HOBSON MAKES REQUEST Would Have Former President Give His Views on the Question of the Nation’s Preparedness for Defense. Naval Officer Testifies. ‘Washington, Dec. 16.—Colonel { Roosevelt looms up as a possible wit- ness before the house naval commit- tee in its discussion of the prepared- ness of national defenses. At the day’s session Representative Hobson pressed Chairman Padgett to call the former president. The question was left to be decided in an executive ses. sion of the committee. “Why invite him?” demanded Rep- resentative Butler. “He's been assistant secretary of the navy and president, a commander- in-chief, and has been in a position to know the facts about national de- fensey” returned Mr. Hobson. Commander Sterling testified there were eighteen submarines in the At- lantic fleet; that the flotilla should have better tender facilities, and that there shduld ‘'be more permanency in the assignments of officers. It fakes six months training to learn to take out a submarine and years to under- stand the engine and other troubles, he said. “Are we as well advanced as other nations in submarines?” he was asked. “I don’t think we are,” he replied, “if we belleve the Teports from abroad. The Gérmans, English and French have 800 and 1,000-ton submarines in commission.’ " TRADING EXTENDED ON STOCK EXCHANGE New York, Dec. 16.—Open trading in all shares listed on the New York Stock Pxchange, subject only to two restrictions, was resumed for the first ‘time since ‘the exchange was closed July 80.

Then came a heavy selling on- slaught. Under this pressure most is- sues declined from substantial frac- tions to three points under the previ- ous day's closing prices. There was a heavy attendance at the; opening. States Steel and Union and Southern Pacific stocks were traded in; the rest of the room seemed almost de-| serted.

BELGRADE AGAIN IN HANDS OF SERVIANS London, Dec. 16.—Belgrade is re- ported to have been reoccupied by the Servian army. ‘With the admission by Austria of the failure of a third attempt to sub- due Servia, and the advance claimed by the war office at Nish for the armies operating against the invaders. it is believed here that Austria’s as- saults upon the domain of King Peter may completely collapse. The Austrian forces in Servia were weakened in order that troops might be sent to the aid of the army op- erating against the Russians in the Carpathians. The Servian army immediately fell upon and put to flight the weakened right wing of the Austrians and push- ed on toward Belgrade. Another portion of the Austrian army was thrown back toward the Drina. This drive forced the enemy back into Bosnia, where the Monte- negrin army is reported to have cut it off. The sudden defeat of the Austrians, after it was believed Servia had been all but crushed, is one of the surprises of the war. Belgrade was taken by the Aus- trians only twelve days ago after a four months’ campaign. Valjevo was captured by the Austrians last month. | This city has also been retaken by | the Servians.
