GIST OF THE WAR NEWS
The Situation in Europe as Given
in London Dispatches

London-Obstinate fighting is
in progress along the eastern
front, with the Germans slowly
Withdrawing from the Niemen
toward their own frontier. At
the same time the new offensive
against Warsaw and on the Pilica
evidently has not yet developed
into the great engagement which
has been expected in that locality.
In the west the only new feature
lately has been the allies air at
tack on OStend. In the Cham
payne region the French are as
Stunning the offensive, but the
snowstorm has given a forced rest
to troops. 1t is not unwelcome,
for they have been almost con-
stantly engaged for the past fort
night.
Judging from the statement
made by the admiralty it is appar-
ent only one merchantmen, the
collier BcngrOve, has fallel- vic
tim to Germany's submarine war
fare since February 20. The en-
forced warfare has changed the
personnel of the German subma-
rine fleet, as a German dispatch
says the crew Of a German subma-
rine lost will be denied the usual
privileges.
The Turkish opinions that the
Dardanelles is impregnable are
being destroyed and the report
that King Constantine will hold
Greece to neutrality are items of
interest to-day.

grandson of Gasparilla, who came
here on the Italian ship last week,
a Spanish nobleman by the name
OF talco Padilla, who is known as
the Lord of Punta Blanco and my

KING CONSTANTINE
DEF|ES WAR PARTY

London, Nov. 13.-King Constantine
finally has thrown down the gauntlet
to the Greek war party.
Athens dispatches announce his dis.
solution of parliament. No details
are given further than an election has
been set for Dec. 10, but what led up
to his majestys action was apparent.
When NJ. Souloudis, the kings lat
est choice for neutral premier, took
office, he began negotiations with ex.
Premier Venizelos, war leader in par.
lament, with view to inducing the
pro-war group at least to tolerate the
ministry This was necessary because
the war party being in a majority
could have forced his retirement by
a vote of lack of confidence whenever
they pleased. Venizelos evidently re-
fused.
In dissolving parliament for a fresh
referendum of the peace or war ques-
ton King Constantine deliberately did
what Venizelos declared he had no
right to do, the question having been
settled in Venizelos' opinion in favor
of war by an election six months ago.

LITTLE CHANCE Of ESCAPE
Austro-Germans Going Forward in the
North and BuIgarians Doing Like
wise in the South.

London, Nov. 21.-Although no Of
fetal confirmation has been received
Of the report that the Bulgarians have
captured Monastir, in Southwestern
Serbia, little hope is felt in England
that the announcement is premature.
Accepting it as true the impression is
growing that the entente allies arriv-
ed too late to give any service to the
Serbians.
The only thing certain in regard to
the plight of Serbia is that it's mill
tary situation is going from bad to
worse. In the north the main Ser
bian armies are giving way slowly be-
fore the battering Austro- German
forces, which probably would move
more rapidly if weather conditions
were better. 1t is established that
the Bulgarians are in Prelip and at
least have made Monastir untenable.
The Anglo-French armies based on
Saloniki seem to do no better than
hold their positions.
Optimistic feeling in regard to
diplomatic situation in Greece still
persists in England. Reasons for this
optimis, however, are obscure.
The weather seems to have inter
vened again in Russia. Little activity
is reported except the retirement of
