Bulgaria Promised Military Collabo
ration in Albania.
Rome, Wednesday (delayed). — The
“Idea Nazionale” publishes the princi
pal clauses of the Greco-Bulgarian
agreement, which was concluded on Oc-
tober 15. They are as follows: —
The Greek Government engages to
maintain absolute neutrality toward
Bulgaria, Turkey and the Central Em
pires. ,
The military dispositions toward the
Bulgarian frontier shall be modified in
such a manner as to guarantee Bulgaria
against the danger of surprise attacks,
and allow her troops concentrated to
ward the frontier as a preliminary
measure to be removed.
Greece shall regard the expeditionary
corps of the Entente in the light of a
guest who is not approved, hut who can
not be ejected, and shall abstain from
granting it facilities which could only
have been given to friendly troops.
The Greek Government shall consider
as null and void, owing to circumstan
ces, the treaty of alliance with Servia,
and resume her entire liberty of action
for the protection of her interests and
her ambitions which would have been
compromised by the Servian policy.
Bulgaria engages to remove her troops
from the Greek frontier and to place
no obstacle in the way of Greek mobili
zation.
Bulgaria renounces all pretensions to
Kavalla and any othe,r point in Greek
Macedonia. She engages to help Greece
in her ambitions in Albania, even to
the extent of military collaboration.
Bulgaria engages to supply Greece
with all products which Greece might
not he able to import by sea.
The agreement is signed by King Fer
dinand, King Constantine, M. Radosla-
vof and M. Zaimis.—Daily Express.
REFUSED TO LEAVE WOUNDED.
Lady Paget’s Heroic Reply to Hus
band’s Appeal.
(FROM THE HERALD’S CORRESPONDENT.)
London, Tuesday.—The heroic devo
tion of Lady Paget on behalf of the sick
and w r ounded Servians under her charge
at Uskub is described in a cablegram
received in New York from Mr. William
G. Shepherd, United Press correspon
dent now at Monastir.
Details of her act of self-sacrifice were
brought to Monastir by Dr. Edward
Stuart, head of the American Sanitary
Commission, who, with his wife and the
other members of the commission, left
Nish two days before its fall.
“As soon as it became apparent that
the Bulgarians would surely capture
Uskub,” said Dr. Stuart, “Sir Ralph
Pa^et started by automobile from Nish,
and arrived at Uskub only three hours
before the Bulgarians entered the city.
“Although overjoyed to see her hus
band Ladv Paget absolutely refused to
abandon her work in the hospital, say-
‘I am going to stop heie to take
care of these poor men. It is useless to
try to make me leave. I simply must
stop.’ ”
M. Denys Cochin at Brindisi.
ML Denys Cochin, the French Minis-
ter of State, who has undertaken a
mission to Athens, did not leave Rome
until Sunday evening, the Iigaro
learns. His destination was Brindisi,
where he arrived on Monday to em
bark.
(SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.)
Milan, Tuesday.—Battling with mag
nificent courage against an enemy vastly
superior in numbers, the gallant little
army in southern Servia, though still
intact, is evidently gravely menaced by
the Bulgarian attempt at its envelop
ment.
The “Corriere della Sera” has just
received a despatch from its Salomca
correspondent which throws much light
upon the strategical plan of the Bulga
rian troops operating in the south. The
Servian army is covering Monastir, and
the enemy, who has brought up fresh
and large reinforcements, is attempting
to isolate it entirely by preventing its
junction with the French expeditionary
corps, whose advance guards are making
equally desperate efforts to effect a liai
son with their Allies along the left bank
of the Cerna.
The sudden Servian counter-offensive
in lower Servia coupled with the French
advance on the Vardar compelled the
Bulgars to rush troops into this secto r
from Pirot and Nish. Outnumbered by
four to one, the Servians were forced to
resume the defensive, and yesterday,
after furious fighting, they lost Tetevo,
round which town and in the valley the
battle still continues.
It is, however, particularly in the Ba
buna pass between Veles and Prilip that
the situation is critical. The splendid
little Servian army is holding the pass
with grim tenacity against a series of
furious attacks. An entire Bulgarian
division, supported by powerful artil
lery, has taken up a position along the
Kvadar-Pletvar route in order to pre
vent the junction of the Servians and
the French.
Yesterday afternoon the Bulgars
opened up a terrific bombardment of the
French lines on the left bank of the
Cerna, and at eight o’clock in the even
ing the engagement was still in progress.
Moreover, while they are keeping the
French engaged the Bulgars are renew
ing with the utmost fury their attacks
against the Babuna Pass, whose occupa
tion by them would almost cer
tainly entail the fall of Prilip
and of Monastir. The situation
of the Servians is exceedingly pre
carious, for it must be remembered
that, to resist the powerful and numer
ous enemy troops, they have only their
little army, already worn out with the
long and prodigious resistance it has
made.
The only really cheerful feature in the
situation is that the landing of Allied
troops at Salonica continues with regu
larity and rapidity.
Mr. Asquith, Six' Edward Grey, Mr.

Mr. Asquith, Sir Edward Grey,
Mr. A. J. Balfour and Mr. D. Lloyd

(SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.)
London, Tuesday.—Replying to a
question in the House of Commons to
day, Mr. Asquith declared: —
“I must repeat what I said on Novem

“It is my firm conviction that we shall
not have to resort to coercive measures
for recruiting and that the appeal to
patriotic sentiment, so energetically j
made by Lord Derby, will receive a j

yesterday, Lord Fisher, speaking in the
House of Lords to-day, said: “I have

“The Prime Minister said yesterday,”
Lord Fisher continued, “that Mr.
Churchill had said one or two things
that would have been better left unsaid
and that he necessarily and naturally
left unsaid some things which will have
to be said later op. ; •
“I am content to wait. It is not fit

Having made this statement, Lord

occurred while the vessel was at sea were
learned.
The steamship left New York on No

morning of November 8 the odor of
burning wood was noticed coming from
No. 3 hold. An examination was made
and the fire was found to be, not in the
cargo, but in the coal bunkers. The fire
was quenched with water sfter a three
hours’ fight
As already told in the Herald, the
passengers knew nothing of the occur
rence until a wireless despatch was re
ceived from land asking for news.
Until the bunker has been entirely
cleaned out and a careful inspection made
it will he impossible to say whether the
fire'was of incendiary origin.

Latest advices from the Near East in
dicate that while the Allies’ expedition
ary forces on the Vardar and Cerna
front are making some progress against
powerful enemy forces, the situation of
the southern Servian army is less satis
factory, owing to increased Bulgarian
pressure southward from Uskub and
Veles toward the Babuna Pass.
Athens newspapers state that the
French troops, after having captured the
important positions near Hill 516, in the
region of Kosturino, a success already
announced in the Herald, have now oc
cupied the town of Kosturino itself and
are moving forward on Strumitza -with
out encountering any very serious op

this news lacks official confirmation. ’

NEW WAR LOAN VOTED.
After having been voted by the
Chamber of Deputies, the new French

Fay Has Promised to Tell American
Authorities Everything.
Washington, Monday.—At last it be
gins to look as if the Government would
he able to secure evidence that has long
been searched for to connect the German
Government and the German Embassy
with the bomb plots, murders and other
outrages that have been carried out in
America since the beginning of the war.
The Prussian lieutenant, calling him
self Fay, who was sent to this country
by the German Secret Service to blow
up British merchant vessels with a
bomb of his invention, has proved him
self to be a typical criminal by offering
to turn informer to save his own worth
less neck.
Fay, who is in prison in default of
bail, has succumbed to the repeated
questioning of the Federal Secret Ser
vice agents, and has agreed to make a
full confession, promising to tell every
thing he knows, to reveal the names of
the men who gave him his instructions
in Germany, and furnished him with
the money for his journey, and also the
men in this country with whom he
worked, and who financed his bomb en
terprises.
Fay’s excuse for turning informer is
that after what ho had already re
vealed, he will never be able to return
to Germany, and he is also angry be
cause he has been deserted by the more
important members of the gang. When
Fay, Max Breitling, the nephew of E.
N. Breitung, the millionaire, and
former owner of the Dacia, and Dr.
Kienzle, whose father in Germany is
said to he the largest manufacturer of
clocks in the world, were arrested for
the bomb plot, and each of them was
committed for trial ifi £5,000 bail,
Breitung and Kienzle were represented
by prominent lawyers, and bail uas
quickly forthcoming, but lay, who
pleaded poverty, had to accept the sei-
vices of a lawyer assigned to him by the
Court, and being unable to find sureties
he was sent to prison.
Dr. Goricar. the former Austrian Con
sul whose revelations of Austrian and
German espionage have so stirred the
country, in a further statement charges
Captain’ Boy-Ed, Captain von Papen,
and Herr von Nuber with directing the
work, and declares, from his own know
ledge, that there are 3,000 German spies
in this country, every one of whom is
under the control of these three men,
who give them their orders and the
money necessary for their expenses.
Every spy? s&ys Er. GoriCcir, will do
exactly as he is commanded, and each of
tiipso men considers himself, as he really
is a soldier under the directions of his
military superiors. Not one of these
men would dare to act on his own initia-
tive—Mornin g Post.
RECORDS of corruption.
American Newspaper Declares it
Has Abundant Proofs.
New York, Monday.—The “Provi
dence Journal” to-day publishes further
disclosures of the Austro-German con
spiracy in the United States. A fund
qf between £7,000,000 and £8,000,000
it alleges, has been spent in the United
States during the last four months in
propaganda against the Allies under the
immediate supervision of Count Berns-
torff and Privy Councillor Albert. The
journal claims to have positive records
of the receipt of at least £2,000,000 by
Count Bernstorff and Herr Albert dur
ing the time mentioned. It names the
banking institutions through which the
money passed, none of which, it says,
was spent for legitimate purposes, all of
it going on propaganda work of the most
vicious description.
The journal publishes a copy of a
wireless message dated September 5, ad
dressed to a large bank in New York, os
tensibly from a Berlin commercial insti
tution, but in reality from the German
Foreign Office, ordering it to pay Herr
Albert £400,000, and also a message from
Dr. Dumba, dated September 22 , asking
the Minister for Foreign Affairs in
Vienna for £120,000 for the “Hungarian
postal administration,” which, it is
shown, is obviously a code expression.
The journal also prints facsimiles of
letters from Austro-Hungarian Consular
officers urging their nationals to leave
munition factories in the United States
and threatening them with dire penal
ties if they refuse.—Reuter.
Submarines’ Supply Base.
Madrid, Tuesday.—According to in
formation published in the “Imparcial,”
German submarines operating" in the
Mediterranean have a supply base
within the Spanish zone of the African
coast.
The first submarines were sighted off
Huelva, where they took in food and
gasoline. Other submarines obtained
supplies at Tres Forcas, on the African
coast, all these supplies coming from
Melilla.
The “Imparcial” does not mention
the name of the dealer in this contra
band, but many newspapers consider
Senor Jose Martinez Ezcuariaza, owner
of fishing rights at Santi Petri, near
Cadiz, to be implicated.—Temps.
Italy Protests to Neutrals.
Rome, Monday.—Barone Sonnino has
sent to neutral Governments a protest
against the specially brutal manner in
which the Ancona was sunk. In no
other case, says the Note, has the enemy
reached such a degree of cruelty. The
Ancona carried neither arms nor other
contraband, and consequently no excuse
is possible. Barone Sonnino recalls the
fundamental rules of civilized war
which protect the lives of non-com
batants, and accuses the enemy of caus
ing the deaths of more than 200’ persons,
including women and children, by
drowning.
American Denounces Pirates.
New York, Monday.—Grave appre
hension has been caused at Washington
by the statement by Dr. Griel, who was
a passenger in the Ancona, that the
submarine steadily fired at the liner
while the passengers were being placed
in the lifeboats.
This is the first definite testimony
from an American source amid the con
flicting details received about the
Ancona massacre. If Dr. Griel makes
an affidavit regarding the matter,
America must then take it up officially.

PIONEER IN TREATMENT OF
WHITE SCOURGE IS DEAD.
Dr. E. L. Trudeau Succumbs to Ma
lady, Ravages of Which He Had
Nobly Fought.
(BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.)
New York, Tuesday. — Dr. Edward
Livingston Trudeau, a pioneer in the
treatment of tuberculosis, died to-day at
Saranac Lake, from tuberculosis, aged
sixtv-eight.
Dr. Trudeau was a native of New York
and was the son of Dr. James Trudeau.
He began practice in New York in 1872,
hut ill-health forced him to go to the
Adirondack Mountains, where he had
since resided.
He founded in 1884 the Adirondack
Cottage Sanatorium for the treatment of
incipient consumption in working men
and women. He also founded in 1894
the Saranac Laboratory for the study of
tuberculosis. Both institutions were the
first of their kind in America, and Dr.
Trudeau had devotedly superintended
them- since their foundation. He mar

Londoners Greeted with Season’s
First Snowfall—Eight Inches
Deep in Derbyshire.;
(SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.)
London, Tuesday.—Londoners awoke
this morning to find that their city had
donned its first winter coat. Later, a
thaw set in and the roadways and thor
oughfares became thick with slush. As
the morning wore on a delayed sun put
in an appearance and a few hours of
brightness was sufficient to remove all
traces of the wintry visitation.
Not so in the Lower Thames Valley,
however, where the keenest frost of the
season was experienced.
Last year a similarly cold spell set in
at practically the same date as this year
and frosty weather continued for seve
ral days. The rains during the first
half of November have been generally
equal io the average for the whole
month over England, and notwithstand
ing this there has. also been an excess
of sunshine over the central and south
ern portions of the kingdom.
But in the north the grip of winter
is on the land. As much as 6deg. of
frost was registered in North Yorkshire
yesterday morning, and all the ponds
and tarns were thick with ice.
Snowfalls were general throughout the
country, there being a particularly
heavy fall in the Peak district of Derby
shire, where the snow lay on the hills to
a depth of eight inches. The weather is
bitterly cold. In Essex five-inch falls
occurred.
Heavy floods are reported from Wales,
and the Severn, the Dee and Wye rivers
are to-day greatly swollen and in many
parts have overflowed their banks in
consequence of the severe storms of rain,
snow and sleet.
The Cumberland mountains and the
Pennine Chain separating Cumberland
from Northumberland are covered with
snow to a considerable depth.
A number of fishermen, off Dungeness,
were caught in a violent squall this
morning. One boat capsized and one
man was drowned.
At Carlisle, this morning, the frosi
was more severe than it has ever been
before this season, 17 degrees being re
gistered.
Some local rivers, including the Eden,
the Caldew and the Petteril are already
freezing over.
In Scotland, an exceptionally fierce
snowstorm swept over the Loch Lomond
region and the Vale of Leven districts.
Reports continue to arrive of the
wrecks and damage caused by the terrific
hurricane which blew itself out at the
end of the week. Eleven more bodies
have been washed ashore from the Saint-
Malo, the Compagnie Generale Transat-
lantique steamer which turned turtle and
foundered off Guernsey.
PARIS, NOT TO BE OUTDONE
BY LONDON, ALSO HAD SNOW.
Bang! No it was not a Zeppelin bomb,
but merely the Herald’s Weather Man
hitting the bull’s-eye, for true to his
forecast, Paris was visited by a tiny
snowfall yesterday morning, enough
withal to place the French capital in the
running with London.
The snow melted as soon as it touched
the ground, and did no more harm than
to make some dainty Parisienne or other
gather up her skirts, and as the flakes
prevented the dust from flying the
naughty man’s eye went unpunished.
The provinces came in for their share
of snow yesterday also, and the heights
of the Maconnais and the Charollais are
now one mass of white. The Jura moun
tains are thickly covered with an ermine
blanket.
Latest despatches indicate that it was
still snowing last evening in the Doubs.

Bulgaria Promised Military Collabo
ration in Albania.
Rome, Wednesday (delayed). — The
“Idea Nazionale” publishes the princi
pal clauses of the Greco-Bulgarian
agreement, which was concluded on Oc-
tober 15. They are as follows: —
The Greek Government engages to
maintain absolute neutrality toward
Bulgaria, Turkey and the Central Em
pires. ,
The military dispositions toward the
Bulgarian frontier shall be modified in
such a manner as to guarantee Bulgaria
against the danger of surprise attacks,
and allow her troops concentrated to
ward the frontier as a preliminary
measure to be removed.
Greece shall regard the expeditionary
corps of the Entente in the light of a
guest who is not approved, hut who can
not be ejected, and shall abstain from
granting it facilities which could only
have been given to friendly troops.
The Greek Government shall consider
as null and void, owing to circumstan
ces, the treaty of alliance with Servia,
and resume her entire liberty of action
for the protection of her interests and
her ambitions which would have been
compromised by the Servian policy.
Bulgaria engages to remove her troops
from the Greek frontier and to place
no obstacle in the way of Greek mobili
zation.
Bulgaria renounces all pretensions to
Kavalla and any othe,r point in Greek
Macedonia. She engages to help Greece
in her ambitions in Albania, even to
the extent of military collaboration.
Bulgaria engages to supply Greece
with all products which Greece might
not he able to import by sea.
The agreement is signed by King Fer
dinand, King Constantine, M. Radosla-
vof and M. Zaimis.—Daily Express.
REFUSED TO LEAVE WOUNDED.
Lady Paget’s Heroic Reply to Hus
band’s Appeal.
(FROM THE HERALD’S CORRESPONDENT.)
London, Tuesday.—The heroic devo
tion of Lady Paget on behalf of the sick
and w r ounded Servians under her charge
at Uskub is described in a cablegram
received in New York from Mr. William
G. Shepherd, United Press correspon
dent now at Monastir.
Details of her act of self-sacrifice were
brought to Monastir by Dr. Edward
Stuart, head of the American Sanitary
Commission, who, with his wife and the
other members of the commission, left
Nish two days before its fall.
“As soon as it became apparent that
the Bulgarians would surely capture
Uskub,” said Dr. Stuart, “Sir Ralph
Pa^et started by automobile from Nish,
and arrived at Uskub only three hours
before the Bulgarians entered the city.
“Although overjoyed to see her hus
band Ladv Paget absolutely refused to
abandon her work in the hospital, say-
‘I am going to stop heie to take
care of these poor men. It is useless to
try to make me leave. I simply must
stop.’ ”
M. Denys Cochin at Brindisi.
ML Denys Cochin, the French Minis-
ter of State, who has undertaken a
mission to Athens, did not leave Rome
until Sunday evening, the Iigaro
learns. His destination was Brindisi,
where he arrived on Monday to em
bark.
(SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.)
Milan, Tuesday.—Battling with mag
nificent courage against an enemy vastly
superior in numbers, the gallant little
army in southern Servia, though still
intact, is evidently gravely menaced by
the Bulgarian attempt at its envelop
ment.
The “Corriere della Sera” has just
received a despatch from its Salomca
correspondent which throws much light
upon the strategical plan of the Bulga
rian troops operating in the south. The
Servian army is covering Monastir, and
the enemy, who has brought up fresh
and large reinforcements, is attempting
to isolate it entirely by preventing its
junction with the French expeditionary
corps, whose advance guards are making
equally desperate efforts to effect a liai
son with their Allies along the left bank
of the Cerna.
The sudden Servian counter-offensive
in lower Servia coupled with the French
advance on the Vardar compelled the
Bulgars to rush troops into this secto r
from Pirot and Nish. Outnumbered by
four to one, the Servians were forced to
resume the defensive, and yesterday,
after furious fighting, they lost Tetevo,
round which town and in the valley the
battle still continues.
It is, however, particularly in the Ba
buna pass between Veles and Prilip that
the situation is critical. The splendid
little Servian army is holding the pass
with grim tenacity against a series of
furious attacks. An entire Bulgarian
division, supported by powerful artil
lery, has taken up a position along the
Kvadar-Pletvar route in order to pre
vent the junction of the Servians and
the French.
Yesterday afternoon the Bulgars
opened up a terrific bombardment of the
French lines on the left bank of the
Cerna, and at eight o’clock in the even
ing the engagement was still in progress.
Moreover, while they are keeping the
French engaged the Bulgars are renew
ing with the utmost fury their attacks
against the Babuna Pass, whose occupa
tion by them would almost cer
tainly entail the fall of Prilip
and of Monastir. The situation
of the Servians is exceedingly pre
carious, for it must be remembered
that, to resist the powerful and numer
ous enemy troops, they have only their
little army, already worn out with the
long and prodigious resistance it has
made.
The only really cheerful feature in the
situation is that the landing of Allied
troops at Salonica continues with regu
larity and rapidity.

front are making some progress against
powerful enemy forces, the situation of
the southern Servian army is less satis
factory, owing to increased Bulgarian
pressure southward from Uskub and
Veles toward the Babuna Pass.
Athens newspapers state that the
French troops, after having captured the
important positions near Hill 516, in the
region of Kosturino, a success already
announced in the Herald, have now oc

NEW WAR LOAN VOTED.
After having been voted by the

Fay Has Promised to Tell American
Authorities Everything.
Washington, Monday.—At last it be
gins to look as if the Government would
he able to secure evidence that has long
been searched for to connect the German
Government and the German Embassy
with the bomb plots, murders and other
outrages that have been carried out in
America since the beginning of the war.
The Prussian lieutenant, calling him
self Fay, who was sent to this country
by the German Secret Service to blow
up British merchant vessels with a
bomb of his invention, has proved him
self to be a typical criminal by offering
to turn informer to save his own worth
less neck.
Fay, who is in prison in default of
bail, has succumbed to the repeated
questioning of the Federal Secret Ser
vice agents, and has agreed to make a
full confession, promising to tell every
thing he knows, to reveal the names of
the men who gave him his instructions
in Germany, and furnished him with
the money for his journey, and also the
men in this country with whom he
worked, and who financed his bomb en
terprises.
Fay’s excuse for turning informer is
that after what ho had already re
vealed, he will never be able to return
to Germany, and he is also angry be
cause he has been deserted by the more
important members of the gang. When
Fay, Max Breitling, the nephew of E.
N. Breitung, the millionaire, and
former owner of the Dacia, and Dr.
Kienzle, whose father in Germany is
said to he the largest manufacturer of
clocks in the world, were arrested for
the bomb plot, and each of them was
committed for trial ifi £5,000 bail,
Breitung and Kienzle were represented
by prominent lawyers, and bail uas
quickly forthcoming, but lay, who
pleaded poverty, had to accept the sei-
vices of a lawyer assigned to him by the
Court, and being unable to find sureties
he was sent to prison.
Dr. Goricar. the former Austrian Con
sul whose revelations of Austrian and
German espionage have so stirred the
country, in a further statement charges
Captain’ Boy-Ed, Captain von Papen,
and Herr von Nuber with directing the
work, and declares, from his own know
ledge, that there are 3,000 German spies
in this country, every one of whom is
under the control of these three men,
who give them their orders and the
money necessary for their expenses.
Every spy? s&ys Er. GoriCcir, will do
exactly as he is commanded, and each of
tiipso men considers himself, as he really
is a soldier under the directions of his
military superiors. Not one of these
men would dare to act on his own initia-
tive—Mornin g Post.
RECORDS of corruption.
American Newspaper Declares it
Has Abundant Proofs.
New York, Monday.—The “Provi
dence Journal” to-day publishes further
disclosures of the Austro-German con
spiracy in the United States. A fund
qf between £7,000,000 and £8,000,000
it alleges, has been spent in the United
States during the last four months in
propaganda against the Allies under the
immediate supervision of Count Berns-
torff and Privy Councillor Albert. The
journal claims to have positive records
of the receipt of at least £2,000,000 by
Count Bernstorff and Herr Albert dur
ing the time mentioned. It names the
banking institutions through which the
money passed, none of which, it says,
was spent for legitimate purposes, all of
it going on propaganda work of the most
vicious description.
The journal publishes a copy of a
wireless message dated September 5, ad
dressed to a large bank in New York, os
tensibly from a Berlin commercial insti
tution, but in reality from the German
Foreign Office, ordering it to pay Herr
Albert £400,000, and also a message from
Dr. Dumba, dated September 22 , asking
the Minister for Foreign Affairs in
Vienna for £120,000 for the “Hungarian
postal administration,” which, it is
shown, is obviously a code expression.
The journal also prints facsimiles of
letters from Austro-Hungarian Consular
officers urging their nationals to leave
munition factories in the United States
and threatening them with dire penal
ties if they refuse.—Reuter.
Submarines’ Supply Base.
Madrid, Tuesday.—According to in
formation published in the “Imparcial,”
German submarines operating" in the
Mediterranean have a supply base
within the Spanish zone of the African
coast.
The first submarines were sighted off
Huelva, where they took in food and
gasoline. Other submarines obtained
supplies at Tres Forcas, on the African
coast, all these supplies coming from
Melilla.
The “Imparcial” does not mention
the name of the dealer in this contra
band, but many newspapers consider
Senor Jose Martinez Ezcuariaza, owner
of fishing rights at Santi Petri, near
Cadiz, to be implicated.—Temps.
Italy Protests to Neutrals.
Rome, Monday.—Barone Sonnino has
sent to neutral Governments a protest
against the specially brutal manner in
which the Ancona was sunk. In no
other case, says the Note, has the enemy
reached such a degree of cruelty. The
Ancona carried neither arms nor other
contraband, and consequently no excuse
is possible. Barone Sonnino recalls the
fundamental rules of civilized war
which protect the lives of non-com
batants, and accuses the enemy of caus
ing the deaths of more than 200’ persons,

American Denounces Pirates.
New York, Monday.—Grave appre
hension has been caused at Washington
by the statement by Dr. Griel, who was
a passenger in the Ancona, that the
submarine steadily fired at the liner
while the passengers were being placed
in the lifeboats.
This is the first definite testimony
from an American source amid the con
flicting details received about the
Ancona massacre. If Dr. Griel makes
an affidavit regarding the matter,
America must then take it up officially.

PIONEER IN TREATMENT OF
WHITE SCOURGE IS DEAD.
Dr. E. L. Trudeau Succumbs to Ma
lady, Ravages of Which He Had
Nobly Fought.
(BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.)
New York, Tuesday. — Dr. Edward
Livingston Trudeau, a pioneer in the
treatment of tuberculosis, died to-day at
Saranac Lake, from tuberculosis, aged
sixtv-eight.
Dr. Trudeau was a native of New York
and was the son of Dr. James Trudeau.
He began practice in New York in 1872,
hut ill-health forced him to go to the
Adirondack Mountains, where he had
since resided.
He founded in 1884 the Adirondack
Cottage Sanatorium for the treatment of
incipient consumption in working men
and women. He also founded in 1894
the Saranac Laboratory for the study of
tuberculosis. Both institutions were the
first of their kind in America, and Dr.
Trudeau had devotedly superintended
them- since their foundation. He mar
ried in June, 1871, Charlotte G, Beare,

Londoners Greeted with Season’s
First Snowfall—Eight Inches
Deep in Derbyshire.;
(SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.)
London, Tuesday.—Londoners awoke
this morning to find that their city had
donned its first winter coat. Later, a
thaw set in and the roadways and thor
oughfares became thick with slush. As
the morning wore on a delayed sun put
in an appearance and a few hours of
brightness was sufficient to remove all
traces of the wintry visitation.
Not so in the Lower Thames Valley,
however, where the keenest frost of the
season was experienced.
Last year a similarly cold spell set in
at practically the same date as this year
and frosty weather continued for seve
ral days. The rains during the first
half of November have been generally
equal io the average for the whole
month over England, and notwithstand
ing this there has. also been an excess
of sunshine over the central and south
ern portions of the kingdom.
But in the north the grip of winter
is on the land. As much as 6deg. of
frost was registered in North Yorkshire
yesterday morning, and all the ponds
and tarns were thick with ice.
Snowfalls were general throughout the
country, there being a particularly
heavy fall in the Peak district of Derby
shire, where the snow lay on the hills to
a depth of eight inches. The weather is
bitterly cold. In Essex five-inch falls
occurred.
Heavy floods are reported from Wales,
and the Severn, the Dee and Wye rivers
are to-day greatly swollen and in many
parts have overflowed their banks in
consequence of the severe storms of rain,
snow and sleet.
The Cumberland mountains and the
Pennine Chain separating Cumberland
from Northumberland are covered with
snow to a considerable depth.
A number of fishermen, off Dungeness,
were caught in a violent squall this
morning. One boat capsized and one
man was drowned.
At Carlisle, this morning, the frosi
was more severe than it has ever been
before this season, 17 degrees being re
gistered.
Some local rivers, including the Eden,
the Caldew and the Petteril are already
freezing over.
In Scotland, an exceptionally fierce
snowstorm swept over the Loch Lomond
region and the Vale of Leven districts.
Reports continue to arrive of the
wrecks and damage caused by the terrific
hurricane which blew itself out at the
end of the week. Eleven more bodies
have been washed ashore from the Saint-
Malo, the Compagnie Generale Transat-
lantique steamer which turned turtle and
foundered off Guernsey.
PARIS, NOT TO BE OUTDONE
BY LONDON, ALSO HAD SNOW.
Bang! No it was not a Zeppelin bomb,
but merely the Herald’s Weather Man
hitting the bull’s-eye, for true to his
forecast, Paris was visited by a tiny
snowfall yesterday morning, enough
withal to place the French capital in the
running with London.
The snow melted as soon as it touched
the ground, and did no more harm than
to make some dainty Parisienne or other
gather up her skirts, and as the flakes
prevented the dust from flying the
naughty man’s eye went unpunished.
The provinces came in for their share
of snow yesterday also, and the heights
of the Maconnais and the Charollais are
now one mass of white. The Jura moun
tains are thickly covered with an ermine
blanket.
Latest despatches indicate that it was
still snowing last evening in the Doubs.
