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

Heretofore Americana whoso car

Since the United Slates does not

LONDON', Nov. 8. 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
