Tins l.ffe-l note, delivered liv Am linsmulor Page to tho llritish foreign office, is an exhaustive document dcnliny with England's inlerference with American Initio since tho out Ureal; of tho war. In effect, it is a coiniiiunicatifiii nlso to France, which has followed iter ally in the treatment of overseas ooiPin'reo, as a copy was presented to tho French embassy here. Thirty-five Points Tivatcil Thirty-live points are (.rented in the note, and, in conclusion, Secre tary Lansing declares that the United States "cannot with complacence suf fer -tiborduiatioii of its rights and in (oicms to the plea that the ocep tiimal geographic position of the ene mies of Ureal Itritoin require or ju- tif oppressive anil illegal iractiees." The relations between the I niteil Slates ami Hreat llntiiin, ho says, must be governed not by expediency, but by established rule of interna tional conduct; it w of tho highest importance to neutrals not only of tho pi (-sent day, but of tho fiiliire, thai the principles of international light be n'tiinlnincd unimiMiircd mid the United Slut" unhesitatingly assume the tusk of ohninpinniiitf the right of neutrals.

The French are continuing to press their advance into Hulgntia northeast of Stmaiitsa, a Hiitiih con'ingent aiding them, n Saloniki dispatch states, but difficul ties of the terrain nuiko tlej progress "low. Likewise, Paris advices de clare, the French forces arc following n their successes north of l'rilip, where a junction with the Serbians on the JJnbuun ranc in said to be immi nent. On Ihe extromo west of Ihe llnlkan front tho Montenegrins claim to be holding 'the AiislriaiiH near Uraiiavo, inflicting severe losses upon them in desperate battles. Ituuiaiila (o Imj Neutral Tho intention of Itumania to remain neutral at least for tho present is em phasized iit dispatches from lhichar est. AM members of parliament, ".villi whom Premier Drniinno Iins consult ed, have told him thoy consider tho government's course so far correct, it is declared. Decidedly energetic action by the entente allies to open up communications in tlio Italknus will bo necessary to move, liiiinnnia in their favor, the advices indicate. On the Ua'lipoli peninsula tho Turks claim that their artillery successfully attacked another iilli.'d transport and a torpedo boat, set tint: the transport on fire. An attack on the Turkish lines near deddu! Uuhr was repulsed, il is deeiurcd. Kiviicli in lliilgai'hi No offieinl confirmation lias boon received, however, of a decisive de feat of tho Bulgarians who are at tempting In advance into Macedonia through llnhiinu irons. South of Stnimitsn the French arc fighting on Iltilirannu soil. The criis occasioned by the resig nation of the (Jrock cabinet has been nut temporarily, and if the chamber of deputie accepts tho new Sknulnii dis ministry the present status may be continued indefinitely, with no change in the announced policy t Ureece now joiteruted, of benevolent neutrality. Invaders United The fall of Xifh bns united xolidly tho main lliilgurinu forces and Die Aiistro-fierninn armies advancing from the north. Hitherto their com munications eonsisled merely of ten tative reaching out of advance guards. The Bulgarians and their allies now hold considerably more than half of Sorbin, and command tho XUh rail way, which has been one of the chief objoetivos of their enmpaipn. From Xisli tliu Itulgniiau lino now runs north in a slight curve, encircling the Minimi river lo Kiivivir, whero it joins tho main Austro-Oormau forcos. From that point tho invaders' lino turns at a right nu.do and runs due wc-t across the blondest part of Ser bia. TOKIO, Nov. 8.
