MYSTERY ENSHROUDS HANGING OF NEGRESS
 NEAR COLUMBUS
Body Found Hanging to Limb of a Tree-Supposed to Have Been Implicated in Burn
 ing Barn

Columbus Miss, December 10-(Speciai.) The finding of the body of Cordelia Stey- enson. a negress, hanging to the limb of tree near Newhope, a small station on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. 10 miles east of columbus, yesterday afternoon, is still a mysterious affair. Efforts to learn just how the woman met her death were unavailing today. The lips of the citizens of the community are sealed.
 The suppositon is that she was lynched for implication in the burning of the barn of Edward Franks, a VI .Iite man several weeks ago She was arrested soon after the barn was burned, and held in jail for several days. She was later released as no evidence that would implicate her could be secured. It was at first thought that her son set fire to the barn. He disappeared about the time the barn was burned and has not been apprehended
 The body remained suspended to the limb of the tree until today, when mem bers of the woman s race cut 1t down. At first they refused to go near the scene on account of superstition and from fear of being implicated in the affair.

Necessitated by Superior Forces Opposed to Them and Outflanking
 Movement
GREECE HARDLY
 CAN DELAY LONGER
Question Is What Attitude King Con- Stantine Will Take if Teutons Follow Allies Into Greek
 Territory

London December 1o.-The Anglo French forces have commenced d general retirement from southern Servia, and it is suggested that their destination is the region of Salonki. This retirement was necessitated. not only by the superior forces which the Bulgarians and Germans opposed to the allies, but to a threat of an outflanking movement from Pe- and also to danger to their line of com munication from Bulgarian irregulars who had crossed the Greek frontier.
 Both the British and the French forces, who are well supplied with artillery and machine guns. engaged in four days battle in which they inflicted very heavy losses on the Bulgarians who fought with desperation and the greatest courage. Att tack after attack was repulsed, but the Bulgarians still came on and each even- ing the allies fell back to new positions where events of the day before were re- peated
 The question now arises whether the
 
 allies across the Greek frontier and what attitude the Greek government will adopt. King Constantine has promised to use his army to protect the retiring force if they undertake to reimbark and has shown his good faith by preventing Bull garian raiding bands from destroying the allies communications but it is doubt full whether the allies will agree to evacuate Saloniki, which under the guns of their ships would provide a good de- fensive position and base from which other operations could be undertaken. It is on this point that negotiations be- tween Greece and the entente allies are now proceeding and the feeling here and at Paris and Rome is given briefly in the following paragraph printed i'll large type by the Evening Star:
 'The moment is approaching when the Greek government must decide. The al lies, now more than ever before, require freedom of movement to SalonilSL Hitn- erto their demand had been met by pro crastination and d refusal now will mean war"
 While retiring from southern Servia the allied forces have been given effective assistance by the Montenegrins and Ser vians who fled into Albania. This is shown in the resistance which both the Servians and the Montenegrins are of- fering the invaders. The Montenegrins have been fighting a series of rear guard actions and delivering counter attacks which the Austrians admit seriously de- layed their advance The Austrians are now attempting new advance from the region of Berani west of Ipek.
 The Servians, who are receiving sup plies from the Adriatic coast, still show activity. The Italians also have rein forced the garrison at Valona (Avlona, from which place they are sending re- lief to the Servians coming from Ochrida lake district.
 There is no further news from Meso- potarnia where, according to last ac- counts. the Turks were attacking Kut- Fl -Amara and had actually reached a point on the river below that town. the success of the Russians in dispers- ing band of Persian rebels

Diplomatic Relations
 With Austria Under
 q Most Severe Strain

developed today when it was disclosed that an Austrian submarine which shelled the American Standard Oil tank ship Pe- trolite in. the Mediterranean last week, sent q boarding party and took part of the ships provisions. This news came in a consular dispatch from Algiers and %:ts flie ffist official word of the safety of the Petrolite, which was not greatly damaged by the shelling and proceeded to Algiers with one man slightly wounded
 So far as the Petrolite incident is con cerned, there probably will be no action by the state department until more com plete reports are received, showing the exact circumstances under which the ves- sel was attacked If the tanker was shelled while trying to escape without re- gard to the warning from the subma- rine, there would be no complaint on that score When she did stop and submit to search, however, in the view of off cials here. the submarine commander, on finding her a neutral ship bound on legit- innate business, had no right to seize her property.
 Warshps in the past, when in, dire need of food for their crews, often have held up merchantmen without regard to their nationality and carried off what they wanted, giving receipts to assure ultimate payment for what was taken. Under such circumstances, it is said, the governments concerned have not been inclined to re- gard the proceeding as a very serious breach of their rights, provided a mer- chantman was not left without sufficient supplies to make port.
 Seizure of supplies from neutral ves- sel by a submarine, however, raises a new and interesting point in international law. It is pointed out that if this practice be- came general belligerent submarines preying upon an emeny's commerce prac- tically would be unlimited in their radius of action and almost wholly independent of bases of supplies.

Washington, December 10.--Diplomatic relations with Austria are in grave dan ger of being broken off over the sink ing of the Italian liner Ancona, with the loss of American lives. All officials here continue to preserve silence cssstssthe ne- gotiations with Austria, but through the veil which has been drawn about the situation is seen a crisis just as grave as that which attended the submarine negotiations with Germany
 The question of continuing diplomatic relations may be said to depend upon a satisfactory reply to Secretary Lansing S note which now probably is before the Vienna office, demanding a disavowal of the sinking of the Ancona. reparation for the lives lost and assurances that pas senger ships shall not be attacked with out warning or an opportunity for non- combatants to take places of safety.
 The situation tonight is tense and is fraught with possibilities. It is compared to the last days of the Arabic negotia- tions with Germany, when probably no one but President Wilson himself knew how close the country was to a severance of diplomatic relations with Berlin
 Officials of the state department will not discuss the American note. even so far as to say if they know whether it has reached Vienna or when they ex- pected to permit publication of it in this country It is taken for granted in off cial circles generally, however, that the communication cabled last Tuesday must have been delivered before this, and a reply is anxiously awaited.
 A further complication to the situation

CHANGES MADE IN
 CAPITOL OFFICES
Equalization Board Now Has the Off, fices Occupied by State High
 way Department

Montgomery, December 1o-tSpecial) Lack of office space in the department of the state board of equalization is re- sponsible for the issuance today of an executive order removing that depart ment to the offices on the new north wing of the capitol occupied by the state highway department, and the transfer of that department to the offices occupied by the taxing board. The change will be made immediately.
 The boards of equalization has been cramped for office space since the en- acment of laws increasing the duties of the department, and as a result of this overcrowded conditions there has been at times a serious drawback to the trans action of official business. The taxing department, even under the last admin istration, was crowded for room, but since the new administration began con ditions have been made considerably worse.
 The road maps and other equipment of the highway department which have been on exhibition in one of the rooms of the highway department, will be removed to the floor of the house of representatives. which is now being used by Dr. Thomas M Owen. director of the department of archives and history, as a museum.
