SCHOOL BOY SEEKING
 DAMAGES FROM CITY
Injured Hand While Opera ting Press at PrevocatiOnal School.

Notice of an unusual civil action against the city of New Britain was filed with City Clerk Thompson to- day by Harry Thureson, aged 12 years, of 4s Kelsey street, who seeks to recover compensation for an in- jury alleged to have been received while he was pursuing his studies at the Prevocational Grammar school. No amount of compensation is specl- fled in the notice, which was issued by Attorney Emil J. Danberg and served by Deputy Sheriff A. F. Marsh.
 In the notice it is stated that young Thureson was operating a printing press at the Prevocational school on November 3 at 11:3O a. m., having been instructor to do some printing by Harold E. Dempsey, the instructor The press on which he was working could be operated either by foot or electricity but Thureson claims he was ordered by MT. Dempsey to use electric power to accomplish the work as quickly as possible as he was on rush job.'' Thureson had never be- fore operated the press by electricity and was not familiar with this met cd. While trying to extricate some papers which were fastened in the press, his right hand was caught when another boy, William Tanquid, younger than the plaintiff, started the power The index finger on Thureson's right hand was crushed and amputation will probably be necessary. His second finger was smashed, also.
 It is alleged that the city was neg ligent Gin permitting children of the plaintiffs age to work at machinery of such a dangerous character with out being under the immediate su- pervision of the instructor and while so inexperienced in the operation of the machine by electric power and also negligent in that the plaintiff was told to hasten the work unduly while so inexperienced.''
 Thureson claims that the city was receiving compensation for the work he was doing.
 The notice has been turned over to Corporation Counsel J. W. Cooper

GREECE WILL NOT BE THEATER OF POSSIBILITIES
King Constantine Declares Allied Troops Must Not
 Tarry on Greek Soil.

Berlin, Via London, Dec. g, 4:5a
 a. m-The Vossische Zeitung in a leading article on The Associated
 Press interview with King Constan-
 tine of Greece says that the clear
 sense of the Kings declarations is ! that Greece is determined it's ter | ritory shall not, like Chinese terri | tory in the Manchurian war, be made ! regular theatre of hostilities. The paper makes the following deduc- tions, in substance from the state l ment:
 King Constantine announced to the allies that permission to cross Greek territory was granted on the supposi- tion that the fighting was to be done in Serbia. It is the fault of the en- tente allies and not of Greece that .:he allies have come too late and with insufficient forces and find no intact Serbian army to cooperate with. Greece must not suffer by reason of this. The retirement of the entente forces must occur under the same conditions as their advance, namely, not to tarry on Greek soil.
 If the entente allies promise to break off their unsuccessful under I1JklUS ana CNdCudIc OdlOulhl WlCLouI delay Greece will render to them final and valuable proof of it's good will and will assume before the cen tral powers and Bulgaria the under taking that the entente allies will carry out their promises. Greece also will insure an unhampered re- embarking for the expedition. If this guarantee is rejected Greece will use it's army to protect the re-embarka- tion.
 The Vossische Zeitung says it finds this standpoint of the King clear and justified. The paper expresses the belief, further, that the King, in view of the retreat of the Anglo-French expedition, must have adopted also a decision for the contingency that the entente troops after a retreat be- yond the frontier might attempt to take defensive position there.
 That the allied troops cannot ex- rect protection from the Greek army there is certain, says the paper. The question whether this retirement is unimportant. The allies in this con- tingency may look for intervention by the Greek army, not for but against the expeditionary troops.

SHHH ! DEEP MYSTERY
 AT P. & F. CORBIN'S
Naughty, Naughty Says Guardian Of Door to Secret Room When
 EmpIOyes Approach.

Despite emphatic denials from Charles B. Parsons, general manager of P. & F. Corbin's, it is consistently stated that that concern has re- ceived a large war order.
 Considerable mystery exists con- corning a room in the old Corbin Motor Vehicle Corporation plant, which is now in control of P. & F. Corbin's. For the past few days in- qusitive employees have been "shooed' away from the room and some of them nave been informed that they must keep away if they wish to retain their jobs. They are instructed that no one, without special permission. can enter the room but are given no information concerning what is going on in there. This fact is esta blished and stands in the face of the denials of all the factory officials in the state of Connecticut.
 Machinery, the use of which is be- ing kept dark secret, has been in- stalled in his room of mystery. some saying that it's cost is as high as $1OO,OOO. Whether it is true, as ru- mored, that F. 6. F. Corbin is to make munitions of war cannot be learned from any Of the officials, who are as loquacious and talkative as usual.
 Within the past few days the stock of the American Hardware Corpor- ation advanced several points on the strength of the war order said to have been secured by P. & F. Corbin's When informed of this fact today MT. Parsons appeared to be surprised, stating that he was not aware the stock had had a rise.

ASKS DISAVOWAL OF
 ATTACKS ON ANCONA
U. $. Sends Friendly But Vigorous Note to Austria Hungary on
 Italian Liners Case.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Ambassador Penfield at Vienna was expected to deliver today the note from the United States asking that the Austrian Hun garian government disavow the sub- marine attack upon the Italian liner Ancona, punish the submarine com mander, make reparation for the American lives lost and give assur- ance that there will be no repetition of such acts
 The note was started to Vienna bv cable Tuesday, and while there has been no report on its receipt, it is supposed that it must have reached Ambassador Penfield last night or early today.
 Until the communication is given cut for publication, officials decline to discuss it's contents. It is said, how ever, that while couched in diplo- matic language, it is vigorous in tone and carries a protest more emphatic than any of the communications sent to Germany following the Lusitania disaster.
 On account of the delays in cable communication between Washington and Vienna, it probably will be a week or more before an answer can be re- ceived.
 So far it is not known what infor- nation reached the state department just before the note was sent. The The latter part of last week Ambas- sador Penfield was instructed to ask the Vienna foreign office to hasten its reply to the inquiry addressed some time before as to the exact circum- stances under which the Ancona was shelled and torpedoed by the sub marine.

Very little is known as.to the depth
to which a ship will sink, as the
depth at which observations can BE
made is limited. Any statement On
the matter must be in the nature Of
conjecture. In the, case of wooden
ships many did not sink, but became
waterlogged and foated for years 4
short distance below the surface, con.
atituting a. serious danger to navi
cation. The more modern types OF
vessels have occasionally 1oated for
some time in this way; being aban.
doned perhaps because of a leak, but
sinking eventually. A modern liner
which sinks certainly goes to the bot.
tom in any instance where the nee.
essary observation is possible. The
greatest known depth Of the ocean IL
about five and one-half miles, and tho
average, save in the Arctic and
Antarctic oceans where the water is
ishallower, would be from two to three
miles. It ID a debatable point wheth.
er a liner sinks to the ucean bed in
that depth, but when badly damaged.
as in the case of the Titanic, 1t is prob
able that she goes a great distance
below the surface and may even reach
the bottom.
