RUSSIANS VIOLATE NEUTRALITY
BERLIN, Nov. 19.—Information has arrived from
Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, that several thousands of
Russia officers and soldiers have reached Servia and are
now engaged in the effort to halt the Austrian advance in
to Servian territory. The importance of this news lies m
the fact that to reach Servia it would be necessary for the
Russians to pass through Roumania or Bulgaria and so
violate the neutrality of the country through which they
marched. The German government is now making an in
vestigation into the matter and if it proves that either
Roumania or Bulgaria permitted the Russians to pass
through their territory they will have to give a strict ac
counting or prepare for attack. The news from Russian
Poland has quieted the anxiety of the German people \\ho
had never been able to believe that the retreat of Hinden
burg meant anything but defeat. The government officials
always maintained that the famous general had fallen
back to tempt the enemy into positions where his attack
would lie more effective. The fact that this attack has been
successfully delivered by the very army that had retired
from Warsaw now proves to the people here that the gen
ius of Hindeburg has once more guided him safely. It is
assumed here now that he drew the Russians on chiefly
for the purpose of taking them further from their bases
and making their retreat all the more difficult.
NO IMPORTANT NEWS FROM WEST
LONDON, Nov. 19.—No important change has occur
red in the western arena for several days. The Germans
are holding their positions and are occasionally launching
attacks on the allies. The allied warships are still off the
coast hurling shells inland whenever the opportunity of
fers to reach the enemy. The Belgian army remains light
ing valiantly in the flooded region and stands up to the
enemy with all the splendid courage that has made the
name* of Belgium famous and revered. The German sub
marines have apparently given up the idea of attacking
the allied warships operating along the Belgian coast as
the precautions taken against such attacks are very
elaborate owing to the sad lesson taught the British naval
commanders in the past.
N. Y. EXCHANGE OPENS
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—Unrestricted trading on the
floor of the stock exchange will begin next Saturday in
bonds of all classes at minimum prices. This is the most
| important step yet taken towards the resumption of un
restricted trading on exchange. The panicy feeling is
gradually dying away and the financial condition of the
country has been much relieved by the opening of the fed
eral reserve center banks.
GERMANY.GETS
OIL SUPPLIES
SAID THAT TEUTONS HAVE SHIP
LOADS GOING FROM
AMERICA.
. —
LONDON, Nov 17.—Failure of Ger
many to exhaust its supply of petrol
is attributed by writers in the London
press to a supply of oil supposed to
be shipped from the United States to
Germany by way of Norway, Denmark
and Sweden. According to Albert
Lidgitt, who contributes an article on
this subject to the current issue of a:
prominent motor journal, Germany
has planned te get its petrol in ships
dying the Danish, Swedish and Nor
wegian flags ami carrying oil in bar
rels.
H. Massac Buist, writing in the
Sunday Observer, says: There is
proof positive that up to the end of
last month Germany had received
some thousand of tons of motor spir
its in this manner, and according to
the present chartering arrangements
that other large consignments are
either being loaded or are on the At
lantic at this moment on the way to
Denmark, Norway or Sweden. He
says that up to the corresponding
period last year there had been ship
ped from America to Denmark 16,275 |
gallons of motor spirits, but owing to |
the mysterious activity in cargoes of
late the motor spirit shipment to
Copenhagen alone has been nearly 12,
000,000 gallons this year, of which
half a million left during the last week
in October.
PARIS, Nov. 19.—The American
Embassy is winding up its affairs as

ciety and consoler of Americans

vices of a dozen young American
army officers who were taken courses
in French military tactics at the out
break of the war. The War and State
Departments in Washington attached
the officers temporarily to the Em

the voluntary help from Americans
who happened to be in Paris, and at
one time the Embassy staff numbered
forty-two.

ganization of the American Protest
ant Episcopal Church and none of the.
State Department money has been
used for that purpose.
