Hooking and ten other vessels owned
by the American Transatlantic Com
pany we're placed under American reg
istry solely to obtain the protection
Of the United States government In
case OF seizure. The Hooking wa,
originally Dutch ship, but was placed
under the Swedish flag early IN the
war through sale to Albert Jensen
who was later imprisoned in Sweden
for violating Swedish neutrality in
contrabend trade with Germany.
Officials Of the Department Of Com
merce believe that the American Trans
atlantic Company is American in name
only. and is, in fact, owned by Hugo
Shines, who is we'll known in ship
ping circles in Hamburg and lives at
Mulheim, Germany, not FAR from the
great Krupp works.
The British government, II Is under
stood. seized the ship under the Order
in Council of October 90. which an
nounced that the article of the Decla-
ration OF London providing that the
neutral or enemy character Of ship
should be determined by the flag she
was entitled to fly, should be suspend
cd. and that the "rules and principles
formerly observed" in the prize courts
should govern.

YANKEE CONSUL
RESCUED TWO
Turks Had Marked American
and His Wife for
Death.

That an American woman and her
husband were subjected TO atrocities
by Turkish soldlery was told yesterday
by Michael J. Malamatinis, when he
arrived on the San Guglielmo, of the
Pierce Line. He is an American citi-
zen, and until a few months ago was
the owner of an olive orchard and a
100000 estate near Smyrna, Asia Mi
nor. Their property destroyed, their
servants murdered and themselves sub
Jected to brutal indignities and sent
ence OF death, Malamantinis and his
wife escaped with their lives only by
the Intervention of United States Con-
sui Horton at Smyrna.
Malamantinis returned 70 Turkey
with his American wife several years
ago and bought an estate. About four
months ago, he said Turkish soldiers
made midnight visit 20 his home dur
ing his absence. Routing out his wife,
they demanded the key 10 the stables.
saying they needed a fresh supply OF
horses. Mrs. Malamantinis refused,
and they left, cursing her.
4 month after this incident the
Turkish Governor of the province, four
generals of the Turkish army and ff-
teen policemen descended upon tie es-
tate with the accusation that Mala-
mantinis was maintaining a rendezvous
for rebels. His pleas of innocence
and assertion of his American citi-
zenship availed nothing. Hastily cut
ting rope from the well, the Turks
bound Malamantinis, he said. and beat
and kicked him into insensibilty.
Just before he lost consciousness

Greece May DemObilize;
Rumania Veering to War
IBy Cabie 10 The Tribune. ]

Rome, Nov 2 dispatch TO THE Daily
News" London Colonel Falkenheim,
German military attache at Athens,
who went to Sofa Immediately before
Bulgaria's mobilization as the bearer
Of an autographed letter from the
Kaiser TO Car Ferdinand has unex-
pectedly returned TO Athens, accom-
panied by two members of the staff
Of the German Legation and several
German officers. They are reported 10
be intrusted with secret mission.
The arrival Of Falkenheim IS con-
sidered most significant and probably
heralds important decisions, since, If
Greece's neutrality is TO be maintained
throughout the war; as is now openly
limited, rehabilitation is bound to fol-
low. Il is only delayed to justify
Greece's demand Tor the payment of
the second instalment of the French
loan, s5,000,000, half of which has been
advanced.
In official Greek circles an attitude
more favorable to the Entente Allies
apparently has been assumed. Reuters
correspondent at Athens telegraphs
that simultaneously with the official de-
NAL Of reports Of Greece's hostility
toward the Entente Powers came a
change in tone of the ministerial press,
which is now publishing articles in
favor Of the Allies. These articles
presumably are inspired.
Notwithstanding the drift of opinion,
it is maintained that the neutrality of
Greece will be adhered to as long as
possible. The correspondent says
there are indications that any attempt
to change the policy of the government
would result in the fall of the Cabinet.
Rumania also has undergone a quick
change of sentiment, according to an
interview in the Milan "Corriere della
Sera" with NJ. Filipesca, leader of the
Rumanian Conservatives.
1.-TWO weeks of Bulgarian action in
Serbia has brought about a change in
Rumanian public opinion which sixteen
months of interventionist propaganda
failed TO do" said VI. Filipesca, as
quoted in the "Corriere." The Bull
garians' conduct has shown our peo-
pie the danger which threatens them.
Notwithstanding material difficulties
the sentiment which caused interview
zionist manifestations is an eloquent
expression Of the will of the country,
which does not want to allow itself to
be stifed by Bulgarians and Hun
garians."

ITALIANS HALTED:
LOST 100000 WEN
Vienna Says Third Great
Offensive Has Begun
to Decline.

Vienna, Nov. 9.-The third Italian
offensive, launched by 100000 troops
on October Is and renewed with fresh
forces on October %, has begun to de-
cline. the War Office announced to-day.
Repulsed along the whole front, win
the loss Of 10000 men, the invaders
attacks have weakened and the assaults
arc no longer general.
The official statement says:
The third Italian attack against
our coastal front, which began on
October IS and was renewed with
fresh troops on October 2S, begins to
fail.
The enemy advanced on Sunday
against the northern edge of the
lofty Doberdo Plateau with strong
forces, which, however, were weak
AZ several points. The attack was
in vain, and no longer general.
Though the battle may again
flame up, the attempted offensive
on the main front, with at least
twenty-five infantry divisions 900
600 mem. which the Italian COM
mond announced with brave words,
has collapsed on the unshakabie
wall of our victorious troops.
On the lsonZo front the battle of
a fortnight's duration represented
gain for our arms. Our front
throughout is unchanged Likewise
the defenders of the Tyrol and Car
inthian fronts retained firmly the
positions they have heroically held
since the beginning Of the war.
The Italians used their utmost Of
forts TO break our front in Gorilla,
reinforcing their fighting troops
with brigades from the Tyrol and
other fronts. All the attacks faile1 !,
and the Italian losses were heavier
than ever.
Through these successes our army
has proved again how idle and On
tenable are all the claims OF our
erstwhile ally 10 the southwest
frontier territory which he thought
he was able to conquer by treach-
erous attack in the rear.
In the battles of the second half
of October the enemy lost at least
10000 more men.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-11-03

Publication Of the letters, Mr.. whit
lock says, greatly embarrassed him In
Brussels with the German authorities,
although he adds that the latter now
seem satisfied with his explanation and
that there is no indication OF further
difficulty.
Referring 10 reports from London
that there was evidence OF bad faith
by the German authorities before the
execution TOOK place, the minister lays
that the legation officially received no
pledge or promise that IL would be
kept informed Of the disposition OF the
case. There were no conversations OF
a diplomatic character, he explains. the
only remarks passing between an ena-
ploye Of the legation and a subordinate
German official.
With the exception Of the plea for
mercy which Mr.. Whitloek himself az
dressed 20 the German military gov
ernor, there was no step in which the
German authorities showed any dis
courtesy.
Officials here look on the incident ~
closed. They do not believe Mr.. Whit

been placed IN an uncomfortable posi-
