FATE OF BALKAN ARMY !
WORRIES BRITAIN
A. P. A. 8*rvic*.
LONDON, Dec. 16.—All Kngland Is
greatly worried over the possibility of
complete disaster overtaking the allied
army operating In the Balkans since
the announcement that the Germans
are penetrating Greek territory in an
endeavor to cut tlie expeditionary force
from its base at Salonika has been
made public.
Reports from all sources indicate
that the arm) Is In a most precarious
position and In great danger of being
trapped in the interior unless an ade
quate body of reinforcements can
reach them in time to assist in throw
ing off the German attacks It is
understood that the entente powers are
rushing troops to the scene as fast as
possible but owing to the absence ol
I adequate transportation facilities It Is
feared that a sufficient force cannot
be thrown into the Held to hold the
German columns advancing through
the Vardar pass.
The possible effect of the German |
idvanoe on the Greek government Is
also viewed with considerable appre
hension owing to the known pro-Gi-r
mun Inclinations of the ruler. The al
lies ut'e bringing every possible pres
sure to hear ont he Athens government
hut it Is never the less feared that
the influence of the king may prove;
the stronger factor, In which event
the loss of the entire allied force It
probably Inevitable.

PRESS OF NATION
ENOORSES DEFENSE
program!
A. *. A. Icrvie*.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—The press of
the nation is almost unanimous in
endorsing the military program of tlie
administration as outlined in the sev
eral departmental plans submitted to
congress since the opening of the ses
sion. Associated Press reports from
every section of the country says that
the general tone of the press every
where is indicative of a general accord
with the views of the president and
that the complete program has the un
qualified endorsement of the nation is
I
considered beyond question.
Although there is a prospect that
some opposlton will develop against
certain features, It is generally Indi
cated that there will be but little decid
ed opposition from congress. A canvas
of the representatives of both houses
fails to reveal any trace of a decided
intent to block or hinder the passage
of the program as outlined by the war
and navy departments.

AUSTRIAN NOTE COUCHED
IN DEFIANT TERMS
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Cable ex
tracts from the Austrian note of re
ply to the American communication
relative to the sinking of the Ancona
transmitted to the state department
last night by Ambassador Penfleld in
dIrate that the Austrian reply will la
decidedly unsatisfactory to this gov
ernment. It Is. however, determined
that there will be no prolonged ex
change of opinions after the receipt of
the full note, which Is now in the hands
of Penfleld, such as marked the dif
lerenees with Germany over the sub
marine war.
The tenor ol tin extracts cabled by
the American -eiu esentatlv e at the
Vienna court Indicate that the note Is
severely erilieal ol the stand taken hv
i
the I'nited States.
It is also suggested that the Aus-j
Irian government declines to offer any
evidence in support of the action of I
i he submarine commander attacking
the Ancona. At the same time the
note apparently contends that the ac
tion of the commander was Justified.
1‘enfleld asserts that the Austrian ad
miralty in openly defiant, declaring thai
Its officers was fulls Justified in what
ssms done. The full text of the reply
is expected to reach the state depart
ment today and Is being awaited with
desorbing Interest. The state depart
ment announced this morning that the
reply will he made public a.- n as
it has been thoroughly studied

trip over the waters of Lake Washing- ,
ton. The pair seemed In good spirits!
when entering the boat and the boat- i
man suspected nothing as they drew
away from the boat. A few minutes
later the sharp erack of a revolver
sounded over the water, followed a
moment later by a second report which
drew tie attention ol' persona on shore
Several Pouts tit once pulled out for
the spot, tlndlng the girl dead and the

GREEK CAPITAL WORRIEU
OVER GERMAN INVASION
A. P. A. Service.
ATHENS. Deo. IS.—The German
invasion is causing considerable dis
quietude throughout the nation and the
prospect of Greece being turned into
a battle ground for the warring pow
ers Is apparently little relished. Judg
ing from the tone of popular expres
sion, neither side In the great struggle
is now enjoying any particular degree
of public favor and sentiment is gen
erally hostile to both the Germans and
allies.
The blockade of the Greek ports lias,
i
done much to Injure the ailed cause!
while the German threats have not ini !
proved the Greek regard for the oen-;
tral powers. So far the government'
has given no indication as to its ln-j
tentlons now that tho fighting lias been i
transferred to Greek soil but It is gen -!
erally accepted that the assurances
given to the alios will he faithfully
kept.

TURKS & GERMANS
PREPARE FOR
EGYPTIAN INVASION
A. P. A. Service.
ROME. Dec. 16. Tile prospect tor a
Turko-German throw against Egypt la
daily becoming more grave and it la
now almost certain that the plan of the
kaiser to Invade that country which
was thought to have been abandoned,
will in all probability be curiled
out according to the announcements.
Reports from the Turkish territory
state that the construction of a rail
way from Damascus to the Egyptian
frontier is being pushed w ith incred
ible rapidity and large bodies of
troops are being massed In the vicin
ity of Damascus as If In readiness to
proceed to the Red sea districts as
lonn as transportation shall he open

ol war munitions are daily leaving
.Constantinople for Damascus. From
all appearances the British are bo
oming slightly uneasy at the show of
ictlvlty nd many troops are being
aided to the forces already occupying
