FRENCH AND GREEKS EIGHT
BUT THE FORMER APOLOGIZE
ALLIES TO FORCE GREEKS
PARIS. Nov. It!.—It is now admitted that Greece has
refused point blank the demand of the Allies, saying that
the refusal was essential to the safety of Greece, but the
allied nations are determined to force the Greeks to com
pliant1 and war is regarded as almost unavoidable. It is
known that the central powers have agreed to aid Greece
to repulse the French and British should we attack but we
claim that Venizelos, then premier of Greece, invited the
allies to land at Saloniki and that Greece now, therefore,
has no right to protest against our landing there. The
Teutons and the Greeks declare that our action in landing
in Greece is similar to the action of Germany in forcing
its way through Belgium but we have the invitation of
the head of a Greek government and the Germans had no
such invitation. The Greek government is now also
threatening to intern all allied troops that might try to
escape from Serbia should the allies meet reverses there
but if necessary French and British fleets will be sent to
Greece to force her to remain neutral and to permit the
allied forces to pass through. It is regarded as possible
that King Constantine, the whole cause of Greece’s re
fund to aid the allies, will be dethroned. It is evident now
that Greet111 cannot keep out of the war on one side or the
other. Both sides are straining every effort to secure hei
assistance which would be invaluable in the present state
of affairs, and a few days will tell.
GREEKS AND FRENCH CLASH
BERLIN. Nov. 16.—Greek and French troops have
come to a clash at Saloniki. the Greek port at which the
allied forces landed from the Agean sea. The French at
tempted to take possession of a Greek ammunition towet
but the Greeks forcibly prevented them from doing so and
quite a battle was fought, according to the most reliable
information. The French later apologized and for the
present the matter is quieted down.
BOMBARD GORITZA
VIENNA, Nov. 16—The city of Goritza has sufferec
heavily from Italian bombardments, it is officially ad
mitted today. Fifty civilians have been killed and fifty,
soldiers have been killed and wounded. Three hundm
buildings have been badly damaged. In addition to the j
long range artillery of the Italian airships took part in
the latest attack.
KITCHENER AT LEMNOS
LONDON, Nov. 1G—Advices from Milan ate to the
effect that Lord Kitchener has arrived on the island of
Lemnos in the Agean sea but no information to that effect
has been given out here officially. His whereabouts are
a matter of the deepest mystery and it is doubtful if any
one outside of the three men who are now conducting the
war for Great Britain could tell where he is or what his
ultimate destination will be. Many people believe he has
gone to India to meet a dangerous crisis which is said to
have arisen. It is now freely admitted that in reaching
out towards the Suez canal and Egypt and India the
Teutons have attacked this empire in its most vulnerable
point.
GERMAN STEAMER SUNK
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 1G.—The German steam
er Hespania has been sunk by a British submarine but

WINTER STOPS RUSSIANS
PETROGRAD, Nov. 16.—Snow, which in some places
is twenty feet in depth, and bitter cold has forced the
Russians to limit their fighting in the north to skirmishes
during the past few days, according to the official an
nouncement given out today. The weather is unusually
severe and it is feared that the Germans will be able to
hold their own until spring while they take advantage of
the milder climatic conditions south in the Balkans to
carry on their winter campaign. It is evident now that
they have planned for just such an arrangement.
JAP SHELLS HELP RUSSIA
LONDON. Nov. 16.—Petrograd advices state that
great shipments of Japanese shells have arrived and have
equalized the situation between the Russians and the
Teutonic allies. JRussia now seems to be confident of de
feating von Hindenburg as her equipment is equal and,
owing to the detaching of so many Germans to the Balkan
zone, her numbers far exceed those of her enemies on the
eastern front.
ZEPPELIN BROUGHT DOWN
LONDON, Nov. 16.—Advices from the Hague are
to the effect that a German Zeppelin has been so badly
damaged by Russian artillery that it has been forced to
descend. The crew is reported to have been saved. The
location of the occurrence is not given.

KRAUSE TAKEN
UNDER ARREST
MAN CHARGED WITH KIDNAP
ING C HRISTIE AT TREADWELL
CAUGHT IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Nov. 16.—Edward
Krause, of Petersburg, Alaska, was
arrested last night on the arrival ol
the steamer Jefferson from the north.
He is accused of kidnaping William
Christie, amalgamator of the Tread
well mines, who has completely dis
appeared. It was found on the arrest
of Krause that he had boarded the
Jefferson under the name of Moe.
The specific charge brought against
Krause is that of impersonating an
officer. The impersonation is said to
have been committed by Krause when
he went to Treadwell and told
Christie that he was a deputy mar
shal and that he had a subpoena foi
Christie to appear in the court at
Juneau. Christie went down to a
waiting launch to go across to Juneau
and he has never since been seen or
heard of.
On being arrested here last night
Krause declared that a stranger had
hired him and his launch and had
paid him to deliver a letter to
Christie. He then, he says, landed
both the stranger and Christie at Ju
neau and that was the last he saw or
heard of Christie. Krause had a bank
book on him when taken that showed
that he has two thousand dollars on
deposit. The police are now grilling
him in the effort to compel him to
confess if he is guiitv. Christie had
been married only a month when he
disappeared. Ho married a widow
named Gesekus to whom Krause is
said to have been paying serious at
tentions and it was supposed that
Krause had kidnaped his successful
rival and done away with him.

ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTES AGAIN
REVOLT UNDER PANKHLIRST
a
ENGLISH WOMEN BREAK OUT
LONDON, Nov. 16.—The suffragette movement has
broken out again in England but this time it is believed to
have for its object the creation of a wave of feeling
against the conduct of the war by the government. Em
meline Pankhurst has again taken the lead and the auth
orities have revoked a permit for a suffragist meeting
which she .was to have held tonight or tomorrow. She de
clares that she will hold the meeting anyhow and she has
already advertised that she and the other women of the
nation will demand “loyal and vigorous” conduct from the
government and the people at large. It is suspected that
she and the other leaders of the woman’s movement are
seeking the removal of Prime Minister Asquith and For
eign Minister Grey for their diplomatic defeat in the
Balkans.
U. S. NEEDS MEDICINE
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—Scores of Americans are dy
ing daily and thousands are suffering untold agonies be
cause of the failure of the supply of Salvarsan which
came from Germany but which now cannot be imported

and the United States government is now bringing pres
sure on the British government to permit the continu-.
tion of its exportation.

making preparations for the flotation of a new loan to
relieve the exchange situation. In semi-official circles the

)f the pound sterling has recently gone up but, it is said
some unusual aid had to be secured to bring this about.
AUSTRIANS CLAIM VICTORY
VIENNA, Nov. 16—“After four weeks of tenacious
and glorious fighting,” the official bulletin says today, we
have driven the Russians back to their original positions
at Czartorisk.” The war office also confirms the state
ment of the German war office that the Austrians have
driven the Russians across the river Styr. The Slays re
treated hastily across and only just had time to set lire to
their abandoned positions and fortifications. The victory
is regarded as the greatest since the Russian retreat I rom
vvesfern Galicia.
CHURCHILL DEFENDS HIMSELF
LONDON. Nov. 16.^In one of the most remarkable
speeches ever delivered in the house of commons Winston
Churchill last evening defended his actions while he was
at the head of the Admiralty. Churchill recently resigned
his position as chancellor oi' the Duchy of Lancaster to go
;o the front and apparently had decided to let himself
loose to explain his conduct to the^countrv. He declared
passionately that every move made by the navy during
his administration had been counselled ami advised by
naval experts. Touching on the accusations made against
him with respect to the Dardanelles and Antwerp fanuies
he declared warmly: “I will not have it said that the
Dardanelles attack was a civilian plan foisted by a politi
cal amateur upon- reluctant officers.” He answered all
other criticisms in the same vein while the house sat silent
and thrilled by the spectacle of a man who only a short
time before was promised a great career but who was
now brought to save himself from the accusation of hav
ing brought about the greatest disasters in British
history. ____
