Washington, Nov l6.--The Ameri-
can government will await the receipt
of the Austrian government state
ment of facts concerning the sinking
of the Italian liner Ancona before con-
sidering whether any rights of Amer
leans have been violated These facts
probably viii be sought through Am
bassador Penfeld at Vienna
The state department now has be-

munication addressed to neutral ma
tons denouncing the sinking of the
Ancona as an unparalleled atrocity,"
and officials have also seen the pub
lished statement of the Austro- Hun
garian admiralty describing the at
tack.
The two statements differ. Italy's
COMMUNICATION charges that ..Wltbout
even a blank shot Of warning from the
attacking submarine" the Ancona was
shelled and that the killing and
wounding Of passengers continued af-
ter the vessel stopped
The admiralty statement, on the 9TH
err hand, declares that the Ancona at
tempted TO escape and only after re-
peated Smelling was brought to a stop.
1t also claims that the passengers and
crew were given As minutes to escape
in small boats and denies the charge
that the submarine fired on the boats.
Naples, Nov. 10 (via Paris, Nov. Is,

Dispatches Conflict
BULGARS ON 0FFENSE
Reports Substantiate Belief
That New Offensive Has
Been Instituted.

London, NOV I6. Q2:22 p. m.)-The
exact situation in central Macedonia is
uncertain. Dispatches from the near
east are conflicting and doubt as to
the time Of events To which they refer
injects an additional element Of un-
certainty. It is clear, however, that
the Bulgarians have been reinforced
and have begun a new offensive.
The operations In central Macedonia
according to Rome accounts, present a
most powerful menace to the armies Of
Serbia and her allies, which are oper-
ating from Tetova through Perlepe TO
the southeastern Serbian frontier
kilograms received almost simultan-
eously from Greece announce that
Tetovo is in the hands Of both the
Serbians and Bulgarians, but the re
ponderance OF evidence points to Bull
garian occupation of this front
Fighting for Pass.
The Bulgarians are making des-
perate efforts to force their way
through Katchianik pass in the diree-
ton of Pristina. They are also at
tempting to advance from Tetoyo to
Perlepe and Monastir and, by forcing
Bubuna pass, to reach Perlepe from
the other side. These operations are
said to have placed Monastir again in
danger.
It is at present a problem whether
the newly arrived French and British
forces are large enough to meet this
Bulgarian onslaught, which apparently
has begun with extraordinary vigor.
What Greece will do in event the al
lied troops are forced back over the
Greek border is still a matter of specu-
lation A message from Greece says
the government viii extend to the
Serblans the same privileges as those
accorded to the French and British in
case Of their encroachment on Greek
territory, but In view of the fact that
no definite announcement has been
made as to what these privileges will
be further than the original statement
Of Premier Sbouloudis that the allied
troops would he permitted to reach the
sea unmolosted, the intentions of
Greece remain obscure.
Reports Not Confirmed.
On the Galician front the Russians,
while admitting that they have lost
some ground in the neighborhood OF
styr forts, do not concede that they
have been forced back across the river,
as is claimed in the German official
communication Of yesterday
Further details of this fighting will
be necessary to determine whether
The Russians have lost the town of
C7artorysk and whether Russian con-
troll of the kovei-Sarny railway is
thereby endangered.

CITY WATER PERIL
STAYED FOR TIME
Hardy's Terms Delay Sewage
Plant at Mohansic for Leg.
iSlatiVe Action.

The threatened pollution Of the
Croton water supply by the installation
of sewage disposal plants at the state
institutions in the watershed was pre-
vented Yesterday, temporarily at least,
when Corporation Counsel Hardy en-
tered into a stipulation with the Attor-
ney General that the city would not
press its injunction, in return for a
suspension of further activities in the
watershed until the matter was brought
before the Legislature after January |.
Argument on the petition for an in
junction TO restrain the board of man
ayers Of the State Training School
for Boys from executing the contract
for the sewage disposal plant at that
institution was to have come before
Justice Keogh at White Plains to-
morrow.
Corporation Counsel Hardy in q
statement said the city had won a
preliminary but substantial victory in
it's fight to prevent the pollution of
the water supply. He ssid
AT the request Of the Attorney Cen
eral | have adjourned the hearing on
the motion for an injunction until the
Legislature has had an opportunity
to remove the danger to the city's
water supply, which was threatened by
the Mohansic State Hospital and the
State Training School for Boys. A stip.
ulation to this effect has been signed
on the understanding that the con-
struction Of sewage disposal plants at
Mohansic Lake shall be suspended until
the Legislature shall have considered
the matter.
"This means that the city's water
supply will not be polluted, at least for
the present. II the Legislature takes
effective action when the matter is pre-
sented to il, the city's waiter supply
will be protected from all danger OF
pollution
