ITALY TO ASSIST IN BALKAN
Rome Government Has Also Pledged
Themselves Not TO Conclude Sep
arate Peace Treaty.

London.-1taly has announced her
adhesion to the treaty Of London,
whereby the allies undertake not to
conclude separate peace, and also
has declared her intention of sending
help to the Servians.
This news, it is believed here, will
go far to clear the situation, especially
in Greece, where negotiations are still
proceeding on the quadruple enten-
te's request that Greece allow the al
lies free use of her railways and the
right to police Greek waters against
submarines.
Latest advices indicate that the ne
gotiations are likely to end In COM
plete satisfaction to the entente pow
ers. The assurance that Italy, as well
as Great Britain, France and Russia,
is to give military support to the Ser
VANS in their efforts to regain their
lost territory makes the case for Greek
assistance stronger.
Otherwise the situation in the Bal
kans remains unchanged. The Bulga-
rians have cut communications be-
tween Monastir and the Greek from.
tier. and the Servians still there must,
like the army Of the north, retreat into
Albania when the pressure becomes
too strong.

New York.-The Scandinavian-Amer.

The party, designated by Mr.. Ford

STERN ACTION URGED TO FORCE
THE HAND OF KING CON-
STANTiNE.
RoUMANIA ALSO WAITING
Allied Countries, However, Believe
Latter Country 10 With Them.
Vigorous Offensive Being Con-
Quoted Against Montenegro.

London.-The negotiations between
Greece and the allied powers at Ath-
ems still drag, new bitches seemingly
arising as the old ones are smoothed
out. The people Of the allied coun-
tries, particularly those of France and
Italy. are becoming impatient over the
continual delays, and the press is de-
manding that stern action be taken to
demonstrate to King Constantine and
his ministers the determination OF
the quadruple entente to secure the
assurances demanded. New proposals
are said to have been made by France
and Great Britain in the hope Of reach
ing an agreement.
The attitude of Roumania also re-
mains undecided. Since the dispatch
announcing the closing of Roumanian
ports to foreign trade was received,
silence has descended on Bucharest
and every one is awaiting anxiously
the next move, which will give mean
ing to this order. The general belief
here is that the Roumanian govern
ment is waiting for the concentration
of sufficient Russian force in Bes-
sarabia and large enough Anglo
French army in Southern Servia to
make victory certain before joining the
allies.
Meanwhile the Austro-GermansN and
Bulgarians continue rounding up the
few Servian troops remaining in Ser
via, and also are prosecuting with their
utmost energy the campaign against
Montenegro.
Unusual calm prevails on the vari-
GUS battle fronts, even the Italians ap-
parently slackeningy their offensive,
propably in preparation for the next
phase, which they hope will place Cor.
liza in their hands, with other COM
handing positions on which the Aus
TRANS hold has weakened during the
last weeks of heavy fighting.
The check suffered by Gen. Town
shend in Mesopotamia is severe dis
appointment to the British public,
which had looked upon this expeui-
ton as the brightest spot thus far in
the war, with the possible exception OF
Gen. Botha's conquest OF German
Southwest Africa. Nothing has been
heard from Gen. Townshend since he
reached Kut-el-Amara. where 1t is like
ly he will make q stand.
The position Is very strong one,
where he could hold out until re-en-
forcements reached him. 1t is not
only the military failure, but the eff
feet the retirement will have on the
British possessions in the east which
makes the result SO unfortunate from
the British point Of view.

ASK RECALL OF GERMANS
United States Declares Won Papen

Washington. Immediate withdraw
al OF Capt. Boy-Ed and Capt. Franz
Won Papen, respectively naval and

nouncement of this action Secretary
Lansing said the attaches had rem

naval and military matters.
The secretary acted with the full
approval of President Wilson, who is

The State Department made It's re-

No reply had been received. but
none is necessary, and it is taken for
granted that the ambassador will or
der the attaches away as soon as he
has exchanged communications with
Berlin.
Official Washington is now specu-
lating upon the effect the action might
have on public opinion in Germany.
The complaints against Won Papen
and Boy-Ed were accumulative, dating
back to the early days Of the Euro
pean war. The case against them is
peculiar, not being capable OF legal
proof. 1t consists of an accumulation
of suspicious, of circumstances and
conditions which connected the at
taches with attempts to violate the
neutrality laws of the United States.
The accumulation was sufficient to
convince the department that the Of
fetal status Of the attaches in the
United States should be discontinued

KAIsER's VISIT A MYSTERY
Emperor Williams Trip To Vienna 10
Cause Of Much SpecuIation-Serb
Campaign Ends.

London.-Emperor Williams visit
to Vienna, which conceded with the
resignation of three of the Austrian
cabinet ministers, Is the cause of much
speculation. The two events are vari-
ously assumed to be connected with
the reported effort of Germany to
force Austria into German zollverein,
desire of Emperor Francis Joseph to
secure a separate peace through the
Intervention OF Pope Benedict and ru-
mored dispute between Austria and
Bulgaria over the division Of Servian
territory.
~ There naturally is no authoritative
basis for any of these reports beyond
statements in the German newspapers
that Emperor Williams visit was one
of the highest Importance.
Meantime the operations in the Bal
kans and the movements of the armies
of the central powers continue with
undated energy. Like Germany, Bull
garia announces that with the capture
of Prisrend her campaign against Ser
via has come to an end.
Austria, with the assistance of Ger

able opposition from the Montenegrins,
who are masters in mountain warfare

portions Of the Servian armies which
