Philadelphia and passed Tarifa,
Spain, October 10.
The White Star liner Adfiatic ar
rived In Liverpool on November IL

a report became current on the mari
time exchange that it was the Adria-
tic of the White Star line that was
in trouble The other steamship Ad-
Ratio, bound for Philadelphia from
Kymassi should be about in mid-At-
1antic today.
Officials Of the White Star line said
they had no information regarding
the Adriatic, other than that she had
arrived safely last Thursday in Liver
pool. They did not credit the re-
port David Lindsey, assistant to the
passenger manager of the White Star
line, said that he was positive that
the Adriatic was still at Liverpool.
@The Adriatic was heavily laden
when she left New York." said Mr..
Lindsey, "and it would take at least
three days to unload her and as many
more to load the steamship for her
return voyage to this port. She was
not scheduled to sail for New York
until November "a"

charges against him.
Announcement Of this action was
made today by Secretary Tumulty

proved of discharging Burlxitt for

Rome, Nov. 15.--An italian Off

In the Ledro Valley from the slopes
of Nozzolo from Monies, Pari, CHM
andaro and Rocchetta enemy artillery
opened an intense fire against our
positions, also throwing infiammable
shells on Bezzecco, and Pieve di Lee
dro without, however, damaging our
solid defenses.
ION the Tyrol- Trentino front and in
Carnia, there were no important de-
velopments.
"On the Izonso front, our action
continued yesterday. We progressed
on Javoreck, in the Plezzo basin land
heights northwest of Gorilla.
"On the Carso plateau, we have
taken strong entertainments called
Dele Frasche to the southwest of San
MARITIME.
"Our aeroplanes on the 18th, not
outstanding bad weather made sue
cessful raids over the Carso. They
bombarded the railroad stations at
Reifenberg, San Daniele, Syope, and
Dottoglino and long lines Of trains
standing at the stations. Two enemy
machines Of the AIbatross type and
one of the Aviatik type, with were
met on the way, were put to flight by

Milan. Italy, Nov. 15.-An account
of the recent fighting before Babuna
Pass, in Southern Serbia, is forward
ed by war correspondent Of the Cor
riere della Sierra. The Bulgarians, he
says, were 10000 strong, the Serbians
5000.
No resistance being possible for the
Serbians on open ground they fell
back from Veles and Isvor and set
up defense where the road narrows
near Abdi Pasa, at an elevation of
1000 feet. The 10000 Bulgarians
were grouped between Veles and Ba-
huna pass, supported by powerful
artillery. The Serbs were hard
pressed and for q time it seemed as
though they must give way, which
would have meant the loss not only of
the army but of Monastir. The situa-
ton was changed by the tactics
adopted by the Serbian commander,
Col. Vassic. He permitted the Bull
garians to advance as far as the
Perlepe road and then fell upon them
with all his forces, smashing through
their first and second lines with the
bayonet and driving the Bulgarians
beyond Kotziak.
On the following days the Bull
garians attempted to recapture the
lost positions, but thu Serbians
though poorly supplied with food and
munitinns were 4 able to hold than
hack. =

know that the convictions of four
fifths of the Democrats are opposed
to it, many Of them--I fear q large

Representative Kitchin declares
that the program Eat one bound in

the Roberts Barbaree trial began this

character witnesses introduced by the

TO Jim's movements Tuesday night
and Wednesday. He says he sent him
to watch the home Of Brady Roberts
Tuesday night and saw him the first
time Wednesday morning on the
porch Of the old office; saw him at
intervals during Wednesday, but saw
nothing unusual in his conduct
Mr.. Roberts explained that the
$3.50 paid the little Adams girl was
paid under the direction OF his at
torney, that it was part Of her fees
for attendance and that the shoes
and dress furnished her had been
charged to her father, Will Adams.
He also testified that the parents of

or them about Il.
Detective Robertson was called

ing on the case for about two months

Mr.. Roberts and did not attempt to
make Nellie swear any particular
way. He was brought from the Jail

PENDANTS during the day Tuesday.

another defendant, began by his step
ping with his bare feet in lamp
black and then on white paper with
both feet and the paper was sub

under instruction of counsel, he wrote
a note to Elder Mitchell and on Cross
examination he wrote some names
and words and both papers were sub
mitted in evidence. He denied all
knowledge of the crime and of the
writing OF the notes to Mitchell IN
the Pensacola Jail and also the con-
fessions alleged to have been made to
White and to Smith. He did admit
having conversations with these men
and also having the conversation In

PARALELLED
A TROC|TY BY
A SUBMARINE
Italy In Communication So
Glasses Sinking of the
Steamer Ancona.
BY AssoCTATED PRrgs

Washington, Nov. 15.-The United
States today received from Italy a
communication addressed to all neu-
trail governments, denouncing as an
unparalleled atrocity" the sinking of
the Italian liner Ancona with scores
of neutrals and other non-combatants
aboard.
The statement recites the circum-
stances of the attack, charging that
without even blank shot of warn
ing" the submarine shelled the An
coma and continued killing and
wounding passengers after the An
coma had stopped. No reference Is
made to the submarines nationality.
The Austrian admiralty statement
made public through the press de-
clared the Ancona attempted to es-
cape and only stopped after repeated
Smelling, and that after she stopped
forty-five minutes were given for the
passengers and crew to enter life
boats. This statement also denied the
submarine fired on the lifeboats.
Officials are disinclined TO comment
on account of conflicting reports, but
it is expected Austria Will be asked
officially for her side and it is gen.
orally believed the United States will
take up with Austria the entire sub
marine question.
CABLE FROM PAGE.
Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page
at Rome, cables that his conferences
at the Italian foreign Office have failed
to develop the details or facts con-
corning the sinking of the italian
liner Ancona.
The Italian government, according
to Mr.. Page, is having considerable
difficulty establishing just what oc-
Cured. An investigation is under
way, however, and as soon as it's re-
suits are known, Mr. Page will re-
port.
Secretary Lansing has been waiting
to learn whether it was a German or
Austrian submarine which DESTROYED
the Ancona and therefore has not
instructed either Ambassador Gerard
or Ambassador Penfield to call at the
Berlin and Vienna foreign Offices re-

big married folks dance of the season,
though the young folks will also be

ticipated may have all the dancing 1t
cares for. Printed programs Of prob
ably 40 dances will be given the dane
ers, and about one third of them
will be old time dances, while those
who are enjoying the modern dances
are resting. those who prefer the old

hearts content.
II is planned to have Smuin's big
band supply the music for the young
er set, and the old time favoritei
Kirkham Orchestra, play Money Musf
and kindred tunes for the Virginia
Reels, French Fours. Plain Quadrills
etc. Some kind of refreshments VIII
be served, probably coffee and dough
