 "The Serbian army was frightful- ly handicapped through lack of muni- tions and food supplies" Dr. Sharpe said. Its retreat was a marvel of military skill. While the Serbians abandoned many big guns in their flight, most of them had been previ- ously captured from the Austrians.'
 Dr. Arthur H. Burlong of San Ma teo, Calif. was another passenger on the Cyn1ric, accompanied by his wife, who formerly was British Red Cross nurse. pr. Budlong was wounded during a battle on the Aisne when, with his company, he was ambushed in a supposedly abandoned German trench.
 The Cymric brought 147S passengers and PITS bags of mail as well as a consignment of gold valued at s2,500, 900 for New York banks.

TALK OF GREAT RAILROAD
 STRIKE IN THE SPRING
If Necessary to Enforce Demand for
 an Eight Hour Day.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Talk of a great railroad strike in the spring if neces- sary to enforce a demand for an eight hour day is without authoritative foundation, Warren s. Stone, head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- NeerS, said today.
 No one can predict what will hap pen four months from now" he said. There is no basis as yet for stating that the questions between us and the employers will or will not be arbitrat- ed, nor can anyone at this time say whether there will or will not be a strike"
 The conferences of heads of the va rious organizations of railway em- ployes-engineers firemen, conductors and trainmen-closed today. The en- gineers and firemen formally agreed to work with the others for an eight hour day without reduction in wages and time and a half for overtime.
 A large committee representing the unions will meet in Chicago soon to put the demands in precise language The next step will be their presentation to the railroads. and after that, it is expected, committees of the two sides will meet in a series of conferences to see if matters cannot be adjusted without an appeal to arbitration or a strike.

Washington. Dec 12-The text of the American note to Austria Hungary regarding the sinking of the Italian steamship AnCona, made public to- night, reveals a formal demand by the United States for prompt denOunce- menJ of the illegal and indefensible" act: for punishment of the submarine comm arder. and for reparatiOn by the payment of indemnity for the killing and inJuring of innocent American cit izens-
 These demands follow a statement informing Austria Hungary that the good relation of the two countries must rest uf.an d common regard for law and humc lity." The note arraigns the shelling and tOrpedOing Oi tle liner as "inhumane," 'barharous" and a "wantOn slaughter of helpless men, women and children
 In official and diplomatic circles the communication is regarssed as being the most emphatic declaration 70 come from the United States government since the beginning of the European war. No attempt is made to conceal the fact that. unless the demands are quickly compiled with, diplomatic re la.ions between the two countries will be in grave danger of being severed. The tex of the note. which was hand ed to the Austrian foreign office Thursday by Ambassador Penfield, fol- lows:
 Text Of the Note.
 The secretary of state to Ambassa- dor Pcnfeld:
 Department of State
 Washington, Dec. 6. 1915.
 Please deliver note to the minister of foreign affairs. textually as follows:
 Information from Survivors.
 Reliable information obtained from American and other survivors who were passengers on the steamship An coma shows that on Nov a sub marine flying the AustrO- Hungarian flag fired a solid shot toward the steamship: that rLereupon the AncOna attempted to escape, but, being over hauled by the submarine. she stopped: that after a brief period and before the crew and passengers were all able to take to the boats. the submarine fired a number of shells at the vessel and finally tOrpedoed and sank her while there were yet many persons on board: and that by gunfire and foun- deTing of the vessel a large number of persons lost their lives or were seri- OUsly injured, among whom were citi- Zens of the United States.
 Public Statement of Austrian Rd-
 niraIty.
 'sThe public statement of the Austro- Hungarian admiralty has been brought to the attention of the government of the United States and received care ful consideration. This statement sub stantially confirms the principal dec laratiOn of the survivors. as it admits that the Ancona after being shelied was tOrpedoed and sunk while persons were still on board.
 The Austro- Hungarian government has been advised, through the core spOndence which has passed between the United States and Germany, of the attitude of the government of the United States as 10 the use of sub marines in attacking vessels of com

GENERAL
 BURLESoN'S ANNUAL REPORT
European War Has Cost American
 Postal Service S21, 100000.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Postmazter General Burleson's annual report made public last night says the European war has cost the American postal ser vice S21, ,OO0. 900, but that economies of administration have reduced the au- dited deficit to little more than S11,- GOO, 900 for the fiscal year which ended last June. Considerations of service, the report says. were placed above all others and notwithstanding adverse revenue conditions, expansion and inn prOyement of postal facilities con- tinued. Had iC not been for econom- ical reorganization begun before the war started and continued since, the postmaster general says the audited deficit would have been at least S24,- 100000. Of the total deficit, however, his analysis of the departments fin- ances declares that all but a little more than $500, 900 was the result of in- creases of postal salaries and addition al railway mail pay required by law.
 Chief among recommendations to congress are a renewal of previous proposals for change from Lle weight to the space basis of fixing pay to the railroads for carrying mail: a renewal of recommendations for government ownership of telegraphs and tele- phones: removal of the four pound limit on first class mail, and the adop- ton of more liberal limitations on the weight and insurance of parcel post packages.

s5, 900 STRO-HUNGARIAN
 PRISONERS LET FREE.
By the Teutonie Forces During Their
 Drive Through Serbia.

Berlin. Dec. 12.-(By Wireless to Sayville). Twenty-Five thousand Austro- -Hungarians who had been made prisoner by the Serbians were set free by the Teutonic forces during their drive through Serbia, a state ment issued by the Overseas News News Agency today says. Many oth- CTS died during. epidemics and the fate of still others is unknown.
 Serious fears are entertained re- garding missing prisoners, says the news agency. "Since Bulgarian off cers have alleged that Austro- -Hunga- rian prisoners were mercilessly treat ed by the Serbians during the cam pain, the Serbians leaving them without food and even killing prison CTS in several instances. It has not been learned, however, whether the offenses alleged were committed by irreguIars or by rowing bands.'
 The Teutonic armies have reached the Albanian frontier along learly the entire front and a large section of Montenegrin territory has been occu- pied. Since the final battle at Ple- vie and Ipek there have been only minor engagements with the retreat ing army, in which the Serbians and Montenegrins have shown decreased resisting power"

BARGE BELIEVED TO HAVE
 BEEN SUNK BY COLLISION
With Three Masted Schooner Of Sea
 konret Point.

Newport. T. l. Dec 12.-Rarge No. 789 of Lehigi. Nai:ey CCal fiee: $ Da liaved tc have zone d-wn in a collision with an unidentified three-mastei schooner oft Seaknnnet Point last night. Whether the schooner also sank is unknown but a long search of the waters of the vicinity failed to show any trace of her.
 The barge carried a crew of three
 She was the hindmost of a string of three coal barges in town of the Cheektowaga, bound from Perth Am boy for Maine ports. Six miles off Sea konnet, they met a schooner heavily laden, beating to the westward against a moderate breeze. The sea was smooth and the weather clear.
 A few minutes after the schooner passed the second barge signalled the tug that the stern barge had broken adrift. The Cheektowaga swung around and spent the rest of the night and most of today in a search for the missing craft. Portions of d life raft and two matches from the barge were found floating sixteen miles off Sea konnet, but there was no sign of the crew.
 Tbe captain of the tug w. E. Clad wish, which came in tonight, report ed that he passed a schooner with some of her forerigging carried away in Long Island Sound early today. It is thought that this may be the yes sel that struck the barge and that she may have the missing crew on board.

REPUBLICANS OF SENATE
 TO HOLD CONFERENCE TODAY
Over Committee Designations Reeora-
 mended by Steering Committee.

Washington, Dec. I2.-The first week of the sixty-fourth congress, which is destined to be historic in the nations annals, brought about virtually har- monious organization in both houses after a few preliminary skirmishes and revealed a determination on the part of administration leaders to attempt no serious legislative business until the holiday recess is over.
 The presidents address to the con- gress on Tuesday, with its suggestions for national preparedness, denuncia- tion of internal conspirators against neutrality of the government, warning of the necessity for increased revenues and outline of other urgent legislative needs, stood out as the most impor- tant event of the week. The address furnished members of both houses with much food for thought and there were indications on every hand that the defense programme and revenue re- qu.rements would precipitate long and strenuous debate.
 Republicans Of the senate will con- fer tomorrow over committee designa- tions recommended by the steering committee. It was reported last night that progressive republicans would protest against the defeat of Senator Kenyon of Iowa for a place on the foreign relations committee, but this does not seem likely now.

merce, and Jhe &ct.u.eScence of Ger many in that attitude, yet with full knowledge on the part of the Austro- Hungarian government of the views of the government of the United States as expressed in no uncertain terms to the ally Of Austria Hungary, the com- mander of the submarine which att tackled the AncOna failed to put in a place of safety the crew and passen- gers of the vessel which they purposed to destroy because, it is presumed, of the impGssibility of taking it into port as a prize of war.
 Violated International Law.
 The government of rhe United States considers that the commander violated the principles of international law and Ot humanity by smelling and tOrpedOiDg the AncOna before the per- sons on board had been put in place of Safety or even given sufficient time to leave the vessel. The conduct of the commander can only be character Ized as wanton slaughter Of defense less n-COmbatants. since at the time when the vessel was shelled and tor pedoed she was not, it appears, resist ing or attempting to escape: and no other reason is sufficient to excuse such an attack, not even the possibility of rescue
 The government of the United States is forced, therefore to conclude either that the commander of the sub marine acted in violation of his in struCtiOns or that the imperial and royal government failed to issue in- StructonS to the commanders of its submarines in accordance with the law of nations and the principles of hu- manity. The government of the United States is unwilling to believe the latter alternative and to credit the Austria Hungarian government with an intention to permit its submarines to destroy the lives of helpless men, women and children. It prefers to be- IeVe that the commander of the sub- marine committed this outrage with out authority and contrary to the gen. eral or special instructions which he had received.
 Asks for Punishment of Officer.
 As the good relations of the two countries must rest upon a common regard for law and humanity, the government of the United States can- not be expected to do otherwise than to demand that the imperial and royal government denOunce the sinking of the AncOna as an illegal and indefen- sible act; that the officer who perpe- trated the deed be punished, and that repaTatiOn by the payment of an in- demnity be made for the citizens of the United States who were killed or injured by the attack on the vessel.
 "The government of the United States expects that the AUstro-Hu garian government, appreciating the gravity of the case, will accede to it's demands promptly; and it rests this eXDectation on the belief that the AustrO- Hungarian government will not sanction or defend an act which is condemned by the world as inhuman and barabarOus. which is abhorrent to all civilized nations. and which has caused the death of innocent American citizens.

RELIGIOUS PARTICIPATION IN
 PAN-AMERIcAN CONGRESS.
Approved by Reetors of 24 Protestant
 Episcopal Churches in New York


 New York. Dec. 12-Rectors of 24 of the largest Protestant Episcopal churches in the city announced from their pulpits this morning their ap- prrval of the determination of the Episcopal board of missions to par ticipate with the representatives of the large Protestant bodies in the forthcoming Pan-AmeEiCan congress. This participation has been the sub ject of much discussion and some dis sension in the Episcopal church. The rectOrs united in a plea for the aban- donment of SeCtarian prejudice as an obstacle to ultimate Christian unity.
 The Clergymen, who refrained from individual expressins of opinion. joined in distributing among their parishion- CTS copies of a pamphlet signed by them in which they quoted and ap- proved a statement dealing with the situation. recently published by Bishop Samuel Cook Edsall of Minnesota.
 The clergy said they regarded their action as a step in the direction of practical church unity as well as an answer D recent criticism of the action of the board of missions on the ground that 1t was illegal and tended to es- trange the Roman and Greek Catholic churches from the Episcopal.
 At its meeting in October the board of missions refused to resCind it's ac- cepJance in May of the invitation to congress.

GERMAN EMBARGO ON
 EXPORT OF DYESTUFFS.
Notwithstanding Great Britain Has Granted Permission For Its Ship nent.

Washington, Dec. 12. - Failure to move dystuffs from Europe to the United States is due to Germany in stead of Great Britain, according to a statement issued yesterday at the state department. Permission by the British foreign office for tgo cargoes tocome forward is still in effect, but the German embargo has made their movement impossible. The British embassy has expressed the opinion that if Germany permits these cargoes t omove, it is probable that permission for other shipments wiuld, be grant ed.
 Ambassador Page has been instruct cd to call the attention of the British foreign office to the vital need in this country for haywood from Jamaica and British HOnduruS.

COURAGEOUS ACTION OF
 TWO BOYS SAVED A LIFE.
Dragged Boy. Who Had Fallen In, Out
 Of Connecticut River.

Springfield, Mass, Dec. 12.-The and courageous action of two boys, Jeremiah Murphy and Anthony Pohe- ner, Jr., in rushing a round bottomed rowboat over 800 feet of thin ice sav- ed the life this afternoon of Archie Curr, another boy who had broken in- to the Connecticut river while at tempting to walk across the newly formed ice. Murphy climbed on his hands and knees to the edge of the hole into which Curr had fallen and succeeded in putting a plank under one arm of the boy, who was so numbed by his p minutes stay in the water that he could not grasp the board. Murphy and his compan- ion then dragged him out of the wa
