TROOPS LAND IN FRANCE,
Announcement That Russian Troops
Had Reached Marseilles Thrills
All London.

London.-Nothing has thrilled Lon
don since the beginning of the war
like the, announcement that Russian
troops were landing at Marseilles. 1t
was the realization at last of hopes
that have 30 frequently been disap-
pointed, which official confirmation
no longer made It possible to doubt.
That the landing is but the begin
ming Of events Of great Importance is
Of course the obvious conclusion. No
word has yet been received Of the
number Of troops that have thus far
been transferred to the western front,
or their purpose.
1t Is assumed, however. that the
move is part of the general plan Of
operations agreed upon at the wal
council Of the allies in Paris.

UNITED STATES INVITED.

Asked to Attend Commercial Confer.
ence Of Entente Powers.
Rome.-Formsr Premier Luigi Luz
zatti issued q communication urging
that the United States be invited to
participate in the coming commercial
conference in Paris of delegates Of the
entente allies.
Prof. Luzzatti's idea Is to make the
action Of the Paris conference effect
i've by securing the cooperation OF
friendly neutral powers. He pointed
out that agricultural staples consti-
tute %nine-tenths of the worlds carry
ing trade and argues that a permanent
traffic federation is of the greatest
Importance as a measure tending to
check the rising cost Of living.

Cost More Because Of Great War.

New lork,-rhe price of Bibles has
increased and probably will advance
sttll further because of the war. Buy.
ers have been obliged to pay nearly
double the prices of last year, This
is due mainly to the advance in the
cost Of paper, ink, leather and glue.
The American Bible Society announces
that the stock Of Bibles in European
languages, imported from Germany
prior to the beginning of the war, is
now approaching exhaustion and the
society does not know when it can be
replaced.

Washington.-No decision as to the

The administrations final action on

report. Gen. Scott, who left Washing

Washington. - While the United
States waits for Germany to reply to
the note demanding the immediate
abandonment of present methods of
conducting submarine warfare, one Of
the chief sources of concern here is
the possibility Of another attack on a
peaceful ship carrying Americans be-
fore the Berlin government has deter
mined upon It's course.
In such an event it is admitted that
IN immediate rupture could be pre-
vented only by proof that Germany
had been unable to communicate with
her submarine commanders.
In explaining the demand OF the
United States, officials said that while
abandonment Of the present illegal
methods at once was essential to con
%tinuance Of diplomatic relations, the
United States might agree to German
submarines operating under the strict
restrictions of cruiser warfare.
1t was emphatically reiterated, how
ever, that a discussion of that phase
would not be entered into until the
present campaign was brought to a
stop. The United States stands firm
In its determination not to tolerate the
unlawful and inhuman sinking of an.
other ship.
