Paris, Nov. 11, 5:10 p. m.—Minister of War Gallieni made his maiden speech to the chamber of deputies today in reply to an interpellation bia.” Already the Serbians have been driven from the first of the ridges south of Kralievo, according to to- day’s official report from Berlin, while south of Krusevac and elsewhere along the winding line Gen. Putnik’s troops, stubbornly fighting, have been pushed further back into their hilly @efensive positions. ‘The fall of Veles, in southern Ser- * bia, is imminent after a severe defeat inflicted upon the Bulgarians by the French, according to a Saloniki des- 4 patch. % On the French front, Paris reports spirited exchanges by the artillery arm in the vicinity of Loos, while near Bus, in .the Artois district, German bat- teries were silenced. ‘What the loss of life was in the sPhking of the Italian liner Ancona by a submarine in the Mediterranean has not been definitely determined. Con- sul advices to Washington have in- dicated that 347 were saved out of 496 said to be on board, leaving 149 un- accounted for. Berlin has no official advices re- garding the Ancona, it is declared there, and it is believed there that the Austrian government has not as yet received a report of the incident. Choice of Greeks. London, No. 12, 12:25 p. m.—All| doubt as to what road Greece would choose out of the muddle caused by tne divergent views of her political j@:ders and as to how the policies of {he Skouloudis cabinet could be ren- dered compatible with the opinions of the adverse majority in the chamber today were dispelled by a dissolution of the chamber of deputies. Publication of the decree apparent- 1v was received in Athens with calm, despite the fact that all elements had ped to avoid elections at the pres- it difficult moment. The Greek zovernment, it appears. considered dissolution the only possible means of fecuring for itself a full and unre- stricted liberty of action. Future Actions Dependent. Greek officials in London and at cther points continue to assert that Greece's future actions depend solely vpon military and not political con- siderations. So soon as Greece is con- vinced beyond doubt that the allles have produced enough troops to make pessible a successful offensive against Bulgaria and to remove the danger with which Greece would be con- frented if she entered the war in- adequately assisted, Grecce will, her representatives to Europe 3 im mediately range herseif on the side of the allies and render all the military co-operation of which she is capable May Gain Raiiw Today's military news from the Bal- kans makes it appear there is a dis. tinct possibility that the Anglos "French and Serbian forces ma, ceed in gaining a part of the Nis “#ay ag far as Uskup.

M. Morin remarking that. members of parliament had not so- licited favors, although they had made recommendations, requested Gen. Gallieni to state whether mem- bers had intervened in the war min- istry in a reprehensible manner. “I am -a soldier and never occu- pled myself with politics,” said Gen. Gallieni. ““All under whom I have served can tell you how I have un- derstood my_duty towards the coun- try. I have taken the ministry of war only from devotion to the com- mon cause we must all defend. This work would be condemned to fail- ure if I could not count upon your unreserved co-operation. “I thought it useful to stop the plague of recommendations. Our| soldiers should have the conviction that only equity and law determine our decisions. Every soldier has the right to make a complaint with- out hindrance from any person. That is the object of my instructions. All complaints will be examined with the greatest sympathy, because sym- pathy is an essential quality of a mili- tary chief. It is necessary that every soldier should be able to make his complaint heard even at the top of the miiltary hierarchy.” Gen. Gallieni added that parlia- mentary control was necessary to un- veil and repress abuses. M. Morin asked if any recommen- dation had been made by a member of parliament which was not for the best interests of the country as might be supposed from press comment. The war minister responded that he was not responsible for press comment. CABINET MEETS President Wilson Talks With Advisers for First Time Since Tast July—Nn Action on Ancona Expected. Washington, Nov. 12.—President | Wilson and the cabinet met today for | the first time since lost July when the German submarine question was at cne of its most serious stages. The | sinking of the Italian liner Ancona | was the most important foreign ques- | tion before the cabinet today, but no | definite action was expected until full official details were at hand. It was stated at the White House, however, that the cabinet meeting to- day was called only because the president wanted to get in touch with Yis official advisers before the opening o~ congress to discuss his annual mes- sage and legislation affecting their de- | partments. From now on cabinet meetings will be held regularly twice a week. EMBARGO ON BUTTER. London, Nov. 12, 9:15 A, M.—Be- ginning November 15, butter will be added to the list of articles whose exportation is forbidden by the Swed- ish government, according to a Reu- ter despatch from Stockholm. This | will make the embargo on the export i of food products virtually complete. WHARF PROPERTIES GAIN T0 NEW HAVEN Mellen Testifies as to Reason for Buying Windsor Line BOATS AGAIN TRANSFERRED Attitude of Roosevelt I.ed Directors to Proceed in Aquiring Transporta- tion Property in 1907—Mellen Ad- vocated Morse Offer. New York, Nov. 12.—Acting upon their understanding of the assurances of former President Roosevelt that no action would be taken against the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad if they rejected the made by Charles Morse in 1907 to take their steamship holdings off their hands, the board of directors of the road continued in their policy of acquiring control of additional steam- ship lines, according to testimony adduced at the trial of the eleven directors of the road today- The Morse offer they rejected in spite of strong recommendation by Charles 8. Mellen, president, that advantage of the opportunity be taken. Mellen in a memorandum had pointed out that it would be neces- sary to strengthen the New Haven against Morse competition, and the New Haven, immediately after Mel- len’s interview with Roosevelt began negotiations for the acquisition of Boston and Philadelphia Steamship company, known as the Windsor line, which had important whart terminals in Providence, and which, the gov- ernment maintains, the New Haven feared might get into the hands of Morse: These wharf properties, the New' Haven, on acquiring the line transferred to itself and then sold the rest of its properties ta the Mer- chants and Miners Transportation company, which was described as “A friendly interest.”” The transaction involved a voting trust arrangement whereby the New Haven was able to exercise influence in -the manage ment of the Menchants and Miners and to put James F. Hemingway, a defendant director, upon the line’s board of directors, Steps for Acquisition. The prosecution then began to put in documentary testimony to prove that after this the New Haven took steps to acquire other steamboat lines, in pursuance to a memorandum by Mellen to the board of directors that it the Morse lines were not taken over, it would be necessary to strengthen the New Haven against the Morse ccmpetition. There were two lines, the Merchants and Miners and the Windsor Line which the New Haven had its eyes on for this purpose, the testimony seems ‘o show. As for back as 1900 the New Haven had thought it advisable to get the Windsor, it was brought out by a letter exchanged between execu- tive officials of the company, and in 1905 tentative negotiations were in progress for its purchage. on January-12, 1907, when the di- rectors of the New England Naviga- tion company, a New Haven road Lolding company, voted to refer the question of its acquisition to a com- mittee “with power, ” Buying of Windsor Line. On February 9, 1907, Mellen re- perted to the board that as head of the committee he had acquired the ‘Windsor Line, through Kidder, Pea- body & Co., Boston bankers, and his action was approved. The price was $185 a share and the bankers got $9.25 per share commission. Meantime, according to letters ex- changed between Mellen and J. C. ‘Whitney of the Merchant & Mining Transportation Co., “A friendly inter- est,” Mr. Mellen had sought to induce the latter line to purchase the Wind- sor. The Windsor stock was selling a* that time, according to one letter, at $1.30 a share. Mellen characterized the line as one “we would rather not buy,” but that the line owned wharf properties in Providence which the New Haven re- garded as important. The negotiations with the Merchants und Miners did not materialize, and Mellen then jumped in and bought the line himself. It was soon arranged, according to other letters and minutes, to consol- idate the Windsor with the Mer- chants and Miners und§r a voting trust except that/ the wharf proper- ties were transferred to the New Ha- ven. The Merchants and Miners was then independent. Result of Transaction, The net result of this transaction, explained Mr. Mellen, was that the New Haven acquired a voting infer- est in the Merchants and Miners through the exchange of its Windsor I line stock for Merchants and Miners securities. James F. Hemingway thereafter represented the New Ha- ven in the Merchants ~and Miners board of directors. Delancey Nicoll, for the defense, protesting against the reading of so many letters on the subject, said: “It's getting to be a question as io whether the war or this trial will be over first:"” Action in that direction was takenl offer | DVINSK FORT FALLS TO RISE AGAIN Particularly Constructed Defense Has Been Captured and Lost Fiftcen Times. Berlin, via London, Nov. 12, 5:03 a. m.—The difficulties of the army - besieging Dyinsk because of the na- ture of the fortress, which is built of sand, are pictured by Captain Von Kueschuetzky, correspondent of the Vossische Zeitung. “Had it been of rock,” experts de- clare it would have been knocked to pieces long ago,but an artillery bombardment is of little avail against a sand fortress. It was captured fifteen times between Sept. 15 and ! Oct. 26, and still is not in the Ger- man’s possession. It has been re- duced in size one-half without affect- ing the strength of the remginder. “Every rod of land is coverea with permanent trenches roofed securely against shrapnel and shell fragments and connected with so-called ‘fox holes,” small shelters where the gar- risons are secured against the heavi- est shells, Exploding projectile are smothered in sand trenches skilfully laid out so that they are mutually outflanking. An apparent success- ful attack often means the destruc- tion of the assailants by the flank- ing fire of machine guns. One com- pany thus lost fifty-one dead on October 23. BRITAIN TO MAINTAIN GRIP ON GERMANY Her Policy at Sea Will Not Be Affected By Note Says Spectator. London, Nov. 12, 12:40 p. m—*The American note causes us little con- cern as Englishmen,” says the Spec- tator, commenting on the recent note of the United States to Great Britain relative to interference with Ameri- can trade. “Its harsh and unsympa- thetic tone will not make us relax in the slightest degree the grip on the throat of Germany which our sea power gives us. We shall answer the note politely and in a much more humai spirit than that which inspires its words, but we shall answer ir firmly. That we must do whatever the consequences, but there will be no consequences.” The Spectator believes the major- ity of Americans would not tolerate seeing Great Britain stabbed in the back. It does not believe President Wilson will mix the problems of mu-~ nitions and contraband, and it Tre- fuses to regard America as a purely foreign country. The weekly con- tinues: “When history comes to be writ~ ten Americans of the future will feel anything but pride when they re- member ‘the official action of Ameri- ca during the great war. They will note how, first, it considered main- taining a rigid neutrality on the mor- al issue—the brutalizing of Belgium, as Col. Roosevelt called it; further, how the Washington government bore the outrages committed on American subjects, like the sinking of the Lusitania, until the efficiency of the British navy had abated the underwater menace, and again when; ir the supreme moment of England’s agony, they thought they had found certain technical infringements of their rights, they vehemently pushed their paper case.” The Spectator says the British U. 3. TOINVESTIGATE - PROPAGANDA CASE Dept. of Justice Will Look Into Claims Attributed to Dr. Goricar INVOLVES VON BERNSTORFF | Goricar Said to Have Been Aunthor of Statement That German Diplomats Are Active in Furthering Strikes and Destruction. Washington, Nov. 12.—Published charges, attributed to Dr. Joseph Gori- car, former Austro-Hungarian consul | at San Francisco, that Austrian con- | suls in the United States, working un- der the direction of Consul General Von Nuber and Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, are active in | propaganda for destruction of muni- tions factories and fomenting strikes among the workers, will be referred by the state department to the justice department for investigation. The Austrian embassy here denounced Goricar’s published statement as un- true in every particular, and an- nounced it would try to find some way to prosecute him for it. Goricar, the embassy said, left his post on leave and failed to return. Declines to Comment. Secretary Lansing today declined to comment on the charges, as has been his invariable custmo when dealing | with like cases, which were of an un- official character. The department of Jjustice has a good deal of information on hand regarding the activities of Consul General Von Nuber, which it gathered while investigating his con- nection with the case of Dr. Dumba, the recalled Austrian ambassador, but 80 far has nothing definite on the charges attributed to Dr. Coricar. Disliked Spy Work. In substance, Goricar is accredited ‘with making the statement that he re- signed his post after fifteen years in the Austrian consular service because he declined to perform the work of a spy. He charges that while consul at San Francisco, Comander Maxi- milian Burstyn, the Austrian naval at- tache at Washington, ordered him to gather plans of the fortifications of San Francisco harbor, and along the Pacific coast, and te get especially de- tails of the works at Bremerton navy yard. When he refused, Goricar is accredited with saying he was trans- ferred to Berlin, where, after five Vienna, which he feared to do, be- | be regulated by the state. months, he was ordered to proceed to | STATE REGULATING SALE OF FOOD German Government to Ultimately Take Over All Digtribution of Niecessities. Berlin, Via, London, Nov. 12, 5:46 a. m.—Virtually the entire food supply of the nation is expected soon to pass under governmental control, to insure an equitable distribution of supplies at falr prices among the en- tire population, rich and poor. Coffee, tea and cocoa were added today to the list of products whose sale will The federal council authorized the chancellor to issue regulations covering trade In them. The chancellor also was authorized establish maximum prices for Tiickwheat and millet, marmalades and honey, vegetables, fruits and sauerkraut. These prices apply to producers. Local authorities in municipalities of more than 10,000 population are required to fix maxi- mum prices for retail dealers in these supplies. The authorities in smaller places are empowered to take similar action if they see fit. The chancellor is given authority to set maximum prices, Bread, potatoes, pork, milk and butter already have been subjected to a maximum price schedule. The consumption of other meats is regu- lated and limited by so-called “Meat- less days.” Maximum prices for all varieties of meat and fish are believed to be in sight. BRISTOL WHITE SLAVERS ARRESTED IN TROY Men Held Will Be Tried Under Mann Act Says Supt. Egan. to Hartford, Nov. 12.—Superintendent of State Police Thomas F. Egan was notified this morning that Anthony Vcenstetino and Martin Slavia, the two men wanted in connection with the white slave conspiracy unearthed in | Bristol October 28, had been arrested | in "roy, N. Y., at the Tequest of State : Policeman T. F. Downing and wete being held pending extradition pro- ceedings. Anna Albert, Frank Dewey and Thomas Masso, who were origin- | ally arrested following a raid on a | house near Bristol October 28, were cause of his pro-Slavic affiliations, so he fled to Rome, where he resigned last December. Spreading of Propaganda. Goricar’s story asserts that the German ambassador working with Von Nuber, is in touch with the Aus- trian consuls at Cleveland, St. Louls, Pittsburgh, St. Paul, Chicago and Philadelphia, who spread propaganda among the foreign workers in the mu- nitions factories, and such activity, Goricar alleges, extends even to con- trolling the foreigners through fra- ternal and secret organizations. The alleged extent of the activities of the | Austrian consuls and tke so-called spy system are described at Iength in Goricar’'s published statement. Guricar’s record shows he first came to this country in 1909 and was consul at Pittsburgh, Denver, and finally San Francisco, where he served three years. GIRL RESCUED FROM have not torpedoed American ships, nor have they killed American cit- izens. The British embassy has not been the center of plots and con- spiracies, yet, when the tone of the notes to Great Britain and Germany is considered it is much less friendly teward Great Britain. Referring to the sinking of the Italian steamship Ancona, the Spec- tator says that unless the champion- ship which the executive has as- sumed refers to goods only and does not cover human beings, it ven- tures to suggest that Washington at least repeat the Lusitania ‘warning. FAMILY MAY BE LOST 2] Loca] Italian Sends Tickets to Wife and Children Who May Have Been on Torpedoed Ancona. Frank Parisi, a local Italian, is fearful for the safety of his wife and children, who, he believes, may have been lost when the Ancona was tor- pedoed by a submarine in the Medi- terranian Sea. Tickets on the Italian line for the mother and children to come to New Eritain were purchased several months ago by Parisi from the Di- Nonno agency in this city and were sent by mail three or four weeks ago. Parisi has not heard from his family since. Parisi and his friends figure that the tickets would have arrived just about in time to permit his wife and children to sail on the Ancona.

NVW\WMV‘I “LOCK SHOP” POND Drops Through Trestle While Trying to Avoid Switching Engine and Is Pulled Out by Crew. Miss Mabel Johnson, who is em- ployed at the Corbin Screw factory, while returning from work before 6 ¢’clock last evening attempted to pass around a switching engine just west of the High street crossing and fell through the trestle which spans the inflow to the Lock Shop pond. The water is fairly deep beneath the trestle and Miss Johnson went in | over her head. She screamed for help | and the train crew went to her rescue. She was drfawn out more frightened than hurt, although drenched to the skin. A conveyance was summoned to take the young Woman to her home. MAY OPPOSE McCABE Heirs of Ex-Representative Thomas H.

Gaffney of the court of probate has selected Monday morninsg at 9 o'clock for a hearing on the al- iowance of Patrick McCabe as ad- | ministrator on the estate of ex-Rep- resentative Thomas H. Brady.

While she was in that in- stitution the Plainville house was clcsed, the proprietors leaving town and taking her clothing with them.
