ACTIONS
TO DRAW PROTEST
REoUislTIoNING OF VESSELS
WITHOUT PRIZE COURT YER
DICT OBJECTED TO.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 3-vigorous
representations will be made to Great
Britain by the United States against
the requisitioning of the American
steamship Hooking without prize court
proceedings This became known to-
day after the receipt Of official con-
firmation from American Consul Gen
eral Young at Halifax of reports that
the Hooking had Deen held.
The ship has been detained at Hall
fax since her seizure by British
warship while enroute from New
York to Norfolk AMBASSADOR Page
at London had already been instructed
to make vigorous protest If unofficial
reports that Great Britain intended to
requisition the hooking were found to
be true. 1t is supposed here that he
had received confirmation in London,
although no word had come from him
early today.
The representations probably will
include the cases of two other Ameri.
can steamers, the Genesee, requisi-
toned at st. Lucia, West Indies, and
the Kankakee, which will be requisi.
toned.

SCHEDULED TO SAIL ON
SWEDISH SHIP.

navian-American liner Oscar II, on
which Henry Ford has taken passage
for his peace expedition to The
Hague, will leave New York tomorrow
afternoon on schedule time, according

Chr1stiania by December IA or Is.
Concerning the possibility that British
warships might take the steamer to
Kirkwall, he said that few Of the lines
steamers had been taken there recent
ly, as the British government has been
content with stopping the vessels of
the north coast Of Scotland and send
ing an officer on board to examine the
passenger and cargo manifests.

CARGO
SENT TO BOTTOM

London, Dec. 3.-The British steam
ship Langton Hall has been sunk. Part
Of her crew has reached land. The
Langton Hall Is evidently another vic.
tim of the submarine campaign in the
Mediterranean. She left Calcutta Oct.
% for Philadelphia and New York and
was reported at Suez on Nov. %. She
was owned by the Hall line Of Liver
pool, was 377 feet long, built in 1905
and Of 4,437 tons gross.
Philadelphia, Dec. 3.-Agents in this
city of the British steamer Langton
Hall, sunk in the Mediterranean war
zone, said that the vessel was heavily
loaded with general cargo made up
mostly of jute, goat and other skins,
burlap and cocoanut oil. These car
goes are usually very valuable and it
is believed the Langton Halls was
worth about a half million dollars.
The fact that the Langton Hall had
been sunk was privately known in
marine insurance circles here yester.
day, but nothing was permitted to
reach the public until today's press
cable message arrived.

MoNAsrIR OCCUPIED.

Monastir, the southern Serbian city
whose fate has been in doubt for days,
Il now apparently in the hands of an
Austro- German force. A Saloniki dis
patch giving this news says that the
Austrian flag was raised when the
city was occupied and that the Bull
garians did not enter.
The Montenegrins admit the evacu-
alton Of Plevlje, in northeastern Mon
tenegro, the occupation Of which has
been claimed In Austro-G German re-
ports.
Quiet has prevailed on the French
front, Paris reports.
Fog and rain have halted intensive
operations against Gorilla. Rome re-
ports the repulse of surprise attacks
by the Austrians on positions recent
ly taken by the Italians.
Snow is ten feet deep IN the eau
casus zone of operations, according
to a Constantinople official report,
which records the continuation of &C
ton against the Russians under these
adverse conditions.

South Side Business Men
Feel That It Would Be
Fine for the City
OTHER PLACES ARE
NOTICING IT, TOO
Centerville and Kirkville
Papers Endorse Move
as a Good One

John Hansell and w. H. Mynard arc
two south side business men VINO
look with favor upon the proposed
fair or exposition to be held In Ottum-
wa for all southern Iowa and northern
Missouri
They view it from the standpoint OF
being good thing for the entire COM
munity and everyone living within
those boundaries. The excellent grade
of stock, farm products and other ex-
hibits which the people OF these
sections would be able to show for
only tho carrying of them to the ex-
hibition place is one point in it's favor
they say. Another is the exceptional
railroad facilities which Ottumwa Is
able to offer. This combined with the
present day good roads would make
the matter of travel very small one
and these men think that people could
easily come here from sections rad1at-
ing 100 miles from this city.
IT have been thinking great deal
about this movement and can't see
why it won't be the greatest thing
that we have ever had in this city" !"
says Mr.. Hansell. There Is abso-
lutely nothing to lose by it and every
thing to gain. II we can just get peo-
pie to talking and thinking about our
city then we will 60 ahead, we are
bound to, we can't help it. Now here
we are right in the midst of one Of
the richest farming communities IN
the great middle west. All we have
to do is to bring our goods to the
showing place and get them in order
and there they are all ready to be
looked at, speculated upon and talked
about by the hundreds who will come.
We won't need to worry about getting
people here, they will come; there is
always something about fair which
makes everybody happy and you all
feel like you want to know each
other.''
That other places are beginning to
notice the movement as 1t has been
suggested is shown in the papers from
different towns The Centerville
Iowegian has the following:
"Ottumwa is busy with fair pro
position. Their fair played out about
the same time as CenterviIle. They
are ambitious, however, to make it
more than county fair, as they want
1t to cover scope Of territory extend
ing into northern Missouri"
The Kirkville Enterprise praises the
project in the following: "The much
talked about combination fair is the
right move in the right direction and
Ottumwa the best place on earth to
hold real fair. It would certainly
boom the country around about and
make Ottumwa more famous as a
city that does things in earnest Put
Whoop'er along boys.'

GREEKS AROUSE
FRENCH SUSPICION

Paris, Dec. 3.-The prolonged silence
of the Greek parliament respecting
the demands Of the entente allies has
again aroused the suspicion Of the
French press. One newspaper goes
so far as to assert that Greece has
concluded or is about to conclude a
treaty with Bulgaria by the terms Of
which Monastir and the Vardar valley
in Serbia are "ceded" to Greece in re-
turn for aid against the Anglo-French
expeditionary forces.
French correspondents at Saloniki
indicate that the Bulgarians, notwith-
standing promises made by the Ger
mans that Bulgars would not enter
Monastir, have resolved to take that
city, which is their real objective,
realizing that the Germans are not In
a position to stop them.

a revised amendment to the rules

Report From Saloniki Says
Soldiers of Gar Have

NO CONFIRMATION
OF RUMOR AT HAND
Teutons Enter Monastir and
Plant Austrian Flag, Is
Report in England

London, Dec. S.-"News that the
Russians have entered Bulgaria has
aroused intense interest and there is
much speculation as to the next de-
velopment," Reuters correspondent at
Saloniki telegraphs. 1T is expected
this move will have far reaching
effect on the internal situation OF
Bulgaria and will modify the whole
aspect Of affairs in the Balkans"
No direct and specific information
has been received in London Of this
message. It Is recalled, however, that
last week Emperor Nicholas was said
to have promised Premier Pachitch of
Serbia, the appearance Of a Russian
army IN Bulgaria within week.
It has been assumed that Rus
sian concentration near the Rouman-
ian border was for use in Balkan
operations, but Rumania's continued
neutrality had blocked their passage
by land or by way of the Danube into
Bulgaria, IL one were intended by such
routes. There have been no recent
indications of q Russian move by
water.

WAYS SUGGESTED
TO BETTER LOT OF
AMERICAN FARMER
CONFERENCE At CHICAGO RE-
coMMENDs PLAN TO AID IN
RURAL CREDITS.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Representattves OF
forty-six states and Canadian prov
inces, who attended the national con-
ference on marketing and farm credits
issued a statement today embodying
a score of recommendations to con-
gress urging its cooperation IN improv-
ing conditions affecting the American
farmer.
The statement asked the appoint
ment by congress Of commission OF
five members to investigate the re-
suits of land settlement in the west
and other sections Of the country to
remove the obstacles to acquiring
farms and the notifications needed In
successful land settlement systems OF
other countries to insure their success
full operation in the United States.
Existing conditions in the irrigation
sections Of the country could be cor
rected, the statement added, by the
enactment Of legislation by the states,
or by the nation which would provide
money to be loaned to settlers to aid
in the preparation Of public land for
cultivation.
The conference. It was set forth,
will strongly oppose any plan that will
end mainly in real estate speculation
and increase in land values to the dis
advantage of settlers.
"Any plan for aiding settlers" the
statement said, "by a better system of
rural credits, should be preceded by
an effective plan for preventing an
increase of land Values
The department Of agriculture was
urged to establish standards Of meas
ure and quality for all merchantable
farm products.
