 AUSTRIAN CRUISER
Twelve Other Vessels Also Sent to Bottom-Italy Be- lieved to Have Sent
 Troops to Balkans

| Vienna, December 1.-The sinking of a
 French submarine boat, the Fresnel, and
 SIX steamers and six large and Several
 small Montenegrin sailing vessels in the
 lower Adriatic sea off the coast of AL bania, is related in the official communi-
 cation issued here today. All the vessels
 were loaded with war material, which 1 they either were trying to land on the Albanian coast or to convey there. | Five of the steamers and the sailing 1 ships were sent to the bottom by the Aus erian cruiser Novara and Austrian tor 1 pedo boat destroyers at San Giovanni di Medua, in the Gulf of Drin, to the north of Durazzo. They were engaged in dis charging munitions. One Italian steamer armed with three guns and an Italian
 motor vessel were sunk while on their way from Brindisi to Durazzo These were loaded with munitions.
 While the Austrians were engaged in 1 sinking these vessels at San Giovanni di
 Medua. % guns on shore bombarded them heavily, but the official report says with out success
 l Recent reports have been to the effect i that Italian forces had been landed at
 Avlona, Albania, to enter the Balkan campaign with the entente allies and i todays report of the putting ashore of | munitions and of artillery attacks from | shore against the Austrian warships seemingly gives verity to the previous accounts.
 The text of the statement follows: l Russian front There have been no I important events.
 1 Italian front: The situation is un-
 changed; no fighting of importance nav | ing taken place.
 Southeastern front: South of Plevlje we repulsed Montenegrin attacks. In the l frontier section, north of Berane our i troops are attacking the Monenegrin main l positions. Yesterday at noon we stormed the entrenchments north of Suhodof.
 ''The district east of Tpek was the i scene of yesterday of further severe i fighting, the enemy being everywhere repulsed and losing six guns Early to- clay we penetrated into Ipek and the Bulgarians occupied Djakova The Austrian cruiser Novara, with some destroyers on December sank at San Giovanni di Medua three large and
 two small steamers and five large and several small sailing vessels while they were d1schargng war ma,erlai. One steamer was blown up. Our flotilla was
 bombarded very heavily from land by about 20 guns, but without success. Our warships destroyed the French submarine Fresnel and captured the com nlander. the second officer and 26 men. | "On the night of November 23 another l flotilla sank an Italian steamer armed with three guns and an Italian motor sailing vessel, which was fully loaded and en route from Brndisi to Durazzo.
 The survivors of the steamers, including four marines, were captured. The crew of the motor sailing vessel were released in their boats"

REFERENCE TO SUFFRAGE

It was after the suffragists had been heard late in the afternoon that the committee decided to take up the claims of the various cities seeking the con vention. As the call of states pre- ceeded there was no response until Illi- nois was reached. Then the national committeeman from that state. Charles Boeschenstein, presented Gov. Edward IF. Dunno to make the opening state nent for Chicago. Clark Howell of Georgia secured the adoption of reso- Iution limiting each city to 30 minutes. MT. Boeschenstein and Roger c. Sul- livan, who held a proxy from Hawaii, did not want Chicago's financial offer to go before the committee until the other cities had been heard from. They also asked if the financial propositions could not be made in executive session. The committee. however. decided that each city in turn should present it's case in full and in open session.
 "All right then" said MT. Boeschen. stein, i've will start the ante with an offer of s100,000 guaranteed by the Association of Commerce.
 What dc you mean by ante?" asked a committeeman from the rear of the hall.

been reorganized and reinforced and is | marching south to take part in the op- erations.
 The Germans evidently intend to strike hard before the allies, who continue to land troops at Saloniki, have completed 1 their preparations It is reported that the Germans have 40,0 ,00u men available. 1 There is no indication of the Bulgarian or glo-French strength, but one re- port says that five allied divisions (nearly 10000 mem have been landed thus far. The battle, therefore, will be one of the greatest importance
 According to the French, all the Bull
 garian attacks have been repulsed, but the Germans claim that the French were compelled to give up their positions The situation for the allies is compli- cated by the attitude of the Greek gov ernment. The negotiations at Athens have not yet reached a satisfactory con- clusion, and although the Greek King has reaffirmed his neutrality and re- peated his assurances that Greek troops will never attack the allies, the situation still causes great anxiety.
 The Austrians continue their offensive against the Montenegrins and ServianS

 bania, and it is reported that Servians
 are taking with them 40,00O Austrian
 prisoners who were captured during prev-
 ous campaigns
 The position of the Servians is rendered
 even more serious by the success of the Austrian cruiser Novara and destroyers in sinking steamers which had arrived at San Giovanni di Medua with supplies and war material for them.
 In view of the probability of Germany asking Great Britain for safe conduct for her attaches, whose recall from the Uni
 ted States has been asked, considerable interest is taken in the action of the
 German submarine in removing from Greek steamer the British attache, Col onel Napier, who was on his way to
 London from Serva.

might, with the reasons before it, in struct the ambassador to send the at- taches away without further delay. In some quarters, however, it was thought another communication might come from Berlin.
 Secretary Lansing declined to comment upon the subject for publication today and the German embassy also was reticent.
 It was understood tonight that Count von Bernstorff was of the personal opin- ioH that the reply made by Secretary Lansing was satisfactory. Officials also apparently thought that 1t probably would satisfy the German government
 In addition to mentioning the naval

and military activity of the attaches, it was said authoritatively tonight that the American communication pointed out that the attaches had been from time tc time more or less associated in the public mind by inference, if by nothing more with certain persons who since had been discredted, and that finally their names had been mentioned in other un- desirable connections.
 It was considered doubtful tonight that the text of the communications which have passed between Secretary Lansing and the German ambassador would be made public in the near future, unless the present views of the situation changed materially.

JELKS' AMENDMENT

A proposal by William D. Jelks. con- mitteeman for Alabama, to amend the
 unit rule, which so long has held the votes of many states solid in conven-
 tion, aroused such heated discussion that it was quickly withdrawn.
 The problem of financing the cam- paign caused much talk in the exec
 utive session, but no comprehensive plan was devised. It was made plain to all committeeman, however, that they should solicit contributions from
 officeholders only as citizens and not
 assess them fixed amounts.
 Rollo Wells of Missouri ontinues to act as treasurer of the committee.
 Earlier in the week it was said he would resign at this meeting

NOTHING POLITICAL IN DELAY IN PAYING
 TEACHERS OF STATE
(Continued from Page One)

'It was impossible, of course, to send out the warrants until there was enough funds in sight to pay them all. You can readily see that it would have caused more serious criticism if they had been sent to a few counties while majority of the other counties haG been compelled to wait. In fact there was no authority for discrimination in favor of any coun- ty."
 Superintendent Feagin told The Age Herald correspondent that all warrants for October salaries have been paid, and that the governor has assured him that arrangements have been consum- mated by which every warrant for Mo- vember will be paid not later tan the 18th of the present month.
 "rhe state officials all realize that the present years taxes must go first of all to satisfy the constitutional re- quirements, which in effect constitute a lien" continued Superintendent Fea- gin. For that very reason che requi- sitions for county funds are being hon. ored ahead of those for the institu- tions of higher learning. The univer- sity, the Alabama Polytechnic institute, the Girls Technical institute, district agricultural schools and county high schools have not had pay since October and will not receive pay any month until the teachers of the public schools have received their money

The attack took place about $50 miles west of Alexandria and just off the western end of the Island of Crete. distant about 120 miles.
 The navy department promptly trans mitted the report to the state department, where it was said that nothing could be done until further facts were supplied. It was inferred from the dispatch the Petro- lite had been fired upon during the course of a successful attempt to escape. If her captain disregarded a demand to submit to search there probably will be no at tempt to make a diplomatic incident of the case.
 Secretary Daniels said he had not in- structed the commander of the Des Moincs to make any further investiga- tion, and it is assumed that no more will be heard from the Petrolite until she ar rives at Gibraltar.

The steamer Communipaw was recent ly held by the Italian government at Genoa, but was allowed to sail for her destination December 2, owing to repre- sentations made to the government by the American embassy at Rome.
 The Communipaw was owned by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey and sailed from New York October ? for Egypt.
