Berlin, Via London, Dec. 9, 4:53 a, m.—The Vossische Zeitung in a leading article on The Associated Press interview with King Constan- tine of Greece says that the clear sense of the King's declarations is that Greece is determined its ter- ritory shall not, like Chinese terri- tory in the Manchurian war, be made a regular theatre of hostilities. The paper makes the following deduc- tions, in substance from the state- ment: King Constantine announced to the zllies that permission to cross Greek territory was granted on the supposi- tion that the fighting was to be done in Serbia. It is the fault of the en- tente allies and not of Greece that ‘the allies have come too late and with insufficient forces and find no intact Serbian army to co-operate with. Greece must not suffer by reason of this. The retirement of the entente bdlng made in driving German troops from the trenches in the Souain Tegion Which the latter recently took. Explosion of a German munitions depot was caused by French artillery. Capture of the entire German army division on the eastern forces must occur under the same conditions as their advance, namely, not to tarry on Greek soil.

Turks Claim Advance. An advance by the Turks on Aden, in southern Arabia close to the line of Suez Capal traffic, is reported by | the Constantinople war office. Three British labor organizations, membership in which aggregate about two million men, have formed an al- liance for offensive or defensive ac- tion in matters respecting wages and conditions of war. French Decimated Bulgarians, Athens, Dec. 8, Via Paris, Dec. 9, 5:15 a. m.—There has been severe fighting on the French front during the past twenty-four hours, according to press despatches from Saloniki. The Bulgarians are said to have made no impression on the French lines in the Dociran-Demirkaton sec- tion. The accurate fire of the entente artillery decimated the Bulgarians. According to news from other sources the Bulgarians are concentrating con- eiderable forces in the Strumitza re- gion. < 220,000 Serbians in Albania.

Trench counter attacks near Souain continue to drive the Germans back. The Germans here hold only a por- tion of the advance trenches. British Submarine Sunk. Paris b French war office this afternoon gave out a report on the progress of hos- ilities on the Gallipoli Peninsula which reads as follows: “On the 5th of December acke made by the enemy pletely checked by the ecember Gth was characterized by fn effective fire from our trench guns, hich made a breach in the lines of he enemy and caused the explosion bt a3 Turkish depot of munitions.

Greece also will insure an unhampered re- embarking for the expedition. If this guarantee is rejected Greece will use its army to protect the re-embarka- tion. The Vossische Zeitung says it finds this standpoint of the King clear and justified. The paper expresses the belief, further, that the King, in view of the retreat of the Anglo-French cxpedition, must have adopted also a decision for the contingency - that the entente troops after a retreat be- yond the frontier might attempt to {ake a defensive position there. That the allied troops cannot ex- Fect protection from the Greek army there is certain, says the paper. The question whether this retirement is unimportant. The allies in this con- tingency may look for intervention by the Greek army, not for but against the expeditionary troops. AUTO AND HORAE COLLIDE.

Christ, Seeking Co-operation for Peace League WOULD PREVENT ALL WARS —_— Urges That Local Body Lend Support to Establishment of World Court to Which Shall Pass on Judicial Ques- | tions Arising Between Nations. i President E. W. Christ of the! Chamber of Commerce has received a letter from ex-President William H. Taft, head of the League to Enforce Peace, in which the writer asks the assistance of the organization in pro- moting the policies of the league in its endeavor to further peace among all countries. President Christ is in- | vestigating the matter thoroughly agd will probably join in the league later. Arguing that the recurrence of such | a conflict as now rages in Europe | ought if possible to be prevented, Mr. | Taft, in his letter urges the members of the Chamber to co-operate in an effort to mould public opinion both | in this country and abroad, in favor of a league of the great powers, who shall agree not to go to war in any case, until the question has been passed upon judicially, the nations agreeing also to use their joint mili- tary and economic forces against any nation refusing to keep the pact. Mr. Taft refers particularly to the referendum of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States of Amer- ica on the report of that body’s spe- cial committee on *“Economic Results of the War and American Business | This referendum will come up shortiy for consideration of the part of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Taft's Letter. Mr. Taft’s request is made at this time, it was explained, in view of the fact that the referendum in question outlines 4 plan for world peace, al- most identical with that contained ia the proposals of the League to En- force Peace, which was organized b: Mr. Taft, President A. Lawrenc Lowell of Harvard University, and other men of nation wide prominence at Philadelphia in Independence hall, last June. Mr. Taft who is the pr ident of the league, writes as follow “The friendly reference made to the platform of the League to Enforce Peace on page four of Referendum No. 11 of the Chamber of Commerce | of the United States of America seems to the officers of the League to create a natural occasion for calling it to vour personal attention, and to that of your members. “At the same time I want to extend a very cordial invitation to you, and through you to the members of your organization, to join the league and to co-operate with it is actively as you are able in the organization that is about to be undertaken in your state. “The irremediable injury that would result to the whole world in case a way should be found, at the close of the European conflict, to make war les threatening and to render it less frequent, has induced a considerable number of leaders in the realms both of statesmanship and of business to combine in an effort to create senti- ment in our own and other coun- tries, in favor of the proposals that were put forward at the Philadelphia conference. “The obvious and urgent need that | led the committee of the Chamber to draw up its admirable report, and the Board of Directors to authorize its submission, is an eloquent argu- ment in favor of a combined effort to do all which human ingenuity and devotion can, to prevent the recur- rence of such a catastrophe as the world is now experiencing.” Pland Of League. The proposals of the League to Enforce Peace, referred to in Mr. Taft’s communication, which wero adopted at the Indianapolis Hall meet- ing are: i That the United States join a league | of nations, who shall agree as follow- ing: 1. The establishment of an inter- | national tribunal or world court, which shall pass on all justiciable questions arising between nations. 2. The establishment of an inter- national tribunal to be known as a council of conciliation which shall pass on all non-justiciable questions, that is, questions which cannot be set- tled in accordance with the principles of law and equity. 3. The signatory powers forthwith their joint Economic and Military Forces against any nation which has joined the league, but which goes to war, or begins acts cf | hostility against another of the sig-| natories, without first submitting its . quarrel to a court or board of arbi- trators, as provided in sections one and two. 4. The adoption of a code of in- ternational law through a series of international conferences. The Independence Hall proposals contain no provision for enforcing the verdict of the arbitrators.

DEEP MYSTERY AT P. & F. CORBIN’S “Naughty, Naughty,” Says Guardian Of Door to Sccret Room When Employes Approach. Despite emphatic denials from Charles B. Parsons, general manager of P. & F. Corbin’s, it is persistently stated that that concern has re- ceived a large war order. Considerable mystery exists con- cerning a room in the old Corbin Motor Vehicle Corporation plant, which is now in control of P. & F. Corbin's. For the past few days in- quisitive employes have heen “shooed’” away from the room and some of ! them ‘have been informed that they | must keep away if they wish to retain their jobs. They are instructed that no one, without special permission, can enter the room but are given no information concerning wkat is going | on in there. This fact is established | and stands in the face of the denials | of all the factory officials in the state of Connecticut. Machinery, the use of whaich is be- ing kept a dark secret, has been stalled in his room of mystery, some saying that its cost is as high as $100,000. Whether it ig true, as ru- mored, that P. & F. Corbin is to make munitions of war cannot be learned from any of the officials, who are as | loquacious and talkative as usual. Within the past few days the stock of the American Hardware Corpor- ation advanced several points on the been secured by P. & F. Corbin When informed of this fact today Mr. Parsons appeared to be surprised, stating that he was not aware the stock had had a rise.

In the notice it is stated that younsg Thureson was operating a printing press at the Prevocational school ou November 5 at 11:30 a. m., having been instructer to do some printing by Harold E. Dempsey, the instructor. The press on which he was working could be operated either by foot or electricity but Thureson claims he | was ordered by Mr. Dempsey to use | by in- J. Danberg Sheriff A, as quickly as possible as he was on a “rush job.” Thureson had never be- fore operated the press by electricity and was not familiar with this met- od. While trying to extricate some papers which were fastened in the | press, his right hand was caught when another boy, William Tanquid, younger than the plaintiff, started the power. The index finger on ! Thureson’s right hand was crushed | and amputation will probably he | necessary. His second finger was | smashed, also. Tt is alleged that the city was neg- ligent ‘“‘in permitting children of the plaintiff’'s age to work at machinery of such a dangerous character with- out being under the immediate su- pervision of the instructor and while so inexperienced in the operation of | the machine by electric power and also negligent in that the plaintiff was told to hasten the work unduly while so inexperienced.” Thureson claims that the city was receiving compensation for the work he was doing.
