Neutral Ships May Leave. but Had to

The text Of the communication fol.
fols:
"The vice admiral commanding the
eastern Mediterranean squadron of the
allied fleets has declared q blockade
of the Bulgarian coast in the Aegean
sea, commencing from a. m. on the
10th inst.
"Forty-eight hours grace from the
moment of the commencement Of the
blockade was assigned for the depart
ure Of neutral vessels from the block
AIDED area"
The strip of Bulgarian coast border
ing the Aegean sea, against which
warships of the Anglo-French eastern
Mediterranean squadron have estab-
lished a blockade, runs from Saritcha-
key, distance of about 80 miles. It
consists of territory obtained from
Turkey as result of the Balkan war.
The chief seaports along the coast
are Dedeaghatch, Porto Lagos, Marc
MIA and Mecri. Running parallel with
the shore line at distance varying
from to 10 miles is the Saloniki-
Constantinople railroad. The coast OF
Turkey to the east and south of Bull.

ARMY, GRAB SEAPORT
AND STRUMITSA.
ATTORNEY CARSON RESIGNS
Ulster Leader, Attorney General in
Coalition Ministry, Resigns Cab-
net-Slow Austro-G Germans
Italian Navy to Help.

London.-The reports that the allies
have occupied Strumitsa and landed
at Enos, which was recently trans
ferred from Turkish to Bulgarian rule,
have caused more optimistic feeling
throughout the allied countries.
An important incident on the British
side of the war is the resignation from
the cabinet of Sir Edward Carson, the
Ulster leader, who was appointed at
torney general last May on the forma-
ton of the coalition ministry.
AS to the progress of the near east
ern campaign, it is known from both
Serbian and German accounts that
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's army
is meeting with greater resistance
than was expected. Although it is
probable that the Serbians eventually
must fall back on stronger strategic
positions in the north, the fact that
the allies are bringing heavy forces
against the Bulgarians and SO placing
them that the Bulgarians will be COM
PEELED to divide their armies gives
hope here that the Germans may be
baked in their latest attempt to reach
the sea and bring assistance to the
Turks.
All along the Serbians and their
Montenegro neighbors, who also are
being attacked, are offering very stub
born resistance to both Austro-G Ger
mans and Bulgarians, and while they
have given up number of towns and
positions, they have not reached the
line on which they expect to make
their stand
The Bulgarians, so far as can be
learned, have made progress only in
the Zlotokopska valley, near the river
MOrava, north Of the town of Vranya
where they blew up a bridge. There
is no confirmation, however, of the
report that they cut the railway in
this district, the bridge which they de
stroyed being a wooden one near the
| railway. The Bulgarian force which
penetrated the valley is not large
one.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
the capture of Strumitsa is of real
strategic value, as it's occupation per
mits the defense of the southern end
of the railway and compels the Bull
garians to keep a force there.

GERMAN RAIDERS WORRY.

London.-The proposal of replying
to German air raids by bombing his
sleeping towns as he bombs ours"
received an enthusiastic Endorsement
at massmeeting held recently in the
great hall of the Cannon Street hotel,
in the financial district of London.
This action is the result of a Yep
pelin raid on London Oct. IA, when
IS persons were killed and ia in
jured. Fourteen of the 55 persons
killed and Is of the ia wounded were
military casualties, according to an
announcement made later by the Off

The medical evidence at the inquest
on the Is victims in the London area
of the Zeppelin raid last week dis
closed that the death of half of them,
the majority of whom were women,
was due to heart failure or shock re-
sulting from the terrifying effect of
the exploding bombs and tn, gun fire.
