KITCHJENBE'S ANSWER
Rotterdam, Nov. 22. A tre
mendous offensive in the Dar
danelles has been undertaken
by he allies, according to a
Constantinople dispatch today.
This move is regarded as Earl
Kitchener's answer to sugges
tions that the Dardanelles strug
glo be abandoned. The London
war council decided not to act
on theso suggestions until Kiteh-
ener had personally visited that
region and this big move is be-
lieved to indicate Kitchener's
decision.
Zurich, Switzerland, Nov. 22 With
bayonets, and even knives, a hand to
band struggle for possession of the Do
liedro plateau is being fought between
Italian and Austrian troops.
' Grenade attacks marked tlio bcginnig
of tlio Italian onslaught, which now
centers at the Goritz bridgehead. De
termined to capturo the town, the Ital
ians are deluging the Austrians with
nhells of many calibres. Many of t lie
defenses of the city have crumbled.
'. Italian infantry attacks occur daily.
Homctimes several of these are staged
in a single day despite terrible weather.
The Italians advance a few yards nt a

ing overhead clears the nay for fresh
charges.
Losses on both sides are enormous.
Many soldiers have fallen exhausted.

Several arrests are to bo made in

' We havo them all where wo can

The forged warrants were ensued nt
threo saloons, nt Duvo Blake's, Se

Blnlte snys tho last warrants he

Strong Possibilities of the

(Written for the United Press.)
New York, Nov. 22. For the first
timo since the Isonzn battle started,
thero is now a possibility that Goritz
will bo '"ptured by tlio Italians.
General ,Cndria has changed his
tactics after six months of experiment
and is now concentrating his forces on
a 12 mile front beforo Goritz. Hitherto
he had tried to advance along the
whole front simultaneously.
The Frencii ami British several
months ago abandoned long line offen
sives nnd tho itnliun now have follow
ed suit. The result of this shift is seri
ously i'ndiiiigirint tlio Austrians at
Goritz and is making Jiossible the first
considerable Italian victory.
Fall of tho city may possibly re
quire the retirement or tho Austrinns
to Trieste, 15 miles southward.
Trieste city is the real objective of
tho KuliuAs. To protect Trieste, the
Austrians might recall troops from the
Russian and Serbian fronts. Thus

President Mellen Tells On
Witness Stand of Advice
Given Him
New York, Nov. 22. How President
Roosevelt in 1907 counselled the' then
President Mellon, of the Now York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad, to ac
quire the Boston & Maine railroad, was
recounted today by Mellen on the stand
in the government's conspiracy case In-
"Volving directors of the road.
Mellen testified that he went to
Washington where Roosevelt told him:
"I'm not a lawyer, and if you do any
thing wrong, you tnke -your own risk
and needn't return to me if you get
into trouble. But personally, I'd say to
buy tt."
Mellen swore, too, that he saw Secre
tary of Interior Lane about the propo
sition as Lane was then on the inter
state commerce commission. To both
Lano and- Roosevelt, Mellon suggested
the possibility that Canadian capitalists
would acquire tho road.
Lane, ho said, agreed that it would
be better to acquire the line, which runs
from Now JSngland into Canada, be
cause of its militury importance to the
United States.
Government attorneys sought to draw
from Mellen nn ndmksiou that he him
self caused rumors nbout the possible
Canadian purchase, but Mellen denied
he hald sent agents to Canada to spread
the story.
Judge Hunt ruled thnt no evidence
purporting to show that the New Hav
en road corrupted the Massachusetts
legislaturo was admissablc.
A lotter from a director to Mellen
suggested ' that "the little father at
Washington might get his finger into
tho pie, too," but Mellen answered
that "Washington matters ore cared
for."

It wns foifiid, however, before he left

Reports State That German Troops Have Reached
Constantinople Position of Serbia Serious
Paris, Nov. 22. The outcome of the
Greek crisis was today as doubtful as
ever, How far the allies have gone or
will go with their "commercial and
economic blockade" against Greece
had not been made public, officially.
Unofficial news that allied warships
are searching Greek , merchantmen is
an unexpected development which is
taken to mean that a literal blockado,
not a mere "paper" affair, has been
established.
Reports that Greece has decided to
remain neutral are unconfirmed. Tlrese
stories-said that while Serb refugees
would be disarmed, the allies would not
bo interned if thoy fled across the
Greek border, though they would be
forced to quit the country. Such a
course probably would not moot with
allied approval, however, for the re
moval of allied forces fleeing from Sor
bin would relieve Germany of the noud
of having strong forces in Serbia.
How Greece will act, however, will
probaldy be divulged shortly, for a
cabinet session was held yesterday to
discuss the whole situation.
