"ATLANTA, GA
Records in German Embassy In

Btaff Correspondent of International
News Service,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—~Like al
Bolt out of a clear sky came the ca- I
bled information that the big British
Peninsular and Oriental liner Persia,
with a United States consular official,
Consul Robert N. McNeely, as a pas
gxter, had been sunk off Alexandria,
¥pt, with the practical loss of all
©of her passengers and crew
Coming, as it did, on the heels of
the acceptance of the submarine doc
trine compiled by the United States
that passenger liners should not be
sunk before the right of stoppage,
search and safeguarding of all lnvnl
on board, had been accepted by Aus
tria, as well as Germany, the latest
submarine outrage caused the gravest
ooncern to the Aamin!stration
It was felt that the loss of life of an
American consular ofMicial at this time
oreated a situation that required the
strongest action, despite the fact that
the identity of the submarine has not
yot been established, Only a single
glimmer of light was apparent, of
©inls sald That was either the big
steamer had tried to escape, and that,
therefore, her torpedoing would be ex
cusabie under international law, or
that she tried to resist
‘ Claim Liners Are Armed.
At the German Embassy, while !t
‘Wwas sald no information regarding the
Mmatter was avallable, all information
‘avaliable there indicated that the P
and O liners all are armed, and, if
That is #O, their status would be that
of an auxiliary crulser and not of a
Ppeaceable liner
The first official report received in
Washington came from Consul Gen

An Offensive Would Cost Teutons
150,000 Men, One of His
Aides Declares,
By CHARLES F. BERTELLI,
Staffi Correspondent of International
News Service.
PARIS, Jan. .--General Castel
nau, chief of the French general staff,
who went to Saloniki to confer with
the Anglo-French commanders and
Inspect the Allles’ defenses, has re
turned to France fully satisfied that
the Bulgarians and Germans can
never dislodge the Allies from their
positions In Greece.
While in Rome on his way to
France General Castelnau gave ot
an interview in which he declared
that the German Allles would suffer
tremendous losses of life if they at
tacked at SBalonik]l, One of General
Castelnau's aldes supplemented the
interview by msaying:
“An offensive by the Bulgarian and
German forces in Greece would cost
them at least 150,000 men.”
. Allies Fortify for 50 Miles.
The Salonlkl correspondent of The
Matin reports that the Allies are con
structing defensive works all the way
from Saloniki to the Gulf of Orp
hano, 50 miles to the east. The de
fenders at Saloniki are divided into
two sectors, the French holding the
left and the English the right.
There are now 190,000 allied troops
in Greece, 100,000 of them French and
90,000 of them English.
Further adylces from Saloniki and
Athens tell n‘ tremendous losses suf.
sered Ly the Bulgarians.
“These losses,” says one dispatch,
“are too great to permit of a great of
fensive in Greece, The French artil
lery wiped out thres Bulgarian regi
ments at Krivolak, while in Decem
ber the English destroyed the Fourth
Bulgarian Regiment of cavalry.
The Jourral's correspondent at Av.
alona, Albania, sends words that Es
sad Pasha, the self.proclaimed mlnri‘
of Albanin, with 20,0006 trooge, has de.
clared war against Austria and Bul. |
garia. In conclusion, he says |
Bulgar Flank Exposed.
“The ltalian troops In Albania are
merely destined for garrison duty,
which Is to b regretted, for the Bul. |
garian flank is fully exposed.” |

correspondent of The Petit Journal,
Continuing, he says l
“At Scutari the Serbs will join the

Judge Newman Holds L. and N.
Had Right to Insist on Re
moval of Poles.
Judge Newman Saturday in the
United States District Court decided
against the Western Union Telegraph |
Company in its fight to keep its wires
and poles on the right of way of the
Louisville and Nashville Rallroad.
Called on to dismiss an ejection suit
filed by the road against the wire con-‘
cern, he refused to do so.
This was a companion decision to
that rendered several weeks ago, n
which Judge Newman refused to dis
miss a suit brought against the
Western Union by the Atlanta and
West Point Railroad.
Attorneys for the Western Union
have expressed the intention of fight
ing the case through to a finigh, and
it 1s expected that the United States
Supreme Court will finally be caliad|
upon to decide. This Is an old fight
between the roads and the telegraph
companies, and revives the fight of
ten years or more ago, when the
Pennsylvania Rallroad employees
cut down the company's poles be
cause the company refused to move
them off the right of way.
Judge Newman's opinion says:
“The prayer Is that the court in
some proper way condemn the prop
erty and fix the amount of compen
sation to be pald to the rallroad com
lflany by the telegraph company. It
has already been determined by this
court in the Atlanta and West Point
case that a court of equity has ro
such power. The opinion expressed
then is entertained now,
“The contract of 1884 hetween tha
parties does not give to the telegranh
company any irrevocable and perpet.
ual right in and upon the rallroad's
right of way, as clalmed, but glves it
Simply the right to uso and oscecupy
