GREECE POLICY
IS UNCERTAIN
1T is CLAIMED SERVIAN NORTH
ERN ARMY is BEING SLOWLY
BUT SURELY CUT DOWN.

London-While Greece hesitates
the Servian northern army is being
slowly but surely ground down before
the combined pressure Of the Austro-
German and Bulgarian forces. The
fate of Nish hangs by hair, and it
is only at the southern end OF the
battle front that the Bulgars are
meeting with any reverses. There, ac'
cording to reports, the British are CO.
operating with the French, but as half
these reports are unofficial and frag-
mentary it cannot be said authorita-
lively whether the British are in touch
with their new enemy
If the Bulgar-T tide is turned,
the best opinion here is that 1t Will
be some weeks hence, involving a pc
riod of uncertainty such as preceded
the stand before Paris and on the
User. But giving the entente powers
a months time, it is argued that they
can throw 100000, and perhaps 5OO,-
600 men into Servia, not including
Russians, and with such a force not
only dispute the advance of the central
powers, but contest Bulgaria's occu'
patton of Servian Macedonia
The Germans remain on the defen-
sive in the east and west. Neither

ICLAIMS BLOCKADE
NOT DEFENSIBLE
NOTICE is SERVED THAT U. S.
CANNOT SUBMIT TO CUR
TAlLMENT OF RIGHTS.

Washington.-Th United States,
in its latest note to Great Britain,
made public here, covering exhaus-
lively British interference with Amer
ican trade since the beginning of the
European war, declares that the so
called blockade instituted by the al
lies against enemy countries on March
IL is ineffective, illegal and indefen-
sible" Notice is served that the
government cannot submit to the
curtailment of its neutral rights" and
it cannot with complacence suffer
further subordination of its rights
and interests"
Ambassador Page, to whom the note
was sent by special messenger for de-
livery to the London foreign office,
was instructed by Secretary Lansing
ito impress most earnestly" upon the
British government that the United
States must insist that the relations
between it and his majesty's govern
ment be governed not by policy of
expediency but by those established
rules of international conduct to
which Great Britain in the past has
held the United States to account
when the latter nation was a belliger-
ent engaged in a struggle for nation
al existence"
Declaring the United States "un-
hesitatingly assumes" the task of
championing the integrity of neutral
rights, the note pToclaims that the
American government will devote its
energies to the task, exercising al
ways an impartial attitude.
The note, nearly $4,000 words in
length, was made pubic by agreement
between the State Department and
the British Foreign Office. 1t carries
with ii voluminous appendix, giving
the text of American naval instruc-
tions issued in 1862 and a summary
and table showing hundreds of YES
sells detained by British authorities
since the beginning of the present
war.

GERMANY EXPRESSES DOUBT AS
TO TRUTH OF TESTIMONY BE.
FORE BRITISH COURT.
SAYS FALSIFIERS AT WORK
Claims That individuals in Enemy Ter
ritory Have Been Issuing False
Passports and Selling Them
For a Good Price.

Washington.-Germany, in a note
which reached the State Department,
in reply to Secretary Lansing's rep
reservations on the misuse of Ameri-
can passports, expresses doubt as
to the truth of testimony before Brit
ish courts during the trial of spies.
and emphatically denies that Ger,
man government officials had prepared
false American passports and handed
them to agents.
The text of the note signed by Herr
Zimmerman, urdersecretary of state
for foreign affairs, and transmitted
through Ambassador Gerard, follows:
The undersigned has the honor to
state the following to his excellency,
the Hon. James w. Gerard, in reply
to the letter of July 81, last concern
ing the alleged issuing of false Amer
lean passports by the German author
tiles.
The assertions made by Robert
ROsenthal, who was shot in England
as a spy, that a false passport had
been offered to him in the offices Of
the German admiralty staff: that Cor
vetionkaptain Prieger held a stock of
falsitied american passport blanks IN
the admiralty staff Offices, and that
the latter had shown him the water
marks in them, as well as rubber
stamps for the legalization Of false
passports, one and all, are not true.
1T is an established fact, however.
that during the present situation of
the war certain individuals in the oc,
cupied enemy territory and also in
neutral countries endeavored to make
trade of issuing false papers of legi-
timation and of selling them for a
good price. In this way passport fall
sifiers den was raided in Antwerp,
which was already in existence when
Antwerp was occupied by German
troops. 1t may well be assumed that
the passport found on Breckow origi-
mated from such a plant.
LAS far as the alleged testimony
given by Rosenthal and Breckow be-
fore the English law courts is con-
cerned German officers prepared false
passports and handed them to agents
if such testimony should actually
have been given-it must be assumed
that the accused were induced by
threats promises or other means of
pressure during the examination to in
vent these statements in the belief
that they might be of interest for tn,
enemy state. They may have hoped
to obtain a mitigation of the impend.
ing severe punishment by placing the
responsibility for the false passports
on the authorities and not on them
selves. Strong doubts existed here,
however, as to whether the alleged
testimony was actually given. In any
case, the assumption that German gov.
ernment officials, with the knowledge
and consent of German government au-
thorities, had prepared false American
passports and handed them to agents,
must be energetically refuted"

The earliest use of deleterious gases
in siege warfare is recorded in the
history of the Peloponnesian ware
from 431 to 404 b. c. During this
struggle between the Athenians and
Spartans and their respective allies
the cities of Platea and Delium were
besieged.
Wood saturated with pitch and sui
phur was set on fire and burned under
the walls of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes
which would stupefy the defenders
