The latter found the medical workers hard at work at Kragujevatz when they got to that city and made prisoners of them. One of the largest bodies of workers is the Stobart mission from Great Brit

NITRATE FOR U. s. ARMY.
Develop Electrical Processes of Talk
 ing Nitrogen From Air,

Washington, Dec. 28.-To free the United States Army from its depend- ence for nitrate for the manufacture of explosives, Brigadier General Cro- zier, chief or ordnance, in his annual report yesterday says the government if necessary. should develop the cleo trical processes of taking nitrogen from the air. The country now is de- pendent for nitrates on the Chilean fields, which might be cut off in time of war, and store of sodium nitrate piled up against sudden emergency would not last any considerable time.
 More liberal handling of contracts with private munitions plants is urged to insure an adequate source of sup ply in time of need.

 The situation at Saloniki today is most excellent" the general con- tinued.'I spent several days examin- ing the ground. I must say I have rarely see an emplacement which lends itself better to defense.
 II may say also that the position provides the most favorable condi- tions for offensive as we'll as defen- sive operations" S
 The general was asked whether the allies contemplated an offensive movement from SaIontki in the spring. ."
 Spring will tell, ,''sshe replied. "It is impossible to discount the exigencies of the military situation so far ahead. Should it be decided upon, the offen- sive from Saloniki would be made under peculiarly favorable condi- tions"

 What impression did you gain from your talk with the Kingo" the correspondent asked.
 'I was deeply touched by the fact that his majesty, although in poor health, received me. He was most cordial. The Greeks have ~ shown me every courtesy" ..-.. ..~
 And in France, General--how soon do you believe the war will be fnished?"
 That does not matter. The most important things is that victory is cer- tain, sooner or later. In France every Frenchman and every French women is ready to go the whole way for complete triumph. Whethr.- ir France or here, there will be no weak ening; for France is not only deter mined, France is sure"
 Cheer Gen. Castelnau
 Large crowds in which were many Greek soldiers, gathered before the French legation and cheered Gen. Castelnau.

 Remains on Her Soil.

Petrograd, Via London, Jan. 26, 3:25 P. M.--'"The government stands for the scrupulous fulfllment of the emperOr's manifesto issued the day war was declared, that so long as single soldier of the enemy remains on Russian soil no peace will be concluded
 In these words Sergius Sazanoft at a meeting of the ways and means committee of the Duma today, an swered inquiries propounded by lead ing members of the Duma.

 No explanation was made of the foreign minister's reference to the enemys territory" but it is regarded as reference to Galicia, which, al- though not Russian territory is char acterized here as being inhabited by Little Russians"
 England Bearing Burden.
 M. Sazanoff said that Great Brit ain was bearing conscientiously the tremendous burden of her share of the war.
 The assistant minister of war said that Russian manufacturers were meeting satisfactorily all the demands made upon them by the government and that the army commissariat was being maintained efficiently.

BLUECHER'S CAPTAIN
 AMONG WOUNDED
Most of British Warships in North Sea Encounter Sunday Return
 to Their Moorings.

London, Jan. 27, 4:53 a. m.-Most of the warships engaged in Sundays naval battle in the North sea re- turned home Monday and during Monday night, it was announced here today. The Lion, the flagship of Sir David Beatty, was the last of the bat tie cruisers to arrive. She returned Tuesday morning, when the Arethusa and the Laurel, among the light cruis- CTS. some of the destroyers and the battle cruisers Tiger, Princess Royal, Indomitable and New Zealand were already at their m oorings.
 The Lion arrived at Il o'clock and was greeted with vociferous cheers ships. It was a spontaneous tribute of affection to Vice Admiral Beatty and his flagship.
 Capt Frdmann of the German armored cruiser Bleucher, which was sunk in the recent battle in the North sea, has been placed among the wounded, according to the Edinburgh correspondent of the Times. He is suffering from shock.
 The Lion and the Tiger were the only British battle cruisers that sus- tained material damage in the fight, the correspondent adds. The Lion had her speed reduced, but that soon can be remedied. The Princess Royal, another of the British battle cruisers which had almost as big a part in the action, the correspondent states, is practically unscathed.

Berlin s Appeal Regarded As Poor Business Pr0ject
It Would Cost New Britain $40,O0O to Extend Water .- Mains to Kensington and Then It Might
 Have Competition

Despite an earnest appeal from First Selectman William H. Gibney Of Berlin. it is doubtful whether New
 Britain will extend it's water mains
 into the town of kensington because or the cost. MT. Gibney made his ap-
 peal last night to the charter revision
 committee being assisted by Select man J. J. Fitzsimmons. It is estimat
 ea that the cost would total close to
 $Ao'e00 and it is not believed that the
 clty feels disposed to sink that amount
 TOT Which it would gain no imm atc Ybenefits.
 1 IFhe senator and two representa- tiVes of this district were criticized for not taking more interest in the work
 or the committee. They have attended very few meetings.
 NO acton was taken on request koI the water commissioners for q 3S2OO, 900 bond issue as the committee
 wishes more explicit information re-
 garding the manner in which it is
 proposed to spend the money. Action
 on sewer bond issue was likewise deferred.
 The committee adopted an outline 1 of city plan commission similar to kthat which has been successful in oth-
 .d the Firemen's Pension and Relief as- $soclation for a representative on the board of trustees which handles the Ypension fund. This is big victory for she ,firemen, who have been fighting for a representative for several years. In the absence of Mayor George A. ICu1gley, ex-Mayor George M. Lan-
 ders presided. The others present were Judge B. F. Gaffney, President F.. w. Christ of the chamber of com merce, Corporation Counsel J. F. Coo 1 per, Thomas 1T. Kehoe, Councilman JI.
 l.. Teich, Councilman A. M. Paonessa, 1 ElH. Prior and Severin Johnson. The representatives of the Fire mems Pension and Relief association
 were Edward H. Parker of No. 1,
 John Schmidt of the Hook and Ladder company and William Bohlmann Of No. ?.
 Bremen State Their Case. MT. Parker said that the delegation
 was appointed on January to con- fer with the committee. He said the
 department felt that it should have a representative on the trustees in or ter to have voice in saying how the money should be disposed of. Besides that, the department would like re-
 port occasionally and can get it only
 after the close of the fiscal year The firemen thought such representation might be helpful to the trustees The department would not ask for power ito vote on the retirement of firemen.
 1t is the sentiment of the prison as- sociation that the representatives should be elected annually. | The members of the associatio are Inow taxed s4.50 each year and believe
 they should be able to keep in touch 1 with conditions in tn fund. ..e,.. MT. Parker> said the safety board and mayor approved of the appear
 ance of the delegation before the ,committee.
