UPON MONTENEGRINS
Whole Force Thrown at Enemy
Following Close of Serbian
Operations.
GERMANS ARE RETARDED
Enterprise Against Franco-British
Armies Possibly Delayed ow-

LONDON. November 10
Monastir, in southwestern Serbia.
has been evacuated. Serbian
troops. having accomplished their
purpose OF delaying their enemv's
advance until the civil population
OF the town had time to escape.
have now lett the city. and, ac-
cordinS to reports. are retiring iii
good order Bulgarian occupa-
ton OF the town is apparently a
matter OF only a few hours.
The capture OF Prisrend. in
western Serbia near the Albanian
border. was announced TODAY by
the Berlin war office
Either bitter winter weather
has retarded the central powers
in their proposed new enterprise
against the Franco-British troops
near Strumitsa or the rapidly
developing Russian menace from
the direction. OF Runania has
caused them to abandon it. In
anv event. their campaign seems
to have recently come TO stand
still at this point.
Austrians Move on Montenegro.
The Overseas News Agency of Berlin
has just given out the following con-
cerning the Montenegrin campaign:
After the termination of the oper-
ations against the Serbian main army
the eAustro-Hungarian offensive against
Montenegro started with the whole of
the Austro- Hungarian force. The first
offensive. begun some time ago. was
only intended to impede the Montene
grins from participating in the oper
ations in the Saujak. After having OBJ
tanned this result the general offensive
against Montenegro has row begun.
"As the northwest frontier is nat
,IraI fortress the attack will be directed
from the Sanjak. The Austro-Hun
garians already have passed the Linn
river.
Bulgars Cross Cerna.
A dispatch to the Times from F'lorina,
Greece dated Saturday. says:
The Bulgarians yesterday crossed
the River Cerna. Monastir has been
evacuated The Serbian army is re-
firing in good order
Though the Austro-Cierman and BYl-
garian campaign against Serbia is de-
scribed by the central powers fin
ished. and though practically the whole
of Serbia is in their possession, they
haze not accomplished according tu
the general belief here. the more i'm
porlant aim Of entirely crushing the
Serbian army. Though defeated ana
worn out in the conflict against over
whelming odus. the Serbian forces are
said to be still unbroken and unde-
moralized, and are reported to be re-
organizing their shattered units on the
Albanian and Montenegrin frontiers
preparatory to fresh action.

Look for a Reunion.

u was further said BY repubiica MS
that there is now every reasona Bile in
dication that the regular republican ma :
tional convention Will witness reunion
of the two wings of the party and
agreement upon a candidate who can be
supported by progressives and repub-
means In such event, it was said, the
bull moosers' convention. to be held
after the republican convention, would
fall fiat.
No well Informed republican in Wash
ington believes that Col. Roosevelt will
countenance. not to say head a revolt
II the republican national convention
agrees upon candidate acceptable to
the progressive sentiment II is well
known to even the rank and file Of the

Against Partial Development.

"A later study made in the District
Office indicates that this partial devel-
opment of power will not be econom-
ical and that If work is undertaken. it
should be on the basis of developine
the full power. The cost OF such de-
veIopment is placed at sl.,799, 900 inde-
pendent of any features for increasing
the water supply, estimated to cost 81. :
412600 additional, making the total
cost of the power plant and the in
crease of the water supply $l7.27 500.
In addition steam reserve must be
maintained as the flow of the river is
occasionally insufficient to generate the
average load which the plant should
carry"

Allies Not Violating
Greek Soil, Says Paris:
Berlin Answers Claim

PARIS, November 30.-The entente
allies in disembarking troops at Saloniki
are not violating Greek territory, nor can
their action in Greece be compared to
the German occupation of Belgium. This
is the semi official reply to the German
statement recently made i'll which the
Saloniki expedition was criticised as
violation of foreign territory.
The presence of the allies at Saloniki
does not need any justification, according
to the diplomatic view made known in
Paris The French and British are not
tolerated guests. but are there as mat
ter of duty and established right, it is
pointed out

Can Act Elsewhere.

Their action at Saloaiki. it is further
said, could be repeated at any other point
in Greece. and with perfect legality. The
landing of allied troops at Saloniki is
based on the London treaty of July 13.
1863. the signatories of which are Greece,
France, Great Britain and Russia. guar
anteeing the independence and constitu-
tional institutions of Greece.
This convention was preceded by
various other agreements entered into
as far back 1872.
In the belief that Greece is menaced
from within and without. the allies. il
is held. have full liberty of action un-
der the terms of the treaty and viii
continue the work begun. certain of
the International legality of their
action.

Perkins Reviews Situati ton.

George W. Perkins was quoted fter
the meeting as saying:
THE progressives. of course. will
nominate straight ticket We have
a wealth of material from which to
choose ticket, while the republicans
have dearth. We have Roosevelt of
New York. johnson of California, Bev-
eridge of Indiana and Bird of Massa-
chusetts. Match any one of them If
you can.
The republicans have Weeks of Mas
sachusetts. Burton of ohio. Root of
New York and Penrose of Pennsyl-
wanna And let me tell you that they
are seriously talking of nominating
Penrose.
But suppose the national convention
should deadlock and Hughes come out
OF 1t? Would 1t be possible for the
progressIves to indorse him." he was
asked.
in the first place l do not look for
Hughes nomination. He has said he
would not run under any circum-
stances. Again, progressives through
out the country. and ] have Travelled 1t
extensively. insist upon a ticket of
their own. And it certainly looks as
though they would have it. l told YOU
months ago l look for four presidential
tickets next year. The progressives
are disposed to go right ahead and
nominate. That was the unanimous
sentiment of the national executive
committee at today's meeting"

To Study City Governments.

Mr.. Newman's trip was TO enable him
to find out what progress other cities
that have adopted the commission form
Of government are making, and. as
starter he visited Atlanta, where the
Old mayor and city council plan is still
fl operation. After comparing the gov
eminent of this municipality with the
administrative systems of the cities he
visited later Mr.. Newman was con-
WINGED that Atlanta is standing in it's
own light by failing 10 get on the COM
mission band wagon.
The commission plan is working out
satisfactorily in all the cities where it is
I'm operat'o on and municipal development
along all lines has been greater than
under their former governmental regimes,
he stated. The modern system has not
increased taxes. but there is a disposition
the part of the governed to be more
liberal in authorizing expenditures for i'm
provements, they feel that there is less
opportunity for fraudulent or wasteful
expenditure of funds by a commission,
the Commissioner said.
The city manager plan, which is being
tried out at Dayton. Ohio. Mr.. Newman
found particularly interesting. although
he says this method has not passed the
experimental stage, and he would not
recommend it for Washington until there
is greater opportunity to judge of its

Secretary Garrison's Letter.

This project proposes the, combina-
tion of power development and an
increase of the water supply of the city
of Washington at an estimated cost of
sl5.O21.C 600.
1T was the view at the time and un-
I'll recently that work for incr.asinp
the water supply should be commenced
in the near future. However, in his an
nual report this year the then District
Engineer Commissioner reported that
on account of the installation of me-
ters and other measures taken to re-
duce the consumption per capita it
would appear that the work, so far as
the increase of the water supply was
concerned, need not commence before
1920. and that experience may then
show it safe to postpone commence
ment for several years more. The ad-
visibility OF undertaking the d, oject in
the near future must therefore depend
upon the advantages expected from the
power development.
The economics of the developmeut
have been questioned in some quar-
ters. The estimate cited above con-
templated the generation of only power
sufficient to meet the needs of the fed
eral and District governments

Want to Extend Demurrage.

c. c. Mccain, chairman of the Trunk
Line Associa ton, is now in Washington
comforting with the Interstate com
merce commission in an effort to OBJ
tain permission. it was stated, for the
member railroads to extend the privi-
lege of charging demurrage upon grain
while it is left in cars, under certain
conditions, as we'll as after it has been
placed in elevators.
The present congestion, which is said
to be the worst in years, has been
largely caused, railroad men claim, by
the effort on the part of grain men
along the great lakes to empty their
elevators as quickly as possible to re-
ceive additional grain before the great
lakes shipping season officially closes

Favored for the Future.

Secretary Garrison of the War De-
partment has written to Senator Nor
ris, saving that while he approves of
the power plant proposition for the
futre, under existing circumstances he
does not feel warranted in including
in his estimates for the coming year
any appropriation for the plant
notwithstanding the attitude of the
administration regarding the building
of the pwer plant at this time. Senator
Norris intends to do all he can to get
favorable action Oh the proposition by
Congress. He said today there had
been thorough investigation made by
Col Langfitt, which had cost the gov
ernment $4,000, and that he believed
the findings in this investigation
should be used to the advantage both
of the government and the people of
the District

which he reiterates the stand taken by
him some time ago in regard to the pro-
posed power plant at Great Falls. Sec

Democrats Are Delighted.

The comment today of politicians in
Washington upon this affair varied.
Democrats, of course, were delighted
at the news, and wished more power
to the elbow of the bull moosers work
ing to reinsert this wedge into the re-
publican party.
Republicans were not disposed to be
panic-stricken. however, at first blush
over the proposed revivification of the
bull moose party. They cited the prac-
teal evidence of the return of the
former bull moosers to the old party
furnished in the election returns of
1914 and of the I'd Of this month
They said further, each man speak
ing for his own state and district, that
they had personal knowledge of the
attitude of influential progressiyes in
their own political radius and know
the Discrimination Of these voters to
repeat the action of 1912 For one
thing, ii was claimed. there will not
be the same incentive to create a third
party in 1916 that there was to holt
the old party in 1912. Many progress
sives left the republicans In that wear
because they honestly believed Roose-
Welt had been deprived of a nomina-
ton belonging to him.
That score has been evened IT was
said. and the progressives who left in
1916 are now confronted with the sim

Embargo on Grain.

The Pennsylvania railroad placed en-
bargoes on export flour and lumber at
New York and on all export grain at
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The Lackawanna began an embargo
yesterday on various forms of freight
coming into New Jersey terminals.
This affects the shipment of grain from
Buffalo and other lake points, as the
Lackawanna regulates the grain move
ment by restraining the number OF
cars at Buffalo.
Although in many cases railroad men
have been loath to discuss present
freight conditions, it is known that be
tween 10000 and 50,00D freight cars are
now at or near New York terminals
waiting to be unloaded. Every freight
terminal in this district has been run
ming under top speed for several weeks.
But the number of loaded freight cars
in yards has increased so rapidly that
three of the trunk line roads were
forced to declare embargoes, and all of
the other lines have found it necessary
to take determined action a once.
