from Italian sources,
shat the campaign is waiting on a
change in the disposition of the
armies, 10 that the Germans may
be the first to enter Monastir.
This would avoid the trouble like.
ly to arise through Greek objec.
ton to Bulgarian occupation of
the city which is near their Dor.
der.
Dispatches from Athens, how
ever. state that the delay Is due
to the fact that the Serbians have
defeated the Bulgarians who were
advancing on the town and that
the Serbians have reoocupied their
front on the Velss-Pr ilep line
Perhaps the real reason for the
slowness of the invadsrs' progress
arises from difficulties of trans.
port.
Nothing of Importance has oc-
CURED on the other fronts. The
Austro-Germsns, according to
Russian reports attempted an of.
fensivs in Galicia and actually
moved some advanced guards
across the Stripa but since then
no news has been received, the
Germans apparently not consid-
ering the operation worthy of
mention in their official report.
In the West the artillery is still
active and the arrival Of clear.
GOLD weather may make possible
an offensive movement by one
side or the other. The Gsrmsns
t reported to have brought large
reinforcements to Flanders but
whether for offensive Or defensive

SIGNAL CORPS WILL INSTALL TELEPHONES.

At the suggestion of Lieutenant Dougherty, the war department has approved the suggestion of putting auxiliary telephones along the Valdez trail, as feeders to the telegraph line. The telephones are not for any commercial business, but simply for use of the maintenance of the line. A year ago this winter one of the signal corps men was frozen to death on the Valdez trail while out repair ing the line. Had the auxiliary tel ephones been installed as now con- templated, it is more than likely that his life would have been saved. Lieut.. Dougherty sent these facts and much other data in support of his recom- mendation for the installation of the auxiliary telephones and when it reached the chief signal officer 1t was approved and he was requested to state where he wished the phones stationed. He was also asked to give his reasons for installing tele- phone in each case.
 He recommended that the McCar- ty station be connected. by telephone with Birch Lake, and also with Beaps cache; that Donnelly station be con- nected with Miller's roadhouse; that Paxson station be connected with Meier's roadhouse; that Beaver Dam station be connected with Ptarmigan Drop roadhouse; and that Valdez station be connected with Comfort roadhouse.
 With telephones installed at these places it would then be possible to discover more quickly where breaks might occur.
 In the vicinity of the Rapids road house the course of the telegraph line has been changed for distance of almost 12 miles. Formerly the line did not follow the course of the trail which made it difficult in win ter to make any necessary repairs. The construction work has been in charge of Corporal Mcfarland. who was forlerly located in Fair banks, and who was later sergeant major at Fort Gibbon.
 Lieut.. Dougherty will remain in Fairbanks for a few days, checking over the property and accounts of the wireless and city offices.

WHAT WAR IS COSTING
 ENGLAND FOR SHELLS.

This is war of artillery. Shells and shrapnel are being used on a scale for in excess of the calcula- tions of the most far-seeing military experts of Europe. That is why the French and Kitchener are asking for more shells and still more shells; for a great proportion of the $1OO a minute which this war is costing is being blown away by our big guns.
 To fire single shot from our big gest guns cost $40OO and some idea of the expenditure of naval firing can be gained from the fact that one famous battleship could use up $10O,O0O worth of ammunition per minute if she worked all her guns at full blast, as she would do if it was necessary. And to this huge outlay must be added that the cost of the gun, remembering that the largest weapon has a very short life and is soon worn out The most ex- 
 pensive gun we use is the 15-inch, though other big guns runs up heavy ammunition bills. For instance $500 vanishes in flame and smoke every time a 135 weapon is fired.
 The guns which expend $5000 worth of ammunition every time they are fired are really wonderful pieces of artillery. They can hurl a ton weight of explosive shells over a distance of thirty miles with the certainty of hitting any spot they aim at The power and velocity of the shot is such that on leaving the gun 1t has force enough to go right through 57 inches of wrought iron. F The 12-inch gun can eat up we'll over $500 worth of ammunition per minute. For a 9.9 it is approxi- mately $50; for 7.5 inch under $1OO, and for a 6-inch about $60. -Tid-Bits.
