friend of Mr.. Bonner left New York

that the train did not stop at that sta

said that he could not go against or

At New Haven a halt was made and
Mr.. Bonner's friend tried to bride the
engineer with ten dollar bill. but
in vain. He was then told that Charles

"Why don't you see the conductors"
asked Mr.. Clark.
81 have, but he will not disobey or
ders.'
"Why not then go forward and bride
the engineer?"
81 tried bribery at New Haven. but
it would not work."
The absence of evasion was the best
policy. Mr. Clark not only gave orders
to have the train stopped at Charter
Oak. but promised some day to see
Maud S. He had witnessed the attempt

Of the offense seemed to please him.

BIG NAVAL GUNS.
Death at Times Comes From Merely
Serving Them In Battle.

serving mem IN SattIe.
Modern naval engagements demon
strate that the gunners sometimes die
after the battle, even when they have
not been wounded or injured in any
way. Death is caused by disturbance
of the circulation due to the strain
placed upon the nervous system by the
excitement and the tremendous vibra
tons of modern guns.
Curiously enough. this collapse is
quite as likely to affect the most 70
bust members of the gun crew as the
ones with poorer physiques and bears
no relation to the individuals courage
1t is due to lack of sufficient reserve
power of the heart. which is dependent
upon the quality of the heart muscles
and there is no known means of esti
mating this inherent quality exactly
1t is possible, of course to determine
the force and strength of the heart III
an individual, but only some test. such
as that of actual battle, will determine
the quality of the heart muscles.
Thus the veteran gunner who has
proved his heart quality in actual bat
tie has become Il peculiarly valuable
factor in modern naval warfare.-l.os

Situation of Entente
Forces in Serbia Is
Characterized as Craze

London. Dec. 10.-All the morning
newspapers comment on what they
characterize as the grave situation of
the entente forces in Serbia. The
Saloniki correspondent of the Chron-
icle, describing the Bulgarian attacks.
says:
Fairly important Bulgarian forces
are engaged in the fight much more
resembles that of the previous Balkan
war than the operations now familiar
in France and Flanders. The country
is rough and mountainous and the
mists greatly facilitate what is really
guerilla warfare. on different oc-
casions a suddenly lifting mist has
left the Bulgarians in a very exposed
position close to the British front
which has allowed the British maxims
to get into action and inf1ict heavy
losses. 1 believe that the withdrawal
and alteration of the allied line has
given up nothing of material import
ance, but was undertaken in order to
strengthen the line and place the
troops in less exposed positions dur
ing the cold weather.

from Saloniki to have been issued by
the French general staff on the Balkan
front. The statement quoted by the
Saloniki correspondent is as follows:
We, the French and British. are
retiring for reasons easy to under
stand. In view of the fact that the
Serbian army for the moment is out
OF the reckoning, our presence in Ser
bian territory is no longer necessary.
Bulgarian successes amount to an oc-

CLAIMS BRITAIN
IS TREADING ON
NEUTRAL RIGHTS
Senator Smith Wants Congress
TO Insist That Interference
With Commerce Cease
BY Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 10.-Senator Hoke
the Senate to-day called upon Con-
gress to insist that Great Britain cease
interference with neutral commerce.
He declared that protests by the
American State Department had been
met by increased lawlessness and
trampling upon neutral rights.
"The United States, with other neu-
trail nations, should demand from
Great Britain" said the senator, that
disregard of their rights cease. 1t
may be necessary for the United
States and other neutrals to let Great
Britain understand that mo word or
act will be omitted to enforce their
rights.
Profit From U. S. Goods
British merchants and shippers are
profiting greatly, he asserted, by eX-
porting the very character OF goods
seized when shipped from the United
States to neutral European ports.
''The blockade of neutral ports ts
a deliberate disregard of neutral rights
| by Great Britain" Senator Smith con-
tinued. There can be no pretense
that 1t is sustained by the customs
OIL ndLlOnS. IIdttNl' lhViO ~
nretense. 1t is a bold. reckless dis
regard of that freedom of the seas.
which is the right OF neutrals by the
customs of nations and the rules OF
international law"
Remarking that the relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain had been growing closer Tor
hundred years the senator added: But
we are not q dependency of Great Bri-
tain. Germany, too" he said, al
ways had been a friend of the United
States and many American cltlzens
love that country only second to their
own.
"The United States therefore owes
It to her citizens ana TO her friends
to maintain a real neutrality said
Senator Smith. Neutrals must main
tain their neutral rights to maintain
neutrality. Great Britain may desire
to crush an enemy through the sup
preston of trade but she has no right
TO do it at our loss or to make us the
instrument of 1t"

That is why she didn't want to go to
