U. S. ONCE MORE FACED BY
QUESTION OF INTERVENTION
thinks intervention futile
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. — A portentous complica
tion international affairs is now facing the administra
tion, it is generally conceded. Hie submarine subject is
paramount and the administration s attitude with respect
to the rescue of passengers is final. Full warning to ships
is demanded as strongly as ever and the armed ship issue
brought up by Germany to prove it right to not warn arm
ed merchantmen is not acceptable. The relations with
the nations of the Entente alliance are also not so clear as
Huy were. The blockade ol Germany is regarded as in
effective and discriminatory in favor of Norway and
Sweden. Wilson is unchanged in the belief that the in
tervention of this country would be futile.
INTEREST IN INTERVENTION
VIENNA. Nov. 20. — The interest of the people of
Austria in the question of intervention by the United
States remains unabated but it is believed that interven
tion would he futile. Some officials high in the govern
ment declare that an attempt by the United States and
other neutrals would be injurious to the Central powers
as it would make Britain think that the Teutons find peace
necessary. It is pointed out that all recent speeches by
British statesmen show that the Entente powers desire to
annihilate the central nations entirely.
MONASTIK NEAR FALL
LONDON, Nov. l}).—News from the Greek front to
• indicates that the fall of Monastic is imminent. The
Serbs ami their allies now have reached both sides of it
and information has come that the Bulgarians are making
preparations to evacuate. The fall of the city is expecteil
to exercise a strong effect on the morale of the Serbs and
to give the Roumanians greater confidence.
MONASTIK FALLS
PARIS, Nov. 20.—As predicted in the cables of yes
terday, the French under General Sarrail have taken
Monastir and once again the Serbians are in possession of
an important city in their own country. It will be made
the temporary capital of Servia immediately. The French
successes on the left were of such advantage that they
brought about the abandonment of the Kenali line which
was formerly believed invulnerable. A frontal attack
was so successful on the left that the line of retreat of
the Iiulgars was threatened and this fact was responsible
for the abandonment by the Bulgars of the most highly
fortified positions. Some of the trenches given up by
them were thirty feet deep. Ochrida which is seventy
miles to the west ward will probably also soon fall and this
will insure an effective juncture between the army of
Snloniki and the Italians stationed in Albania.
CREDIT TO THE SERBS
LONDON. Now 20.—Military experts give the great
est credit to the Serbs for the capture of Monastir and the
greatest stategic importance is attached to the victory.
It is pointed out that the Serbs who were completely con
quered apparently when their country was taken have
now a formidable army for the reconquest of their native
land. General Sarrail and all the allied generals give all
the honor for the brilliant success to their Serbian colle
agues. It is point out by nearly all the military writers
that if the Roumanians can hold out for a not very long
time immense developments may take place in the Balkans
in favor of the Entente!
BERLIN EXPLAINS MONASTIR
BERLIN, Nov. 20.—'The Germans and Bulgars have
retired northward from Monastir to prepared positions
nearer their base and are thus drawing the allied forces
further from their own base into a roadless region. The
evacuation of Monastir is merely of local importance and
the holding of it was noc worth the sacrilice of lives. It s
admitted that quitting the place may cause more confi
dence in the minds of the enemy but this is the only ad
vantage to lie expected.
GERMANS REPULSED
PARIS, Nov. If). — The Germans were repulsed last
night on the Somme front east of Berny.
FLIES NEARLY (UK)

SAY TEUTONS LACKED MEN
LONDON, Nov. 20.—The military experts continue
today to feature the fall of Monastir and declare that its
loss shows that the Teutons lacked men to send to the am
of the Bulgarians. They agree that Hindenburg knew 01
the danger six weeks ago but could do nothing. The mili
tary writers now say that the Allies must advance to Pri
iep* using Monastir as a base, and must move then on Ne
gotin when it will be possible to outflank the Bulgarians.
Che mountain passes east of Cerna are now openetl tor
the passage of the allied forces in Saloniki.
BERLIN MINIMIZES IT
BERLIN, Nov. 20.—Commenting on the fall of Monas
tir the German military authorities say that Sarrail has
failed to accomplish the task of forming a juncture wit!
the Russo-Roumanians in Dobrudja, a task which is now
held to be impossible. The inability to break the Bulgur
pressure on the east side, say the military men, has forced
the allies to try for a few minor successes like Monastir on
the other end of the front.
MORE RESULTS IN BALKANS
LONDON, Nov. 20.—Monastir will be named tempor
ary capital of Serbia today. The Serbian people, every
where are celebrating the recapture of the Serb city.
BERLIN CLAIMS SUCCESS
BERLIN, Nov. 20.—The Teutons in Transylvania are
withholding the enemy and our troops have forced the
mountain passes leading to Wallachia.
BELGIAN DEPORTATIONS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11). — Officials connected with
this government believe that the deportation of three hun
dred thousand Belgians by Germany may mean nothing
less than the Germans ars preparing to evacuate part of
Belgium at least. They point out Russia deported the
Germans of East Prussia before evacuating that pro
vince..
LIBEL DEUTSCHLAND
NEW LONDON, Nov. 19.—The families of three men
have brought libel proceedings against the submarine
Deutschland for the loss of their supporters in the colli
son between the submarine and the tug. They claim an
aggregate of fifty thousand dollars from the submarine |
company and have also libelled the tug company forj
twelve thousand. A bond will probably be put up by the i
1 Germans and the departure of the tug will be permitted.

MINING ON PRINCE WILLIAM,
ALASKA.
The ore deposits of the Prince Wil
liam Sound region may bo grouped
broadly into two classes—copper de
posits and gold-bearing quartz lodes.
The mineral associations in l>oth gold
and copper deposits are in general
the same, so that the copper mines
produce large amounts of gold or sd
VPV or both, and copper sulphide is
present in small amounts in many of
the gold quartz veins.
The known productive mines on
Prince William Sound in 1915 include
four copper mines and five gold
mines. A much larger quantity of
copper ore than of gold quartz was
mined and treated, and the total val
ue of the metals produced from the
copper ores was about five times that
obtained from the gold quartz ores.
The value of the total mineral pro
duction of the Prince William Sound
region in 1915 was $1,340,000 as com
pared with $1,200,000 in 1914.
The above information as well as a
detailed description of the mines and
prospects visited, is contianed in a re
port entitled “Mining on Prince Wil
liam Sound, Alaska,” by B. L. John
son, recntly issued by the United
States Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, as Bulletin 42-D.
