"Mr Roosevelt may be too much Of an agi-

great deal of unnecessary opposition by his meth

generous disposition to fasten on hem the stigma

VIENNA VISIT
 CAUSES SPECULATION
 THROUGHOUT EUROPE
WAR SUMMARY

Except for northeast Montenegro, along the eastern Serbo- -Montenegrin
 frontier and in the Isonzo sector of
 the Austro-Italian war zone little 1 fighting of moment is taking place on any of the numerous battle fronts. In ! France and Belgium. virtually noth- ing is going on except artillery en- agreements, in which the French as sert, considerable damage has been done to German defensive positions. On the Russian front the fighting is virtually at a standstiH.
 The Austro- Hungarian forces are continuing their inroads into north and eastern Montenegro but the MOntenegrins aided by Serbians who | escaped the Teutonic net, are giving them battle. In the northeastern
 sector the advance is north of and [ toward Plevlje and against the Gra- l dina height. With the taking of Prisrend Monday. the last important town in Serbia, except Monastir, fell into the hands of the Teutons
 Vienna reports that during the month of November the Austrian army of General Koevess captured 4O.SOO Serbian troops and 26,60O civilians fit for military service.
 In southern Serbia the cold and snow still are holding lIp the opera tions of the British and French. Nothing official has come through as to whether the Bulgarians have yet taken Monastir.
 Along the Isonzo the violent attacks which the Italians for days have been launching against the Austrians in +s4i +a Trieste have lessened generally. all though at various points the big Italian guns are still raining shells on the Austrian positions.
 The political situation surrounding Greece and Rumania has not yet cleared. Rumania at last accounts
 was still holding out for the main tenance of her neutrality, while
 Greece was said not to have answered
 satisfactory the demands embraced
 in the latest note of the entente powers to her. \ dispatch from
 Athens asserts that the situation
 there is tense. Advices from Copen-
 hagen are to the effect that the SO
 cialist leader in the German reich
 stag will ask the German govern
 ment to give informa ton as to the conditions on which Germany would be ready to begin peace negotiations. Explaining the position Of Great Britain with respect to the declara- tion of London. the Marquis of Lans- downe informed the house of lords that it had been adopted only with 1 important notifications and for the guidance of the British courts The creation of an international tribunal, he said, was not involved in the adop- tion of the declaration but he eX- pressed the conviction that in all cases where the law courts had failed to afford satisfactory solution. or diplomacy had been unable to arrive at an adjustment, it was right that 1 the principal of arbitration should be considered The resort to arbitration for the settlement of disputes was provided for in the arbitration treaty concluded with the United States last year he said.

That Warden Robert E. Sims of the state penitentiary. in delaying notify ing County Attorney Richardson of the alleged insanity Of the murderer William Faltin. employed a subterfuge to effect anotrer delay in scheduled execution, will probably he the stand of Attorney General Wiley Jones. when the case of Sims. charged with con tempt comes up in the state supreme court at ten o'clock this morning. On the eve of the hearing. Warden Sims, the condemned man and all other cen ual figures in the most spectacular -ase vet developed out of Arizona s struggles to executc its murderers, were in Phoenix.
 Sims arrived yesterday morning from Florence Sheriff Adams brought FaItin here last night. on an order from the superior court. designating a day on which it shall once more set a date for the execution.
 If Sims had meant to show entire good faith in the Faitin matter in the opinion of the Attorney General. he should not have delayed notifying the court at Florence. of the supposed in- sanity of the prisoner. until the day set for the hanging. This is the stand tak- en by those who hold with the attor- ney general, that the act of the prison head was a fragrant case of contempt of the supreme court. He had had plenty of opportunities to learn the at titude of the attorney general both as attorney general. and as member of the board of pardons and paroles. In the KeImeen case, similar delays 1T shifting the responsibility on an i'm sanity jury. had been affected by the warden. and telephone conversations and letters had passed between Sims | and Jones on the matter
