BRITISH WARSHlP
 FLEET IS READY,
 OFFICERS ASSERT

London, Nov Graphic descrip- tions of the first visit of British news papern1en to Great Britain's grand fleet are published by all the morning papers. They unite in paying tribute to the preparedness and efficiency of the British navy, not only as to the IT ain fighting units but also to the less prominent but equally important auxiHaries of various types.
 A naval officer aboard one of the ships told the correspondents that in addition to the war fleet proper, there are between two thousand and three thousand ships of the merchant marine employed in transport and supply duty and as many more engaged in patrol work or in foi1ing the "decIining eff forts of enemy submarines.
 The visitors were shown the cole brated map on which are marked the places where German submarines have been destroyed sunk and various methods for meeting the submarine menace were explained to them.
 We actually saw vessels engaged in this anti-su bnarine business leaving port says one correspondent. .sIn- deed, it is not necessary to go outside the harbor to understand why the blockade has failed. Here at anchor alongside each other lay the Bane and the Antidote." One full day of the visit was spent in inspecting large new naval works at place which a short time ago was swampland but now is alive with military stations.

FRENCH SUBMARINE IS SUNK BY TURKS:
 CREW IS CAPTURED
BERNSTORFF AND LANSING
 WILL CONFER

Washington, Nov. 1-Negoiations between Germany and the United States regarding the sinking of the liner Itusitania and other questions pending between the two nations, Twill be resumed tomorrow when Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassa- dor, will call upon Secretary Lansing at the State Department. The ques- ton of indemnity for Americans lost in the sinking of the Arabic still is un- settled and probably will be taken up.
 The belief prevailed among State Department officials that Secretary Lansing would officially make known to the German ambassador the result of the examination of the steel frag- ment picked up on the Allan liner Hesperian which naval experts be- lieve was part of a torpedo.
 The German government, in a note, has denied that the Hesperian was torpedoed by a German submarine.
 State department officials were awaiting details of the seizure of the American steamer Hooking. taken to Halifax by British cruiser after be- ing intercepted on a voyage from New York to Norfolk in ballast. The Hook ing, form e1ay was the Danish steamer Greenland, which was granted Arnsri- can registry in October. She is owned by the American trans-Atlantic Steam ship Go, incorporated m Delaware and is one of the vessels purchased by Richard Wagner for that company. There was delay in granting the yes sell American registry while the ques- ton of whether German capital was used in the purchase was being inves- tigated.

British Entrenched
 For Balkan Struggle

London, Nov. 1-The British troops in the Balkans. whose movements have been kept secret since they poured into Sa1oniki, prepared to rush through Greece to the assistance of Serbia, are now in the trenches with their Balkan allies, at grips with Bull garia just across the ferontiers near Strumitsa. Though reports that the allies have taken this town apparently are unfounded, it is along this lower stretch of the front that Bulgarfans are likely to receive the first hard blows from their opponents.
 From Uskap north to the Danube, the Bulgarian offensive has made such progress that it seems to be out of the question for the Serbians to do much more than fight rear guard actions for the present
 With Pirot in their hands,.t the zBul- garians are menacing Nish more seri-s ously than the Austro-Gernaan forces based on the Save and Danube cross fngs.

This may mean that in a manner paralleling conditions of a land attack, further artillery preparation is necessary be- fore the Russians attempt to gain foothoId on the coast.
 At the Dardape1les the British are showing renewed activity. They are hanmering the Turks with artillery supported by such ships of the allied fleet as are engaged with Bulgaria. The capture of Tahure Hill. by the Bulgars sums up for@the present the known results of the sudden spurt of heavy fighting in the Champagne While the contenders on the western front have not renewed the general offensive, it is likely that there will be frequent c1asE1es over considerable stretches of the front while the Balkan fs go acute. as each side desires to pre- vent tlae other from transferfing troops t1 tA@ manT eass
