yTIHE brothers parted at the door of the
office, Sydney. with an i'll grace ac-
cepting his brothers invitation to dine at
Hampstead that evening and to stay with
him so long as he remained in London.
AS soon as Eustace was out OF sight he
called a cab and was driven to Gilbert
Huron's rooms in Charges street.
Huron was ensconced in an armchair
reading the newspaper when he arrived.

that only one man struck him, and, final

TEuT0NIC ALLIES NOW
OCCUPY M0NAST|R

London, Dec. 4-Athens dispatches
say that Monastir has surrendered to
a joint force of Germans, Austrians
and Bulgarians.
Communication between Saloniki
and Monastir was severed Thursday
It is not believed, however, that there
were many German or Austrians in
the force reported to have taken the
city.
Practically all of the Serb popula.
ton has left Monastir. Bulgar and
Greek residents, who constitute a
large proportion Of the total, remain
in the city. The former have been
rejoicing at the invaders approach.
The latter undoubtedly can depend
upon protection of their lives and
property.
The Serb southern army under Gen
eral Vassich, which has been making
Monastir it's base, is believed to have
moved to the westward toward, or
perhaps across, the Albanian frontier.
Speedy development of both Rus
sian and Italian Balkan campaigns is
looked for in official circles

to Be Unsatisfactory.

Nothing in American Protest to War;
ran tPutting Blame on Govern
mont or Submarine Captain.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The official
text of Austria's reply to the Ameri.
can note on the Ancona, made public
here, reveals that the Vienna govern
ment denies that the views present
ed by the United States, even if cor
rect, warrant the blame for the dis
aster being placed on the commander
OF the submarine.
The reply denies also that blame
can be placed on the Austro- Hun
garian government, even if "a most
rigorous legal construction were ap-
piled to the judgment of the case.
The note also states that the Aus
tro-Hungarian government is unable
to determine what the United States
intended to indicate when it mention
ed the attitude which Germany had
assumed toward submarine warfare
1t was agreed seemingly in official
quarters that the official text does
not minimize a realization of the
situation which was impressed on Of
ficials by the unofficial cables, but it
also was apparent that the door to
further negotiations is not closed.
Second Note Completed.
President Wilson has completed
work on the second note to Austria.
Friendly relations, it was stated au-
thoritatively, are nearing the break,

will be asked to make Immediately to

While the word "ultimatum" was

unsatisfactory.

CHINESE THRONE
TO YUAN Sill KA|

Peking, Dec. 12.-Yuan Shi Kai,
president Of the Chinese republic, has
accepted the throne of China rendered
to him by the council of state.
Acting as parliament the council
of state canvassed the vote on the
question of a change in the form of
the government of China to a mon
archy and found that the votes of L.
1913 representatives out of 2,043 quail
fled to vote on the proposition were
favorable to change.
The council Immediately sent to
Yuan Shi Kai petition urging him to
accept the throne. He declined at
first, but when the petition was for
warded to him a second time he &C.
cepted, with the proviso that he would
continue to act as president until a
convenient time for the coronation.
