Bulgarian onslaught which has begun
with extraordinary vigor.
What Greece will do in event the
allied troops are forced back over the
Greek border is still a matter of
speculation. message from Greece
says the government will extend to the
SerbianS the same privilege as those
accorded to the French and British in
case of their encroachment on Greek
territory, but in view of the fact that
no definite announcement has been
made as to what these privileges will
be further than the original statement
of Premier Skouloudis that the allied
troops would be permitted to reach
the sea unmolested, the intentions of
Greece remain obscure.
On the Galician front the Russians,
while admitting they have yielded
some ground in the neighborhood of
Styr forts, do not concede they have
been forced back across the river as
is claimed in the German official COM
munication of yesterday. Further de-
tails of this fighting will be necessary
to determine whether the Russians
have lost the town of Czartorysk, and
whether Russian control of the KoVel-
Sarny railwaySis thereby endangered.
French ana Greeks Clash. @ssss
Berlin, Nov. 16.-Greek and French
troops have clashed at Saloniki mes

The French tried to occupy a Greek
ammunition tower and were forcibIv
prevented from doing so by the
Greeks. Later the French authorities
apologized, saying 1.-The affair was y

Shah Flees Teheran.
Petrograd, Nov. 16.-Fearing that
plotting and counter plotting by the
Germanfc and entente allies represen-
tatives will end in bloodshed in Te-
heran, the shah has left the Persian
capital with his ministers
A Teheran dispatch received today
says the Persian rulers Departure
virtually q flight, occurred Monday
1t was not stated what city was his
destination but it was understood sew
eral days ago that he would seek
refuge in Ispaham. Probably he will
make that place his headquarters

on the editorial writer's of the LONDON
morning papers, who for months had
been assuming that Mr.. Churchill was
wholly responsible for what has been
termed plumbers in carrying out the
war operations" and who had been
rather lavish in beStowing adverse
criticism upon him. They now are in
clined to blame the government for
not making these revelations before
and seem to find difficulty in making
amends to Mr.. Churchill
The Times, in an editorial, frankly
absolyes the retiring minister.

FAIL To AGREE ON
THE PORTSMOUTH
Harbor Board Meets - Old
SIoop of War May Not be
Used in Celebration.
MIGHT NOT BE HERE JULY 5
Board of Aldermen Get Legal
Opinion on Contract Offered
by John H. Gregory.
WIGHT NOT BE HERE JULY 5

In view OF the uncertainty Of the
old-time war sloop Portsmouth ar
irving here In time for participation
in the safe and sane Fourth of July
celebration on July s, and the possi-
bility OF an abrogation of the city's
contract with John H. Gregory by
executing new agreement, the
Board OF Aldermen failed to make a
contract to permit the dismantling
and breaking up of the old craft here
at its meeting last night. The Board
of Harbor Commissioners met In spe-
cial session prior to the council meet
Ing to prepare recommendations for
presentation to the aldermen. The
Board of Aldermen secured legal
opinion on the contract subject from
City Attorney Andrew J. Wight and
then decided not to enter into a new
contract with Mr.. Gregory at this
time. 1t was left understood how
ever that Mr.. Gregory could do his
best to have the Portsmouth here for
exhibition on July and In consider
alton for this 1t was believed there
would be no difficulty In permitting
him to dfsmantle the vessel at his
old marine graveyard, which he has
sold to the city.
The harbor commissioners re-
ceived a communication from Mr..
Gregory in which he set forth that
for the consideration Of 81, he would
bring the Portsmouth here for exit
bition purposes and was to be per-
mitted to dismantle it at the local
graveyard. However, he could not
guarantee that he would have the
vessel here July S.
The harbor commissioners framed
q set of recommendations in which
they suggested to the council that for
the consideration of 81 Mr.. Gregory
be permitted to bring the vessel here,
exhibit 1t and dismantle 1t. The har-
Dor commissioners had been given to
understand that such an agreement
would not affect the existing contract
between the city and Mr.. Gregory,
under which he Is to clean up at the
grave yard within given time. The
harbor commissioners also recon-
mended that provision be made to
protect the city against accidents in
cident to the exhibition of the yes
sell
When the recommendations came
up before the council Alderman F.
William Hilker moved that they be
received and adopted. A discussion
followed and City Attorney Wight
was sent for He was shown the
communications and then gave his
opinion privately to a few Of the al
dermen. 1t is understood that he
held that the existing contract would
be abrogated by the making of an
other one.
Several of the aldermen held that
the board would be put up for ridi-
cule should a contract be made and
the vessel was not here on July 5.
They stated that there might be a
loud protest from residents in the
southern section If one or more ves-
sells were brought here to be
broken up.

William ]. Lansley, who was presi-
dent of the corporation until the
Webb interests secured control, and
who still continues as the concern s
representative in this city. could not
be located at his Office today, but 1t
is believed the purpose of the pro-
posed mortgage is to give the COM
pany funds to build through line
between New York and Washington,
and allow it to perfect Its automatic
system of telephones in this city and
vicinity. The corporation, since the
new interests secured control, has
endeavored to popularize the new
automatic instrument, which does
away with the "hello" girls, and
which has worked successfully In
several large western cities. II the
corporation is allowed to negotiate
the proposed mortgage 1t Is likely
that the company will install several
thousand of the automatic tele-
phones In the city Each telephone
is accompanied with Disc bearing
numbers. and BY making certain
combinations the patron secures con
nection with a party without the in
termediate service of an operator.

Q. S. Working For Peace.

Washington, June 15-The United
States is doing everything in its pow
ed to encourage peace propaganda,
but Vt is of necessity limited by the
attitude of the belligerents.
President Wilson today explained
this to callers to whom he contra
dicted reports that America is the
only neutral nation which is not en-
deayoring to find a way to stop the
war. No comment was Forthcoming
from the President concerning for
mer Secretary Bryan's resignation.
He would not discuss the statement
Mr. Bryan has since issued.
A petition asking that the United
States join other neutrals in working
for peace and signed by 125 college
presidents and other educators.
reached the white house by mail to-
day. 1t was said that it would be
brought to the Presidents attention
in the regular order.
The argument is advanced that Ger
many has come to realization that
the crest of the wave of her successes
has been reached, if not passed. 1t Is
said the fnadequacy or arms ana am
which has held back the al
lies, particularly the Russians, has
been IN part counteracted by the
munition factories of Europe, coupled
with the huge supplies purchased in
the United States. The TeutOnic ad-
vance into Russia, 1t is reported, has
been halted because from the arctic
port of Archangel are again coming
shell, shrapnel and small arms am
The situation is further complicated
for Germany by the recent political
Developments In Greece, where a vic
tory for the "war party" of ex-Premier
yenizelos is accepted as indicating
more than probable accession of a
Greek army to assist the allies in the
