DR. GORICAR TELLING TALES WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Pub- lished charges, attributed to Dr. Jos- oph Goricar, former Austro-Hun- garian consul at San Francisco, that Austrian consuls {n the United States working under the direction of Con- sul General Von Nuber and Count Von Bernstorft, the German ambas- sador, are active in propaganda for | destruction of munitions factories and fomenting strikes among the workers will be referred by the State department to the Department of Justice for investigation. The Austrian embassy here denounced Goricar's published statement as untrue in every particslar, and announced it would try to find some way to prosscute him for it. Goricar, the embassy said, left his post on leave and falled to re- turn. Secretary Lansing today declined to comment on the charges. Gorlea Charges Specific. The Department of Justice has & good deal of information on hand regarding| the activities of Consul General von Nu- ber, which it gathered while investigat- ing his connection with the case of Dr, Dumba, the recalled Austrian ambassa- dor, but so far has nothing definite on the charges attributed to Dr. Gorlear. In substance Gorlear is accredited with mak- ing the statement that he resigned his | Post after fifteen years in the Austrian| consular service because he declined to perform the work of & spy. He charges that whie consul at S8an Franclsco, Com- mander Maximilian Burstyn, the Austrian naval attache at Washington, ordered him to gather plans of the fortifications of San Francisco harbor and along the Pacific coast, and to get especlally de- tails of the works at Bremerton navy yard. “When he refused, Goricar is ac- credited with saying, he was transferred | to Berlin, where, after five months, he | was ordered to proceed to Vienna, which | he feared to do, because of his pro-slavic | he resigned last December. Munition Workers Tampered With, Goricar's story contends that the Ger- man ambassador, working with Von Nuber, is in touch with the Austrian con- suls at Cleveland, St. Louls, Pittsburgh, St. Paul, Chicago and Philadelphia, who, spread propaganda among the forelgn | workers In the munitions factories, and | such activity, Goricar alleges, extends| even to controlling the forelgners through fraternal and secret organiza- tions. The alleged extent of the activities of the Austrian consuls and the so-called spy system aro described at'length in Gorlcar's published statement. Goricar's burgh, Denver, and finally San l'\-ln-' cisco, where he served three years. Locked Up at London| LONDON, Nov. 12.—John Wesley De Kay of New York was remanded in the | Bow street police court today on the charge, it is alleged by the police, of fraud in France in connection with the supply of rifles to the Belglan govern- ment. Bail was not allowed. John Wesley De Kay was born near New Hampton, Ia., is an author and is | a member of several New York and Bos- | ton clubs, For some time he headed the Mexican National Packing company, | which was operated under concessions | by a former government of Mexico. In the spring of 1914 he went to Europe on | a mission to purchase arms and ammuni- tlon for the government of provisional President Huerta. PEACE CONFERENCE SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 12.-Dr. J. E. Gardner, Chinese inspector and in- terpreter at this port for thirty-two years, whose gnation yesterday was offered and accepted at Washington, charged today that the influence of Wong Doo King, a powerful Chinese, re- cently departed, cost him his position. Dr. Gardner resigned rather than ac- cept transfer to Gloucester, N. J., which he said is an unimportant post. . “The boast was made by Chiness year ago that I would be demiotéd or transferred for my work in the Wong Doo King case,” Dr. Gardner sald today. “Friends of Wong Doo King asked me WILL BE HELD 500N Dr. Jordan Discusses Move for Quasi-Official Meeting of Neu- trals with President. FIRST SESSION AT BERNE DEC. 14 WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—David 8tarr Jordan, chancellor of Leland- Stanford university and head of the International Peace congress, re- cently held in San Francisco, told TFresident Wilson today that a quasi cfficial meeting of neutral nations probably will be held some time be- fore Christmas, either at The Hague, Eerne or Copenhagen, to attempt to bring about peace in Europe. Dr, Jordan conveyed to the presi- dent a resolution from the peace congress urging him to co-operate with other neutrals in calling such a conference, In a statement lald before the president by Dr. Jordan it was declared that as a result of recent missions to the govern- ments of the warring nations it could be stated that while the nations at war were 1lling themselves to begin negotiations for peace “there s nevertheless abun- dant evidence that those charged with the administration of the foreign policies of these nations would welcome, or at least not oppose, affirmative action by a neutral agency to bring about a peace based on international jystice.” Five Nations Wil Participate. Dr. Jordan sald that while no official information was avallable peage advo- cates had learned from unofficial sources in Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, Den- mark and Epain that those countries would be glad to take part in any move- ment to further the cause of peace. Dr. Jordan was accompanied by Louls P, Lochner, secretary of the Chicago Peace soclety, and who acted as secretary to Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chi- cago, when she visited Burope as a rep- resentative of the Women's Peace con- (Continued on Page Two, Column One.)

FRENCH WIN BATTLE AT VELES There s grave reason to fear that the main body of the Serglan army, vhich has been righting the Ger- man’'s and the Bulgarian's right wing, has been cut off between Kra- llevo and Nish, says dispatches re- ceived here from the Secolo’s corre- | spondent. It 1s possible, the first dispatches | say, that as the Serblan army is hold- ing at Katchinak, the retreating col- umns may escape the tentacles of the {nvaders, but it is considered Il!"' nificant that no news has been re- | celved from the retreating Serbilan army for five days.

CABINET NOW FREE TO ACT éBelief that Future Course of Gov« ernment Wil] Be Based Entirely on Military Considerations, SITUATION IS UP TO THE ALLIES LONDON, Nov. 12.—All doubts as to what road Greece would choose out of the muddle caused by the divergent views of its political lead- lors and as to how the policies of the Skouloudis cabinet could be rendered compatible with the opinions of the adverse majority in the Chamber to- day were dispelled by a public disso- lution of the Chamber of Deputies. Publication of the decree appar- ontly was received in Athens with calm despite the fact that all ele- ments hoped to avold elections at the jpresent difficult moment. ‘The Greek government, it appears, con- sidered dissolution the only possible means of securing for itself full and unrestricted liberty of action.
