MEN At Carney 5

Official word was received from
Washington today by the DUPONT Pow
der Company to the effect that the
government had established post
Office in the village Of Carney's Point,
n. j., and that Charles r. Redington
had been appointed postmaster for
that Office. Mr.. Redington is q resi-
dent Of near Pennsgrove and has been
IN the employ Of the powder company.
He will assume his duties as soon as
his bond is approved.
The DUPONT Company asked the gov
ernment to establish a pOstofiice at
Carney's Point. claiming that the mail
congestion at the Pennsgrove post
office seriously interferes with the
company's business. The Pennsgrove
Office has not enough clerical assist
ance. and frequently has been swamp
ed with mail.
The DUPONT Company has PROVIDED
"a building for the new postoffice, and
has heated and furnished it, and
everything is in readiness for Post
master Redington TO begin business.
Hereafter "Carney's Point, N. j."
will be an Official postoffice for mail

LONDON. Jan. lS.--Large bodies OF
Anglo-French troops are being landed
on the Greek coast to reinforce Cen
eral Sarrail and meet the Austro-
German-Bulgarian drive. which it is
believed. will not be long delayed.
The reinforcing troops presumably
are veterans of GallipOli. SalOnika
dispatches report the largest forces

Gulf of Orlani. fifty miles northeast
of Salonika TO protect the Allies right
wing. That General SarTaii expects a

he caused the railway bridge at Dem

be blown up several days ago.

of a British force at Piraeus, five

Horn, Bridge Dynamiter,
Germans Declare
ALL EXPENDITURES
DECLARED LEGAL
By The United Press.


BERLIN, Via Sayville Wireless, Jan.
ls.-Semi-oificial denial was authorized
here today of the British claim that
Captain Franz Won Papen, recalled mill
Ia attache to the United States, paid
money to persons responsible for muni-
tion factory or other plots in the
United States.
1t was denied that Won Papen ever
paid any money to Werner Horn. ac-
cused of attempting to blow up the in
ternational bridge at Nanceboro. Maine.
The semi-oflicial announcement said:
won Papen's letters and bank accounts.
which were seized in violation of the
granted diplomatic safe conducts. are Of
purely personal and of regular business
character. Won Papen never paid
money to persons connected with at
tempts or alleged attempts against mu-
milton plants, bridges or any American
property. No creek ever was paid to
Werner Horn, aC used of attempting to
blow up the Canadi n bridge. II is evi-
dent that the German military attache
did not live by borrowing, and therefore
received payments from Ambassador
bernstorit for running office expenses
but the letters and vouchers of the
eheekbook, if published in fac similc
form. would prove that they contain
nothing illegal.
These documents probably were pub.
hshed to counterbalance the bad i'm.
preston caused by the publication ol

OF Greece. and to stir up in-feelinr
against Germany at the moment wher

By The United Press.
LONDON, Jan. is. - Bulgarian
troops are being Withdrawn from Al
hania, because of dissensiOns among
The AustrO-Germans and the Bulgars,
according to a wireless despatch from
Rome today.
"Advices from Athens state that
Bulgaria and Turkey are inclined to
conclude peace with the Allies" added
the Rome message.
The Rome report was not confirmed
from any other source, and was re-
ceived with the greatest reserve here
Recent advices were that the Bulgar-
ian troops were pressing against the
Serbians west Of the Albanian town OF
El Bassan.
II Bulgarian troops have been with
drawn from Albania neutral observers
believe this is either because they are
needed for the Salonika campaign or
because Bulgaria fears their presence
in Albania may cause Italy to begin
