WASHINGTON STILL
 WITHOUT FACTS 0N ANC0NA DISASTER
Not Definitely Known If Any American Lives Lost
 When Ship Torpedoed.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The state department tonight is still without definite information as to whether the Italian liner Ancona was sent to the bottom by an Austrian or a German submarine, without warning.
 Likewise, the department has not learned positively what Americans, if any, lost their lives in the disas- ter. It was made plain by Secretary of State Lansing that no decision re- garding the action of this govern ment will be reached until reports of the diplomatic mad consular repre- sentatives have cleared up the entire matter.
 In the last 36 hours, only one cable on the Ancona sinking has arrived at the state department. It was from Ambassador Page at Rome, and was so badly "bulled" in transmits sion that officials were unable to de- cipher it's meaning sufficiently to thrown any new light on the sltua- tion

URGES WILSON TO ACT.
David Starr Jordan 'leIIs President Warring Nations Ready for Peace.

, Washington, Nov. 12.-ravid Starr Jordan, chancellor of Leland Stan ford university and head of the In ternational Peace congress recently held in San Francisco, told President Wilson today that a quasi-officia meeting of neutral nations probably will be held some time before Christ mas, either at The Hague, Berne ol Copenha gen, to attempt to brinf about peace in Europe. Dr.. Jordan conveyed to President Wilson a reso- lution from the peace congress urging him to cooperate with other neu- trals in calling such a conference.
 In statement laid before the president by Dr. Jordan. it was de- c1ared that as a result of recent mis- sions to the governments of the war ring nations. it could be stated that while the nations at war were not willing themselves to begin negotia- tions for peace, there is absolute evidence that those charged with the administration of. the foreign nolicies of these nations would welcome. or at least not oppose, affirmative ac- llCll UN d llCuLI dI dsoSISy tC oi III t- about peace based on internation- al justice"
 Dr. Jordan said peace advocates had learned from unofficial sources in Holland. Sweden, Switzerland Denmark and Spain that those coun- tries would be glad to take part in any movement to further the cause of peace.
 Dr. Jordan took the position that it would be more natural for the EsArO- pean neutrals to invite the United States to participate in the peace conference than for the United States to issue the invitation. He said that an unofficial meeting of peace advo- cates would be held at Berne De- cember 4, at which plans for bring ing about peace would be discussed, and would be attended by people from the United States.
 The idea of the quasi-official peace conference is that it would constitute a voluntary court of continuous medi- ation; would invite suggestions for settlement from each of the warning nations, and, in any case, would sub init simultaneously to all of them reasonable proposals as a basis of peace.
 Dr. Jordan did not reveal what President Wilson said to him. but the president several times has talk en the position that he will be glad to do anything of practical nature to end the war.
 The Christmas season is the natur- al time to talk peace. Dr. Jordan de- clared, and therefore he is expect ing the plans of the peace advocates to take definite form about that time.

MAY FREE SERVIA.
Entente Powers Pouring Troops Into
 Little Balkan State.

London. Nov. 12.-Two great bat ties are in progress in Servia. One is on the left bank of the MOrava river, where the German advance has
 been temporarily checked. The oth- CT is in the south in the vicinity of veles, where the AngloFrench forces
 have come in contact with the in- vading Bulgarians.
 Saloniki dispatches report that the French have inflicted serious de- feat on the Bulgars, and that the recapture of Veles is imminent. It is now possible, military experts point out, that the Anglo-French- Servian army may capture the rail- road as far as 'Uskub.
 If they should succeed in this, the Rulgarians would have to abandon all their gains in that region, and all
 of southern Servia would be cleared
 Of the invaders.
 The Austro-Germans and Bulgari-
 ans are making great efforts to cut
 off or to crush the Servian army west
 and south of Nishh, but the plight
 of the Serbs, military experts here
 assert, is not so desperate as has
 been stated.
 The Serbs are now on their own selected ground, in the mountain | fastenesses, where the country is
 greatly Tn their favor and a senUus obstacle to the invaders. It is necessary only that they should hold out little longer, as l tho entente powers are pouring troops into Saloniki 'in greatly in-
 creased numbers, and few days. it
 is said, may enable the allies to es-
 tablish the connection with the Ser | vian army, now almost surrounded.
 Much will depend on' the outcome of
 the two big battles ndw in progress. | Refugees from Monastir, who fled
 on approach o fthe Bulgarians, are
 now returning; that city and Prilep
 are resuming their normal appear
 ance. and all danger there is regard

 ering Followers.

ElPaso, Texas, NOV. 12-Ninety-two IT embers of small Villa garrison at Gallegcs, Chihuahua, who recently deserted and turned bandits, were brought to Juarez this afternoon by a detachment of Villa cavalry.
 Although Officials are reticent con corning tho probable fate of these men, it is though likely that they will all be executed as a bloody objec. lesson to the soldiers now waverlng in the allegiance to Villa.
 Juarez military authorities admit having executed several of tha leaders"
 The capture cf this group has re- moved temporarily, at least, the fear Of commanding officers in Juarez that the garrison there might mutiny and join Carranza.

Russian Losses in Galicia,

The Austro-German success in
Galicia, where the Russian lines have
been steadily forced back for some
time, eliminates in the reeapture Of
Peremysl, which was lately taken
from the Austrians after protracted
siege. This is an important conquest,
although Petrograd proclaims it to be
of no advantage to the Teuton;c
armies. 1t is stated that the Austro-
German plan is to press the Russians
farther eastward, so as to put them
in a position where they will for a
time be unable to assume an aggres-
sive, in order that sufficient forces
may be detached to deal with the
Italians. Meanwhile another drive
against Warsaw is developing.
Since the outset of the war Russia
has swept to and fro in the eastern
fighting zone, now advancing, now

San Marino in the Ring.

San Marino's declaration OF war
against Austria is of no great conse-
quence except to San Marino itself
Conditions prevented San Marine
from remaining neutral. AS a neu-
tral Austria might have used its ter
ritory as base of aerial operations
perhaps, but this would Immediately
without question, have cost San Ma
rino its independence. for Italy would
doubtless have closed i'll and envel-
oped the little republic that has re
mained for centuries immune in the
midst OF Italian territory. San Ma
rino's alignment with Italy was
therefore, measure of se1f-preser-
vation. and cannot add relatively d
feathers weight in the scales of the
campaign.

illegal traffic it is important for the
grand jury to ascertain whether the
telephone company is III a position
to check it by diseontinuance OF serv-
ice when suspicion is aroused or by
the refusal of service when the ma
ture of the business is in doubt
In some Of the cases recently
brought to light telephone equip
ment was found in circumstances to
leave no possible question as to the
character of the service that was ex-
pected when the installation was
made. 1t is urged on behalf of the
telephone company that it is help
less in the premises. inasmuch as be-
ing a common carrier it is compelled
to furnish service on application, and
it cannot listen in" to ascertain the
nature OF the business transacted.
As matter of fact, it is we'll known
that the traffic over the wires is con-
stantly under supervision, and the
belief obtains that the telephone COM
pany can be if it is not aware of the
nature of the business transacted
over every one Of its lines.
All these matters are proper sub
jects for the grand jury to investi-
gate, with a view, if possible, to shut
off the supply Of information from
the race gamblers, who in the face Of
the most stringent prohibitions Of
law persist in their game.

Baggage Valuation.

The new regulations just put into
effect under the Cunmins law re-
garding the valuation of interstate
baggage will probably for a time
cause some confusion at railroad sta
tions. and perhaps lead to the miss
ing OF trains. Under the new statute
interstate passengers must declare
the value of their baggage before re-
ceiving checks and pay at the rate
of 10 cents for every 500 of value
over the. permitted SIoo Thus a
trunk containing property worth $500
will cost the sender 40 cents. Hereto
fore baggage losses were chargeable
against the railroad companies only
up TO the extent OF SIoo, but now full
losses may be recovered on proof,
and the tax of 10 cents for every
hundred over the first hundred dol
lars is an assessment to stand as an
insurance premium to protect the
company against subsequent claims.
Without question this new rule will
work out satisfactorily as soon as
the travelling public becomes aecus-
toned TO it. The incidental delays
in declaring and signing and paying
excess fees are to be reckoned as
part of the time of getting to the
train.

retreating, losing enormously, but ap-
parently inficting heavy damage
upon her enemies. The real inn
portance of these operations lies i'll
the wastage involved. If the Rus
slams possess the great reserves of
men and munitions accredited to
them they can withstand the success
sive defeats that they have suffered,
while the losses of the Austrians and
Germans are likely to be a serious
drain that must affect the Teutonic
campaign in regions where territorial
advance is of far more consequence
than in the eastern field. If, however,
Russia does not possess such re-
serves, the losses inflicted upon them
in Galicia are of vital consequence to
Germany and Austria, which cannot
hope to win the war SO long as Rus
sia stands as a formidable menace
on the eastern flank

To Probe the Race Gamble Game.

An investigation of the handbook
business by the District grand jury
is planned to begin at once and to
continue until the entire field of this
form OF gambling has been covered.
1t is believed that information has
now been obtained, through the re-
cent raids conducted by the Depart
ment OF Justice, to permit search
ing inquiry that will yield results.
The most important question to be
determined is the means available to
the race track gamblers for receiv-
ing information of the race results,
and also in the placing of bets. 1t is
generally understood that the tele-
phone is chiefly employed for this
purposeA and inasmuch as this is an
