ADMIRALTY APPROVES SINK
ING THE ANCONA

Vienna, Dec. 16.-The Austro-Ger-
man admiralty is entirely opposed to
any disavowal of the course of the
submarine commander responsible for
the sinking of the Italian liner An
coma. The admiralty approves his
conduct thoroughly. The admiralty
declares that the commander would
have been considered as failing to
perform his duty if he allowed the
Ancona to escape. The reply to the
American note, it is understood, has
been delivered.

ON THE VARIOUS FRONTS

It seems fairly well settled that the
Bulgarians do not intend to invade
Greece, an action which would likely
cause dissensions in that country
which already is uneasy over the Bull
garian occupation of Monastir. Also
it is not believed that Austrians and
Germans have sufficient troops avail
able to attack the entente allies.
The speculation naturally has to do
with the Germans and their intentions.
They are variously reported to be con-
centrated near Monastir and Doiran
and on the Rumanian border and as
preparing for an attempt to drive the
entente allies from the Gallipoli pen
insula. All these reports lack confr-
nation.
One thing seems certain to the mil
itary observers-that the Germans
will have to keep close tsh on the
Rumanian side, not only - of
the danger of that country ering
the war against them, but to meet
the threat of a Russian invasion thru
Rumania, which although little has
been said of it recently has not been
lost sight of.
/ Wherever the Germans move they
will find the entente allies prepared.
Saloniki is being made stronger daily
land has the backing of warships, as
/ also has the Gallipoli peninsula, where
THE entente positions likewise have
! been strengthened. The Russians are
believed by the military authorities to
be able to cope with any army the
Teutonic powers can collect on the
Rumanian border, while Egypt, which
/ l. said to be another of their objec-
tives, also has been placed in state
of defense.
There are many persons who believe
that the Germans purpose to rest on
their laurels in the near east for the
time being and make bid for victory
on the western front. Persistent re-
ports come from Holland of the con-
/ centration Of German armies in Bel
GUM and Luxembourg with the inten-
ton of striking blow as soon as the
ground permits it. At the present
moment the greater part of the coun-
try is sea of mud.
/ The reported concentration of Ger
mans doubtless accounts for the army
air raids which the entente allies are
making behind the German lines.
Gen. Townshend reports the re-
pulse of further Turkish attacks
against the British position at Kut-
El-Amara, Mesopotamia.
/ There have been no changes in the
situation of any of the fronts.
