BLOCKADE GREECE
LONDON. Nov. 22.—A report from Athens is to the
effect that the allied nations have declared a commercial
and economic blockade of Greece but this is not officially
continued. It is feared that it' the report proves true it
may mean forcing Greece into the war unless the Greek
government is party to the arrangement through sym
pathy for the allied cause.
REACH CONSTANTINOPLE
BERLIN, Nov. 22.—The news that the Germans
have reached Constantinople has been received here with
wild scenes of enthusiasm. The city donned gala attire
and is again Hying thousands of Hags as it does after all
victories. It is said to be the plan of the general staff
immediately to proceed on a triumphal journey over the
Orient railroad from Berlin to the Turkish capital and
that it will be accompanied by many noted officers to take
charge of the Turkish armies.
BRITISH SEARCH l'. S. SHIP
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.—The searching of the
American ship Zealamlia by a British warship within the
three mile limit of the Mexican coast has been confirmed
and lias caused a big sensation. A strong protest has
been sent to London by the state department ami some
anxiety is felt lest the British will insist on the practise
of interfering with American shipping.
FIGHTING IN WEST
BERLIN, Nov. 22.—The only fighting reported on
the western front today is activity of the French artillery
between the Meuse and the Moselle, also in ( hampagne

been repulsed.
WOUNDED TRAPPED
PARIS. Nov. 22.—Ninety wounded soldiers were en
trapped by a fire in a military hospital here yesterday
but by the most heroic exertions on the part of soldiers
and civilians all were saved. The building was razed to
the ground.
REFUSE FORD ADS
LONDON. Nov. 22.—Many of the newspapers here
announce that they have refused to take advertisements
from the Ford automobile company because Ford refused
to take part in the American loan to the allied nations.
The papers seem to forget that the Canadian Ford com
pany gave a million dollars to the Canadian domestic loan.
NOVIBAZAAR TAKEN
BERLIN, Nov. 22.—The Serbian town of Novibazar
twenty-five miles from the Montenegrin frontier, has been
taken by the Teutons and four thousand Serbian soldiers

BRITISH SEIZE U. S. SHIP
NEW YORK. Nov. 22.—The American ship Genessee,
bound from Norfold to Montevideo, has been seized by a
British cruiser and the state department has sent a
strongly worded protest to the British government. The
vessel is said to have contained nothing that could possibly
have reached the enemies of the Allies and the act of seiz
ing the vessel cannot be explained.
TRIED TO KILL MINISTER
BUDAPEST, Nov. 22.—An unconfirmed report has
arrived that a Serbian major has attempted to assassinate
the Serbian prime minister because of blunders made in
the plan for defending the country from the Teutonic and
Bulgarian invasions. The major fired twice at the pre
mier but missed. He was disarmed and has been excused
for the act as he was moved by patriotism.

STILL SHELLING GORITZA
VIENNA, Nov. 22.—The defenses of Goritza are
still under a heavy fire and the Italians are bringing
heavy reinforcements of fresh troops. Several Italian
onslaughts have been made against our fortifications but i
all of them collapsed under our fire and we have counter
ed by driving the Italians out of the Oslavia sector. The
fighting in that quarter is still very bitter but our com
anders are confident that our positions are too strongly
fortified against attack.
LATE CABLES! j
GREECE WILL FIGHT
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—A state-,'
meat has come from a source very j
close to the Greek legation that j
Greece has decided to enter the war |
on the side of the Entente if France |
agrees to reinforce the Greek army i
with half a million men or if j
Roumania can be prevailed upon to [
invade Bulgaria simultaneously with
the Greek army. From the same
source comes the expression of opin
ion that Greece will be forced to de
cide within a few days and light on
one side or the other.
BRITISH WIN VICTORY
LONDON, Nov. 22.—The Austral
ian and New Zealand troops, after a
terrific bombardment and a vigorous
attack, have gained a big success on

t rift is predicted.

AIRMAN RESCTES ANOTHER '
LONDON, Nov. 22.—One of the
most daring feats of the war was '
recorded from the Dardanelles today.

Dardanelles railroad station and one
was shot down by the Turks. The
other airman swooped suddenly to
the ground, grabbed his wounded
companion and flew back with him

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.—William
J. Guthrie, the well known mining
man anti promoter, has committed

suicide his family would secure sixty
i
thousand dollars that they could not
<
otherwise get.

(
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.— ,

found dead in his room here this t

Army.

soldiers stationed at Fort Lawton

from the army twelve years ago.

of. Nothing new had dev- loped in
the legal proceedings going on in
connection with the arrest of Krause

Extraordinary Story Told in Case
Against German Steam
ship Men.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—The most
extraordinary evidence ever produced
in a court came up this afternoon
during the trial of the officials of the
Hamburg American line on the
charge of violating the neutrality
laws of the United States by supply
ing German raiding cruisers witfi
provisions and munitions. The bit of
evidence was a leather ease which
had been found in the belly of a shark
and which contained a ship’s mani
fest. The case and its contents were
accepted as an exhibit. The story of
the case and manifest is that it was
thrown overboard by the captain of
a German raider and that it was later;
found in the shark and was delivered j
to the United States authorities at j
Washington. It is stated that the
manifest shows that the raiding
cruiser from which it had been thrown
overboard had received munitions
and supplies through the Hamburg*
American officials.

REPORT SERBIAN DISASTER
BERLIN, Nov. 22.—The report has arrived from
Austrian military headquarters in Serbia that eighty
thousand Serbians have been captured and that five hun
dred of their guns have also been taken in western Serbia
notwithstanding the brave fight made against the
Teutonic allies. This announcement has not been officially
made here yet but it is assumed that the Serbian army
was surrounded near the Montenegrin frontier and that
the surrender of large forces became necessary. Serbia
is now regarded as completely conquered.
DARDANELLES GETS FIERCE
ROTTERDAM, Nov. 22.—Information received here
indicates that tremendous fighting is now proceeding in
the Dardanelles region. Either the Turks or the Allies
have opened a terrific offensive, according to this informa
tion, but the dispatches coming are indefinite.
TO HOLD DARDANELLES
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 22.—It is stated here on
the best authority that Lord Kitchener has negatived the
proposal that the Allies should abandon the Dardanelles
and that the campaign will, therefore, be continued with
the object of holding great forces of Turkish troops that
might otherwise be used for possible operations against
Egypt or against the allied army that has landed at
Salonika
SEARCH GREEK SHIPS
PARIS, Nov. 22.—It is unofficially reported that the
allied warships have now started searching Greek ships
and that, therefore, the literal blockade is in actual opera
tiion. The reports regarding Greece’s position with
respect to the different belligerents are conflicting and it
is impossible to foretell what the action of the Greek gov
ernment about the war will be yet. Several Greek mer
chantmen have already been searched, according to the re
ports, and this would be tantamount to hostilities on the
part of the Allies against that country.
GERMANS ON TRIAL
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Karl Buenz, formerly Ger
man consul general at New T ork, and the oflicials of the
Hamburg American line are now on trial on the charge
of supplying German raiding cruisers with supplies,
munitions and information while the raiders were at
tacking allied shipping in the north and south Atlantic. 11
is expected that amongst those on trial are six ringleaders
of the plot to blow up munition plants and factories. The
plot is now believed to have as parties to it several women,
a number of Teutonic official representatives, German
bankers, business men and hordes of. agents scattered
throughout the country. The authorities claim that f orty
million dollars were at the disposal of the conspirators to
stop munition ships.
SEA BATTLE NOT COMING
LONDON, Nov. 22.—The British have added a big
fleet of submarines to those already operating ^ in the
Baltic and the sailing of those boats into the fattegat,
convoyed by cruisers and torpedo boats, is. believed to
have given rise to the rumors that the British fleet had
gone to attack the German fleet in the Cattegat. Thoi e
is believed to be no chance of such a naval engagement.
