STATES SOLDIER IS.
REMOVED FROM VESSEL FLYING
U. S. FLAG BY BRITISH OFFICER

New York. Jan. 14.-Albert Clark, a
private in the United States Infantry,
was removed from the; steamship San
ia Marta at Jamaica by a British neu-
trality officer. according to passengers
who arrived here on the Santa Marta
today. After being detained ashore for
several hours, Clark was allowed to
return to the ship and proceed here.
Clark. who had served 10 months in
the Canal Zone, was proceeding to
Washington under orders to report to
the adjutant general and was in full
uniform when he was temporarily re-
moved from the Santa Marta, which
flies the American flag.
This is said to be the first time that
q United States soldier has been re-
moved under similar conditions from
an American vessel since the war Of
1912.
When the Santa Marta stopped at
Jamaica en- route from Colon to New
York, British neutrality officer
boarded the vessel and. as usual, close
ly questioned all passengers as to their
nationality. Clark told the officer that
he had been born near Vienna, but
had taken out his first American cit
izenship papers sometime ago
The neutrality officer left the ship
without comment on Clark's case but
shortly afterward. passengers said.

No Saloniki Attack
II Is authoritatively announced to-
day that the reported offensive Of the
Ieutonic allies against Saloniki did
not occur. The rumors that the attack
had been begun against the forces Of
the allies apparently originated in the
activity Of the French in blowing up
the bridges connecting Saloniki with
the road over which the attackers
would normally travel. Bridges were
destroyed by the French not only at
Demir Hissar, on the Struma in the
neighborhood of Series. but also at
kilindir south of Dorian. All the
bridges destroyed were in Greek terri
tory
ltaly's Lack Of Action
The rumors that Austria and Mon
tenegro have suspended hostilities for
the purpose of discussing arrange
ments whereby further warfare on
Montenegro soil should be stopped,
may be based simply on the fact that
the Austrian advance in Montenegro
has become so slow that suspicion OF
a suspension of hostilities is naturally
aroused. Many military critics. how
ever, are of the opinion that Monte
negro is now in such a position that
some form Of arrangement with her
adversary has become imperative.
Speculation is rife as to the atti-
tude which Italy has adopted with re-
gard to the invasion of Montenegro bv
the Austrians which constitutes
grave menace to Italian interests.
Big Fleet Held Back
The fact that Italy's superior nee.
did not prevent an Austrian squadron
from assisting in the reduction OF
Mount Lovcen, which dominates the
harbor of Cattaro, is being commented
upon. though experts admit that there
is not a sufficient basis Of information
from which to draw deduction in the
matter and they suggest that ltaly's
a elton in the present junction should
be awaited, before Judgment is passed.
and that action. they point out. would
naturally he kept secret as long as
possible.

NO STEPS TAKEN
BY THE HOLY SEE
ON INVITATIONS

Rome, Jan. 13.-"The Holy See did moth
ing up to today, either directly or indi-
rectfy, to solicit from either group of
belligerents an invitation to participate
in or preside at a peace conference"
says the Catholic organ Corriere D'Italia
in an article evidently inspired by the
Vatican.
Both groups Of belligerents. the paper
adds, thus far intend to be completely
victorious. debating conditions of. peace
outside of any extraneous interference
The aim of the Pope is to employ all
possible means to render the confiagra-
ton less painful to humanity. If the
Pope were present at a peace congress
his adhesion to the treaty would bind
the conscience of all Catholic subjects
of the contracting nations, making It
more difficult for any government to
break the agreement.
The Pope, it asserts. does not count
upon the European conflict for the solu-
ton of the Roman question. which, as
Cardinal Gasparri said. will not be SET
tied by force of arms.
