Semi-official advices today declare
thoy will not be disarmed or intered, as
it had been expected the Greek govern

to move eastward through Greece, it
is said, to rejoin the alliog near Gueg

herbs are moving westward to make
junction with the Serbs on the Al
banian frontier.
With the full of Monastir, the Serbs
have relinquished practically all of
Serbia. Both north and south, they
havo eluded the invaders- and escape
intact through snow-filled passes to
places of safety.
The gallant defense of a verv small

KILLED BY SOUTHERN
PACIUCJp NO. 54
,red Along Track Ahead of
caching Train But .
nd No Heed
An unidentified man was struck and
instantly killed by Southern Pacific
northbound train No. 64 at 9:40 this
morning about two blocks south of the
crossing near the Yew Park school. Ac
cording to W. C. Park, who was also
walking along the track the man did
not hear the train approaching until
it wns upon him and then was hit be
fore he could get off of the track. The
back of his head wns crushed in aud
his left leg was broken botween the
knee and ankle.
Mr. Park told Coroner Clough that he
was walking along the track about 100
feet ahead of the man killed. Park
heard the train whistle for the cross
ing and looke.il-around mid saw the man
ou the trnck. A few seconds later he
heard the whistle giving some extra
toots and looked ngain to see the train
upon tho man who half turned his
head just as tho cowcatcher struck the
man's legs and threw his head back
against the front end of the engine and
then, tossed him into the creek along
side of the track.
The train came to a stop as soon as
possible and tho man was pulled out of
tho water but he evidently had been
instantly killed. When Mr. Clough
found the man the pockets had been
turned inside , out nnd not a scrap of
paper rrmuined to identify the mnu. In
one of his pockets the coroner found a
husking peg and some cignrette'papers
nnd a package of tobacco. Tho man
wore n cont that had been purchased
from tho Barnes store and a hat that
came from tho Plymouth Clothing com
pany in this city. His clothes were
well worn and he wns roughly dressed.
He appeared to be nbnut 18 years of
age and weighed nbout 1 10 pounds. He
was five feet seven inches tall and hud
blue eyes and brown hair. No one
who saw the body could identify It nnd
there wero no scars or marks except
the soars ot a deep bum- on his left
thigh.
The bodv wns taken in charge by the
coroner who will hold it a short time
for identification.
L BE
Is Wanted In Connection With
Crowley On Charge of
Conspiracy
Saa Francisco, Dec. 4. After read
ing in the atternoon newspapers that
a warrant was out for his arrest on a
charge of bomb conspiracy, Baron
George Wilhelm Von Brincken, former
German armv" man, phoned United
States district attorney's office tins
afternoon that he would surrender him
self at five o'clock, and bring with
him bondsmen to furnish required bad.
The warrant against Von Brincken
charges him and also Crowley with
conspiracy "to destroy nnd interfere
with foreign commerce." Tho warrant
under which Crowley was arrested
charged conspiracy to violate 1'nited
Stntes lnws. The new warrant wns to
bo served also on Crowley this after
noon. The reason the warrant wns not serv
ed on Brincken Inst night when Federal
officials called on him was that the
state department had requested that no
consular officers or diplomats be ar
rested. At that time, Von Brincken de
clared he was officially connected with
the German consulate. Later, howev
er, the authorities learned that he was
not officially accredited to the con
sulate, nor to tho Germany embassy at
Washington. In view of this situation,
Brincken was placed in a position of
being a foreigner against whom the
government could act without commit
ting an" diplomatic, impropriety or in
volving any troublo with a foreign
country.

KAISER III HOPES
POPE WILL START
Political Move Seen In Keep
ing Cardinal Mercier From
Consistory
GERMANY REPRESENTED
BUT BELGIUM IS NOT
Claim Made That Germany
Has Made Suggestions
Tending to Peace
By Alice Sohe.
(T'nited Tress Stnff Correspondent.)
Rome, Dec. 4. Germany has alreudy
made informal suggestions toward
peace action through next Monday's
consistory reports current today de
clared. Cardinal Hartman of Cologne is said
to havo brought a proposal that Ger
many will ovneuate Belgium and France
and agree to tho autonomy of Poland,
ii. uiu wiuruii win inaKO poweriui et
forts toward pence.
Cardinals from the nllies, particular
ly Gnsquet of France and Bourne, of
England, have been sounded out with
this proposal, but it is understood thev
have replied that tho allies will not
countenance half peace measures.
Pope Benedict will tell the coming
consistory thnt tho failure of the great
powers to call in Christianity made The
Hague treaty a dead letter nnd thus
they wero responsible for tho war.
It. is understood that ho will declnre
The Hague conference, wns not repse
seutative of the world thought since
the Vatican was not represented there
in. Moreover, ho will assert that the
treuty would not have been violated if
it had tho sanction of tho church be
cause then tho people would have
known all about tho treaty and the
nations would have respected it.
BeJgium Cardinal Not There.
Rome, Deo. 1. (Delayed.) A po
litical bnttlo of the subtlest kind is
seen in Italian circles today in con
nection with tho presence of Cardinal
Hartman of Cologne here and the ab
sence of Cardinal Mercier of Brussels
on tho eve of the forthcoming consis
tory. faking advantago of the Vatican
privilege of sending uncensored tele
grams, Hnrtmann already has dispatch
ed a number of messages to Berlin, it
was understood todny. In these, it is
thought he informed the Gorman auth
orities about tho pope's attitude and
the prospects of His Holiness acting to
ward ending the war.
Germany, according to the view here,
realizes the importance of having the
German viewpoint on wnr issues iwr-
soniilly presented to the pope during
me consistory, rarrieuiarly, tiermany
wants her peace views aiid the sub
ject of Belgium, particularly Belgian
executions well presented. But, there
was fear as to the effect of reports
the Belgian cardinal might mnko, dip
lomatic circles (believe. Hence Ger
many insisted Mercier travel through?
uermany to nonio. Jie desired to go by
way of Franco and despite assertions
that ho was afforded every facility for
travel through German territory, the
j result is thnt Germany is represented
una nuigiuin is nor. .
It is believed the Kaiser hopes the
popo will start a peace move. Hart
niunn's visit is regarded as a peace
feeler. Germany is regarded as having
shaped the situatina well, but whether
the pope will meet what is regarded as
Teutonic hope for a pence movement
is believed to depend on his conversa
tions with other members of the Sacred
college as well as Cardinal Ilartmann.
British Lose at Bagdad.
London, Dec. 4 General Townsend's

At the samo time, it. enmo to light
thnt Baron George Wilhelm Von Brick

Regarding the alleged efforts of

New York, Dec. 4. Henry Ford's
peaco ship sails today. With the slogan
"Out of the Trenches" by Christmas'
ns an ideal, but admittedly perhaps on
ly an Ktenl, tho Oscar 11 was slated to
get under way oarly this afternoon.
Around the Hotol Biltmore, penco
headquarters, delegates in excited
groups made tho last arrangements this
afternoon. At least a dozen of them
woro too late to sail, forthoir pass
ports could not be produced in time.
Hundreds of persons planned to be nt
tho dock to see tho party off and to
wish their mission success. Former
Secretary of State Bryan promised to
bo on hand to shake hands with all
the pilgrims and say good luck.
The pence Bhip is slated to stop' first
at Christiania, Norwuy, about Decem
ber 14. Thonce it will go to Stock
holm, Copenhagen and The Hague. At
the latter place, Ford intends to leave
an intornationnl peace court sitting, to
which the nations at war could appeal
when they desire to start peace nego
tiations. Though ridiculed from some quarters,
though mooting with doubt in many,
Ford is confidont of success. Just
what tho party will do is still some
what vaguo. Plans , however, will be
crystallized aboard ship. Ford de
clared that the world will think differ
ently of the project beforo it was dono.
Former Secrotnry of Stato Bryan
may join the party later. Present plans
call for a six weeks stuy abroad, but
Ford admitted this timo may be con
sidornbly extended.
Sailing on the Oscar are 140 delo

PRICE TWO
SENTENCED 10 PEN
Judge Says Sentence Severe
For Purpose of Deterring
Others
New York, Dec. 4 Dr. Karl Bucnz,
head of the Hamburg-American line,
was sentenced today to 18 months in
the Atlanta federal penitentiury fol
lowing his conviction on charges of
customs violations in connection with
supplying German warships at sea.
Similar sentences were imposed on
his fellow conspirators George Kootter
ana Adolpa Hochmeister, while Joseph
Poppinghause was sentenced to a year
and a day in Atlanta,
' The Hamburg-American line was
fined a nominal sum.
Defense Attorney Rand immediately
made application for a writ of error
upon which the case will go on appeal
to the court of appeals. This, too, act
ed automatically to stay execution of
sentence.
The defendants were released on 10,
000 bail each, double the bail required
while they were on trial.
Judge Howe previously overruled mo
tions to set aside the verdict nud to ar
rest judgment. Then United States
District Judge Murshall moved sen
tence. "It is desirable," he said, "that
punishment shall be substantial not
so much for its effect on these defend
ants, but as a warning to others."
Attorney Rand interposed that the
defendants had been' actuated by no
wrongful purpose and that they regret
ted if they had done nny wrong. More
over, ho asserted, others had cxeuted
the orders of Buenz.
Although convicted on two counts,
sentences wero imposed on only one.
Iu tho Buenz case, Judge Howe said
he would recommend that tho warden
nccord the prisoner leniency on account
of the fact that he is 72 yeurB old.
RECALL OF CONSUL
Washington, Dec. 4. Recall of Amer
ican Consul General Von Nubor of Now
York is imminent, according to indi
cations today. ,
In its "elcjin up'' of Teuton ngents,
displeasing to this government, tho ad
ministration may likewise reach even
higher diplomatics, it was strongly
hinted.
These wore the outstanding facts to
day in tho situation arising from Austro-German
activities, which hns already
resulted in tho recall of Austrian Am
bassador Dumba, nnd the request yes
terday for withdrawal of Attache Boy
ed and Vou Pnpen of the German em
bassy. Just what will be the outcome of a
request for safe conduct of Boy-ed and
Pnpen is unknown. There is no doubt
here that Germany will nt once ac
quiesco in the government's requost for
their withdrawal hut it is possiblo that
they will meroly be sent to some other
part of tho American continent, thus
obviating tho need for an American re
quest for an allied safe conduct.
