AyIA1oRs LOST IN HAZE
Current Sweeps Four Machines Fifty
Miles Out Of Course-Finaily
Reach Austin.

Austin. Tex.-Four aviators of the
United States aero squadron, after
being lost for nearly two hours in
haze on their flight from Waco to
Austin, discovered their bearings on
Nov. % and resumed their journey to
Austin. Two machines arrived heie
on time. A third machine came in
soon after, and the other three were
then in the air headed for Austin, aft
er having drifted in the haze nearly
so miles westward of their course.
A strong upper air current carried
the machines far to the west, and
about :,30-the time when the avia-
tors knew they should be due in Aus.
tin-they began coming down in small
towns northwest of here to get their
bearings Two aeroplanesA landed at
Lampasas, about so miles northwest,
and another at Kingsland, a small
town a little nearer Austin, to take a
new reckoning.
The two aviators who had arrived
in Austin sent out an alarm over the
telephone lines for the four belated
fliers In the next hour many con.
flicting reports of aeroplanes landing
in various places were received.

Reply to Allies Couched in More
Friendly Terms.
Athens.-Greece has met the de-

will be fulfilled.
Official announcement is made that
the reply to the collective note pre-
sented by the entente ministers has

1.-THE reply is couched in very
friendly terms and gives satisfaction
Of the demands Of the entente powers
and all guarantees considered essen

The collective note was recently
presented to the Greek government. As
outlined in unofficial dispatches. II
contained no request for Greek inter.
yention in the war with the allies. but
asked Greece to give assurance that
she would preserve her friendly atti-
tude in case the allied troops now in
Macedonia should be compelled to re-
treat across the frontier to Greek ter.

ITALIAN TROOPS IN ALBANIA
Allies Threaten To Withdraw Special
Privileges From Greek commeree.
England Denies Blockade.

London.-Italian troops have begun
landing on Albanian territory, accord
ing to Chiasso dispatch to the Jour-
nal La Suisse forwarded by the Gen.
tral News correspondent at Zurich.
Instead of declaring a general block
ade OF Greek ports the allies. accord
ing to statement issued by the Brit
ish foreign office, have withdrawn or
threatened to withdraw special privi-
leges that Greek commerce has en-
joyed since the wars outbreak.
The nature Of these special privi-
leges is not specifically stated, but IS
an example Greece has been allowed
to draw her supplies of coal from
Welsh collieries. To do this Greek
merchants. required special permits,
as the export of coal from the British
Isles is allowed only under a special
license.
There are many other commodities
whose export is permitted only to GER
tain countries. Invariably when or
ders have been issued against the ex-
port of these Greece has been except
ed Now, unless she comedies the al
lies demands for safety Of their troops
in the Balkans, Greece will be struck
off the list of countries that have these
privileges.
This less vigorous attitude on the
part OF the allied governments has
caused some dissatisfaction, but it has
eased the situation and the belief now
prevails that Greece, impressed by
Lord Kitcheners visit and the threat
to her commerce, will concede the de-
mands
OF the fighting at the Balkans re
ports are more confusing than ever.
The Germans still claim progress ALI
recount the capture of thousands OF
prisoners and many guns from the
Servians. But from the towns men
toned their advance appears slow. 1t
may be, as reported from italian
sources, that the campaign is waiting
on change in the disposition OF the
armies so that the Germans may be
the first to enter Monastir. This
would avoid the trouble likely to arise
through Greek objection to Bulgarian
occupation OF the city. eNt

PASSAGE or TEUTONlC TROOPS
OVER DANUBE RIVER FLATLY
REFUSED.
AUSTRIAN ARMY TO BORDER
Sympathy OF Big Balkan Kingdom Be-
coming More Pro-AiIy.-Greece
Again Causes Much Anxiety
To the Allies.

London.-The Austro-Germans have
had to divert part of their armies
down the Danube to the Roumanian
border, Roumania having refused the
German request for the opening of the
Danube throughout it's entire length
to enable the Germans to send sup
plies to Bulgaria and Turkey. Rou-
mania insisted that armed ships must
not pass Baba, which is on the Danube
at the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS frontier.
With the concentration of the Rus
SLAMS, too the attitude of Roumania is
becoming daily more pro-ally. and the
Austro-G Germans, having aided Bulga-
ria in her campaign against Servia,
which is now cleared, is called upon
to protect her against aggression from
the east
Russian warships, including new
dreadnaughts, again have been seen
off the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria,
but there is no news Of any landing
or movement of troops.
On both the eastern and western
fronts the artillery, as was the case
last winter, is doing the heaviest part
of the work, and 1t appears doubtful
whether either side will attempt an
early offensive.
Italy, on the other hand, undeterred
by some activity, Is pushing her often
sive and rendering the Austrian hold
on Gorilla and Rovereto daily more
uncertain.
The Turks have again been showing
some activity in Gallipoli, and claim
miner successes against the allies.
However, no big action has hoen
fought. sr
German anxiety over Roumania Is
now matched by that Of the allied pow
ers with regard to Greece. It was be-
lieved that all difficulties between
Greece and the allies had been sur
mounted. but now it has been found
necessary to send another note to
Greece.

U. S. SOLDIERS IN CLASH
Villa Snipers Start Battle at Noga-
les, in Which One Trooper Is
kiIled.-Carranza Victory.

ogales.-Carrying out threats that
they would fight Americans before
they left the border, Villa snipers
posted In Nogales, Sonora, after Fran
cisco Villa evacuated the town, opened
fire on soldiers of the Twelfth United
States infantry posted at the border.
The Americans, who had endured
the taunts for a week, returned the
fire, and more than 20 Mexicans were
killed. The Americans had three
wounded, one of whom-Stephen Lit
subsequently died. Another
Herbert Cates-was not expected to
live. Arthur L. Saupe was shot In the
foot.
The American casualties were suf-
fered in a brush with Carranza caval-
ry. who were mistaken for Villa
troops as they rushed over hill to
enter the town.
In the exchange that followed three
Carranza soldiers were shot.
The casualties were:
Stephen Littles, aged %, Company

head: dead home, Fairmont, N. C.;
Herbert L. Gates, aged 25, Company

CANADA SEXES
HIGH GRADE WHEAT
AN ACT OF WAR GOVERNMENT
COMMANDERS OVER 2o,-
100000 BUSHELS.
PRICE TO BE ADJUSTED
England and Her Ailies.-ItaIy
To Get Large Part-Grow-
VIII Be Paid Promptly.

Ottawa.-The Canadian government
has commandeered all high-grade
wheat In elevators from Fort William,
on Lake Superior, to the Atlantic
coast
The action was taken by the Cana
dian Grain Commission under the spe-
cial war act The wheat seized was
of grades l hard and /, 2 and north
ern. 1t was the property of grain
shippers and millers. That taken is
all which was in public elevators at
Fort William, Port Arthur, Midland,
Tiffn, Port McNicholl, Collingwood,
Goderich, Kingston, Port Claiborne.
Prescott, Quebec, st. John, Montreal
and Halifax.
A revised estimate places the
amount at about 20,000,000 bushels. A
considerable amount is the property
Of American grain dealers.
1t is stated officially that the price
will be fairly adjusted and the grain
owners promptly paid by the Cana
dian government. 1t is estimated that
there still is in Canada in the hands
of the farmers and dealers west OF
Fort William 150.00OO00 bushels sur.
plus of wheat available for export. II
is expected that most of this will be
taken in the future for the use OF
Great Britain, France and Italy. The
domestic supply of Russia is more
than sufficient to meet the needs of
that country. 4
Had the Dardanelles been forced,
the surplus of Russian wheat would
have made the present action unneces
sary. While the wheat just taken was
commandeered to fill an order from
the British government for 9 largo
quantity of wheat, it is understood
most OF it will be shipped to Italy.

BULGARs ATTACK FRENCH
Principal servian Army Has Now
Been Driven to Border and Allies
Position Now Objective.

London-The Bulgars appear to
have abandoned definitely, for the
time being. their advance on Monastir
to attack the French positions on the
Cerna where fighting has already been
reported So far the French have held
their positions, but Saloniki dispatches
hint that it may be necessary to with
draw from Krivolak to the southwest,
where British French re-enforcements
are being concentrated.
While the results Of these move
ments are being watched with some
anxiety, better news from the allies
point Of view comes from the north,
where big Russian army is massing.
1t is reported that Gen. Alexei Kuropat-
kin is to command this Russian army
of invasion, which will either be sent
up the Danube or allowed passage from
Roumania to attack Yarna from the
land side Other Russian forces are
being organized at Odessa and Sebasto-
pol, and doubtless will be sent either
to the Bulgarian or Turkish coast.
1t Is reported from Switzerland that
the Austro-Germans are sending re-
endorsements into the Balkans to meet
this new Russian offensive, but other
sources state that these reinforce
ments are en- route to the western
front because the Balkan campaign is
having a direct effect on all fronts.
In Galicia the Austro-Germans are
attacking in the hope of compelling
the Russians to divert part OF the
Bessarabian army thence. While the
Austrians, opposing the Italian often
siye on the Isonizo, are unable to get
assistance, they are counter-attacking
with terrific fury, and thus far have
prevented the Italians from capturing
Gorilla, which has been hard pressed
for nearly a week.
