SINKING OF ANCONA
CAUSES TROUBLE
PROSPECTS OF A SATISFACTORY
SETTLEMENT WITH AUSTRIA
GIVEN A SETBACK.
Austria Holds That the Ancona Case
Comes In the Same Category as the
Lusitsnia Case, Which Is Still the
Subject Of Negotiations.

Washington.-Th prospect of a sat
isfactory settlement of the controversy
with Austria over the sinking OF the
Ancona was given setback on Fri
day when confidential information was
received In Washington as to the at
titude of the Austrian government.
The possibility of break between the
two governments was at once revived.
The communications from Austria,
which came through diplomatic chan
nels, purport to give also an outline of
the probable reply of the Austrian
government.
According to these advices Austria
holds that the Ancona case comes in
the same category as the Lusitania
gotiations between the United States
and Germany. The reason for this, It
is stated, is that Austria has never
given instructions to the commanders
Of her submarines to observe the
rules of recognized international law
as the United States and Germany
both understand them at the present
time, which provide that vessels shall
not be torpedoed without full warning
and without provision for the safety
of every person on board.
This has come as a shock to officials
of this government, inasmuch as it in
dicates that the commander in torpe-
doing the Ancona without waiting for
all passengers and members of the
crew to take to the boats. was acting
under general authority of his govern
ment.

Il Is Announced That Permanent
Board VIII be Backed by Mr.. Ford
TO the Extent Of Two Million

Stockholm--Delighte over what
they described as their sympathetic
reception in Sweden, the members Of
the Henry Ford peace party on Mon
day considered the possibility OF re-
turning to Stockholm, instead of re-
naming at The Hague, when a perma-
nent peace commission Is formed.
Many prominent citizens of Stock
holm. including the mayor, have visit
ed the executive committee and tend
cred an unofficial invitation to the
expedition to make Stockholm the
center of such peace negotiations as
may arise. The Ford delegates an
nounced on Monday that the plan had
been considered favorably, but they
would withhold final decision on 1t.
The entire expedition, however, will
go to Copenhagen and The Hague,
as already has been planned. At The
Hague three or more delegates from
each country will be selected, and
this board, constituting Mr.. Ford's
idea of a permanent arbitration board,
will sit indefinitely either at The
Hague or in Stockholm.
Mr. Ford on Monday sent a wire
less dispatch from the steamer on
which he Is bound for New York. He
said he was improving In health and
wished success for the expedition.

GERMANS TO CROSS
THE GREEK BORDER
HOLIDAY LULL IN WORLD WAR
LIKELY FIRST TO BE BROKEN
ON THE BALKAN FRONT.
Guarantees Demanded Of Central
Powers by Greek Government
Germans Assure Serblans They
VIII Respect Nationality.

IQndon.-Dispatche from the CONT
nent predict that the holiday lull will
frst be broken on the Balkan front,
where Greek observers believe the
central powers are preparing a huge
army for operations directed against
the entente.
Whether this will take the form OF
an actual attack on Saloniki, or
merely an advance into Greece for
the purpose OF Selling strategic de-
fensive positions is matter of keen
speculation in Athens.
According to one correspondent, the
Greek government has definitely de-
cided not to permit the enemies OF the
entente to penetrate Greek territory,
unless the central powers satisfactor-
lily guarantee that Greek territory will
not be endangered.
According TO dispatches from Ser
bian source, the Germans have estab-
lished a provisional government at
Nish, withdrawing all the Bulgarian
and Austrian troops and ending Bull
garian-Austrian interference in the ad.
ministration of Serbian affairs. 1t Is
added that proclamations have been
issued, announcing that the Germans
will respect Serbian nationality.
One OF the most interesting Of the
reports came through Athens to the
effect that on Friday German artillery
on Lake Dorian, about forty miles
northwest of Saliniki, was Smelling
the Anglo-French lines in Greek
Macedonia, which the allies are con-
tinuing to fortify. This might easily
mean that the looked for advance by
the forces of the central powers
against the allied base at Saloniki was
about to begin.
The Montenegro official commune
cation states that the Austrians are
intrenching on a front between Mon
tenegro and Serbia, which British OBJ
servers take to mean pause In the
active Austrian campaign against the
little mountain country presumably to
enable the Austrian forces to be
turned to more pressing matters on
other fronts.

not being important enough to record.
The German account mentioned only
mining operations, in which the Ger
mas blew up works which were under
construction in front of their lines.
In the Dardanelles the Turkish guns
have been busy and according to Con-
stantinople, have done considerable
execution recently against the allies
trenches and lines of communication.
In Persia, the Russians are declared
to have severely damaged the Persian
insurgents in a battle twenty-five
miles from Teheran. Along the Rus
sian front itself the fighting accord
ing to Berlin, has been limited to pa
troll engagements.
A quietus has been put on the talk
Of huge German peace campaign
from Zurich by the departure from
that town of Prince Won Buelow and
his staff OF secretaries, OF which much
has been heard in the entente press
during the past few days.

London.-The people of London
spent Christmas in depressing at
mosphere of fog and rain. The city
was filed with soldiers, many thou
sands of mud,stained veterans from
the trenches having received a short
holiday leave.
The last of these men on furlough
arrived at the London terminal as
late as midday, having been delayed
by a rough passage across the chan
mel, which left many of them still
pale and miserable when they reached
London.
The great charitable institutions
celebrated the day with tremendous
energy. There was ample provision
for lonesome soldiers, both home and
colonial, for the wounded, for prison
ers and interned aliens, and for the
wives and families of the men at the
front.
