This was the last day of the city’s old home week celebration and the streets were black with people, all waiting for the big military and civic parade, which was scheduled to start at o'clock. The column was made up of visit- ing and local military companies, vic organizations, floats, and decorat- ed automobiles. Col. James Geddes, formerly in command of the Second Infantry, is the grand marshal and Governor Holcomb and staff are in town to review the procession. Among the visiting military organizations are the entire Second Infantry, C. N. G., the First and Second companies of Governors Foot Guard, the Put- nam Phalanx and Brigade of Uniform rank, Knights of Pythias. Grand Marshal Geddes es- timated that there would be at least 10,000 men in line. are placing a formidable army in the Balkans. Allied troops in large numbers con- tinue to be landed at Saloniki, says a news agency dispateh from that city. Permission for the landing of the al- lied forces at other Greek ports has cen obtained from the Greek gov- ernment, according to unofficial ad- vices from Athens. Some 125,000 men are said already to have de- barked at Saloniki, and 40,000 or 45,- 000 more are on the way.

London, Nov. 27, noon.—The Ser- bian forces soon will become an army without a country, unless the French should defeat the Bulgarians, four ivisions of whom are said to be ham- mering at the French lines. Reports arrive from various sources that Mon- estir has becn surrounded by Bul- garians and that they may not wait for their Austro-German allies before entering the Macedonian capital. The main Serbian army retreating a southwesterly direction before 1d Marshal Von Mackensen's may find no rest even in Greek territory, as it is reported here that ihe invaders of Serbia would not hesitate to cross into Greece. Appar- ently the German leaders expect the Serbians and their allies will await attack in Greece. It is said these operations will be under the supreme ~command of Field Marshal Von ackensen. Additional reports from the battle at Ctesiphon, in Mesopotamia, near Bagdad, indicate that the British forces won a substantial success in- stead of suifering a reverse, as at first reported.

Wish to Pre- vent Seizure of Boat from Buenos Aires. New York, Nov, 27.—The American trans-Atlantic company, several of whose steamships have been seized by British warships under suspicion of German ownership, awaits today an answer from Secretary of State Lans- ing to its request that an American warship be sent to Buenos Aires to convoy its steamer Winnebago to this port and save her from capture by British cruisers. The vessels recently purchased by this company 'have been placed under American registry but have been listed as “‘Suspected” by the British govern- ment. viPhesWinnebago is loaded with dye wood for Stamford, Comm., but the company does not dare to order her to sea, fearing that British warships are lying in wait. Meanwhile the Ameri- cean trans-Alantic company is collect- ing affidavits from its stockholders to prove that only American citizens and American capital are interested in ownership of its fleet, in the expecta- tion that this will lead to diplomatic representations by Mr. Lansing to the British government. NO COAL FOR STEAMER Norwegian Port Authorities Consider Case of mhen M. Thompson Mys- terious—Loaded With Motor Cars. London, Nov. 27, 7:10 a, m-—The steamer Robert M. Thompson, which evaded the British patrol boats by run- ning to the north of Iceland, will not be supplied with 150 tons of coal, as requested says a Reuter despatch from Bergen, Norway. The authorities consider it strange that a steamer os- tensibly bound for Archangel should have proceeded in the direction taken by tae Thompson. The vessel's deck cargo consisted chiefly of motor cars, The Robert M. Thompson sailed from New York November 3 for Ar- changel. She was detained at Deal in the allied troops. The situation along the Rumanian frontier, where a great Russian force #is said to have been gathered, is still olscure. The display by the Ru- manian public of feeling in favor of the entente powers is regarded in London as an indication that the nation is in a position to disregard the demands of the central powers. No definite news has been received of the renewed Austro-German offen- sive in Galicia, It is expected, how- ever, that this movement will be fished energetically for political effect on Rumania. 101,000 Serb Prisoners, Berlin, 27, Via Wireless To yville, N, I'he number of Ser- Tian prisoners taken up to the pre- sent time, by the German, Austro- #lungarian and Bulgarian troops,” says the Oerseas News Agency, “is 101,000 officers and men.

May Build in Plamvllle NOT FOR BRISTOL BRASS Believed Building Will Be Occupicd by Concern Recently Incorporated But Intentions Axc Being Strictly Guarded Frpm Public. (Spectal to the Herald.) Plainville, Nov. 27.—While admit- ting that he had practically concluded purchase of about ten acres of land in the east- ern section of Plainville and that the property will probably be used as a site for a manufacturing plant, A. F, Rockwell, former head of the New Departure Manufacturing com- pany, the present president of the Bristol Brass company and one of Connecticut’s most energetic captains of industry, declined today to further discuss a report that a concern in which he is interested is making plans to erect a large plant in this town. The property for which Mr. Rock- well is dealing is located east of the Trumbull Electric companying plant and has a frontage on the railroad. It is owned by G. C. Woodford and within a few days it is expected that papers will be passed transferring it to the Bristol manufacturer. When questioned today regarding the use to which the property will be put, Mr. Rockwell was inclined to be reticent. “My plans have not as yet matured sufficiently to permit of an announcement,” he told a Her- ald man. “The land is very desirable for manufacturing purposes and acquiring it I had in mind its use as a site for a factory building.” Not For Bristol Brass, Asked if he had bought the land for the Bristol Brass company which has been growing phenomenally dur- ing the past few months, Mr. Rock- well said that this corporation had nothing to do with the deal. Since Mr. Rockwell’s removal from the office of president of the New Departure company, articles of incor- poration have been filed with the sec- retary of state by a new manufac-, turing company in which the names of his sons appear as stockholders. This concern, it is said, will manufac- ture ballbearings and other products similar to those put on the market by the New Departure company and will enter the manufacturing field as one of the Bristol corporation’s com- petitors. Mr. Rockwell would neither af- firm or deny that the land was pur- chased to secure a site for the plant to be erected by the new corporation. He intimated that he had not fully made up his mind but seemingly made no effort to discourage the belief that the property will eventually be used for this purpose. Announce Plans Next Month. In two or thre weeks he expected In two or three weeks he expected lic announcement as to his plans but for the present he would prefer to give out no statement. The sale of the land was attended with great secrecy and while the deal has been in the works for the past few weeks, it was kept in the dark until yesterday when the news leaked out. Mr. Woodford claimed to be ignorant of the plans of the purchaser. In fact he declared he could not even tell to whom the pro- perty would be transferred. He was making negotiations through a third party, he thought, but he did not consider it advisable to mention the name of the prospective buyer. Had Other Land in View. Tor a long time Mr. Rockwell has had his eyes on property in Plainville for manufacturing purposes. Not, long ago, it has been learned, he authorized two prominent Plainville men to secure options on land here and he deposited a substantial amount to their order in a bank for that purpose. While the options were ob- tained they were allowed to expire without a sale, the Bristol man’s plans evidently having been changed in | the meantime. The deal which he is now conclud- ing is causing considerable specula- tlon among the few local people who have learned of the proposed pur- chase announcement of the intention to add another factory to Plainville's list of manufacturing establishments will soon be forthcoming. CALLS ON CARDI Gibbons Receives Visit From Ford— Does Not Formally Approve. Baltimore, Nov- 27.—Henry Ford, the Detroit manufacturer, called upon Cardinal Gibbons today to outline his plans for his proposed peace commis- sion to Europe. The cardinal devoutly echoed Mr. Ford’s hopes for a successful culmin- ation of the project by Christmas, but he was averse to giving the manufact- urers’ plan his formal approval. NO MORE New York, Nov. 27.—The Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad, whose lines are choked as far back as Scranton with loaded freight cars it cannot move, today instructed its agents to accept no more freight for export till- further notice. FREIGHT. in | : | WOMAN DIES ON RAFT LACK OF PULMOTOR IS ALMOST FATAL Youth at 29 John Street Almost Fatally Overcome in Fire Last Night. by Smoke The prevailing custom of leaving the fire department’s pulmotor at the Central engine house until it is | needed came near costing the life ol nineteen year old Ernest Paffero of 29 John street last night. 7The youth was overcome by smoke from a firc which broke out at his home at 10 o’clock and was unconscious for thir- ty-five minutes, until Dr. Joseph Walsh was finally summoned. The fire was in the house owned and occupied by Benjamin Caggiano and started from an overheated stove setting fire to some papers and the woodwork. The actual damage was slight. Paffero is & nephew of Mr. Caggiano and was alone in the ten- | ement when the fire broke out. He | was sleeping on a couch and when | Officer Herbert C. Lyon dlsco\eredl the fire he was uncohscious. He was carried out. The pulmotor is not taken out by the department in response to alarms but is left at the Central station to be called for when needed. Ac- cordingly there was nothing to re- lieve the unconscious man. He was in this condition for thirty-five min- utes until Dr. Walsh was summonad. Later he was taken to tHe hospital in the police ambulance. The ‘youth‘ was so long unconscious that for a few minutes it was feared that it would be impossible to save his life. A humorous incident in connection with the fire concerns the disappear- ance of an upstairs tenant. Evident- ally awaking from his sleep and find- ing the room full of smoke the man, dragging most of his bedclothes be- hind him, leaped through a window onto the rear roof. A woman living next door saw him and called his name.. Instantly the man disappear- ed, leaving the bedding on the roof behind him. It is presumed that he jumped to the ground and hid in the nearby lumber yard until the excite- ment was over and he could return for his garments. AFTER STEAMER BURNS Tivoli Destroyed—Four.

When Ex-President Roase- velt visited British East Africa on his famous expedition some years ago, he met Mr. Krieger and the latter accompanied him on several of | his hunting trips. The New Britain man won a reputation for courage and daring and on that account was much revered by the native. He had many close calls while hunting and on one acy on narrowly escaped being torn to pieces by a wounded lion. Was Born in Germany. Beyond the fact that he was born in Germany and possesses a German name, it is not known here that the British government had reason to take him into custody. But it is well known fact that the British govern ment both at hame and in the colonia] possessions has taken exceptional precautions to prevent information valuable to their enemies from leak- ing out. To this end thousands of Germans and men of Teutonic extrac- tion have been arrested and placed under surveillance in concentration camps- Release under these condi- tions is difficult to obtain and could only be brought about by the pres- entation of unquestionable evidence that the suspect was innocent. In the case of Rev. Mr. Krieger, this may be especially difficult as he is n.t a citizen of the United States and also was no longer engaged in mis- sionary work. ¥From what can be learned here, it is understood that he was taken into custody while an =2 government hunting expedition.
