Springfield Rifles Endangered by Fire.

New York, Dec 2s.-Three million
rounds of cartridges, thousands of
Springfield rifles and revolvers and other
weapons were endangered by fire in the

stances, said they learned that the am
munition was bought in this country by
German agents seven months ago, with
the intention OF shipping il TO Germany
by way of South America and a neutral
European port. The plan, they said,
failed, because sailors OF British vessels
refused to engage in work of carrying
ammunition 70 the enemies of Great
Britain.
John H. Patrick, a contractor and own
er OF the building, had police permit
TO store the ammunition and 100000 re-
volvers there.

London, Dec. 2s.--Contact between the
Bulgars and the Italians on the Greek
frontier in southern Albania is hourly
expected The Italian troops, which
landed at Avlona nearly two weeks ago,
have crossed the Albanian mountains and
have reached the Greek boundary. This
expedition is a menace to the lett tiank

through central Albania in pursuit OF the
Serbian remnants. The arrival OF the
Italian force in the fighting zone is re-
ported by the Athens correspondent OF
the London Telegraph.
The Greek outposts are said to have
come i'm contact with the Italians IN Al
bania. The Athens correspondent adds
that Greece has made friendly inquiries
of Italy to ascertain the object of the
extension of her military operations in
Albania. Italy, it is understood, has CIV
en- reassurances.
According to one report, King Con-
stantine has informed Emperor William
that while Germans may have free
hand to attack Saloniea neither Turks
nor Bulgars will be allowed to enter
Greece. Another report has it that the
king will not resist a Bulgar invasion
since Germany has guaranteed that Greek
territory will be respected.
1t is reported from Athens that the
Greek king does not desire any change in
his cabinet until the reassembling of the
Chamber late in January. The present
ministry therefore, will remain in pow
err.

from the toyshop
For many weeks the police and detec-
tives We're at sea for a clue. Detectives
entered the toyshop as employees OF Nor
rison Peaslee, who had taken up the ac-
tive direction OF the business.
One of the detectives finally became
partner with Morrison, They later sold
ont the business in Henniker and re-
moved to Portland. Here, it is said, the
detective so got into Peaslee's confidence
that he brought to light enough To cause
Peaslee's arrest. The police claim that

er denied. Peaslee's wife also denies her
