Desperate British Harry Toward Monasi
Athens, Nov. IS. In unmistakable
terms, Denys Cof'hin, French cabinet
member, toay informed King Constan
tine concerning the allies' terms toward
Greece.
lie tol.l the king wlint the allies of
fer for pawing co-operation in the Bal
kan situation, what they will give (or
active aid, and how they will retaliate
if Greece joins the contrail powers, thus
endangering ominously the allied posi
tion. Cochin's conference with the, king
followed a discussion yesterday with
Premier Skouloudis, who upon assum
ing office, notified tho allies that
Greece would bo "benevolently neu
tral" toward them. After finishing
bis discussion with the king, Cochin will
probably go to Salonika.-
The least that tho allies insist on is
strict non-interference by Greece with
their progress; and strict guarantees
that Greece will not attempt to intern
the allies if they are driven back across
the Serb boundary into Grecian terri-i
, 'ry.
While Paris and London stated after
Greece refused the. allied proffer of tho
Inland of Cyprus for her aid that the
offer would not bo renewed, it is be
lieved now, however, that the allies re
gard Greek assistance as so valuable
that the offer will bo made again if
Constnntlne is inclined to nccopt.
Karl Kitchener is expected hero be
fore Cochin finally departs.
Authorities pointed out today that,
judging from the cordiality with which
the populace greeted Cochin, tho gener
al public, is for the allies. Whether the
king will run counter to this apparent
public sentiment, however, is still in
doubt.

Condition Is Desperate,
Amsterdam, Nov. 18.The situation
of beleaguered Serbia is desperate to
day. Both her northern and southern
armies are In danger of capture. The
best she can hope for Is a clvance to
abandon the nation to its Invaders.
There Is a possibility that tho north
ern army can Rive the Austro-Germans
the slip and flee into Montenegro where
they would be welcomed. .
In the south, however, the outlet Is
ut OchriJa in the southwestern corner
of Scrbifl. From there, perhaps, the
Serbs will make their way into Albania,
but even go, they are likely to receive
a hostile reception, while if they fled
into Greece, they probably would bo
interned.
Kvcrvwhere the Austrians, Germans
and Hulgars ure rapidly completing
their work of clearing tho nation of its
defenders.
In the Bouth two "great events are
developing. A big battlo is brewing
about Striimnitzn near the Serb-Hul-gar
boundary, while Monastir apparent
ly enn hold out only a few hours more.
The Bulfjnr armies in force have
joined at Prilep and are sweeping to
ward Monastir, a comparatively short
march. Most of Monastir 'a population
tins fled. British troops are hurrying
to the relief of tho city, but it Is doubt
ful whether they will arrive in tiino to
prevent the phice from falling into tho

IN BALKAN AFFAIRS
England Issues Order Hold
ing Up Greek Snip
ing In General
By J. W. T. Mason.
(Written for the United Press.)
New York, Nov. 18 England's order
holding up Greek shipping inBritish
and French ports is the most serious
development in tho Balkan Bituntion
since Bulgaria entered the war. It is
cither an attempt forcibly to influence
Greek public opinion or is a prelim
inary defensive step due to a belief
that King Constantino intends to join
the central powers.
In principle, it is tho snme as a dec
laration of war, though Greece will not
consider it thus unless Kinir Constan
tino has definitely resolved to join his
brother-in-law, Kaiser Wilhelni.
The allied action may have the ef
fect of alienating the sympathy of
Oreek shippers and mnko the king more
stubborn, thus hurting the allies' cause
at a critical moment in the Balkan
situation. It iB probable, however, that
the allies intend to exert further tiros-
sure than this to swing Greeco into line
cirnor actively or passively on the at
lied side. The allies desire an unquali
fied guarantee at least that Greece will
permit them to rotrcnt into her terri
tory it such a course becomes neces
sary from the fortunes of war in the
Balkan theatre.
ino ruture outiooK ror tne allies in
this respect is not reassuring. The
king tluiB fnr has not shown anv mir
ticular optimistic signs that he will
graut this request. Furthermore, in the
position of a selfish neutral, Greece
does not trust retreating armies.
The shin order came at a time when
the allies are making strenuous efforts
through diplomatic channels, operating
directly with the king, to influence the
Greek nation. That this step may have
gone too far is a possibility, though the
additional pressnro through " Deny 's
Cnhin and perhaps Karl Aitchener muy
offset any dnmngo such a movo has

London, Nov. 18. Winston Churchill,
until recently the most criticised public
man In Knglnnd, left today for the
front to join his regiment, the Oxford
Yeomanry. Leaving behind a cabinet
position and en offer to join England's
war council, he noes to become an un
der officer on the west or u front.
England, however, looks with differ
ent eye on Churchill than it did when
he was first lord of the admiralty, for
oy uis recent scn in tne House or
commons he altered view as to his di
rection of England's naval affairs, and
by hi derision to fight in the west
made himself a hero.
A great crowd bade Churchill fare

FILES HER AFFIDAVIT
Cecile Greil Deposes Boats
of Liner Shelled After
Launching
Washington, Nov. IS. The affidavit
of Dr. Cecile Griel, American woman
survivor of the liner Ancona torpedoed
reached tho state department today.
Contradicting Austria's official
claims, the doctor declared that debark
ing passengers wcro shelled by tho Aus
trian submarine. She did not clear up,
however, the matter of the Ancona's
alleged flight.
Tho affidavit was obtained by an
American official at Marseilles sent to
the hospital at Bizertu to get her state
ment. Tho woman's statement was the
first authentic report from an Ameri
can source, definitely stating that the
passengers had been shelled ufter the
liner stopped. As such it left the ad
ministration no alternative but to make
a strong protest to Austria.
The summary of the affidavit as
cabled by Consul Mason, of Algiers,
said:
"Cccilo Grid, intelligent impartial
witness, deposition inconclusive wheth
er Ancona attempted escape. First in
timation dnnger when alio dining sa
loon. Disturbance deck, stoppage, fol
lowed shortly shock shook vessel.
"Her testimony proves bombardment
lasted 45 minutes, continued ufter ves

many. She saw torpedo; saw red, while
flag, six cannon on submarine.
"Knows nothing regarding other
Americans.
. "Information Algiers, Bizertadem
onstrntes 13 vessels submarined Novem
ber third to seventh from Gibraltar to
Ancona."
The description of tho flag givea by
Dr. Greil is that of the Austrian flag.
The fact that 13 ships have been sunk
in so brief a period may lead to com
plications, siince it may mean that Ger
man submarines were involved.
Secretary Will Act.
Washington, Nov. 18. Protests to
Austria over the torpedoing of the It
alian liner 'Ancona, with Americans
aboard, will bo made by this govern
ment ns a result of an affidavit from
Dr, Cecile Griel, Amoricaii, contradict
ing claims that her submarine com
mander did not shell survivors us they
took to the lifeboats.
The stato department announced that
I action on the case, however, would be
postponed until rurtner evidence nau
been received. It wns learned that the
principal point of tho forthcoming pro
test will be tho submnrino commander's
failure to insure the safety of Ancona
passengers.
Austria, Socrctary Lansingmadelt
claims, cannot excuse her action in tor
pedoing the liner merely on tho ground

did right when she consented to let uaturo take its course and allow her
buby to tlio. If their babies were to be born again, they would let
them die, they said.
"A doctor should let such a baby die without telling the mother it
could htivc lived," said Mrs. Anna bchwurtz, supporting an epileptic
daughter now 25 years old.
Tho parents would suffer Borne, but not like the deformed baby
does," said Mrs. lihoda Burke. " Wliou tho mother dies, there is none
to care for him." ; ,
Chicago, Nov. 18. Mrs. Anna Bol

Before night, the woman, who bore
this monstrosity six days ago and ac
quiesced in Dr. Huiseldvu's "death sen
tence," will know the tot has gone, if
her condition permits.
Passing tho night in fitful sleep, she
awakened at intervals to ask if the boy
was dead. Dostors and nurses kept
the news from her. They thought the
shock might prove too great in her
weakened condition, though the mother,
acquiescing in Dr. Hiiiselden's decision
to let nature take Its course, without
an operation to save the defective, real
ized that the end could bo but hours
away.
"1 am thankful it la over," said the
father in tears today. "I am thankful
for the child's sake alone. We wanted
him to live, but finally we realized
that it was only the selfishness of pa

"The railroad is ready and

address to the lund grunt con

"It can't be, Dunn."
As indicated nt the meeting this

volumes of hot air and provoked some

of the grant. In other words, the rail
road contended for every sinirlo point

Mr, Moody stated that tho railroad

GOVERNOR SPRY
Will Allow Hillstrom Execu
tion To Proceed Tomorrow
As Ordered
Salt Lake City, Utah. Nov. 18.
Govornor Spry wired President Wil
son this afternoon that he would not
stay the execution of Joe Hillstrom, I.
w. w., who is to be shot for double
murder, tomorrow, unless new evidence
was presented immediately.
During the forenoon, the governor
called a special exocutive session of tho
entire board.
Seven leading Utah democrats con
ferred with the governor during the
lay, ana disapproved or what tuey
called President Wilson's "unwar
ranted interference" in the case. They
endorsed the execution. ,
With this message, all hope for Hill
strom seemed eono. Preparations had
been made Tor sending him before the
tiring squad, tomorrow. The state a
gunmen are ready. None show signs of
weakening. If, nt the Inst moment,
anyone does waver, his place will be
filled bv a reserve gunman.
llo will be shot nt sunrise, unless the
mimculous happens. Every opportun
ity has been given for the condemned
man to present fresh testimony. None
nns been forthcoming. It seems likely
no more can bo presented between now
and dawn.
Tho president urged none in his re
quest. His lawyers, apparently fuiled
to gather from Hillstrom anything fur
ther to warrant delnv.
Without a clergyman, tho condemned
man will be led from the death chamber
out into the prison court yard. There
the death chair will be waiting. He
will bo blindfolded. Five muzzles will
point at him. At a signal all will
tiro. One ntlo will have a blank cart
ridge so that every executioner may
feel that perhaps he was not the one
who killed Hillstrom,
Only 'few persons will be permitted
to witness the execution.
Last Day on Earth.
What was probably Hillstrom 's last
day on earth was spent uudor a vigil
the state pardon board. . ;
Hillstrom slept better last niirht than
he had in weeks. The president 's re
quest seemed to buoy him to a new
hope, yet he declared: "I am ready to
die."
This morning, the warden lent him a
razor and he shaved himself.
"I'm not the kind to commit sui
cide," he commonted npropos of this
decision to break an unwritten rule in
every prison of the land. "I will 1
ready when they want to shoot me."
Wants No Spiritual Advice.
Hillstrom steadfastly refused to ac
cept a spiritual adviser or discuss re
ligion. To his counsel, he today bared the
story of bis life. Born in Joffn, Swed
en, he emigrated to America at the age
of 20, hoping to join his brotftor, Carl
Strom. When ho failed to find the lat
ter, Hillstrom turncfl wostwnrd. There

he had done a 30 day "jolt" for vng

Utah mines. Then ho came here, and
was arrested on the double murder
charge while he was visiting friends.
