Embassy Is Tracing
Mail Pouch Contents

Washington. Nov. 13.-Oficials OF the
German Embassy began an inquiry to-
day to learn whether important official
dispatches are missing from the packet
from which Karl Armsgaard Graves is
said to have obtained three letters. All
available information on the case has
been sent to Berlin, including the de-
tails of the alleged plot to blackmail
Countess Won Bernstorf.
The government is seeking to iden-
tify the messenger from whom Graves
obtained the letters. The packet, ii
was learned to-day, was officially
sealed by the German Foreign Office.
ii is presumed that the letters were
started for the United States between
September 10 and 10.
1t was made clear to-day that rince

through whom Graves attempted to get
the $4,000, may testify against him, but
would prefer not to. If his testimony
is deemed essential to the prosecution
of Graves permission for him to appear
in court will be asked OF Emperor
william.
Prince hatfield conferred to-day
with Counsellor Polk at the State De
partment regarding the principles in
volved in the giving Of testimony by
foreign diplomatic representative in
legal proceedings in the United States.
II had not been determined tonight
whether the princes testimony would

AMERICAN MUST QUIT

Youngest Ambulance Driver in
France to Return

From lodging Germans bombs to
examining Latin verbs is a dull change,
but that is the price Julian Allen has
TO pay for being the youngest driver IN
the American Ambulance Corps in
France. He is coming home soon, his
mother, Mrs. Frederick H. Allen. of
Pelham Manor. said yesterday, and the
chief reason is he must prepare for
the entrance examination to Harvard
in June.
Young Allen was fifteen years and
two months old in the summer Of 1918,
when he followed the example Of his
elder brother Frederick and joined the
American Ambulance. According 70
his mothers proud story. he told the
authorities that he was seventeen years
old. and when they found him out it
took all the influence Of his wealthy
and influential family to secure his po-
stion in the service. That was fifteen
months ago, and Latin and algebra
have a way Of getting hazy amid the
smoke Of battle, so the boys parents
have told him TO come home and cram.
In a letter recently received by his
parents he wrote that he was learning
to eat and sleep anywhere, and that he
was "crazy about the work"

SERBS DRIVE FOE
BACK 7 MILES
Capture Village, 1000 Men
and Is Guns; Falkenhayn
Nearing Campulung

London. Nov. l3.-Fighting Of tho
, fercest nature is proceeding on all the
Balkan fronts. In Macedonia and the
Dobrudja the battle is developing in
favor OF the Entente troops, but on the
Transylvanian frontier Falkenhayn's
forward sweep is becoming more threat
ening hourly.
The Serbs and French yesterday made
one Of the most brilliant advances OF
, the Monastir campaign. They captured
the village Of Iven, in the Cerna loop
region. and drove Bulgar-
army two miles north of that village.
Capture Sixteen Guns
The French artillery rsked the Bull
gar lines with she'll while the Serbian
, infantry attacked them with the bayo-
net Further TO the west the Allied
forces also forged ahead TO the north
/ of Velyeselo.
The Germanic Allies lost more than
1000 prisoners and 16 guns in these
operations. Sofa admits that the Serbs
succeeded in making a salient before
our positions northeast of Polog." The
| battle for the possession of Monastir
has turned definitely in favor of the
Entente.
All accounts agree that Mackensen is
( being pressed back in the Dobrudla.
Bucharest reports the advance of the
Russo Rumanian forces on the lett
flank, along the Black Sea coast. Unofi-
cial advices from Rome state that
Mackensen is continuing his retreat
