ing for the Vessel.

New London, Gonna persistent
report that the German submarine
Merchantmen Bremen, a sister ship

this week, gained credence Sunday
by the arrival in this city Of Paul
G.. l.. Hilken, manager of the German
Ocean Transportation company, that
was organized to operate the under

Mr.. Hilken was accompanied by
G. Prusse, who was credited with
having constructed the Deutschland,
the first German submarine freighter
to reach the United States. Mr.
Prusse was passenger on the
Deutschland when that vassel arrived
in Baltimore.
Preparations Made.
Although neither Mr.. Hilker nor
Mr.. Prusse would state definitely
whether the Bremen is on her way
here, elaborate preparations have
been made which indicate that the
undersea liner probably is about due.
The North German-Lloyd steamer
Willehad, which was brought around
from Boston a few weeks ago, has
been moored near the U. S. S. Dol

For the last three years there was
collected as royalties of individual
Indians from oil produced on restrict
ed allotted lands the total sum of
$5,563,OOO, the highest returns being
for the year 1914, which was $2,113,-
900.

members of the five civilized tribes,
amounting to over 100000 acres,
restrictions on alienation have been

rolled members of the five civilized
tribes.

WINTER CONSID-

 Serb Army Reformed.

J tn east and west expressed the be- lief that the winter weather is likely to prove the most severe obstacl3 tc war operations on the pr ncipal fronts during the next few weeks. The most dreaded period of winter is from the end of December to the end of Janu ary was General Frenchs reply a year ago to the demand for a great offensive. The same remark would probably apply equally this year.
 Reuters correspondent at Westeri. headquarters after remarking that the British staff is confident that the allies are now So strong in men and munit }ons that they can break thro the German lines whenever the right time coGnes, declares the wea- ther is the chief reason for postpon- ing the big movement.
 Despite the weather the duel in the Vosges mountains in the western zone continues and eventually may prove to be one of the big operations of tho war The gain in either rection thus far has been small, but the French claim progress in establishing them selves on the crest of the foothills which here dominate the plain.
 By all accounts, Saloniki is now safe. Certainly, the central powers show no haste to attack the allied position. Seventy-fve thousand Serbs have reformed at Scutar and Albinia. and the Montenegrin army which here before has been debarred geo. graphically from taking any large part in the war is now throwing it. self energetically ir1 h tte co:?toHt against the Austrians.
 Reports that the Austrians are at tqcking Scutari are denied. No off cial announcement is yet ava lable as to the decision of the cabinet in favor of compulsicn. but the rolitic2l at mosphere has been cleared by the ad- mission that the principle of compul- sicn is accepted hy tho majority of the cabinet Public pnion has nct yet crystalized, but there is feeling that the public is quite ready to be con- vinced.
 The difficulties in the cabinet may be expected to diminish as the ques- tion shapes itself in practical, for joint meeting of the representa- ives of the labor party and the trade unions have been summoned.
