VOL. LVIL—NO. 292 — NORWICH, CONN., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1915 IAN Are Still Offering Stern Resistance to the Austro- German and Bulgarian Invaders BULGARS HAVE HALTED MARCH ON MONASTIR Austro-Germans ArelDetu'mined to Drive Not Only the Serbians and Montenegrins, But the French and British Troops Out of the Balkans—Rumania Has Refused German Request to Open the Danube River to Send Siprlies & Bulgaria™ and Tarkey ~ Fehtous' Anxioke Over Pro-Ally Attitude of Rumania—Turks Are Show- +ing Activity in Gallipoli—Only Artillery is in Action on the Other Fronts. Londow, 'Nov. 2§, 10 p. m. — The greater portion of what remains of the Serbian northern army is believed to have crossed into the mountains of Albania and Montenegro, where the Serbians are continuing, with the aid of King Nicholas' troops and supplies which are reaching them from the Ad- riatic, to offer stern resistance to the Austrian-German and Bulgarian in- vaders. Like the Belgians, however, the Berblans hold only a fringe of their country, which widens as it reaches the northwestern corner of which Monastir is the center. Bulgarians Halt March on Monastir. For some reason, variously explain- ed, the Bulgarians have halted their march on that city. It is said in some despatches that, having re-o cupled part of Macedonia largely in- habited by their fellow nationals, the Bulgarian government and people are disinclined to push any farther west and on this point are in disagreement with their Austro-German allies, who are determined to drive not only the BSerblans and Montenégrins, but the French and British troops out of the Balkans. Severe Winter Weather. Whils at the present time shey have largely superior forces, the task may prove difiieult. ‘Winter has set in unusually early and the natives pre- dict that it will be severe. Snow fell at Saloniki Saturday for the first time in eight years, which is taken as a sign that in the mountains of the pen- insula there will be a very heavy fall During the latter part of the week al- | most continuous storms compelled the suspension_of operations, giving the French ond British time fo bring up reinforcements, which are being land- ed at Saloniki daily and consolidate | their positions. Rumania Refused to Open Danube. The Austro-Germans have also had | to divert part of their armies down| the Danube to the Rumanian border, | Rumania having refused the German | request ofr the opening of the Danube | throughout its length to enabie the Germans to send supplies to Bulgaria | and Turkey. Rumania insisted_that | armed ships must not pass Baba, | which is on the Danube at the Ru- manian-Bulgarian frontier. Rumania More Pro-Ally, With the concentration of the Rus- | sians, too, the attitude of Rumania is | becoming daily more pro-ally and_the Austro-Germans, having aided Bul- | garia in her campaign against Serbia, | which is now cleared, is called upon | to protect her against aggression from the east. 5 Russian Warships Off Bulgaria. Russlan warships, including new dreadnoughts, bave again been seen off the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, but there is no news of any landing or movement of troops. Artillery East and West. On both the eastern and western fronts the artillery, as was the case iast winter, is doing the heaviest part of the wark and it appears doubtful whether either side will attempt an offensive for the present. Italy on the other hand, undeterred by winter, is pushing her offensive and rendering’ the Austrian hold on Gor- izia and Roverto daily more uncertain. Turks Showing Activity. The Turks have again been show- ing_some activity in Gallipoli and claim minor success against the allies. However, no big action has been fought. German Anxiety Over Rumania. German anxiety over Rumania is matched by that of the allied powers with to Greece. Last week it was believed tat all difficulties be- tween Greece and the allies had been surmounted but it was found neces- sary to send another note to Greece, the reply to which is promised Mon- The allies rpw demand not y assurance of the safety of thelr troops, but adequate railway facilities for their transportation, the withdraw- al of Green troops from the vicinity of Saloniki and the policing of Greek wa- ters against German submarines. 13 VESSELS SUNK BY GERMAN SUBMARINES IN MEDITERRANEAN With a total Tonnage of 112,082 Tons Up to Date.

Basle, Switzerland, via Paris, Nov. 28, 430 p. m—Mr. Lesley, an Amer- ican citizen, and several other for- eigners, were killed by Turks at Urfa, Mesopotamia, while trying to defend Armenians from the Turks, according to a story printed today in the news- paper Nouvelles De Basle.

The object of these operations—the “opening of communications with Bul- garla and the Turkish empire—has been accomplished, it is asserted. Tribute is paid not only to the bravery and endurance of the Austro- German troops, but to the Serbians as well. The claim is made that more than 100,000 prisoners, nearly 50 per cent. of the Serbian effectives, have been captured. German losses are said to have been “extremely moderate” and there were no epidemics of disease, GERMAN ATTACK NORTH OF THE LABYRINTH Following the Expl Paris, Nov. 28, 240 p. m—A Ger- man attack north of the “Labyrinth,” following the explosion of a mine, was repulsed after violent fighting, ac- cording to the statement issued by the war office tonight.

PRESIDENT AND FIANCEE SPEND DAY IN NEW YORK. Mrs. Galt to Remain Over to Complete Her Trousseau. New York, Nov. 28.—President Wil- son spent today quietly in New York, visiting his flancee, Mrs. Norman Galt. He planned to leave shortly after mid- night in order to arrive in Washington early tomorrow in order to complete his annual message to congress, Which he will read Dec. 7. Mrs. Galt has decided to remain over here to complete her trousseau for her wedding next month. Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the president’s cousin, will stay with her, and they will be guests of Miss Gertrude Gordon, Mrs. Galt's intimate friend, for several days. The president left the home of Col. E. M. House, where he spent last night, before 10 this morning, called for Mrs. ! Galt, and motored with her to the Fifth avenue Presbyterian church. Secre- tary Lansing of the state department and Secretary Daniels of the navy, both of whom remained over here af- ter seeing the Army-Navy game ye: terday, were also in the congregation. The clersyman prayed that the presi dent be given divine guidance in direct ing the affairs of the nation in the present perilous times. After the ser- vice, the congregation was asked to remain seated until the president and Mrs. Galt departed. The president had lunch with Mrs. Galt, Miss Bones and Dr. Cary C. Grayson, his naval aide, and afterwards called on his sister, Mrs. Anna Bowe, at her hotel. Outside the hotel a man who pushed forward towards the president was seized by a city detective and detained | until Mr. Wilson had entered his auto- mobile. ‘The detectives were convinced that the man was merely curfous. For more than an hour the president and Mrs. Galt motored along Riverside Drive. They leaned out of their auto- mobile to look at a long line of battle- ships moored along the Hudson river. The action ‘of city detectives in pre- venting any automobiles from passing | the president soon called attention to ! him, and he was followed by a long line of fachines. At the conclusion of the drive Mrs. Galt went to Miss Gor- don’s home and Mr. Wilson went to the home of Col. E. M. House. Later the president called on Mrs. Galt be- fore leaving for his train i T. ST. JOHN GAFFNEY ARRIVES IN NEW YORK Is Going to Washington to Face the Charges Made Against Him. New York, Nov. 28.—T. St John Gaffney, until recently consul-general of the United States at Munich, ar- rived here today on the steamship Os- car II, from Copenhagen. Mr. Gaffney said that he would go to Washington Monday or Tuesday to take up the charges against him with the state de- partment. Of these charges he sald he was officially ignorant. In a written state- ment given out by him on his arrival here, he said he was attacked in his absence 3,500 miles away, condemned without a hearing and his resigpation asked. The statement in part fol- lows: Mr. Gaffney thinks the trouble start- ed with a story which the Morning Post of London printed August 12, based on a wire from its correspon- dent in Berne to the effect that he had been rude to Americans and British in Munich. Fleet Street correspondents cabled to papers in New York, one of which also printed that a New York Irishman attempted to send a secret letter to him by the Austrian consul- general. “Mr. Gaffney sald that, as far as he can classify them, the attacks are: “Rudeness to Americans and British in_Munich, “Smuggling a secret letter. “Commending Berlin paper which attacked Wilson, “Dining Sir Roker Casement. “Approving nawspaper attack on Bryan.” He says that if these are not the charges on flle at the state depart- ment, he cannot even conjecture what the charges are.

Flew British Flag. The Barulos, according to Mrs. Egan, who is a writer returning from a six months' trip through southern Europe, left Piraeus for Alexandria on October 2. While the ship'flew the Eritish flag her crew was Greek, the passengers of whom a majority was third class, being chiefly Greeks and Orientals. 'When about five hours south of Crete, the ship picked up three boats containing the crew of the British steamship Sailor Prince which had been sunk by a submarine a few hours previous. Carried Only Four Lifeboats. The Barulos, Mrs. Egan said, car- ried only four lifeboats, each with a capacity for thirty people. The re: cue of the crew of the Sailor Prin created excitement which was at fev er heat when suddenly a submarine icame to the surface about two miles distant and fired a shot over the Barulos, evidently as a signal for | her to stop. Wild Panic Broke Loose. “Instantiy a wild panic broke loose,” said Mrs. Egan. “The four lifeboats of the Barui.os were resting in their | chocks, while swung aiongside were ! the boats in which the men from the Sailor Prince had made their escape. | Rushed for the Boats. | “Led by the crew and the fire-room | force, the passengers rushed for the, zoat: Women, unable to bet to the boats, threw their children into the sea and jumped after them.

Forced Over the Side. “l was at the rail when the sub- {marine appeared and I started back toward the stairs leading below with | the idea of helping to quell the panic. 1 was caught in the rush and literally forced over the side into the sea. I had a hard time to keep above the water, my difficulties being aggravat- ed b the struggles of others trying to catch hold of me. “We Are Not Murderers.” “It seemed that 1 had no sooner struck the wWater than the submarine appeared under the bows of our ship. On her deck I saw a number of men with an officer who I took to be an Austrian. The submarine had her collapsible lifeboat out and the sub- marine crew were pulling people out of the water onto her deck. The of- ficer was holding up his hands, shout- ing to the people in the water to be calm. I heard him say in _perfect English: ‘For God's sake, go back to your ship, we are not murderers!” Called for Help. “By this time 1 had worked my way some distance from the ship and see- i ngone of the lifeboats near I held up my hand and called for hel. The people in the boat responded and, aft- er a second attempt, succeeded in throwing a line to me when 1 was all but exhausted. Twenty-five Were Missing. “The first of the panic over, we rowed back to the Barulos and were taken aboard. Women and children, many in a half drowned state, wers crowding the deck of the submarine, whihh remained alongside. When ali the rescued were returned to the Barulos toll showed that 25 were found to be miss, 14 children, seven women and four men. Many Wounded in Panic. “In additlon to the 25 drowned many were wounded in the panic; several of the most serious were tak- en into the submarine and treated by our ship doctor, who went aboard at the invitation of the submarine com- mander. Humane Submarine Commander. “Only one shot was fired by the submarine. She remained alongside for five hours, or until all possible rescues had been made and the wounded had been ~attended. She then gdisappeared and we proceded "to Alexandria without further incident. 1 did not learn her name or designat- ing number, but she was one of the largest boafs of her kind I have ever seen. “The captain of the Sailor Prince told me that he recognized her as the same one that had sunk his shin some hours previous, although at that time, he said, she Lew colors.
