THE RUSSIANS
ACTIVE AGAIN
ALONG FRONT
LINES OF THE AUSTRO-GER-
MANS ARE BROKEN AND
MANY OF THE FLEEING
SOLDIERS ARE DROWNED.

LONDON, Nov. 11-An acute re-
vival of the submarine issue, chiefly
in the Mediterranean, accompanied
by general offensive activities by the
Russians on the eastern fronts, makes
the war news read today like a por-
ton of history six months old
Along the southern extremity of
the Russian line to the west of Car
torysk, where desperate battles have
been under way for several weeks,
the Russians claim a considerable
success, which is said to have sue
ceeded in breaking the Austro-Ger-
man lines and to have eliminated in
a retreat during which numbers of
fleeing soldiers were drowned, in ad-
dition to leaving 1000 Aust"o- German
troops as prisoners.
In the Riga region the Russians
maintain that they are more than
holding their own. West of Riga the
Russians have consolidated the posi-
tions they have won and claim to
have taken several villages occupied
by the invaders
Less change is reported from the
Balkan front than at any time since
the new campaign began. 1t is not
definitely established that the French
are not in possession of the Servian
town of Veles, a daring cavalry raid
which apparently reached the enVi-
rons of the place, giving rise to the
erroneous report that the town had
been wrested from the Bulgars.
1t is unofficially reported that both
wings of the Bulgarian forces invad-
ing Macedonia are menaced by the
Anglo-French advance while the Ser
vians are said TO have resumed the
offensive in The region Of Rahuna
Pass, where they recently won an i'm
portant success. The Servians are
making a stand there and it is also
reported that they have established
complete communication with the
French
This report if true secures the
temporary safety of Monastir, whore
a condition approaching panic has
been prevailing. Monastir has a
large Bulgarian population, and it
was feared some of the inhabitants
might join the bands Of Bulgarian ir-
regulars which on several occasions
lately have threatened the city.
London newspapers continue to de-
vote much space to the sinking Of the
Ancona Many of them editnrially
express the opinion that the attacking
boat was a German submarine and
they arrive at the usual conclusion
that the United States is more con
ccrned in eXacting reparation than
any other nation.

BIG SAW MILLS
TO SOON START
THE LARGE TIFT MILLS AT TIF-
TON TO BE IN OPERATION
SHORTLY.

Large saw mills, which have been
closed in this section of the state for
the past year or more, are now start
ing up, and it is believed that within
few weeks every mill in this sec
ton will be running on full time.
An announcement just made which
will be of importance here, is that
the large mills owned by H. II. Tiff,
of Tifton, will resume operation short
ly. Most Of the output from these
large mills are shipped through this
port.
The Triton Gazette, in announcing
that these mills will soon resume OPP
Grafton, says:
"The Fl. II. Tiff saw mills viii start
up in about two weeks, or as soon
las the necessary repairs can be made
and a crew secured.
A force of about thirty men is
now at work cleaning up and max
ing preparationsn for the start The
millsl have been shut down for over
a year.
Wednesday steam was raised in
one of the boilers for the purpose
of making some repairs and for
changing the boilers in the switch
engines Of the Triton Terminal Com
pany. These must be changed ey-
cry three years under the require
ments Of the Insterstate Commerce
Commission While these changes

Twelve Persons Killed.

GREAT BEND, Kans., Nov. IL
Twelve persons dead, a hundred or
more injured and property loss
amounting to S500,0G0 was believed
today to be the extent of the dam
age caused by the tornado which
swept through the southern part Of
Great Bend last night
Rescuers had recovered five bodies
early today and more than fifty in
iured had been removed TO hospitals.
The bodies recovered were identified
Physicians were rushed here from
nearby towns as quickly as telephone
wires, snapped by the tornado, had
been restored. The tornado, coming
from the southwest, struck the city
with only a few seconds warning.
The first building struck was
laundry, situated on the bank of the
Arkansas river. From here the big
funnel-shaped cloud jumped TO the
water and electric Light plant, and
then to group Of mills destroying
three and wrecking the depot of the
Atchison, Topeka and Sante Pc rail
road
From there pain several blocks
wide and three-fourths Of mile long
was cut through the south residence
district. When the electric light plant
was struck the city was thrown into
darkness, which, with the binding
dOwnpour of rain that followed,
added to the confusion Fires broke
out in many places, but were soon
extnguished by the drenching rain.

out from the station only few min
u1es before the storm swept that
structure away.
Searching parties spent the night
exploring the debris of residences
and business structures for dead and
injured.

Tone is Similar.

HAMBURG, Nov. II, (yia LondCn)
Commenting on the American note
to Great Britain relative to The Frem-
denblatt is struck by the similarity
of the tone and thesis 10 communica-
tions sent to Gern&nY but the news
paper holds :he Judgment upon the
note must depend not on the phras-
eol0gy, but on how It is translated
into action. ConlinuilB tre t'rcmden-
b att says:
"The same Wilson speaks here as
he spoke in the note we received
from him. He expresses the same con
ception of inviolable rights of neu-
trails to a free Intercourse without
being hampered by the war 1t will
surprise many that Mr. Wilson, re
garding whose personal sympathies
we entertain no doubt, has maintain
ed the principle in such energetic
words against Great Britain and it
is indeed noteworthy that he does not
suppress his penchant for vigorous
phrases, but demands cessation of
the burdensome and illegal practices
and challenges the validity of the
ostensible British blockade
1--WE must also credit him with
consistency, particularly where he
upholds the old thesis of illegality Of
reprisals, declares flatly that the
United States cannot submit to meas
ures themselves illegally adopted to
punish the enemy for alleged illegali-
tiles"

TRENTON, n. ]. HAS
SERIOUS BLAZE
BIG ROPE FACTORY WITH a
HEAVY LOSS SWEPT BY A
BLAZE YESTERDAY.

TRENTON, N. j., Nov 11.-Fire
that started early today and burned
fiercely fore mere than two hours,
completely destroyed one Of the rope
shops Of the John A. Roeblings Sons
Company, causing loss estimated at
half a million dollars.
During the fire row Of frame
buildings caught fire. The occupants
were compelled to move out, many
wearing only their night clothing
The rope mill, which had a front
age Of. 100 feet ran back dis
tance Of 700 feet. The fire origi-
mated in the Elmer street end Of the
building and because Of its inflam-
mabel construction the entire place
was soon in flames. The upper floors
Of the building were of wood and
were saturated with oil from ma
chinery. Wire rope, said to be used
almost exclusively for domestic pur-
poses, was being manufactured.
There we're rumors that the fire
was of incendiary origin, dueu to the
belief that the company was engaged
in maing war material Officials
discredited this theory. Rebuilding
Is expected to be started imme-
diately.
In recent years the Roebling com
pany has sustained heavy fire losses,
the largest Of which occurred last
January, when their Buckthorn plant
was completely destroyed, with loss
of $1,500,000

GERMAN PRESS
LEADING BERLIN PAPERS Be
LlEVE THAT BUT LITTLE
WAS REALLY MEANT IN
THE DEMANDS OF U. S.

BERLIN tvia London, Nov IL
The Reinische Westphalische Zeit-
ung, commenting on President Will
sons note to Great Britain, says:
After all we have experienced
from the United States since the war
began we are no longer able to cher
ish the conviction that the note sent
to Great Britain, in which the Ameri-
can government formalities and
sharply emphasizes certain demands,
is seriously meant. A country like
America, which not only officially
has shown the British the greatest
good will, but which as an ammu-
milton department for our enemies
enables them to continue the war,
cannot possibly have any interest in
taking a decided stand against it's
ally, who undoubtedly has under
the future
Referring to President Wilson'S
discussion of the freedom OF the seas,
the paper says:
"If Mr.. Wilson really intended Sc
riously to defend this freedom
against violations by Great Britain
and other countries he could find
opportunities enough since the war
began. Instead Of that he has al
lowed unheard of violations Of that
freedom and left in the lurch neu-
trail states which looked longingly to
America for help"

YARYAN PLANT RAPIDLY
BEING PUT INTO SHAPE

If one has any tendency whatever
to doubt the announcement that the
mammoth plant of the Yaryan Naval
Stores company will reopen for OPP
Grafton on or about January first, he
has only to pay visit to the plant
and make a little investigation as to
what is going on in the woods.
Ont at the plant the machine shop
is in full operation, with a number
of machinists and others at work. and
all of the repair work necessary is
being done in these well-equipped
shops. Although work was started
only a few days ago, everything is
moving along smoothly and much has
been accomplished.
Out in the woods. while no actual
work has been started, the forces are
being organized and everything is
humming along in excellent shape. It
is expected that within a few weeks
things will be in such shape through
out the woods that work can be
started Immediately. If present plans

A NEW TRIAL IS
DENIED POLLARD
BY HIGH COURT
NEGRO CONVICTED OF MURDER
OF NEGRESS MUST PAY PEN
Atty UNLESS EXECUTIVE
CLEMENCY is GRANTED.

Ashley Pollard, colored, convicted
of murder at the last session of the
superior court and sentenced to hang,
must die on the gallows. There is
only one chance left for the negro,
and that is executive clemency.
The Georgia supreme court on
Thursday handed down a decision on
the petition for new trial, confirming
the decision of the lower court, which
means that Pollard's last chance for
new trial is gone, and the only thing
that can now save him him is the
state prison board or Governor Har-
ris.
/ The negro was convicted at the last
session Of the court charged with kill
ing Celia Harvey, a negro woman. The
evidence showed that Pollard struck
her lick with an axe which caused
her death few days later. The jury
did not recommend him to the mercy
of the court, and Judge Highsmith
sentenced the negro to die on the
gallows on September "a, but a mo-
ton for new trial was filed by the
negro's attorney, and when denied by
Judge Highsmith the case was carried
to the supreme court.
Just when Pollard will hang is not
yet known. Judge Highsmith will
probably sentence him at the session
of the superior court next month, and
it will probably be the latter part
of December or the first of January
before the execution takes place.

WARNING GIVEN
To THE LINER
SAYS A REPORT
DUE TIME TO REMOVE ALL
PASSENGERS WAS GIVEN
BY AUSTRIAN SUBMARINE.
1T Is NOW STATED.

LONDON tvia Paris), Nov. IA
Central News dispatch from Rome
says there is no news of 10 persons
who were on board the Ancona, and
that it is presumed they were killed
by the gun fire of the submarine. The
only American in the first cabin, the
dispatch says, was Mr.. Greil.
Prince Cassano was among those
saved from the Ancona, and it is pre-
sumed all first class passengers
aboard the steamer embarked on the
same boat with him, says a Naples dis
patch to the Express. 1t is believed,
therefore, that Mrs. Cecile Greil, an
American citizen, also is safe.
Among the passengers were forty
Armenians, seven of whom had been
condemned to death by the Turks,
but who had escaped.
The Italian liner Ancona sunk by
a submarinen in the Mediterranean
with the loss of American life report
ed. was not torpedoed without warn
ing, according to accounts of some
survivors.
The Austrian submarine, which had
been pursuing the liner, give a brief
time for the removal of passengers,
Malta advices through London state.
The loss of many lives OF the An
coma is declared to have becl due to
panic, caused by the sight of the sub
marine, and to the fact alleged that
the undersea boat fired repeatedly
shots both fore and aft of the liner as
boats
A news agency dispatch from Tunis,
on the other hand, declares the com
mander of the Anconan asserts that
4fhe submarine gave the liner no sig
NAL to stop. He insists the vessel was
miles, and then she stopped. Subse-
quently, he declared, shells hit the
boats into which passengers were be-
ing loaded, many passengers being
killed or wounded on deck and in the
boats.
Other accounts from Tunis declare
two submarines took part in the at
tack on the Ancona and that she made
no attempt to escape.
Fewer than $50 lives were lost in
the sinking of the Ancona, consular
advices received in Washington indi-
cate. Figures obtained by the Ameri-
can consul at Naples show that BAT
were saved out of 496 on board, leav-
ing 149 to be accounted for. Some Of
these it is believed, will be reported
saved.
