REVOLUTION SPREADS
AMONG THE ALBANANS
Rome Sees Plot Of Turks and Aus
TRANS to Involve
Italy.

ROME, Italy. January 6.-The revolu-
tion in Albania is extending. The as
sertion is made here that it is being
fomented by certain Austrian and
Turkish elements with the object of
forcing Servia and Montenegro to en-
ploy some of their troops along the
Albanian frontiers. Another object. it
is said, is to engage Italy more deeply
in Albania, thus distracting her atten-
ton from the main conflict.
Rome newspapers. without distinc-
tion. urge the government not to fall
into the trap. as 1t is called. and to re-
serve all the energies of the country
for the conservation of Italy's supreme
interests as involved in the European
war.
Explains Situation.
Baron Sonnino, Italian minister of for
eign affairs. explained before coun-
Gil of the ministers the situation in
Albania as revealed by reports received
from the Italian minister at Durazzo
and the consuls in Albania.
Baron Sonnino told the ministers of
the steps that should be taken in Al
bania and the ministers authorized him
to proceed with such measures as he
considers necessary and which were
agreed to by the premier. The opinion
prevails here that Italy will abstain
from interference with internal affairs
of Albania beyond the occupation of

SAYS PLANTS EXHIBIT
SYMPTOMS Of DEATH
Lecturer Also Asserts Tney Are In
fuenced by Anaesthetics
and Drugs.

| That plants, like animals. respond to
| anesthetics, drugs and other stimu-
lants. and exhibit all the symptoms OF
death agonies, was demonstrated to a
large audience of Washington scien-
lists in a lecture at the Cosmos Club
last night by Prof. J. Chunder Bose, a
| native of Calcutta, India, one of the
worlds authorities in the field of cleo
trical physiology The lecture was

Account Of His Discoveries.

upon him by the British government
the high distinctions of the decoration
of the Companionships Of the Star of
India and of the Indian Empire. speaks
English fuently and for more than an
hour entertained his audience with an
account of his principal discoveries OF
plant life phenomena. These discov-
cries show that there is not single
physiological phenomenon in the ami
NAL which is not duplicated in the
plant.
The Bengalese scientist conducted an
experiment with an apparatus invented
by him which enables the plant to
show on the screen that it feels or re-
spends to all kinds of mechanical and
chemical injuries much as animals do,
and that at the moment of death con-
vulsive movements take place.
In Form of Light Wave.
BY pinching a caulifiower plant with
this apparatus the sensation expert
enced by the plant was thrown on the
screen in the form of a light wave.
Prof. Bose exhibited diagrams show
ing how it is possible to measure the
speed of plants nervous impulses and
demonstrating the existence of throb-
bing, pulsating organs.

BIT ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Nov. 15.--In his speech in

Churchill declared that if any opera
tions in the history Of the world were
worth carrying through with sus-
tanned fury and utter disregard of

were worth it.

dure, the campaign of 1916 should
be decided against Germany by her

Regarding the Dardanelles, Mr..
Churchill declared that the admiral
on the spot said they could not be
taken with rush, but that the forti-
fications might be reduced gradually
by bombardment. Admiral Sir John
Fisher then first sea lord, was op-
posed to a reduction of Great Brit
aims naval strength in home waters,
but never criticized the method of at
tack on the Dardanelles.
Mr.. Churchill declared he did not
receive clear guidance from Admiral
Fisher before the expedition was de-
cided upon, or the subsequent firm
support where to he was entitled.

marines were sent to Antwerp to
