Private Dispatches From Us

ITALIAN PEOPLE RESTLESS
Want Government to Pight on Sid of

tlons Continued Sally.
Br Alice Rohe, United Press Staff
Correspondent.
Rome, March 17. Private advices
-from Uskub today Indicated that the
Serbians are massing- troops In the
direction of the Albanian frontier.
With the object of retaining access
to, the Adriatic, which she has already
gained, Serbia is reported to be deter
mined to invade Albania? suddenly and
seize the dominating place in - that
newly created country.
Simultaneously cam the ominous
report from Balonica that important
Bulgarian movements have been ob
served as taking place in the direction
of the Turko-Bulgarian frontier. These
Indicate, sa the despatches, that the
Bulgarians are massing troops south
ward toward the Gulf of Saros.
Both of these movements, if con
f Irmed,"'would be of the highest sig
nificance to the Balkans. ' Serbia for
years has .coveted an . outlet to the
Adriatic, land Bulgaria wants to drive
Turkey entirely out of . Europe and
gain the commanding place among -the
Balkan states.-
Balonica and Uskub have been "ru
mor factories" since the outset of the
war, however, and. for that reason the
reports are not given very serious"
consideration, except as indicating
further unrest in.- the Balkan coun
tries. Meanwhile the agitation in favor of
Italy casting her lot with the alliens
continues. The feeling against Aus
tria undoubtedly is growing, especially
in the northern provinces near the
Austrian frontier. Anti-Austrian
demonstrations were again reported
today from a number of Italian cities
High officials of the government in
sist, nevertheless, that there is no
cause for alarm, and no danger that
a .change in Italy's determination to
"remain neutral will be forced.
The negotiations started by Prince
von Bueiow, the German ambassador,
to persuade Austria voluntarily to
eede territory to Italy in return for
Italy's neutrality, continues.

With the statement that there was
not sufficient evidence to hold the
; youths on the attempted assault
charge, Municipal Judge Stevenson yes-
' terday dismissed the statutory charges
against Raymond Coomers and Clifford
Stokes, Jitney drivers, who were in

and simple Joyride and that the woman
was much to blame for consenting to
go on a ride with strangers.

Dresden Outside
Of Neutral Zone
Commander of Auxiliary . Cruiser Ora
m Says location of German
' Hoik
Will Disprove Sentrality Violation.
Valparaiso, March 17. German as
sertions that the cruiser Dresden was
in : neutral waters when a British
squadron sent her to the bottom Sun
day, were denled today by Lieutenant
Commander Fielding of tha jBritish
auxiliary cruiser Orama, on , of the
ships which attacked the vessel '
"The story that the Dresdejn sank
in Chilean waters is nonsense," he
said. "It can be disproved readily by
locating her r-ulk. '
Our squadron first sighted thje Dres
den 12 miles of r Juan Fernandas
island. The cruiser Glasgow, our
fastest vessel, led in the chasje, with
the cruiser Kent and the Orahia fol
lowing. The Glasgow . opened fire at
short range. She had fired several
shots .before the Dresden's guns got
into action.
"At that time the Dresden was run
ning toward the coast and the Kent
swung n to head her off. Betore the
Kent opened fire, however, the Ger
man's upper works were in flames.
The Kent fired about half 4 doasen
shots, all finding their mark, and
then the enemy ran up the white flag.
"We stood by to take off the crew,
and immediately afterward there was
a terrific explosion as the magazine
blew up and the Dresden plunged
downward and disappeared."
Chilean newspapers united in the
claim that both the British and Ger
man ships violated Chilean -neutrality.
According to the press of Valparaiso
and Santiago, the Dresden approached
the Chilean coast March 10 to make
repairs. She was less 'than 40p yards
from the surfline, the Chilean Newspa
pers allege, when she was fired upon
by the British squadron. i
Wounded German sailors in hospit
als here denied their ship was sunk
by the enemy. Their- commandfer, they
asserted, realized that, his ship! was in
no condition to give battle, and or
dered her magazines exploded when
he was attacked. m '
