Paris, Oct. 18.-The Marseilles
correspondent of the Petit Journal
telegraphs that the mail boat Eugene
Peroire arrived there with thirty
three members of the crew of the
French steamer Admiral Hamelin,
which was sunk by submarine.
Previous reports from a Havas cor
respondent said that seventy-one
persons perished when the steamer
went down. The Petit Journal says
the Admiral Hamelin was torpedoed
without warning, and that while the
passengers and crew were being plac-
ed in lifeboats, an Austrian SUBJ
marine fired forty shells into the
sinking vessel.

Russian and Italian help is con-
fined to increased aggressiveness
against the Teutons, making the di-
version of more troops to the Balkans
by the Germanic allies impractical.
The Germans are again attacking
the Russians southeast of Riga. This
is regarded as an effort to draw at
tention from Dvinsk and Gsllicia.

ABOUT TO JOIN THE ALLIES

Athens, Oct. 18.-The energetic ac-
tions Of the Entente allies and the act
ual hostilities between Bulgaria and
Serbia apparently is defining rapid
ly the attitude of the Greek anti
war party. There is good authority
for the statement that King Constan-
tine is preparing to go to Saloniki and
it is said Greece will abandon her
neutrality when concentration of
troops is complete and army arrange
ments are completed.
The impression prevails here that
Roumania will soon ally herself with
the Entente allies.

Important Town Occupied by
the Allies
EVIDENT THAT GREECE AND ROUMANIA CANT LONG KEEP
OUT OF IT
(AssOciated Press)

London, Oct. 18.-The occupation
of Strumitza, Bulgaria, by allied
forces, was confirmed by an Exchange
Telegraph Athens dispatch this morn
ing.
Strumitza is an important town in
that part of Macedonia which was
ceded to the Bulgarians in 1913. 1t
is about 70 miles north of Saloniki,
and perhaps twenty miles east of the
railway from Saloniki up into Serbia
that the allies are fighting to main
tain. The attack on this town shows
that the allies have not abandoned
Servia; also, that they are sure of
their communications thru Greek
territory.
The British, French and Serbians
have joined forces in the Balkans.
Operations are being conducted vigo-
rously.
Anglo-French forces just about the
time of the outbreak of hostilities be-
tween Serbia and Bulgaria were hur-
ried north from Saloniki to Gievgeli,
east of Strumitza. Apparently they
are carrying out the previously re-
ported plan of invading Bulgaria in
addition to assisting Serbia in holding
the Bulgarians back.

Plans for New Britain Mcriden Trolley
 Progressing Rapidly-Sons of Vet !, er"i9 '' A'o opA
 Music, Speaking and Dancing.

Plans for the building of the new trolley, or rather storage battery line between New Britain and Meriden via Kensington are moving rapidly. At meeting of the New Britain, Kensing- ton and Meriden Street Railroad com- pany, held in the Chamber of Com mErce rooms in New Britain on Mon 6ay evening of this week, H. Fl. Spooner was appointed to choose two residents of this town to act on the committee for raising enough money to take care of the first mortgage bonds. This morning MT. Spooner an nounced his choice to be Charles F. Lewis and Judge Willard I. filling.
 .when interviewed this morning, MT. Spooner said he had given much thought as to who would be the best men in the town to appoint on the committed He consulted several prominent citizens on the matter and the consensus of opinion was that Messrs Lewis and filling would make ideal members. MT. Lewis was named Because of his connection with the American Paper Goods company and because of his affiliation with the plan of the proposed line since it's 1ncep- ton. He is thoroughly acquainted with all that has been done in the mat ter, being one of the incorporators of the company Judge filling was 3chosen because he is one of the largest property owners on the route over
 which the line will run. The citizens of Blue Hills were strongly in favor of the selection of Judge filling. The selections of MT. Spooner met With much favorable comment about town this morning.
 Members of the committee from New Britain will be chosen by E. Allan Moore and from Meriden by H. Wales Lines. The committee will hold it's first meeting Saturday afternoon and discuss plans for raising the necessary money to finance the project. Just at s present there seems to be a division s of opinion whether it would be better 10 have the line run from the end ofthe Arch street trolley line of the Con- necticut company or to join the latter { company's line at Upson's corner. In either case the line will run by the Paper Goods factory and through Blue Hills to Meriden. This question will be decided by the committee at its meeting Saturday. The charter of the company gives it the right to run from either place.
 There is much enthusiasm in Ken sington over the plans and the resi- dents hope the line will be in opera tiaa before another winter rolls around. ....-
