Minister to Belgium Arrives in New
York Wednesday.

Brand Whitlock, American minis
ter to Belgium, and Mrs. Whitlock
were met by delegation from Toll
edo, o., headed by Charles N. Milroy,
mayor-elect, when they landed at
New York Wednesday from the
steamer Ryndham. Mr.. Whitlock said

boarded the ship at Rotterdam, he
felt much improved.
Mr.. Whitlock and his wife expect

will go to Ohio. The diplomat said
that he would sail December % to
take up his duties in Belgium again.

declined to discuss any incidents or
phases Of the war.

mines shortly after sailing from Rot
terdam. The first day out the vessel
ran into terrific storm which swept
away the two large electric signs
which gave the vessels name and
hailing port. A portion Of the bride
also was carried away and several
lifeboats were smashed.

CHINA STAYS OUT
President Of New Republic Adverse
to Joining the Allies.

The informal suggestion Of the
Entente powers that China join the
Allies, thus solidifying the Far East,
has not been well received by Presi-
dert Yuan Shi Kai, who is not will
ing to abandon neutrality and sacri-
fce German good will. Japan appar-
emily has rot participated in the sug-
gestion which is believed to be OF
British origin.
Eki Hioki, japanese minister to
China, has returned to PeAing and
visited the foreign office. He said
he brought no demands upon China
and would not present for further
consideration at this time group five
Of the original demands which were
deferred for future consideration at
the time the others were accepted by
the Chinese government.
This group relates to the employ
ment of japanese advisers in politi-
cal financial or military affairs, the
employment of japanese to reorgan-
ize the police force, the purchase
from Japan of munitions Of war and
the propagation of Buddhism in
China by japanese subjects.

BALKANS LACK FOOD
Teutons Say NoHtenegrins and Serbs
Lack Necessary Food.

Berlin reports by wireless: The
Overseas News agency says Of the
situation in the Balkans:
1.-THE defeated Servian army drags
slowly along over snoW-coVered
mountain trails, accompanied by q
large number Of women. children and
aged persons. The Serbians already
have crossed the Montenegrin from
tier, but inaSmuch as Montenegro al
ready is suffering from lack of food,
it is extremely difficult to care for
the newcomers. Frequently Monte
negrin patrols approach the Austrian
vanguard and beg for bread.
"Cn account OF these conditions
increasing numbers Of Serbians are
returning as deserters into Old. Ser
bia, which is now completely in the
hands of the Austro-German forces"

SUBS ARE NEEDED
SMALL BOATS TO BE CONDEMN.
Ed BY NAVAL BOARD
FAIL TO GUARD COAST
Recent Manoeuvres Show That the
Small Underwater Boats are Utter
ly Incapable of Adequately De-
Tending Coast Of Country From
Active Enemy.

Abandonment Of the present coast
defense type of submarines in favor
Of larger seagoing submersibles may
be recommended by the navy depart
ment as a result Of knowledge gained
in the recent manoeuyres of the At
'lantic fleet and unofficial tnforma-
ton concerning the size Of under
water craft now in service in Europe.
There are indications that the
United States is;-lagging behind in sub
marine development, even in the case
Of the 1,000-ton vessel nearing COM
pletion. Navy officials nave been
particularly impressed by the appar-
ent probability that a submarine Of
1,500 tons has been used in the war
fare against allied merchantmen.
The recent trip of the fleet OF small
submarines from Honolulu, requiring
II days, during which numerous diff
dculties were encountered, causing
unusual delays, is probably another
argument to be used in favor Of the
larger and more powerful submers-
ibIes.
Should an enemy get within 100
or so miles of the coast, some officers
| argue, he could guard his fighting
force with a screen of mine sTeepers,
destroyers and aeroplaness which
| would render the chances OF attack
ing his capital ships -ery uncertain.
Far at sea, however, the screen could
not be maintained.
| For the purposessof the recent ma
noeuvres Admiral Fletcher placed his
submarines in reserve ready to strike
north or south as the movements OF
the red hostile fleet 200 miles Off
shore might necessitate. One Of the
- boats could not reach its station
as it would not steer properly. The
other II managed to carry out their
orders. Later the blue commander
discovered that his red enemy was
sweeping to southwark. He ordered
the submarines south to intercept the
fees. It took six hours to convey
this order to one OF the ssubm bles.
| Finally the flotillas. started south
ward but could make less than half
the speed required to bring it to Its.
appointed station on time. Nayiga-
ton was accomplished only by dead
reckoning, for with their vessels
closed tight and tumbling about In
water, the officers could not verify
their position. They were so miles
or more out Of position at the con-
clusion Of the trip and the red trans
ports and convoy swept through the
hole they left and landed troops on
American soil.
No decision has been made, but the
value of submarine as small as the
present type, even for coast defense,
is being seriously considered. There
are more than 70 boats Of 500 tons
or less displacement now built or
building for the navy.
The view has been presented that
with larger submarines the dffficul-
ties of navigation at sea would be re-
.duced, greater speed attained and the
efficiency Of the boats for, purposes
such as that Of the manoeuvres In.
creased proportionately.

Party and Go to Europe.
Henry Ford Thursday night gave
out copies Of replies he had received
to kilograms sent to one hundred
prominent persons asking them to

knife.
Tuesday all were invited to view
an X-ray photograph. 1t showed a

than he has been able to do. The ambi-
tious project Of overwhelming the entire
Russian neld force as well as capturing
the Polish capital is now appearing to be
a mighty undertaking even for the Ger
mans to accomplish. Warsaw may fall'
but there is no evidence that the Slavs
viii be annihlated.
Unquestionably the Russian defensive
power was underestimated at Berlin after
the success Of the Galician drive. The
Germans we're encouraged to hope that
another Sedan, on a far vaster scale
might be won in the Eastern war arena.
But, IL any prophesy is safe concerning
the present Polish operations, 1t Is that
the Grand Duke Nicholas will save mis-
armies even IL he doesn't save Warsaw
After the present operations come to an
end, however, whether Warsaw falls or
not the offensive power of the Russians
will be destroyed for long time TO come
Nevertheless, the possibility of Its re-
vival at n later date must remain unless
the Germans succeed in annihilating the
slav forces by enormous captures of men
and stores This fate the Grand Duke
Nicholas Is escaping and probably Will
continue to escape as long as Won Mack
ensens army is prevented from closing
in on the railway lines running back from
Warsaw.

UNDERGROUND WIRING
PROPOSED BY MAYOR
Will Ask Councils to Pass Ordi-

Overhead System.

In an effort to have unsightly telephone
and telegraph poles removed from the
streets Mayor Blankenburg Will request
Councils TO pass an ordinance with that
end in view when the city legislature re-
conveues In october
The measure would provide that the
removal be under the supervision Of the
Chief of the Electrical Bureau; that all
wires and poles designated by him after
January l. 1917 be removed; that one
years notice be given the parties owning
or maintaining such wires and poles. and
that such parties shall not be forced TO
remove the wires and poles from moro
than 20 miles of streets within one year,
The measure also would provide for
imposition OF penalty OF $50 a day on
parties falling TO comply with the pro-
visions OF the ordinance.
Trolley poles and wires, and those used
for lamps, fire alarm boxes, street tele-
phones, police patrol boxes and signal
boxes are exempt under the provisions
of the proposed ordinance.
Clayton w. pike, chief OF the Electrical
Bureau, estimates that there are 1900
miles OF wire along the streets of this
city, and that II those running over
were included there would be
enough overhead wiring to encirc,e the

The need for achievements to press
home the operations against Warsaw Is
causing an important change IN the Ger
man campaign IN tho Baltic provinces.
instead Of continuing to advance along
the Baltic coast, the Germans are moving
into the interior and are retracing the
direction of their original advance in
order to attack the chief Warsaw line
that runs from Petrograd.
This curtailment of the Baltic plan OF
operations has been made necessary by
the strong resistance the Russians are
developing about Warsaw. The Germans
are discovering again, as they found after
the division Of their forces at Demberg,
that II il not yet wise to develop too
many simultaneous offensives against the
Slavs. The Baltic campaign was intended
originally to confuse the Russians and TO
create a diversion favorable to the main
German offensive against Warsaw. The
effect, however, has been primarily to
weaken the German assaults in Poland
by decreasing the number of men avail
able for the Narew, Bug and Vistula OPP
erations.
There can be little doubt but that the
Germans expected Warsaw to fall before
this, and In particular expected Marshal
Won Mackensen TO make better progress
