PRISONERS BUT ITAU1ANS WILE TAKE GORIZIA
f
100,000 SERBIANS TAKEN j
BERLIN, Nov. 27—The number of Serbians taken
prisoners by the Teutons is now one hundred and one
thousand. Large numbers are being captured constantly
and Serbia will soon be more completely conquered than
Belgium. The Serbian king and government are still
keeping out of the way and will probably soon have to
take refuge in Montenegro or cross to Italy by way of
Albania.
SMASHING GORIZIA
LONDON, Nov. 27.—The Austrian city of Gorizia is
now suffering from the same destructive treatment as
the Belgian cities. The Italian artillery is literally smash
ing the town to pieces and the damage up to the present
is estimated at six million dollars American. That it can
not hold out much longer is generally believed.
KITCHENER FAILS
BERLIN, Nov. 27.—The Frankfurter Zeitung de
clares that Kitchener's mission to Greece has failed and
that Greece will soon receive an ultimatum from the
Allies and be forced to join the Teutonic alliance. It
also says that the people of Greece themselves expect that
ultimatum and are looking forward to the approaching
time when their army will be alighted with the Bulgarians
in spite of the public sentiment of a few months ago. It
is now perfectly well known that Kitchener went to
Athens and offered through the king large territorial con
cessions in return for Grecian aid, but in vain.
ALLIED HORDES FOR BALKANS
PARIS, Nov. 27.—A mighty allied offensive is about
to begin in the Balkans if the news coming here can be be
lieved. Great British forces are being landed at Saloniki
and are being sent against the Bulgarians as fast as pos
sible. No Italian forces have yet landed there or in
Albania and the tight will probably be left to the French
and British but the Allies are perfectly confident of hold
ing the invaders. The Serbians claim that they are hold
ing the Bulgarians on the Monastir line and that no Bul
gar advance is possible for some time. The hope of the
allied war departments is that the French and British
will be able to force their way through the Bulgarians be
fore the remnants of the Serbian army are destroyed.
RUSSIANS GET READY
LONDON, No. Tt.—From the highest official quart
ers comes the announcement that the Russians are now
preparing for the greatest campaign of the war. This
campaign will be started this winter and be carried on in
spite of all climatic conditions. The Russian lines have
l>een strengthened twofold with fresh troops. Vast sup
plies of munitions have been secured and some new great
guns are being brought up to the front. It is estimated
that three million Russian troops are about ready now to
take up the fighting and Russia’s resources have hardly
been tapped.
FORI) TALKS TO GIBBONS
BALTIMORE. Nov. 27.—Henry Ford, the originator
of the peace mission plan, visited Cardinal Gibbons today
and the cardinal declared Ford's plan to be a most worthy
one but he expressed doubt as to its possibilities. “I fear
the peace mission will strike many rocks”, said the
cardinal.
ENGLAND LAUGHING AT FORD
LONDON, Nov. 27.—Ford's peace plans are being
laughed at here when they are not being condemned. The
newspapers are almost unanimous in declaring them to
be nothing but an advertising scheme. Amongst the many
expressions of opinion are some which say Ford wants an
Atlantic joyride, that it is a silly idea only possible to an
American with too much money, that Ford is a crank and
a funny man. If the newspapers express official opinion
the Ford peace plan has died already.
CROWLEY DENIES GUILT
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 27.—Crowley, who was ar
rested on the charge of being connected with the German
bomb plots, denies guilt and declares that he was working
for the German consulate and was watching the agent
of the Allied governments who, he says, are extremely
busy in the United States just at present His work has
had no connection with the bomb plots, he declares.
I
Women in Revolt
Against Pankhurst
C7
Suffragettes Rise in Rebellion and
Raise Cain with Leaders.
LONDON, Nov. 27.—Many of Mis.
Pankhurst's followers have risen in |
open revolt against her leadership anil!
the suffragettes of England art* J
threatened with disruption. The chief !
cause of the revolt is that Mrs. Pank- ■
hurst is accused of usurping the i
authority of an autorcrat and of hav-1
ing expelled several influentiol lead-1
ors in the organization so that she |
might strengthen her own dictator-!
ship. The most sensational fact con- j
nected wtih the revolt is that the j
rebels are demanding an accounting j
of the funds and there is more than j
an insinuation of fraud against the j
famous woman leader. The nialcon-,
l tents are also demanding that Chris- {
tobel Pankhurst return to London or
make an explanation of her absence.
She has been away for some time but
no one knows where she has hidden j
herself. The papers are paying more
attention to the female revolution to
day than to the war anil some rather
remarkable disclosures are predicted
by them.
PLIES FROM TORONTO
WITHOUT LEAST TROUBLE
NEW YORK, Nov. 27. — Victor j
Carlstrom landed in New York in his j
aeroplane last night from Toronto as j
though he had just taken a spin on a |
bicycle. He flew the four hundred j
miles, ho says, without the least in-.
cident occurring that would be worthy !
of note and he declares that he felt |
the same confidence in making the ;
flight as if he had been in an automo
bile.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—A returned |

TRAITOR COMMITS SUICIDE
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 27.—Full of remorse for having
confessed and given Miss Cavell away a French soldier
committed suicide in prison in Brussels yesterday. The
soldier was a prisoner at the time Miss Cavell was arrest
ed on the charge of aiding French and British prisoners
to escape and on being questioned he confessed that she
had tried to secure his liberty so that he might fight again
for the allied cause. His confession was the chief evi
dence on which the woman was shot. Since her execution
ne has suffered intensely and his remorse culminated in
his hanging himself in prison.

SERVIA’S DESTINIES IN
THE HANDS OF PUTNIK,
COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
1 General pUTNIK}
[•‘Field Marshal Radomir Putnlk, com
mander In chief of the Servian army,
which Is resisting the Teuton and Bul
garian advance, is one of the command
ing figures of tho war,’* says a corre
spondent. "Just threo years ago I saw
him leading to victory against the Turks
that fine army of which he was the
creator. He was a dapper figure, the
pride and encouragement of the Servian
soldiers, but age—he is sixty-eight—has
worked a difference since those days of
triumph. The soldier sees him no more.
Suffering from acute asthma, he is forced
to keep to a heatod room, but Illness
haa not enchained the marvelous mind
nor time lessened the tremendous men
tal energy of this master soldier. He
works at headquarters with a personal
staff of only five officers, and In tho
rush and pressure of work there Is little
time for sleep. Marshal Putnlk seldom,
if ever, refers to a map. He has a gift
unique among military men. Before his
mind’s eye he can see all Sorvla spread
out before him like a gigantic relief map,
and he knows that map down to the
minutest topographical details. 'J

OBJECT TO PETTICOATS IN
C. S. PRESS GALLERIES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—The wo
man’s rights question is causing dis
sension in the ranks of the Washing
ton newspaper correspondents’ corps.
The demand of women newspaper
writers for the privileges of the press
galleries of Congress is the subject of
hot debate. The women have threat
ened to appeal to Vive-President
Marshall and Speaker Clark.
While the petticoat line has not
been drawn against woman writers,
only one woman heretofore has en
joyed the privileges of the galleries.
Because of the necessity of “cover
ing” the appearances of Mrs. Norman
Galt and the President, women society
reporters, feature and magazine, as
well as “legitimate” newspaper cor
respondents, have demanded that
they be given seats in the reserved
press sections.
A compromise in sight today, ad
vanced by the standing committee of
correspondents governing admission
to press seats, is that a section of
seats in the Senate and House public
galleries be set off for the women
writers. This will leave the work
; ing rooms still available practically
for men only.
Firemen will meet tomorrow at 1
o’clock.

Wales arrived yesterday from Prance
where he has been attached to the
headquarters of Marshal Prcnch. The

of his shooting by the French corporal
and the matter has quieted down. He
and his father, the king, have fully
recovered from their injuries.
Fifteen Below
At Anchorage!

But They Had a Rattling C.ood Time 1
at Thanksgiving Just the
Same.
__
ANCHORAGE, Nov. 27. — The
thermometer registered fifteen below
zero here last night but this morning
is bright and sunshiny and pleasant
in spite of the cold. The dance at
Thanksgiving was a most successful
affair and about four hundred people
enjoyed it. The failure of the boat*
to land their cargoes will cause no
hardship as the town has already been
provided with what is believed to be
enough for the winter. There has
not been the slightest uneasiness here
about Prod Tracy and his five cam
panions as no one ever believed there
was the slightest danger until the
word came from Seward that their de
lay in being heard from was being
used as something worth speaking
about. A dog team left this morn
ing to get them and bring them home.

the authorities had no hesitation in
arresting him in spite of his promin
ence.

SEATTLE, Nov 27. - Leo ard
01 oson, who gained quite a lot of
notoriety some time ago by having
been deprived of his citizenship pap
ers, cut his throat in a restaurant in
this city last night and died almost
immediately. He was deprived ot
his citizenship because of his activi
ties in connection with a socialist
movement and the fact led to an in
vestigation of Judge Hanford who
took the papers away. It is stated
that since that time Oleson seemed to
have suffered because of having fallen
from the limelight into obscurity and
gradually fell away mentally. His
suicide was committed under circum
stances of a horrible kind.
