London, Dec. 2.--Italy, through her
foreign minister, Sonnino, has an
nounced her adhesion to the treaty of
London, whereby the allied powers
undertake not to conclude separate
peace, and at the same time has de-
clared her intention of sending help
to the Serbian army in the Balkans.
Entente Allies Gaining Ground.
This news is the most important
for several weeks, and will go far to
clear the :, situation, especially in
Greece, where negotiations are still
proceeding between King Constantine,
his cabinet and the ministers of the
quadruple entente. These negotia-
tions have been protracted Owing to
Greece's unwillingness tos AloW the
Allies free use oftthe railway and TIE
right to police Greek waters Against
submarines. They have not gsyet4 been
completed, but the latest 'advices ;indi-
cate that they are likelye'to end in
complete satisfaction to the entente
powers. y
Situation in Greece Unchanged.
The assurance that Italy and Great
Britain, France and Russia is to give
military Support to the Serbfans il,
their effort to regain their lost terri.
tory, makes the case of Greece as
sistance stronger. Otherwise, the sit
uaton in the Balkans :. remains un-
changed. The Serbians still hold
Monastir, but their position is almost
hopeless as the Bulgarians have cut
communications between that city
and the Greek frontier and the Ser
bian troops still there must, like the
army of the north, retreat into Al
bania when thep ressure becomes too
strong.
Russ Reported in Roumana.
There is a report that the Russians
have crossed the Roumanian border
and are making through that country
to Bulgaria. This, however, lacks con-
firmation and such movement is
hardly likely to occur unless Rou'
mania gave her permission, para
mount to joining the Allies.
Institute Big Offensive.
Another report credits the Russians
with directing their best Bessarabian
army towards Galicia, where a big
offensive is to be undertaken. This
likewise is unconfirmed.
Heavy Artillery DreIs.
On the other front, Italian, French
and C.:ssian artillery bombardments
are the order of the day. The British,
French and Belgian guns have been
particularly active as have the airmen
in Flanders and the German positions
there have been given a rather severe
battering. British monitors took part
in the operation suggesting that this
may be the point where the next Of
rensive will be undertaken.

Clifton Merchants VIII Not

Gates From NIilitiamen
Who Are Stationed in the

According to information finding its
way into the office of Adjutant Gen
eral Harris, certificates which the
state has been issuing militiamen who
have recently seen service at Clifton,
are not considered first-class legal
tender by mercantile and banking or
CARNATIONS throughout the state, eS-
pecially in the Clifton neighhorhood.
The latest slam taken at the scrip
was the recent refusal OF several
stores at Clifton to accept paper or to
extend credit to members of the mil
itia. Owing to the fact that all funds
for the use of the states military de-
partment have been tied up in litiga-
ton, all bills paid by the department
have been paid in certificates issued
against the general fund OF the state
by the state auditor. and up until re

been extended the militiamen.

ter up with the manager of the
