SERBS A6REE TO
ALLIED OCCUPATION
OF MACEDONIA
A. P. A. Service.
PARIS, Auk. 20.—A dispatch from
Herne states that semi-official inform
ation has been received that Serbia
has finally accepted the conditions of
the allies and will consent to the oc
cupation of Macedonia by the armed
forces of the allied nations in exchange
for territory on the Dalmatian coast
and the islands adjacent thereto and
also portions of Albania north of the
Grecian frontier.
The remainder of the Albanian ter
ritory will remain Italian as that na
tion has already secured a firm hold
on the northern and central sections.
I Following the accomplishment of the
i purposes for which ihe entente is es
tablished the allies will transfer the
I Macedonia territory to Bulgaria. it
is said that the plan only awaits the
| adhesion of Italy to bring the Bul
garians into the war.
This plan if effected will result in
the complete isolation of Greece and
decidedly lessens her effectiveness as a
factor In the war in the event of the
nation deciding to throw its strength
on the side of the eutonie allies as is
believed to he the inclination of the
ruler.
BULGARIAN ENTRY IS NOT
IMPOSSIBLE SAYS PILIEFF
A. P. A. Serv)b«.
WASHINGTON, Auk. 20.—According
to the surmises of a number of the
members of the official world, there
is every prospect that the reports of
an early Bulgarian entry into the war
are entirely true and arrangements to
that end are being rapidly perfected.
A significant indication of the actual
state of affairs is disclosed in the an
swer returned to a question asked M
Pilieff, the first secretary of the Bui
gartan legation, by a newspaper man
today concerning the truth of the re
port that the Bulgurs would enter the
conflict, "It is not impossible" said
Bilieff.
Further investigation of the attitude
of legation members discloses that
there is no inclination to discredit the
reports, in any degree, and it is now
generally believed that the coming
week will witness the joining of that
nation with the allies.

SURVIVORS DECLARE
ARABIC UNWARNED
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON. Aug. 20.*-All but eight of
the Arable passengers have been land
ed at Queenstown. The American sur
vivors from the Arabic unanimously
declare that the White Star liner was
torpedoed absolutely without warning
and no sign of the stacking vessel w
seen until fatal bolt had shattered the
steamers' side. As In the case of the
Lusitania, the sinking of the Arabic
has given rise to the greatest indigna
tion and the London palters are today
reprinting the warning of President
Wilson, contained in the American
note of July 21 emphasizing the final
paragraph which strongly warned Ger
many against submarines sinking pas
senger vessels without warning.
The names of the four American
passengers landed at Queenstown have
not been definitely ascertained as yet
but it is expected (hat tile admiralty
will publish the complete list as soon as
the names can be definitely learned.
The American consul at Queenstown.
General Frost, has investigated the ac
counts of the passengers and crew rel
ative to the fttilure of the submarine to
warn the big liner and has satisfied
himself that the Germans have again
violated every customary code as in
the case of the Eusitanin and has so
reported to the TTnited States govern
ment.

ARABIC AFFAIR SHOCKS
WILSON AND LANSING
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, A up. 20.—'The news
of the Arabic affair came as a distinct
shock to the administration officials
when it became known at the capital
that the vessel was unwarned at the
time of the sinking and that there were
Americans aboard the ill-fated vessel.
The disaster is of exactly similar nature
to the l-iusltunla sinking and the failure
of the Germans to give warning cannot
fail, according to the opinions of sev
eral prominent officials, to further com
plicate the differences at present exist
ing between the United States and
Germany.
So far the government has taken no
official connizance of the fatality but
tho matter will undoubtedly be thor
oughly investigated.
A singular story in connection with
the disaster is told by friends of Kcn
neath Douglas, the Knglisli actor, who
state that Douglas was aboard the
I White Star liner anil is thus a sur
vivor of the Lusitania, the Transyl
vania and the Arabic attacks.

tal to the ancient seat at Moscow
