 SHOULD BE KNOWN SOON.
GERMANS TAKE NOViPAZAR
1t Is Said the Servians Are Now Max ing What May Be Their Last Stand Before Monastir and Also on
 the Plains of kossovo.

London.-The entente allies have demanded that Greece either join with them and fulfill her treaty obli- gation to Servia or demobilize, and to impress King Constantine that they mean what they say, the allies have declared commercial blockade of the Hellenic empire. according to Athens dispatches.
 There is no confirmation of these statements here, but it is certain that Lord Kitchener, the British war sec. retary. who had an hours audience with the king of Greece, and after ward saw Premier Skouloudis, took a firm stand.
 The Greek cabinet met to consider the situation and a few hours should show Greece's attitude. The Greek government again has affirmed its friendliness to the allies, but has not taken the steps required to prevent Greece from being counted among the friends 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 Mona stir and also on the plains of Kos soyo.
 The Bulgarians, it is true, are being held up by unfavorable weather con ditions, but they must be almost at the gates of the Macedonian capital and the Austro-Germans and Butga rians are slowly but surely pressing back the northern army.
 The Germans announce the capture of Novipazar and are therefore on the direct road to Mitrovitza, which has been the Servian capital since Nish fell into the hands of the Jul- garians.

That Rules of Body Should Not
Be Made Party Measures.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O-The dem
ocratic senators will resume their eau
Gus tomorrow prepared for lively
discussion of the proposed cloture rule
which the special rules committee is
expected to recommend. Senator
Owen, chairman of the committee,
stated he expected the caucus to ap-
prove the rule and the senate to take
similar action later
Mindful of party opposition to the
Champ Clark rule, they are endeavor-
ing to phrase it so it will be satisfac-
tory 10 several Progressive Republi-
cans whose votes they expect to win.
It is expected majority senators, op-
posing the rule, viii fight the report
in the caucus on the ground that a re.
vision Of rules shouldn't be made a
party measure Later they will op
pose it in the senate, contending the
senate shouldn't tie itself with a re-
striction similar to those adopted in
the house
The proponents OF the rule propose
to make recommendations along the
line Senator Norris. of Nebraska, has
suggested This will limit each mem
ber to three hours general debate on
each measure and fifteen minutes on
amendments. There will be no time

Company Go up in Smoke;
Thirty Killed and Many Injured
NO CLUE TO POSSIBLE
CAUSE OF EXPLOSION
Terrible Are Scents Surrounding
the Affair; Bodies Are Blown
Across the River Fom Site Of

WILMINGTON. Nov. 30. - Thirty
were killed and seven fatally injured
by a terrific explosion of four bins of
black powder in the Upper Hagley
yard of the Dupont Powder Company.
The cause is unknown. Officials stat
ed it would probably always remain
@ mystery It is said there is no evil
dence TO support the rumor that an
outside agency was responsible.
Survivors described the scenes Of
greatest horror following the eTplo-
sion Pieces Of flesh and shreds Of
clothing Of victims were found hang
ing on a few trees remaining in the
vicinity only one body was idenu-
fed, portions Of il being found hang
ing on a tree across the Brandywine.
Shreds oil clothing established the +
identification.
a rigid investigation of the explo-
sion will be instituted. Every EN-
ploye near the scene viii be examined
I'm the hope of some explanation The
explosion occurred ia a packing house
wters black powder pellets are pre-
pean belligerents.
The packing house is situated In the
historic valley of the Brandywine and
was one of large group of buildings
constituting the plant There were
three explosions The FIRST one was
light The second was heavier and
the third q terrific blast was felt
plainly i'm Wilmington three miles a.
way.
Witnesses saw q great column Of
smoke rise a hundred feet above the
spot where the packing house stood
When It disappeared there remained
only q deep hole I'm the ground No
portion of the packing house was
found after the explosion The adjoin
ing buildings We're greatly damaged
The fence was blown away and tele
phone and telegraph wires torn from
their poles Men were injured outside
the buildings They were struck by
flying debris. Several lost their eyes
and limbs Of others were torn from
their bodies
A survivor offered the theory of the
possibility that some powder was
spilled on the ground and possibly ig
nited by the spark from a horses
hoof or by the wheel of car.
The explosion was followed by 4
rush of relatives nearby, TO the scene
It was necessary TO place a Gordon a
bout the excavation TO prevent then
rushing into the hole The guard a
bout the plant was increased tonight
