THE WAR TODAY

an Athens dispatch to London
filed yesterday casts some douht
upon the unofficial reports that
Monastir is in the hands OF the
BuIgarians. The dispatch report
ed a Serbian advance at Monastir
and added that the Intentions to-
wards M0naStir of the BnIgarians
who had occupied Prelepe we're
unknown. London, however. ac-
cepts the report of Monassir's fall
as probably authentic.
The situation with the Serbian
army is less serious than most re-
ports have indicated, according TO
persons recently at the front Lon
don news agency dispatch from
Athens states. The troops are de.
ciared to be retreating in perfect
order aud to have retained their
modern artillery virtually intact.
4 desperate battle on the CarsO
plateau in which the Italians cap
turad an Austrian position and re-
tanned possession of il, although
once driven out and afterwards Vi
olentIy attacked, is reported by
Rome.
Italian guns continue to sweep
the Austrian deienses oil G0rixja
in an intense b0mbardment.
The comparative quiet prevail
ing on the western battle front is
indicated by the Paris report to-
day which mentions only artillery
exchanges and grenade fighting.

ADVERTISE FOR
SUBMARINE BIDS
Navy Department to Ask for Prices on
Building Monster Under-Sea
Craft.

Washington. D. c., Nov 20.-The two
new feet submarines, bids for which
will soon be advertised by the navy de-
partment will exceed the Schley now
the worlds biggest underwater craft,
so far as is known, by 300 tons dis
placement. They will be 1900 tons
craft on the surface as against the
schley's 1000 and exceed by 200 tons
the biggest of the cruiser destroyers
of the navy.
Congress gave navy designers hard
task when it said that these two new
feet submarines should have surface
speed Of rs knots an hour 'if possible "
The Schley will be q 20 knot boat when
completed and will have more than
four thousand horse power furnished
by heavy oil engines. Experiments in
the navy model basin with models of
the new craft show that they will re-
quire between 5000 and 10000 horse
power to make the additional five
knots.
No internal combustion engines to
go in the space available ana furnish
the power required could be found for
the boats. and the specifications to be
advertised will propose vessels fitted
with steam turbines for surface work,
although the same storage battery and
electric motor installation as in
smaller craft will be used below the
surface.
The boats will mount disappearing
guns for surface action, the new four
inch weapon of this type probably be-
ing submitted for the 3-inch gun on
smaller submarines. They will prob
ably carry two guns each and the gun
carriages have been so designed as to
permit the guns TO be aimed straight
up in the air as a defense against air
craft.

LIKELY SPLIT

San Francisco, Nov. 20.-The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in the closing
sessions of IT'S 35th annual convention
today faced the problem OF healing a
breach in its ranks that developed at
the session last night and which, in
the language Of prominent officers and
delegates, threatened the disruption Of
the organization.
Trouble arose over consideration Of
"a resolution that it had been adopted,
would have meant the loss Of the 200,-
600 members of the federation. The
resolution. offered by the adjustment
committee. called for the suspension of
the United Brotherhood OF Carpenters
and Joiners, the second largest inter
national organization.
The resolution to withdraw the
charter Of tn carpenters union was the
iresult Of the failure of the organiza-
I ton to refrain from alleged encroach-
ling or jurisdiction awarded the ma
chinists, coupled with the carpenters
unions attitude toward the federation.
In the course Of the debate Samuel
Gompers. president of the federation,
said:
We are not safe from dsintegration
and failure if We lose sight Of the
ideals of human brotherhood
John B. Lannon. opposing the expul-
sion Of the carpenters, said:
We are not safe from disruption"
Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the
sailors union of the Pacific coast, de-
clared his belief that the carpenters
union was deliberately seeking to com
pei the federation to withdraw the
charter
During the hour in which charges
were hurled at them and speaker after
speaker tainted them with bad faith.
the big delegation of carpenters sat
silent.
The carpenters union was accused
of repairing. dismanteling and setting
up machinery in buildings in various
cities, and with claiming the right to
do such work, in defiance of the ex-
press commands of the federation con-
yention in Philadelphia last year.
Furuseth in his speech said:
Il prefer the charge that the claim
put forth by the carpenters is put up
specifically and purposely to bring
about expulsion
George L. Berry. president of the
printing pressmen's union, offered a
substitute for the adjustment commit
tees resolution, He moved that a com
mittee Of FIVE Representatives Of inter-
national unions with President Comp
ers. be selected to attend the conyen-
ton Of the carpenters and try to get
them TO recede from the stand they have
taken. Berry's substitute was carried.
The program today called for the
presentation of more than fifty reso-
lutions and for the election of officers.
1t was not anticipated that any candi-
date would be named in opposition to
President Gompers for reelection.

Probable Pitching Selec-
tion for Today-Shore Is
Carrigan's Choice.

The Athletics celebrate their return
home today by meeting Bill Carrigan's
disorganzed Red Sox. When the Red
Sox appeared here last they were con-
sidered almost certain pennant winners.
hut friction in the club and lack of condi-
ton in tho pitching department have at
least temporarily erased the Boston club
from the list of pennant cOntenders.
There is NO denying that the Red sox
have a strong club and one that will still
be in the running IL it gets back to its
natural stride, but the attitude of the
players is not helping Manager Carrigan
to straighten out his machine. President
Lannin is travelling with the club, but
denies strenuously the charge of Dutch"
Leonard that he is interfering with Car
rigans mana cement of the team or that
he personally chides the players for each
defeat.
The most likely pitching selection for
today's game is Ernie Shore the giant
speed merchant who twlrled the opening
game of the season here. while opposed
to him will be Herb Pennock, who has
beaten the Red SoX twice this season.
CRrrigans team appears to be particu-
larly easy for Pennock for some reason,
and It Is likely that he will have two
chances against them during the present
series
