At last reports no decision had been

however, that the Bulgarians, who
crossed the river found the Serbians
had been reformed and were driven
back with heavy losses.
The Serbian counter-attacks may
have been made possible by supplies

Italians who landed on the AIbani-

through that country. The Italians,

MILITARY PREPAREDNESS
DEBATED IN THE HOUSE,
Mr.. Gardner Suggests investigation OF
William Jennings Bryan.


Washington. Dec. 17.-Speeches for
and against extensive military pre-
paredness programmes were made in
the house today by two republicans
Representatives Augustus P. Gard
ner of Massachusetts and FRANK
Mitchell, of Wyoming.
Mr.. Gardner said he had not decided
which preparedness plan he would
support. but, that as a member OF the
ways and means committee, he would
vote for an appropriation for one OF
them. He had heard, he said, that
certain democrats on the committee
would oppose bills to finance army
and navy increases.

that by taking these democrats who
are opposed to the increase and add

WHITE STAR LINE AGREES TO
PAY S664,o00 TITANIC CLAIMS S.
Must Be Acted Upon Before December
80 to Become Operative.

New York, Dec 1.-THE White Star
line has agreed to pay 1864, 900 in set
tlement of all claims arising from the
sinking OF the Titanic on April 10 1912,
when more than 1900 persons were
drowned, attorneys for the line an
nOunced here today.
OF this amount, approximately S5OO,-
600 would be distributed among Amer
lean claimants, $4,000 to British
claimants. and $4,000 would be re-
quired for interest and expenses in
connection with the numerous suits.
Forty -four attorneys, representing
that number of persons out of more
than sixty who have filed claims
against the line, have signified their
Willingness to accept the settlement
terms. according to George w. Belts,
Jr., one of the lines attorneys
The proposition grew out OF the ac-
tivities of the claimants committee,
appointed last summer, which carried
on a long investigation and fixed the
total claims at $2.500,OOO. As about
100000 would be paid directly TO
American claimants, Mr.. Belts explain
ed that each one would receive ap-
proximately 20 per cent. of his claim
Under no circumstances, he added, will
the money be distributed pro rata
among the claimants.
If all the claimants. both in this
country and Great Britain. agree TO
the proposition, the White Star line
will be released from all further La
bility growing out of the Titanic dis
aster The offer however, is not con-
| tingent upon its acceptance by all
| claimants. Mr.. Belts said that all who
accept the proposition will receive their
| proper share. If any claimants do not
accept, their cases will be carried on
| in the courts.
The agreement must be acted upon
| by Dec. 80 to become operative.

A SECOND, MORE DRASTIC
NOTE FOR AUSTRIA
Will Vigorously Renew the Demands
Made in the First Communication.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE United
States prepared late today to dispatch
q second note to Austria Hungary on
the sinking of the Italian steamship
AnCona. The communication will Wig
orously renew the demands made in
the first note; none of them, according
to an official announcement by Sec
retary Lansing. have been complied
with by the Vienna foreign Office.
President Wilson probably will ap-
prove the form the second note shall
take tomorrow in conference with
Secretary Lansing. The secretary then
will act without further suggestion
from the president, who will leave
Washington tomorrow night on his
wedding trip. Should the secretary
determine, however that the further
counsel of the president is necessary,
he will go to wherever the executive
may be. Should the situation become
still more acute the president may be
forced to shorten his honeymoon and
return to Washington.
From an authoritative TeutoniC
source came the information tonight
that the Vienna government had no
desire to cause the severance of dip
| lOmatic relations between the United
| States and AuStrO- Hungary.

London Dec. II, 10 p. m.-While the
diplomats in Greece and Rumania are
engaged in new deals which will de-
eide the next step in the Balkan op-
eratiOns, there is increasing evidence
that the Germans, ever-restive, are
preparing new strokes on both the
eastern and western fronts. or at
least a concentration of their forces
to strike when conditions are propi-
tious.
Dispatches from Petrograd note
German activity, particularly in the
Dvinsk district, which would accord
with the German ambition to reach
the line of the Dvina river, while all
accounts from neutral countries men
tion a continued movement of men

ONE OF MOST PROSPEROUS
YEARS IN TEA INDUSTRY
lnoia's Crop Has Broken All Previous
Records.

London, Dec. 1.-THE tea season
just closed has been one of the most
prosperous years in the history of the
industry. The quantity exported dur
ing the twelve months by the various
producing countries increased from
754 to 500 million pounds.
ndia's crop has broken all previous
records, contributing nearly 307 mil
lion pounds, of which England took
three fourths.
The increased use of tea in Russia
is one of the features of the years sta
tistics, her imports amounting to 121
million pounds, against 90 the previous
year. The trade reports, in fact, show
that consumption of tea has increased
everywhere, especially in countries
where until lately tea has not been
popular, while the military demand for
the staple shows that there is an in
creasing tendency to supply the forces
on active service with tea in prefer
ence to alcohol.

FELTON,, two miles south of this city.
Two of the dead were employees of the
railroad and two were negro passen-
gers who have not been identified.
Daniel Challenger, a passenger, of Phil
adelphia, was the fifth victim. All
the injured lived in Philadelphia and
Chester or in nearby towns.
The accident was due, according to
railroad officials, TO a dense fog which
made it impossible for the enginemen
to see the signals. The accommoda-
ton train was standing at FELTON, sta
ton when the other train crashed into
it. All three coaches of the accom-
mediation were crushed and the engine
hurled down an embanlment.
