This seems the more probable, be

Moreover, it is thought here thai
Greece will be forced into the conflict
within a fortnight, because of the de

San Francisco, Loc. 11. Authorities

answered the charge with the declara
tion that Bopp's claim was only a
surmise, with no justification.
According to Boiip, who termed the
alleged tampering an outrage, he found

and then delivered to the attorney for

to Sell Any Alcohol
Druggists of I he city nre taking
under advisement a proposition to re
fuso to sell alcohol under any condi
tions whatever after tho first of the
year when the new prohibition law
goes into effect. The now law, accord
ing to the interpretation of Attorney
Genernl Brown Is very stringent, and
the druggist will seli alcohol at his
neril. In other words, all responsibility
Is placed on the druggist, not only as
to whether tho doctor has a right to
prescribe, but as to whether tho party
presenting the prescription, has a right
to receive the alcohol. The situation
seems to be that if a party presents
an affldnvlt and a prescription proper
ly signed by a physician, and if the
druggist fills the prescription, and the
snid party gets drunk and does a lot
of damage, the druggist is liable tinder
the new law, With a condition like
this, the druggists nre seriously con
sidering to refuse to sell alcohol un
der any circumstances whatever. As
the attorney general says, the druggist
does not have to sell alcohol, and if
he does, he is liable for any subsequent
damages.

Department of justice authorities

Washington, Dec. 11. Simultaneous
with announcement thnt the sharp Am
erican note in the Aneona torpedoing
had been delivered in Vienna it beenmo
known today that Acting Austrian Am
bassador Zwiedinek is in gruve danger
of following Ambassador Dumbn, who
was recalled at America's request.
Developments in the situation have
been so rapid recently that Zwiedinek 's
withdrawal mav perhaps He nsneo pe
fore Monday, the time selected for
making piibiic the text of the Aneona
note.
The most stnrtling evidence against
any Austrinn diplomat thus far was
presented today to secretary oi nunc
Lansing In the form of photographed
letters signed by Zwiedinek nnd for
warded from Manchester, Mnss., the
Austrian summer embassy, In August,
1914, to Consul Genernl Nuber at New
York. These Indicated plans for
wholesale misuse or forgery of Amc

One of the Zwiedinek letters suggest
ed: "Perhaps it will be possible to
procure suitable passports of neutral
countries at a slight expense."
These letters apparently came from
tho Providence Journal which hns been
conducting an expose of nllegedd Teu

Secretary Lansing compared the
photographs with those of newspaper

GETTING SERIOUS
Fire Breaks Out On a
British Sugar-Laden Ship
New York, Dec. 11. Discovery of a
mysterious fire in her after hold drove
the 3,740 ton sugar laden British
freighter Tyinghame back into port to
day with her crew fighting the flames
and a heavy smoke blanketing her.
The fire was found when the vessel
wag only a few miles out of port on
her way to Quecnstown. A harbor
fireboat rushed to her aid and poured
great streams upon her.
While the origin of the firf is a mys
tery, it is believed to be incendiary,
probably the work of anti-ally ageuts.
Twenty minutes after she passed the
Narrows and headed out to sea, of
ficers found the blaze. Her wireless
operator cracked out tho news that she
was heading back, giving to shore sta
tions the sign "N II " meaning that
she was either afire or leaking. As soon

commerce.
With Germany, there was an appar
ent deadlock over the negotiations aris
ing from the torpedoing of the Lusi
taiiia with loss of American lives.
The silonce of Vienna in the fnee of
sharp Amorican demands for action
seemed nminous. On every side was
the question, "does Austria intend to
disregard America's firm request and
force a break!" The outlook in most
quarters seemed none too optimistic.
As for Germany, however, tho situa
tion was less tense. Her accession,
without a contest, to American demands
for recall of Attaches Von Papen and
Boy-ed of tho German embassy cleared
the diplomatic atmosphere in thnt di
rection at least.

point, however, no friction was antici

the administration today hoped mem
bers of congress would "put on the soft

eign nations. Senators Hoke Smith nnd

treatment of shipments of cotton and
copper in which the men are interest
ed. Moreover, Senator Lodge's resolu

This Is the Result of Lord
Derby's Campaign to Avoid
Conscription
GREAT CROWDS AT ALL
RECRUTING STATIONS
Examinations Dispensed With
and Women Called to Aid
Officers
By Wilbur S. Forrest. .
(United press staff correspondent.)
London, Dec. 11. In a whirlwind
eleventh hour attempt to stay a con
scription move, thousands of men today
overwhelmed recruiting offices in their
nnxiety to enroll before Lord Derby's
enlistment campaign ends at mid
night. Ho rushed were tho recruiting men,
that the usual examinations were dis
pensed with. Doctors moroly noted
thoir nnmeB and told thorn they would
bo exumined later.
Young men, single and married, and
middle uged men were in the cnlistinc
throngs. Tho chief station at Scotland
Yard was opened at 7 o'clock uftcr a
crowd, including several men in silk
hats, a dozen bank clerks, and soma
professional men, had becu lined up for
over an hour.
In South London, tho crowds wero
even heavier. Provincial citioB reported
they had recruited men all night and
weary officers faced additional thou
sands this morning. v
From Liverpool came a plea for mora
time, as tho officers thero had boon
unnblo to enroll the men already be
sieging the offices. Birmingham dis
posed of 10,000 armlets, signifying en
listments, and requested more.
Women school teachers wore drafted
as uids to the recruiting sergeants at
Glasgow, whoro throngs of volunteers
waited in tho rain. Three hundred ex
tra recruiting men had to be put on at
Leeds.
On Lord Derby's report to tho cab
inet tomorrow as to tho results of his
campaign will probably dopend the gov
ernment 's decision as to whether or not
it shall engage in conscription to fill
the ranks.
