SERBIA REJECTS OFFER
Enemies Would Wrest All Macedonia
From Her

Saloniki, Nov. 26--I am able to
confirm authoritatively the report
that Germany, through Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen, offered Serbia
separate peace. The offer was cate
gorically rejected by the Serbian
Crown Prince at Prinzrend.
The message proposed the i'm
mediate cessation Of hostilities, the
Austro- Germans, Bulgarians and Ser
bans to retain the positions they then
occupied. This was to be followed by
q meeting of plenipotentiaries for the
conclusion Of peace treaty on the
basis of the cession to Bulgaria of
the northeast corner of Serbia from
Knishevatz to Prot, all of Serbian
Macedonia, the vilayct of Uskub and
old Serbia remaining Serbian.
The battlefield between the Ser
bian and German lines was proposed
as the place for the meeting of the
Ieniputentiaries.

CHURCH SPLIT FEARED
Some of st. Anne's Members Threaten
To Withdraw.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 24.-The wide
divergence of opinion among the yes
try and members Of the congregation
of St. Anne's Protestant Episcopal
Church. that terminated in the rec
tor, the Rev. DR.. Joseph P. McComas,
rendering his resignation is topic
of general discussion mere. aeiiglouS
circles are stirred as they have not
been in a score of years.
The vestry held stormy meeting
Monday night, during which the resi-
enation of the RevN-7r. MeComas was
considered, and after a vote had neen
taken on the question of accepting
the resignation and of refusing to ac>
cept it. both of which were defeated u,
il was decided to defer action until
the annual meeting o. the vestry on
April %.
The attempt Of DR.. McComas' TO es-
tablish the English ritual OF worship
is ut the root of the trouble. Some OF
the members of the vestry opposed inc
now methods, but many Of the con-
gregation approved of the Innovation
For months the friends of DR.. Me-
Comas, and those who took the oppo-
site view endeavored to come to an
understanding, bur without result.
Criticism is made Of the VcStry S
action Monday night. 1t is argued
that the vcstry should have either
zone on record as accepting or reject
inc the resignation, instead OF allow
ing the matter to hang fire for anoth-
ar FIVE months. In the meantime a
number Of the church members, 1t is
said, have declared their intention OF
leaving the church if the present form
Of worship is continued.
Another ground for disagreement is
found in a dancing exhibition which
was given several nights ago at ba'
zaar held in the State armory for the
benefit OF the church. The committed
in charge of the bazaar engaged Miss
Heffenger, of New York, to illustrate
aesthetic dancing. This brought forth
n great deal Of unfavoraDle comment
It was argued that such perform
ance was better suited to the stage
| than Il church entertainment

New York, Nov. 2G-Carl Schulz,
the first deserter from the German
army to reach New York, arrived here
today on the freighter Noorderdyk'
on which ne slowed away at Rotter-
dam. He will be taken to Ellis Island
today and his exclusion from tins

The story Of his escape from ms

from the interior of Belgium to Rot
terdam reads like movie drama. Ht

not enough food to 20 around and the

 E. H.

Owing to the lateness of the season they win not attempt to put the railroad in shape for locomotives and will probably send the ore down with dogomobiles before the freeze up of the ocean.

He reports that plenty Of good pay has been found on Livengood Creek, and there is some promising ground on Hess creek; al- SO there is O large watershed with big streams and good gold prospects. Thus far but one hole has been sunk but O dozen outfits intond working there this winter and the next three months should demonstrate the val- no of the ground.
 Since leaving Fairbanks Mr. Joslin received word that Gus.
