WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 19.-As
the result of the disclosure that the
keel of neither of the new battleships
authorized at the recent session of con-
gress can be laid until late in next
summer, has created considerable stir
in official circles here, and as conse-
quence congress may be asked to
Place a temporary embargo on steel
exports to European countries. The
American mills, it appears, are all
rushed to fill orders previously placed
by European governments and in the
manufacture of articles for export
To South America, thus making it man
ifestly impossible to supply steel re-
ouired by the government in the con-
struction of new ships.
Recent bids submitted by private
shipyards for construction of the new
ly authorized battleships so far ex-
ceeded government estimates as to
cause surprise, but it was not thought
American steel mills were so rushed
with foreign business as to make i'm
possible the furnishing of all material
needed by the government for its ma
val and military uses. The two new
ships are to be built in government
shipyards,. in accordance with the de-
cision of the general staff, several
days ago.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels today
gave expression to surprise at the at
tude assumed by the American steel
mills, and is now at work seeking q
solution of the difficulty presented. In
event the mills find it impossible to
supply the needed materials, the Sec
rotary limited this afternoon that con-
gress might be asked to place an tenn
porary embargo on steel exports. This
action will be taken, it is asserted, on
lv in the event the mills cannot be in
diced to give preference to govern
ment orders for steel.

Americus sportsmen are in high
glee.
The "open season" for partridges

begins Saturday, November Goth to-
morrow and thereafter hunters who
have paid the stipend and received the
canvas-covered licenses from Game
Warden McMath will be privileged to
bag their lawful quota of birds.
The season for squirrels has been

real shooting season in Georgia be-
gins with the lifting of the ban against
the slaughter of partridges, and the
the break of dawn tomorrow will find
many Americus and Sumter sportsmen
afield. Prize hunting dogs, after long
idleness are eager for the hunt, and
tonight's supper in many Americus
homes will witness the first serving
OF cartridges in several months.
The crop of birds this season is re-
ported as unusually large, and hunt
tiers here who have been looking over
the field in anticipation of the open"
season have located many splendid
eGveys that will be decimated during
today.

What London Says.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-The fate of Mon
istir is not yet definitely known, but
tt ere remains little hope the city will
escape falling into the hands of the
invading Bulgarians There is bare
possibility, however, that the Bulgar
ians will not dare to make such an ex-
tension of their battle lines, with the
French forces apparently established
solidly along their flank positions. This
is the slender hope upon which London
optimists pin their faith in the ability
OF the Serbians to retain possession If
Macedonia's chief city.
Left in the dark regarding actual
progress of the Entente Allies in their
campaign against the Bulgars and
Teutons in the near east, the British
public today can only hope that the
British and French will soon have
such strong forces in the Balkans as
will enable the Serbians to make an
other decided stand, which may result
in the preservation of at least a small
portion of their country. Some sub
stance is given this hope by the report
that Anglo-French forces in the Medi-
erranean and at Saloniki are rapidly
becoming formidable, as we'll as by
continued hints that Italy is on the
verge Of actually participating in the
Balkan campaign.
The continued Serbian retreat to-
ward Albania is causing increased un-
easiness at Athens, where Greek au-
thorities have interpreted develop
ments in the near east as distinctly
upfavorable to the cause of the En-
JCnle powers.
The British war council which met
in Paris recently, returned to London
today, but gave no intimation concern
ing what decisions were reached at the
conference with the French military
leaders.
Along practically the whole of the
eastern front the German are again
reported to have resumed the Often
sive, though in most quarters their
attacks have been repulsed with heavy
losses Along the river Styr, in Gal,
icia, the Teuton attempts to force the
stream have recommended. Huge
bodies of troops are being sacrificed in
that region, probably with the purpose
Of influencing the attitude of Rumania
