BULGARS TAKE M0NASTlR
Rome Dispatch Says Servians Are iT
Full Retreat-Now Depend on
French Troops.

London.-A Rome dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph says a telegram
to the Tribuna from Athens states
that the Bulgarians have captured
Monastir, and that the Servians are
in full retreat.
Little hope was held in England
that It would escape the Bulgarians
There Is possibility, however. that
the invaders will not dare to make
much greater extension Of their line.
with the French apparently estab
lished solidly on their flank.
Left in the dark as to the actual
progress of the Anglo-French cam
paign in the near east, the British
public can only hope the allies will
soon have such strong forces there
that they will enable the harassed
Servians to make a successful stand
and preserve a small portion Of their
country, as the Belgians did along the
User.
Some substance is given this hope
by unofficial news that the Anglo
French force is now assuming formid-
able proportions as we'll as by hints
that Italy is on the verge of actual
participation in the Balkan campaign.

Bill in sHouse-confers With

Washington.-Presid Wilson and
Speaker Clark of the house of repre-.

ference at the White House on the
presidents preparedness program. In
a general way the speaker assured
the president of his support. declar.
ing in favSr Of q reasonable pro-
gram"
After the conference Speaker Clark
stated he could not yet say whether
he thought the presidents program
was reasonable" as he was not ac-
quainted with the details Of the ad.
ministration's plan. The belief that
the speaker will take charge of the
fight on the floor in behalf Of the
program, however, was strengthened
by his admission that he intends to
leave the chair during the coming ses-
sion and speak in favor of certain
measures whenever occasion demands.
His keen interest in the subject OF
preparedness was manifested by his
announcement he has prepared a bill
to provide suff. cient officers for any

AvlAToRs LOST IN HAZE
Current Sweeps Four Machines Fifty
Miles Out Of Course-Finally
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 hel 4
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 11:30-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 aeroplanes landed at
Lampasas, about 60 miles northwest,
and another at Kingsland, small
town 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.

The bomb was ready for instant use
It consisted of four sticks Of dyna.

Percussion caps had already been at
tached.
No statement could be gained from
the Archbold home. Admittance to

ITALIAN TROOPS
LAND IN ALBANIA
ALLIES THREATEN TO WITH
DRAW SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
FOR GREEK COMMERCE.
ENGLAND DENIES BLOCKADE
UnIcss Greece Comedies Allies De-
mands For Safety of Troops In
Balkans, She Will Be OF the
Privilege List.

London.-Italian troops have begun
landing on Albanian territory, accord
ing to a Chiasso dispatch to the Jour
nal La Suisse forwarded by the Cen
trail News correspondent at Zurich.
Instead of declaring general block
ade OF Greek ports the allies, accord
ing to a statement issued by the Brit
ish foreign office, have withdrawn OF
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 as
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 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
Cd. 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 Kitchener's 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 ahl
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 a 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.

ASK GREECE TO DeMoBoLIzE
Only Alternative in Allies Demand 10
That Greeks Join the Entente.
Blockade Declared.

London.-The entente allies have
demanded that Greece either join with
them and fulfill her treaty obligations
to Servia or demobilize, and to impress
King Constantine that they mean what
they say the allies have declared a
commercial blockade of the Hellenic
empire, according to Athens dis
patches.
There Is no confirmation of these
statements here, but 1t is certain that
Lord Kitchener, the British war sec
retary, who had an hours audience
with the king of Greece, and afterward
saw Premier Skouloudis, took firm
stand.
The Greek cabinet met to consider
the situation. The Greek government
again has affirmed Its friendliness te
the allies, but has not taken the steps
required to prevent Greece from being
counted among the frieends OF the
central powers.
The entente allies will not permit
any delay; the position of the Servian
armies makes any prolongation of the
present uncertainty impossible. AL
ready the Servians are making what
may be their last stand before Monas.

TO ENCOURAGE SAVINGS.
England Will Issue War Loan Bonds
Of the Value Of $500.

London.-To attract larger part Of
the savings of the working classes, the
government puposes to issue war loan
bonds of the value of IS, or multiples
thereof, bearing five per cent interest.
In announcing this in the House Of
Commons, Reginald McKenna, chan
cellor of the exchequer, said subscrip-
tions to war loan vouchers-the plan
previously adopted to attract small
subscribers-hadp proved disappointing.
These subscriptions aggregated only
325,000,000. The working classes, ne
said. evidently preferred 2k per cent
from the savings banks to investment
in loan which was liable to fluctu-
ate.

APOLOGY REFUSED TO U. s.
Germany, However, Agrees to Pay In
demnity For Lusitania Victims sus
10 Against Arbitration.

has agreed
to nav to the United States an fndeni
nifty for the 115 American lives iost
when the Lusitania was torpedoed Dy
a German submarine last May. Ter
many, however, refuses to apologize to
the United States for the sinking OF
the liner. :.
This information has been received
from a source Of unimpeachable au-
thority. 1t transpires that Count Won
lBernstorff, the German ambassador,
Affered the indemnity at this recent
conference with Secretary Of State
Lansing. At the same time he trans
mittSd the refusal of the German gov
ernmept to make the disavowal de-
mandedSby President Wilson. 1t IL said
by persons conversant with the Lusi'
tania negotiations that the Berlin gov
ernment is seeking to unload some OK
the moral responsibility on Great Brit
ain.
It is stated that families which lost
members on the Lusitania have been
approached by emissaries Of the Ger
man government with proposal to
sign statement that they regard the
British government fully as liable as
Germany for the killing of American
passengers on the liner. The Germans
maintain that Great Britain shares in
the responsibility for the destruction
of the Lusitania because the British
government insisted on transporting
war munitions ON a passenger vessel
carrying Americans.
In one instance, it Is alleged that
father and mother who lost a son on
the Lusitania were informed by the
German emissary that II they would
sign the declaration stating that the
British government was equally as re-
sponsible as Germany, they could
name the amount of indemnity for the
loss of their son and it would be paid
at once by a high German official in
the country.
German embassy officials deny that
any agent is submitting propositions of
this character on behalf of the Ger
man government.
The ambassador and the secretary
Of state did not discuss the amount OF
the proposed indemnity. It is known,
however that the German government
contemplates an offer Of $1,000 for
each American life lost-a total OF
$575, 200.
