CAPTAIN AND CREW
MAY RE IN IIFFB0 ATS

New York, Jan. 5.-The captain
and ninety men of the crew of the
Greek steamer Thessalonil1i are be-
lieved today to be adrift in lifeboats
at sea, more than 800 miles southeast
of Sandy Hook, having abandoned the
steamer last night. A fragmentary
wireless message indicated that the
Thessaloniki probably was sinking
when the crew took to the boats.
There is a slight chance that the

Czernowitz is undoubtedly a val
liable vantage point for a further
Russian campaign. Teutonic forces
are already deprived of the use of the
important railway from Czernowitz
to Zalestchitlxy, while the line from
Czernowitz to Kolomea is seriously
nenaced.
Czernowitz has had a checkered
career since the beginning of the war,
having already changed hands four
times. The Russians claim great
bag of prisoners, including many Ger
mans.
In Albania there has been much ap-
parent activity with relatively small
military results. Perhaps the most
important event in Albania is the
declaration of war by Essad Pasha
against Austria and Germany This
irregular chieftain is erratic but an
undisputed military genius with a
large and loyal following and he is
reported to be we'll supplied with
guns and munitions.
England has continued her colonial
warfare with success in the Kamerun,
where it officially is reported that the
German base has been occupied by
British forces. French troops also
are known to be converging upon
Jaunde from the east and southeast
SO that the fleeing Germans may be
surrounded.

A Compulsory Military
Bill is introduced

on the same grounds as in the case
Of men. attested under the Derby
plan. The grounds of exemption in
clude conscientious objection to per-
forming military service.
GROUNDS FOR EXEMPTION.
Other grounds for exemption from
service, the premier said, included
health, physical infirmity, the neces-
sity to support dependent persons and
the fact of being engaged on work
of national importance.
The bill, Mr.. Asquith continued,
was limited specifically to redemption
of the promise he had made publicly
to married men. This pledge had
been given at time when over
whelming evidence had been sub
mitted to him that married men who
were willing and anxious to serve
were holding back in large numbers.
They needed to be treasured that hav-
ing regard for their circumstances
and the business they were carrying
on, they could count upon their term
of service being postponed until the
younger and single men had been
called up. If assurance had not been
given at that time there would have
been danger that the whole recruiting
campaign would break down.
Where, then, should we be now 3"
he asked.
The premier added that if he were
to be confronted with the same situa-
ton at the present time he would take
precisely the same course. He said
he had received no protest against
his pledge.
BILL is NECESSITY.
Although he had been strong sup
porter of the system of voluntary
service, Mr.. Asquith declared he was
convinced of the necessity of the COM
pulsion bill which he believed would
meet with general approval when its
provisions were understood.
The Earl of Derby's report on his
recruiting campaign explains why the
cabinet found it necessary to bring
forward a measure for compulsory
enlistment. There are $4,000 I'M
married men who failed to come for
ward and the government viii now
attempt to redeem Premier Asquith's
pledge that the married men should
not be called out as long as any con-
siderable fraction of unmarried men
held back. In his report, the Earl of
Derby says:
DIFFICULTIES MET.
MANY diculties have been met
with, but the chief difficulty has been
the unreliability of starring, as dis
tinguishing between those who should
and those who should not be taken for
the army. Instead of starring being
an assistance, it has been distinct
hindrance TO the canvass.
More especially is this so in the
rural and semi-rural areas owing to
the fact that m was known before

TWOBIC BARNS BURNED
Charles Bass of Monroe Towdship
Sustains Heavy Loss.

Fire Of unknown origin destroyed
tho two big barns on the Charles Bass
farm nine miles northeast of Oska-
lOosa in Monroe township, Tuesday
evening at nine O'Clock. The fire was
discovered by neighbor who went to
the home and notified Mr.. and Mrs.
Bass of the fire. Mr.. and Mrs. Bass
retired early, and when they went
to bed everything was in its usual
good shape, and everything quiet.
They were entirely unconscious of
their danger until they were awaken
ed by the neighbor.
A large crowd gathered in a short
time, and they did everything in their
power to eXtinguish the flames which
were enveloping the one barn. Fail
ing in this, they gave their entire at
tention to trying to save the other
barn, but their efforts were fruitless,
the wind carrying sparks large enough
to ignite the building.
The barns were exceptionally large
ones and both mows were filled to
their capacity with hay The horses
were frantic, but by united efforts
they were taken from the burning
building safely. All harness and
grain in the two barns was burned,
and other farm equipments stored
there went up in the flames. The
big wind mill, the scales, and the
straw stack all went in almost less
time than it takes to tell it, and
thousands of dollars worth of proper.
ty was destroyed. Some insurance ia
carried upon the property but not
enough to cover the loss. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bass are unable to give the
slightest clue to the origin OF the fire.
The fire was quite spectacular, the
hay making the best of fuel for the
leaping flames.

only six miles. We are Informed
that while murderous raids by
Mexican bandits have been sur

are constantly being made to
steal horses and cattle. We are

detachment of Carranza's s

"halt," and the object moved
