NEW FOREIGN MINISTER
MEANS JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP
Washington Inclined to Believe New
Official Understands L.
=. Position.

Baron Ishii's assumption OF the Of
fee OF foreign affairs Of Japan, in the
opinion Of the officials at Washing
ton, will have an important and prob
able favorable influence upon the re-
lations between the United States and
Japan, particularly In case there is a
revival in the future OF the suspend
ed negotiations regarding the alien
land ownership legislation Of the
state Of California.
When these important exchanges
were suspended, following the lodg-
ment OF a note by tho Japanese for
eign office, practically recording dis
sent from the argument made by the
state department that the California
legislation was rot in violation OF
any of Japan's treaty rights, Baron
Ishii, then director OF the CONNER
cial bureau Of the Japanese foreign
office, paid a visit to the Pacific
coast Of the United States to investi-
gate the effect OF the California law
upon Japanese trade and the welfare
of the Japanese residents in Califor-
MIA.
His investigation was thorough
and from the fact that there has
been no effort to reopen the nego-
tiations between the two counties II
is inferred by the officials in Wash
ington that he was inclined to take a
favorable view of the attitude OF the
western people.

RUSSIANS WILL EVACUATE
THEIR BREST=LITOVSK Line
Germans in Poland Advance so Rap
idly That Positions APP
pear Untenable

Semi-official advices received in
London indicate that the Russians
have given up hope of holding their
second line of Notifications and that
the Bug front will be given up. Biel-
istok, the vital railway junction be-
tween Grodno and BrestLitovsk, is
reported being evacuated before the
advance OF a German army.
The German campaign in Poland is
coming such momentum that a very
few days should see an attack on
Brest-Litovsk. The Germans, it is
believed, are massing their main
forces for a tremendous drive on the
Russian center and the continuance
OF the enveloping movement in the
north.
Four German armies are closing in
upon Brest-Litovsk and another op-
Grating against Kovel, seeks to break
the line of communications between
this fortress and Odessa.
The speed with which develop
ments have occurred during the last
few days indicates to military ex-
perts that the eastern campaign Is
ending. 1t is expected that the great
er portion Of the Cars army will
escape the German wise, according to
best opinion, but the Germans will
rein themselves in along the COM
paratively short front Of the Bug and
release hundreds of thousands of
men for use in the Balkans and west
1t Is not believed the Germans will
attempt to go further into Russia
than the Bug lines and the reported
plan for drive on Petrograd is
secuted. The general opinion is that
the Balkans will be the next big
scene of operations with the Austro-
Germans endeavoring to hew a path
to Constantinople and relieve the
Turks before the Allies can force the
Dardanelles.

thy to Mother OF Snip

President Wilson has replied to
Mrs. Sophia Gompers, OF Brooklyn,
n. Y, mother OF William Gompers,
the sailor killed by sniper at Port
au Prince who wrote that she was
proud her son had die in the service
OF his country, but as he had been
her sole support she hoped the gov
ernment could help her.
The presidents letter, given out
at the White House, follows:
"My Dear Madam:
II have read your letter OF August
with the deepest sympathy. feel
like congratulating you on having
had n son whose dignity it was to
die in the service OF his country, but
my heart goes out to you none the
less in profound sympathy.
II am sure that 1t would be the
desire OF every one connected with
the public service to see that you
did not suffer need because OF your
sons death. I am sending your let
ter to the secretary OF the navy to in
quire whether there is any possibili-
ty under the law as II stands Of as
sisting you. fear that there Is not,
but am sure the secretary OF the
navy will wish to consider the matter
very fully.
Cordially and sincerely yours,

DEFENDS ARMS SHIPMENTS
WITH AUSTRIAN PRECEDENTS
Our Note Flatly Denies Contention
That These Make Up Un-
neutral Acts.

The state department has made
public the reply of the United States
rejecting views set forth by the Aus
tro-Hungarian government in a re-
cent note contending that exporta-
tion OF war munitions from America
to Austria's enemies was conducted
on such a scale as to be mot in con-
sonance with the definition of neu-
trality."
Though friendly, the note flatly
denies the Austro-Hungarian con-
tentior, and recalls that that coun-
try and Germany furnished NUM-
tions to Great Britain during the
Boer war, when England's enemies
could not import such supplies. In
this connection the note suggests that
had Austria and Germany refused to
sell arms to Great Britain at that
time ION the ground that to do so
would violate the spirit of strict neu-
trality." the imperial and royal gov
ernment might with greater consist
ency and greater force urge its pres
ent contention.
The note insists that the United
States is pursuing a strictly neutral
course and adhering to q principle
on which 1t would depend for NUM-
tions In the markets OF the world III
II should be attacked by a foreign
power.

GERMANS CONTINUE DRIVE
AGAINST RUSSIAN ARMIES
Won BuelOw Resumes Offensive in
the North and Polish Sector
is Advancing

Is Advancing.
The Germans, according to Berlin,
again are sweeping back tho Rus
slams. Gen. Won Buelow's army op-
Grating west of the river Dvinsk
again has taken the offensive and,
according to Berlin, has beaten the
Russians in the vicinity of Kubisko
and pushed them back in O north
easterly direction, taking more than
two thousand prisoners. To the
south the Russians, according to the
same source, made an unsuccessful
sortie from Kovno, which the Ger
mans are approaching.
In the Polish sector the Germans
are slowly advancing on Brest-Kit-
ovsk. While they continue to take
prisoners, they claim no capture Of
artillery or booty, which military OBJ
servers say indicates that the grand
dukes armies continue their orderly
retreat and that for a long time to
come will be able to prevent the Ger
mans from detaching any part of
their army for large ventures else
where.
The only evidence OF activity out
side OF Poland and the Baltic prov
ince Is on the Servian frontier, where
bombardment of Belgrade by the
Germans and Panscova by the Ser
vians has been resumed. According
to Nish, Austrian attempts to cross
the Danube near the Servian and
Roumanian borders have been re-
pused, but military experts believe
this region will be the scene Of the
next Austro-German offensive.

BALKANS LOOK FOR FRESH
TEUTON ATTACK ON SERVIA
Bulgaria's Attitude Deepen liant Upon
Concessions-ROum Be
comes Uncertain.

Austro-G German troops estimated to
number forty thousand are reported
to have begun a drive through Servia.
The attack is being launched from
the region Of Orsova, Hungaria, near
the Roumanian frontier, and presum-
ably marks the opening Of the cam
patgn to hew a patch to Turkey as
demanded in Berlin.
With this new offensive affairs in
the Balkans are brought to a crisis.
Besides threatening the f1n, elimi-
nation Of Servia, 1t also menaLus Rou-
mania, which against has refused to
permit the passage of German mill
tary material through her territory
to Turkey.
1t is pointed out in Berlin, how
ever, that all indications are that an
agreement has been reached with
Roumania, the fact that Bucharest
has released her vast stores of grain
for expectation to the central en-
pires being quoted as evidence Of
this.
The Allies for months have pre-
vented Roumania from shipping this
grain and the fact that she has at
last refused longer to heed their
warning Is taken in Berlin to mean
thoS "oi ulPiohdCy lIdS uctu sue
cessful at Bucharest.
The efforts OF both Allies and Teu-
tons now center at Sofia. So far
Bulgaria has made no move while
waiting a reply to her proposals to
the Entente powers that Servia and
Greece turn over Macedonia to her in
return for the support of her arms.
1t Is believed this answer will be
made within the next fortnight after
the assembling Of the Greek and Ser
Wan parliaments.
Servia continues to protest at what
she deems the unfairness Of the Bull
garian demands, but has shown indi-
cation that she will make conces-
sions. Greece, however, is firm in
her refusal to give up any OF the ter
ritory she acquired as a result OF the
second Balkan war.
There may be a change in her pol
icy, however. when Former Premier
Venizelos returns to power, although
dispatches from Berlin state that he
will find himself opposed by a power
full pro-German party and that King
Constantine will tender him the pre-
miership only upon the understand
ing that Greece will remain strictly
neutral. In case Bulgaria attacks
Servia, however, the Athens govern
ment Is bound by treaty to support
the Slavs.

PETROGRAD in OPTIMISM
OVER CHECK OF GERMANS
German Forces are Expected to At
tack Double Tracked Railroad
Between Nurec and Narew

PetrOgrad, Monday: The military
situation is viewed by Russian army
officers with optimism, owing to the
manner in which the Germans have
been checked at the crossings OF the
rivers Liwiec and Krzna east Of the
Siedlce-Lukow front where the in
vaders lost eight hundred prisoners
In addition to many dead and wound
ed.
Fierce battles are looked for be-
tween the Nurec and Narew rivers
and at the crossings Of the Bug. The
immediate German objective is be-
lieved to be the double-tracke rail-
road which parallels the present
fighting line, running from Ossowetz
to Bfalystok, Brest, Litovsk and Ko-
vel. This road is protected by dense
forests and by the marshes of the
upper Narew.
The apparent weakness of the Ger
man flanks has removed fear that
the Russian army would be bottled
up. Evidence Of this seeming lack
OF offensive power is found in the
reported removal Of a portion OF the
German troops from the Siedlce-Lu-
kow front, to the Baltic region. These
troops are said to have been replaced
by Austrians.
Russian army cr' les find it diff
fcult to reconcile this evidence Of
weakness with German claims to un-
diminished strength. The Russian
theory is that these claims are ad-
vanced for effect on the Balkan
states. Renewal Of the German Of
fensive against the Dvina, at Jacob
stadt, is focusing attention on the
Baltic region.

NEGRO'S LIFE IS SPARED;
SUBSTANTIAL AFFIDAVITS
Governor Manning Respites Negro
. Because White Men are Said
to Have Committed Deed

Because Of sensational allegations
contained in affidavits filed with him,
Gov. Manning Monday morning &C.
spited the death sentence of Joe NAL
ly, negro, from August 18 to Sep
tember 20, this year, in order that
the case may be reviewed by the
board Of pardons.
Malloy was convicted Of the MUIR
der OF Prentiss Moore and Guy Rog-
ers, two white boys, in Marlboro
county, the killing occurring on Nov
ember "a, 1910. Malloy has had
two trials and his case has been be-
fore the state and the federal SUI
preme courts. Malloy was brought
to the state penitentiary Saturday af-
ternoon.
While the governors office refuses
to give out the affidavits, enough of
the contents are known to state that
they allege on the night Of November

The following statement was given
out by the governors office Monday
morning relative to the respiting of
Joe Malloy:
Friday there were submitted to
Gov. Manning affidavits Of parties
claiming to have heard certain other
parties admit the killing of which
Joe Malloy has been convicted. These
afidavits were OF such nature as to
demand rigid investigation before
the infliction Of the death penalty.
Gov. Manning Immediately put in a
call for Solicitor Spears, who, how
ever, had left Darlingtaon that morn

finally reached him over the phone
late that afternoon and conferred
with him. The result was that he

ITALIAN RESEBVISTS MOB
GERMAN SAILORS In BOSTON
Waiting for Homeward Passage They
Attack Sailors and Ameri-
can Officers.

Several policemen were hurt and
sailors aboard the interned German
steamer Amerika and Cincinnati
were hit by stones and sticks Sunday
when thirteen hundred Italian re-
servists preparing to sail from Bos-
ton on the Canopic and their friends
made a demonstration against the
ships.
In the early disturbance which de-
veloped about formation Of a parade
OF the reservists in North square,
three policemen were injured, being
stabbed. Ten arrests were made in
both outbreaks.
The body OF reservists, said to be
the largest to leave this country on
one ship since the war began, was
made up Of Italians from New Eng
land. They had paraded to the com
monwealth pier in South Boston, on
one side of which lay the Canopic,
which was to give them passage to
Italy, while on the other side were
moored the Amerika and Cincinnati.
When the two stewards from the
Cincinnati, in their uniforms, were
espied on the pier, the crowd jostled
them. Both resisted and were Joined
by a watchman on the dock. The
three men were beaten badly before
they were rescued by police.
The crowd, angered by the rescue,
threw stones at the big liners,
smashing port hole glasses and deck
fittings, and striking several sailors
on the decks. The mob then rushed
to the main pier building.
The United States customs station
was stoned but eight officers forced
the crowd back at the point of re-
volvers. Shots were fired in the air
and were answered from the crowd,
but later no bullet wounds could be
found.
Officers used their clubs but few
Of the disturbers bore marks Of the
fray. The North square disorders re-
suited from the attempt of some of
the reservists to make fellow coun-
trymen who were not going to sail
with them shout their allegiance to
their flag, according to the police.
Officers attempted to qnell these
small disturbances only to have both
sides turn on them, and stones were
thrown and knives drawn by the
crowd. One officer was slashed
across the cheek and arms

BALKANS TO DECIDE SOON
BETWEEN PEACE AND WAR
London Views Outcome With "De-
gree of Pessimism''-Teuto
Prepare for Action.

London, Monday: The Balkan sit
crisis Is drawing near a climax. The
national assemblies of Servia and
Greece are in session with the prob
ability OF definite decision as re-
CARDS Bulgaria territorial demands,
upon which hinge the question OF
united action Of the Balkan States
with the Allies.
In the best posted quarters the
outlook Ia regarded with a degree of
pessimism. 1t is expected Servia will
seek a compromise and Greece will
reject the Bulgarian contentious.
Reports from Athens indicate that
King Constantine Is insisting the new
cabinet must maintain strict neutral
ity, the effect of which would be to
withhold Greece from participating in
plan Of united Balkan cooperation
with the Allies.
In the meantime there are many
evidences OF ,Austro- German prepara-
tions to deal with the Balkan situa-
tion. According to information from
Bucharest, German army corps have
been concentrated near the junction
OF Hungary. Roumania and Servia
This, with the bombardment OF Bel
grade and the activity Of Austrian
artillery at many points along the
Danube. lends support to reports OF a
great Austro German offensive in the
Balkans.
The outcome OF the crisis is await
ed most anxiously, as determining
whether the Allies will receive new
support from the Balkans and wheth-
er Germany's supplies Of ammuni-
tion for Turkey will continue to be
shut off by the Balkan barrier.
Bulgarian officials do not expect
an agreement will be reached, but
the Servian minister at London, M.
Boshkovitch, told the Associated
Press he believed middle ground
would be found on which 1t will be
possible to unite the Balkan States
