meeting held III Savannah last night
when he was e.2ctel q, rAate to at

several years with the exception Of

LONDON, Dec 22-After an all
night debate the house OF commons
early today granted an Increase of
100000 men in the British almy,
bringing up its strength on paper TO
100000.
With the increase come changes in
higher command. Lieut.. Gen. Robert
son, chief Of the general starf, having
been recalled from France to become
chief of the imperial staff in London
in place of Lieut. Gen Murray, who
is about to receive an important com
mand. These changes are accepted
here as indicating closer cooperation
among the allies on the western
/ front.
The TeutOnic powers are repre-
sented as taking full advantage of the
moral effect produced by the with
i draWal of British forces from Cali
poll peninsula and to be attempting
once more to swing Greece and R0u-
mania to their side in the Balkan
operations. If the news of the bonn
| bardment of Varna is correct, Russia
is losing no time in an attempt to
fOrestall these efforts. From several
; sources, all unofficial London has
heard of the bombardment of the
Bulgarian port Various dispatches
state that the Russian warships are
accompanied by fleet of transports
which, according to the morning
! papers, already has landed a suffi
cient force to hold the town.
Although the Greek elections have
given a large majority to former
Premier Gounaris, a powerful mem
Der of the pesent cabinet who is not
ovefriendly to the entente powers
it is not believed here the change will
have much of an effect on the atti
agtated by the possibility that Bul
garians will cross the frontier than

ment

to British official reports, the Ger
mans suffered heavy losses while ex

there's. French operations at most
places ae hampered greatly by bad
weather, but a considerable portion
of the German works on HartsmanS
Weilerkpof has been carried.
The Russians are reported to have
occupied Kun, which indicates they
are making an important advance
into the interior of Persia
Although the question Of conscrip
] tion figured largely in the army de
bate last night in the house of com
mons, it was only an incidental part
of the discussian. The country awaits
with keen interest the debate which
is certain to follow presentation tc

of the commander is in any case es-
tablished and the undisputed fact is
that citizens of the United States

ardy of his lawless act.

the government of the United States
does not feel called upon to debate
them and does not understand that

The government of the United
States therefore finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial
and royal government responsible for
the act of its naval commander and

of the 9Th of December, 1915, 1t
sincerely hopes that the foregoing
statement of its position will enable
the imperial and royal government
to perceive the justice of those de-
mands and to comply with them in
