B|G STE AMSH| LINE CHANGES
 OWNERS

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 15-The sale of the Mihanovitch Steamship Line this week to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company and Dosero Broth CTS, a local shipping firm, is by far the most important of the many sales of Argentine Shipping which have have been recorded since the war com menced The price paid for 75 per cent. of the preferred and common stock was equivalent to $7,005 300 in United States gold. The new hold ing company will have a base of oper- ations about $50 ships and several shipyards.
 The Mihanovitch Line was the own CT of the steamship Presidente Mitre, the capture of which nearly embroiled Argentine and Great Britain in inter- national difficulties two years ago, the problem being solved by the re- turn of the vessel to Buenos Aires by its English capturers.
 The founding of the Mihanovitch Line was one of the most dramatic stories of the many men who came to Argentine poor and made a fortune. Fifty-three years ago, Nicholas Mihan- ovich, poor Austrian sailor. landed in Buenos Aires penniless. After his way to Paraguay and working there awhile, he returned to Puenos Aires homesick to await chance of working his way home
 For some time, he rowed a small boat out to incoming vessels and ferried the passengers ashore. Lat. CT, he ran a tug or two and from this beginning he built up the largest nav igation company in the Argentine.

AMERICAN FEEL } SERVICE IN
 ALBANIA
(By Associated Press)

SOMEWHERE IN ALBANIA, Oct. 15-Twenty-six Californians who form one of the ambulance sections of the American Field Service, are the lat est arrivals in Albania. All of them have been in the service in France and experienced the intensive war fare that goes on there. and who find the work here much harder though just as interesting.
 The shocking condition of the roads is as largely responsible as any other factor for making the work more diff ficult. The country is mountainous and breakdowns are the regular or der of the day. As frequently as not wheels come off or break and the am balances have to be left on mountain Toadsides until assistance can reach them.
 Many of the posts" are perched on hillsides, often in plain sight of the Austrians, and their trenches are ire quently in view. By the same token the Austrians can see the ambulances as they climb up and down. But wGrfare in this section is considered 'gentlemanly", so that the Ameri- cans are never fired upon, but the transport of munitions up the hills is so difficult that it is never wasted on moving objects and is saved for definite stationary objects.
 Air raids are frequent and excit- ing but the natives seem to get the worst of them. That is principally because the Austrians seem to choose just the time for raiding that the French are over the Austrian Terri tory, and none of the aviators ever seems to get hurt.
 The Americans had great difficulty at the beginning with the food, water and climate but are used to them all now. In between their duties they find time to study the native popula- tion which in general is ragged and poverty stricken. Many of them un- derstand English, since they have been in the United States as contract la borers.
 Much of the country has been bad .ly devastated by this and proceeding wars, many villages have been razed and deserted, while scarcely a one but shows evidence of the struggles, Prices are sky high and going high CT all the time. Bread which used to sell for thirty centimes per loaf be- fore the Balkan Wars, is two francs per loaf now, and has been five francs a loaf during the past winter. The population would ha~e starved in fact ii it had not been lor the French army, because the people had sold it's food supply to the Austro- German forces.

GERMANY LOSING |TS MILITARY
 STRENGTH
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - For the first time since the beginning of the war Germany's military strength is showing signs of decrease, according to an expert review based on data from the French general staff and made public here by the French high commission.
 Worn down and driven back by the ceaseless pounding of the allies, the Germans have made a supreme mili- tary effort only by drawing heavily on their 1919 reserves.
 Various estimates of Germany's waning strength have been made and statements have been issued from un- official sources to the effect that a weakness had been noted, but this is the first authentic and dependable as. sent given such reports.
 At the same time, the allies have only just reached, and are prepared to maintain their full strength, while awaiting the coming of the great army from America. The enemy's resources are diminishing at the very time when the situation requires that they be in creased. This situation foreshadows what the nature of operations will be in 1918, when France, England and America unite their three-fold strength of attacks of unprecedented propor- tions.

He referred to the dismissal of the Supreme Court and other judges as a work of purification, and said it would be continued until all those who had taken a hand in politics were re. moved. He cited a number of in. stances in which the harsh treat. ment of the Venizelists last Decem. Der resulted from rulings by the courts.
