German Army is Advancing to
Attack the Allied Forces
in Greece.
BULGARs MAY JOIN THEM
Allied Troops in Their Scare Are
Hurriedly Digging Them
selves into Trenches.
tsY As.eelArrp rsrss,


LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The unprece-
dented military situation in Greece
has developed new crisis. The al
lied troops, which. according to the
estimate Of British newspapers num-
Der 100000, are terrifying them
selves about Saloniki, digging trench
es and placing guns. 1t is reported
the Germans are preparing to adj
vance into Greek territory to attack
them.
Whether the Bulgarians also will
cross the border is vital question
TO the Greeks. 1t Is believed Bull
garian advance would rekindle old
enmfties and might draw the Greek
people into the conflict.
The Greek general election will be
held tomorrow, but 1t Is not expected
the result will have any controlling
influence on the policy of the govern
ment. The party of former Premier
Venizelos has refrained from putting
candidates into the field and the SOL
diers under arms constituting a large
proportion or the electorate will not
vote. King Constantine remains In
disposed. .
According to the Athens corre-
spondent OF the Times the German
minister at Athens told Premier
Skouloudis that the Germans would
be compelled to attack the British
and French forces. The landing Of
Italian forces IN Albania is likely TO
prove an important factor as the Ital-
fans may be able to attach themselves
to the remainder of the Serbian army
for concerted action.

NEW CRISIS DEVELOPS
IN GREECE IN THE WAR
GLASS PRICES
TO TAKE Jump
As a Result of the High Cost
of Production is the
Prediction.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 1S-The
Glassworker says: The prediction is
made that window glass prices are to
take n jump ere long.
Just when the advance will be de-
clared is unannounced, but some Of
the men closest in touch with the
situation say they would not be sur
prised IL the present list is boosted
In about q month from now.
Window glass conditions seem to
justify such n move II they ever did
SO. From the moment the fire
opened last month all the hand and
machine plants Of the country have
been rushing along at top speed try
ing to produce enough glass to fill
the immense accumulation OF orders,
with only moderate success. Stocks
In this country were never SO low as
at the present moment, and while in
some quarters slight lessening of
business is reported. from others
comes word that the stream of or
ders for glass is still flowing in.
The approach Of the iventory sea-
son Is given as the cause for whatever
little falling off has taken place dur
ing the last week.
Jobbers. with their customary
timidtty. discount most Of the bulllsh
tendency, and seem averse to even
consider increasing their prices to
their customers. They claim that
present prices cannot prevail very
much longer. 1t is whispered on
good authority that manufacturers
knowing how the jobbers feel in this
propose now to move entirely indie
pendently OF them, and get more
money for their glass.
The claim. and it is good one, is
made that the cost of production has
greatly advanced since the beginning
of the war, the added expense in
Guiding labor and many materials
necessary to glass manufacture. II
the jobbers choose to pay more for
their glass and sell at present rates,
they will be at perfect liberty, Of
course. to do SO.

ROBERT MCCORMICK WEEDS MRS. AMY ADAMS
IN LONDON AS SOCIETY EXPECTED

ETY. with wink when the news came
yesterday that Rob't Mccormick,
owner of the Trib, and Mrs. Annie
Adams, both of this city, had mar
Tied in London.
When Mccormick started ION his
way to Russia as a war cOrrespon-
dent" and when Mrs. Adams arrived
in England last Saturday, friends
knew what was up. The pair were
Joined in the registry office of st.
Georges, Hanover square.
The wedding came just within the
requirements of the Illinois law,
which prohibits marriage within
year after divorce. Mrs. Adams was
divorced on March 6, 1914.
The marriage seems to be key
to all of the troubles between Edward
S. Adams, former husband of the
bride and cousin of Mccormick, and
the TEib owner.
Adams, who is a broker, according
to a bill filed, kept Mccormick as
guest in his Lake Forest home for
about ten years, during which time
Mccormick didn't pay a cent of
board"
For reasons which were not known
until later, Adams and Mccormick
split and the owner of the Trib
changed his residence abruptly.
Soon after, Mrs. Adams filed suit
for divorce which, according to
Adams was uncontested because Of
an agreement with her. Mrs. Adams
received her decree on March of
last year.
The cousins again started scrap
ping and the swell society bunch at
Lake Forest were surprised when
Adams filed a suit for 100000
against Mccormick, cahrging aliena-
ton of the affections of his wife.
Mccormick came back at his bro
ker-cousin by bankruptcy proceed

According to the senator this law
