 0F LESE MAJES1E
Resistant Declared Wilson Should Have Waited Longer Before
 Marrying and Is Fired.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 15.- The little town of Winnetka. Illinois, is stirred to it's depths through Post master Klopfer having discharged his assistant. George Burkitt, for saying that President Wilson should have waited another year after the death of his first wife before remarrying.

WHITE STAR LINER
 BELIEVED VICTIM
Press Dispatches from Rome State
 TOrpedOed in Mediterranean.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Advices from Rome received at noon today state that the steamer Adriatic has been torpedoed and sunk in the Med iterranean sea by an Austrian sub- marine. The cabled message failed to state if the vessel was the White Star liner Adriatic or the small coast wise Italian vessel of the same name.
 The White Star Liner Adriatic sailed from the New York some time ago with hundreds of Italian reserv- ists on board but the local agent of the steamship company state that they have received advices of her safe arrival at Naples. It is feared that the Adriatic was being used as a transport to convey troops across the Adriatic sea to the coast of Albania when she was torpedoed and that the loss of life will be heavy.
 Since the announcement of the loss of the vessel the local office of the White Star line has been besieged with Italians whose relatives left for the old country on the Adriatic, but the officials have no information to give as only press dispatches of the sinking of the steamer have been re- ceiyed.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 15.- Baron Zweindinek, of the Austrian embassy, called on Secretary Lan- sing of the state department, Satur- day afternoon and denied the charges which had been made against the German and Austrian officials in the United States as published in the statement of Dr. Goricar in the Prov idence Journal.
 The Austrian diplomat told Secre- tary Lansing that Dr. Goricar had of fered to discontinue denouncing Teutons if the Austrian embassy would undertake to provide him with $50 per month. When he was denied the money, which he regarded as a pension, he turned traitor evidently thinking that the Teutonic nations were doomed to defeat in the Euro pean war.
 Dr. Goricar, the Austrian diplomat asserts, has been almost destitute since returning to the United States from Rome and the Austrian embas- sy believed that the Allies had reject ed his services.

ANCONA'S SINKING
 VIEWED GRAvELY
High Officials Believe that Ancona's Passengers Should Have Been
 Given Time to Leave Ship.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 15.- The sinking of the Italian steamer Ancona by a submarine in the Medi- terranean sea, causing the loss of more than twenty American lives, is viewed gravely by the officials and it is believed that serious international complications will result from the at tack on the liner
 Press reports indicate that the cap tain of the Ancona was given plenty of warning to get his passengers into the life boat but that as the first shots fired by the submarine had killed number of passengers caus- ing the crew to become panic stricken and fight to enter the first boats launched.
 High officials hold that when the commander of the submarine warned the captain of the Ancona that the ship was to be attacked that sufficient time should have been given to place the non-combatants in places of safe ty before the steamer was torpedoed. Many phases of the sinking of the Ancona have been discussed infor- mally by the officials and it is under stood that should it develop that the submarines was manned by Germans it is probable that Germany will get another note from President Wilson.
