Official report states that bombs were successfuly dropped on Forts in the suburbs, the arsenal, the aviation sta- tion and barracks, as well as on the ®as works and railway station. All the ralding units returned safely. In pressing their pursuit of the Ser- bians the Teutonic allies have cap- tured 5,000 additional prisoners, Ber- Iin announces thens despatches estimate that 2 m than 80,000 Bulgarians are fac- ~ ing 50,000 Serbians in the Monastir Tregion in south Serbia. The Serbian forces, which have evacuated Prilep ‘following their enforced abandonment of Babuna Pass, are expected to re- tire to the heights between Prilep and Monastir and eventually retreat to- wards Albania, the advices state. In the face of the concentration of #both Austrian and Russian forces on th¢ Rumanian frotier, Rumania is ex- pected speedily to reach a decision regarding her future attitude towards the two groups of belligerents, ac- cording to a Bucharest despatch to Rome. An attack by a German squadron on a British operinghe, six miles “Belgium, is reported by Lwar office. The Italians are pressing their cam- paign against Gorizia, Rome report- ing an intense bombardment in this zZone of operations- The Austrias are replying vigorously to the Italian ar- tillery fire and apparently are bring- _dng up reinforcements. " Paris learns that the next meeting 4 of the allied war council will be held in London, with the probability that the Russian and Italian governments will be represented. i The Italian officlal report on the’ .sinking of the liner Ancona, outlined in a Naples despatch, asserts that the steamship was fired upon without warning and that the boats were shelled while they were being low- ered. Efforts to include China in the en- tente alliance are being made by Great Britain, France and Russia, * with a view of preventing possible friction between Japan and China and preserving the peace of the Far Fast, it has been learned in Washing- ton. China would not be expected to participate in the present war. A conference~between Field Mar- shal Earl Kitchenerand Ges. Sar- rail, commander of the French forces in the Orient, was held yesterday at Saloniki- Both the situation in the Balkans and at the Dardanelles may have been considered at this confer- ence, General Sarrail having been in “command of the French troops on the “Gallipoli Peninsula before ne went to Saloniki in connection with the allied operations in aid of the §erbians. 1 Denys Cochn, the French cabinet member sent on a special mission to Greece, had an hour’s audience with King Constantine yesterday, a Paris ews agency despatch from Athens ¥ states. The Greek legation in Paris denies the recent press reports from Athens that a German mililary commission had, with the assistance of Greek au- thorities, inspected. the camp of French and British troops at Saloniki. German and French aviators had “#n engagement near Luneville, Paris announces five out of eight German acroplanes seeking to bombard the town being driven away. Bombs dropped by the other three wounded three persons but inflicted only minor » Mmaterial damage. i ' The only activity by troops along the western front reported from Paris was in Alsace. Little Hope for Monastir. ¥ London, Nov. 19,—The fate of Monastir is not yet known definitely, but there is little hope in England that it will escape the Bulgarians. There is a possibility, however, that the in- vaders will not dare to make such an e¢xtension of their line, with the ench apparently established solidly n their flank. Left in the dark as to the actual progress of the Anglo-French cam- paign in the Near East, the British public can only hope the entente allies will soon have such strong forces there that they will enable the harass- d Serbians to make a successful 'siand and preserve a small portion of f tieeir country, as the Belgians did | niong the Yser. Some substance is piven this hope by unofficial news that e Anglo-French force is now assum- s formlidable proportions as well as Dby hints that Italy is on the verge of metua) participation in the Balkan eampaign. _ The retreat of the Serbians towards the Albanian border is causing In- ereased uneasiness at Athens, but the elopments there are interpreted as sea- aeroplane camp near from Ypres, the Berlin (Continued on Tenth Page) Galt diary. MORE ARRESTS FOR PASSPORT FRAUDS Department of Justice Receives In- formation Which Will Lead to Further Indictments. Washington, Nov. 9.—The depart- | ment of justice was today making fur- | ther inquiry into the activities of Aus- | trian Consul General Von Nuber and | his associates. In an announcement | the department said that information | had been obtained which probably | would lead to further indictments for | passport frauds. Von Nuber and German Ambas- | sador Von Bernstorff were recently charged publicly by Dr. Joseph Gort- | car, former Austrian consul, with hav- ing directed propaganda carried on by the Austro Hungarian consular | service in the United States for fu- menting strikes in munition plants. , These allegations have already been formally denied ‘by the Austrian em- bassy here and through the embassy by the Austrian foreign minister. The investigation is the outcome of a conference in New York on Wednes- | day between A. Bruce Bielaski, chief | of the bureau of investigations of the department of justice and Dr. Goricar. PARISIAN DRESSMAKERS | BLACKLIST AMERICANS Kurzmann, of German Blood, Cannot Get Gowns for Mrs. Galt’s Wedding. Paris, Nov. 19, 10 a. m.—The Paris | dressmaker’s syndicate has blacklist- | ed two American customers of Ger- man origin, one of them a man named Kurzmann, reputed to have | been commissioned to buy gowns for Mrs. Norman Galt, who is to be the bride of President Wilson according to Gustave Tery's newspaper L’Oeuvre. The newspaper avers that Kurz- mann has threatened to raise a diplo- matic question because of the mod- | istes’ refusal to accept -orders from him. L’Oeuvre declares, however, that each house from which he or- | dered gowns has offered to supply | them, with its compliments, to Mrs. | without having them pass through the hands of an‘ interme- Paul Poiret, presidént of the dress- makers’ syndicate, is absent from Paris. His confidential secretary, however, confirmed the statement that Kurzmann has threatened to raise a diplomatic question over the de- clination of the modistes to fill his or- ders for gowns which he asserts are intended for Mrs. Galt. “You may declare that no member of our syndicate will deliver goods to Kurzmann, or through Kurzmann or any other German house,” said the secretary. ‘At the same time, each or every member of the syndi- cate would be proud to be honored with a commission to make a gown for President Wilson’s filancee, and would be most happy if permitted to present it with its compliments.” Rue de La Paix and other leading houses refuse to state whether or not they have had orders for gowns for the President’s filancee. Some of them say, however, that they have had orders from Kurzmann which they are unable to fill in consequence of the decision of the syndicate. All express regret that such an incident has come up and state that they hope it will cause no annoyance to Presi- dent Wilson. They are endeavoring to dispose of the matter without too much publicity but declare that they cannot overturn the decision of their representative body. QUARRIES CO. SUED. Through Lawyer E. M. Yoemans of Hartford the Standard Oil company of New York, with offices in Hart- ford, today brought suit against the New Britain Trap Rock company on Stanley street.

VENICE BOMBARDED Austrian Aeroplanes Fight With Ital- ian Machines and Make Successful Raid. Vienna, Nov. 19, via London, 11:11 a. m.—Venice has again been bom- barded by Austrian aeroplanes. Of- ficial announcement was made here today that an aerial squadron attack- ed military establishments of that city yesterday afternoon.

BRITISH ORDERED NEUTRAL FLAGS USED Germany Sends Out Alleged Ad- miralty Orders to Shipping SERVE AS PROTECTION American, italian, Scandinavian and Putch Colors Supposed to Have R Served, British Shipping as Sub- marine Shields. Berlin, via London, Nov. 19, 5:12 a. m.—What purport to be the fre- queptly mentioned but never pub- lished British admiralty instructions to the masters of merchant ships re- garding the use of neutral flags to es- cape the submarine menace are print- ed by Capt. Kuehlwetter in the Lokal Anzeiger today. The German admir- alty referred to these instructions at the outset of the submarine campaign and in the diplomatic correspondence regarding the sinking of the Lusi- tania. The first of the regulations as printed by the Lokal Anzeiger is un- dated but apparently was issued at the beginning of the submarine campaign. It takes the form of a telegram from the British admiralty communicable to all ships and is given as follows: Show Neutral Flag. “British shipping is instructed to maintain a sharp watch for subma- rines and show either the flag of a neutral country or none at all so long as the ship is in the vicinity of the British Isles. The British flag must be shown on meeting British or allied warships. House flags must not be carried and marks, such as name and home port, must be ef- faced. “Flags which should be used ac- cording to the above are the follow- ing: American, Italian, Scandinavian, and Holland.” 4 Confidential. The second document is a decree of “commander in chief at Devonport” British Naval Station dated March 15, which reads: “Confidential. “Carrying neutral flag; use of false names. “Neutral flags: Ships upon long Vvoyages and upon regular voyages about the United Kingdom shall be equipped with neutral flags if they carry a valuable cargo. The neutral flags shall be carried, according to route as follows: “Route Bristol channel and south- ern part of the Irish channel, Nor- wegian, Greek or Italian flag. “Route Liverpool, Glasgow and northern part of Irish channel, Span- ish or Norwegian flag. ‘““Route eastern coasts of the King- «om, some Scandinavian flag, or south of Hartlepool the flag of Holland or Spain. “Crossing the channel no flag shall be shown.” Other documents explaining the in- ternational propriety of using neutral flags or otherwise disguising ships ana using the shelter of the neutral three- mile zone bear less directly upon the subject, except a paragraph of so- called confidential instructions from the British admiralty, also issued in March, 1915, directing British ships to make every effort to escape because they would be sunk in any case and the crew, even if the vessel were tor- redoed, would have time to take to the boats under most circumstances. These instructions are reported to contain this order: If a submarine comes to the surface ahead and in the vicinity with openly hostile inten- tions, steer directly at it with the highest speed, and keep changing the course so that the submarine always is dead ahead.” LURE OF GRIDIRON HURRIES UP COURT Deputy Judge and Both Prosecutors Going to the Yale-Harvard Game Tomorrow. The lure of the gridiron has upset the local police court. The battle be- tween the rejuvenated Yale eleven and the powerful Harvard football ma- chine which is to be staged at the Harvard Stadium at Cambridge, Mass., tomorrow afternoon has thinned the ranks of the professional men in this city, more especially the legal lights. This football classic which bids fair to go down in the annals of college athletics as one of the greatest con- tests ever staged, will be witnessed by a majority of the lawyers in this city and Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett will be among the most ardent rooters for Old Eli. So will Assistant Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods, himself a Yale man. Assistant Judge John H. Kirkham is to lend his presence to the cheering multitude, leaving only Judge James T. Meskill in this city to attend to the arduous duties of the police court. Accordingly, with the assistant judge and both prosecutors absent from the city it will be impossible to have a session of police court tomor- row morning at 8:30 o’clock, the usual time. Therefore Assistant Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods asked Judge Meskill this morning for a re- cess until 7:45 o’clock tomorrow morning. It was granted and court will convene at that time. If it is impossible to conclude all in time to permit the barristers to catch the train for Boston it will be necessary to adjourn until Monday. -SPRING ST. WOMAN . the cases | SEEKING DIVORCE Mrls. Joseph Golon, Who Once Teft Husband, Now Seeks Her Liberty. Alleging Yntolerable cruelty, Mrs. Helen Golon of 51 Spring street to- day brought suit against her husband, Joseph Golon, for. absolute divorce. She has retained Lawyer M. D. Saxe and the writ, served by Constable Fred Winkle, is returnable before the superior court on the first Tuesday in December. In her complaint Mrs. Golon sets forth that she was married on May 15, 1910, and that the alleged cruel- ties of her husband* began about January 1, 1914, In addition to asking absolute di- vorce, Mrs. Gglon asks the custody of her four-years-old daughter, Frances Josephine, and the right to resume her maiden name, Helen Joseficik. Mrs. Golon’s domestic have been brought to the attention of the public on onc = other occasion when, within the past year, she de- serted her husband ‘and with her child stayed away from'him for some time. Later a reconciliation was ef- fected, but it was not lasting. LIGHTING RATES WILL BE REDUCED JANUARY | U. E. L. and W. Co. Will An- nounce New Year’s Gift Soon.

Washington, ‘Nov. 19.—Great Brit- | ain, France and Russia have united in | an effort to add China to the entente | alliance in order to prevent possible friction in the future between Japan and China, and to preserve the peace | of -the Far East. If China agrees to the plan, military participation in | the present war is not expected. Negotiations thus far are in a con- | versational stage at Peking with no | indications as to China's attitude. Although the United States is being kept informed its diplomatic repre- sentatives at Peking and European capitals are refraining from partici- pation. This sensational turn in far eastern affairs .on the eve of the proposed change by China from a republic to | a monarchy has been in confidential exchanges between the allied powers during the last week but only became known here today. Japan Not Consulted. Japan, so far as is known, has not yet been consulted, and if that gov- ernment knows of the plans unoffi- cially, there is nothing here to 'indi- cate what- its attitude will be. This latest step by Great Britain France and Russia is understood here to have been considered essential to permanently safeguard the interests of the allies. The impending change in China’'s form of government has rendered the situation somewhat acute. Fear of revolution in China ference to preserve peace has attract- ed wide attention among the Buro- pean diplomats. ‘Would Keep Out Japan. By joining the entente alliance, none of China's operations could af- fect the course of the war in Europe, but the move would effectively guar- antee Japanese abstension from in- terference in China. Japan's atti- ‘tude is not clear as yet, but two pos- sibilities are considered here plausible: First that Japan will join in the movement on the theory that her paramount interests in China will not suffer any abridgement through the future actions of the allies, or, second, that Japan will remain aloof from any agreement viewing even the future entrance of China as an ally as not altering Japan’s'right to in- dependent action in the far east wherever her interests are affected. Diplomats Favorable, Some Chinese diplomats are be- lieved here to be inclined very favor- ably toward the move as insuring the | integrity of China beyond question and stabilizing national government.
