Carneg WOMAN INTERRUPTED WASHINGTON EXERCISES ALLIED ARMIES IN SALONIKI ARE BEING REINFORCED To Push the Offensive Which Had Been Planned for Last Spring. Resented Censure of Germany by.Pres- ident Schurman of Cornell. Philadelphia, Feb. 22.—The Wash- ington Birthday exercises of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, at the Aca- demy of Music today were disturbed by a fashionably gowned elderly wo- man who shouted from a box “How {about England?” when President Ja-, cob G. Schurman of Cornell Univer- sity, in the course of an address, said that Germany had violated the law of nations. Dr. Schurman paused in the middle of a sentence, glanced at the ques- tioner but made no reply and proceed- ed with his address. There was scat- tered handclapping. Ushers hastened to the box and the woman immediatsly left with another woman. In the lobby of the academy she denounced England and sald it was a crime for people to sit silent and listen to “such rot as that man was speaking.’ The university for one hundred years has annually observed the anniversary of Washington’s hirth, President Schurman, the orator of the day, spoke on Washington, Then and Now. The keynote of his address was that after a century and a quarter Washington still remains the pole star of American policy and that the example of Wash- ington ie inspiring Lo Americans to- day. - NO PUBLIC OFFICIALS RESPONSIBLE FOR “LEAK” House Rules Committes is So to Re- port Saturday. ‘Washington, Feb. 22—The house rules committee today decided to re- port that its investigation of an al- leged “leak” on President Wilson’s peace note had shown that no public officials were responsible for any ad- vance information in ing public.

SOLD TO GREAT BRITAIN Is to be Converted Into a Cruiser—One of the Largest Yachts Afloat. evening Saloniki, Jan. 26.—(Staff Corres- pondence of The Associated Press.) ew troops, especially large Italian contingents, are arriving every few days in Saloniki, to reinforce the al- lied armies. The talk here is zeneral of pushing through this spring the of- fensive planned for last spring, which the German attack on Verdun pre- vented. No well informed allied officer in the Macedonian theatre of war expects any serious attack upon Saloniki by the Germans. Danger of attack from the south by the Greeks was never taken very seriously by the military experts. As the Greek army is now in the Peloponessus, where the entente fleet guards the isthmus of Corinth. the only means by which the Greek forces could march northward—an at- tack by King Constantine’s soldiers s removed from the list of possibilities. In view of these circumstances, the continued arrival of important rein- forcements in Macedonia 1is taken through Greece to indicate prepara- tion for an early offencive destined to cut the German line of communications from Berlin to Constantinople. In Macedonia today there are rough- 1y about 80,000 French, 100,000 British, 10,000 Russian, some 80,000 Serbians and perhaps £0,000 Italians, countinz the latest arrivals, a total of about 350,000 fighting men. To this number may be added three regiments of Greeks. constituting the Venizelist ar- my. Many of the latter, however, are recruited from refugees from Thrace and Asia Minor and have not yet com- pleted their training in arms. General Sarrail has frequently stated that he considers half a million men would be required before active oper- ations can begin in Macedonia. There are, therefore, 150,000 bayonets still to come before an offensive can be undertaken with fair prospect of suc- cess. of to Hartford, Yonkers and New O. J.
