NEW OFFER IN LUSITANIA CASE Germany Will U Direct Re prisal at Any Except Enemy. ! . HSKS FREEDOM GF SEAS i ■—~~~~ Dispute "Practically Bettl.d," Say» Senator 3tone—Lansing Denies Nsw Demands. Germany has agreed that reprisals must not be directed against any other than enemy subjects. This expression Is offered to take the place of the phrase coniainlng the word "Illegal," and was incorporated In the draft of the Lusltanla agree ment now under consideration. [ It also became known that Germany expresses the hope that It may have the opportunity to cooperate with thfc United States in soipe action looking toward the freedom of the seas before the end of the war. This statement Is taken In high diplomatic circles to Imply that the Berlin government sees no occasion to await the cessation of hostilities before settling that issue. Furthermore, the German govern ment refers to the British blockade of Germany as being Inhumane, calls at tention to the fact that neutrals' ves sels iiave been affected by the effort of the British government to ata v, Germany, and puts forth the con ten tion that the German retaliation in the war zone around the British- Isles I Justified by the actions o( Great Bri | aln. Claims that the reprisals are lege ! are not made. As has been previous'? stated, Germany says In the comm tni cation that the killing of citizens o the United States was without lnten' and that the method of conductin warfare in the war zone around t ' British Isles has been changed o'j of regard for the long standing frk nd ship between the United States Bid Germany, and because American lives were lost. j Senator Stone, chairman of the for eign relations committee, said after conferences with administration of-, flclals, that it was his impression tb it the Lusltania case was "practical settled." He did not go into details Secretary of State Lansing flatly de nied that new demands had been made In the Lusitania case when the Ger man government considered the neg tiatlons virtually at an end. He wa speaking of Berlin despatches quoting the references by Dr. Alfred Zlmmer man. German under secretary of f r eign affairs, to "new demands." "This government," said Secretary Lansing, "has not Increased the de mands made In the Lusltania case, at set forth in the note* of May 13„ June 9 and July 21. I doubt If Dr. Zimmer man ever made the statement tha new demands had been injected, be cause he must know that It is utter!; false." HAVE 1,429,171 CAPTIVES Btill Others of Germany's Prisoners Were Left In Austria. It was officially announced in Berlin that there are 1,429,171 pris oners in Germany in addition to those captured by the Germans but left In Austro-Hungary rather use up the transports in sending them to German soil. "Up to the present time," the state ment adds, "we have brought to Ger many 9700 cannon, 7700 mi!'tary car riages and 8000 machine guns which we have captured from the enemy. In addition to these guns we have cap tured thousands of others, which were destroyed by the enemy before they fell into our hands. "We have captured 1,300,000 rifles. The cannon and rifles captured by us were overhauled In Germany, placed In perfect condition and then given for use to the German troops.

ALLIES WERE DRIVEN BACK \ —— I Teutons Gain In Albania and Rout an Italian-Serbian Force—Mackensen at Monastir. An Athens despatch states that Bulgar troops are reported to have crossed the Greek frontier, and driven back the French forces In the first clash of the campaign against Salonl. ka. Advices previously received from Salonika had stated that only "advance guards were engaged in the action, but reports received by the Greek government Indicate, It Is asserted, that at least three divisions (36,000 men) took part. The Salonika correspondent of the Parln Temps in a despatch, however, states that rumors of a German-Bul garian offensive are untrue. The real fact, be declares, is that the Bulgars themselves are preparing against an offensive movement by the allies. The Salonika version of the clash described In the Athens despatch Is aa follows: j., "There was a skirmish Sunday be tween French and Bulgarian mounted patrols on the Doiran front at Salient 227, about a kilometer (five-eights of a mine) south of the front line. It resulted In two of the French troop ers being wounded. The Bulgarian casualties are not known. This was the first clash since the' allies retire ment to their new lines." An Athens despatch to the Milan Secolo says that French aviators re port continued concentration of a 1-; versary forces on the Greek frontiers. German reinforcements are advanc lng from Uskub to the northwest of Glevgelt, fresh German regiments have arrived at Monastir and Austrian forces are concentrating a'o ind Tchevlkovo. A Bulgarian division (12,000 men), says the despatch Anally has left Kustendil going southward, and the transfer of heavy artillery from Nlsh to the Bulgarian frontier Is confirmed. Field Marshal von Mackensen Is said in Italy to have assumod command ol the Austro-German army. He has es tabllshed his headquarters at Monas tlr. Meanwhile, General von Gallwltz has gone to Sofia, where he Is inspect ing The defences and the Intrenchei camp surrounding the liuk'arlan cap! tal. He is also looking over (he Bul garian fortifications along the Dan übe and on the Aegean sea. It Is con' sidered probable that von Ga'lwltz will command the Turco Bulbar force, that are to co-operate "wl*h the north ern armies In the drive en Salonika. > The Mail's Athens coi respondent states that despatched from an Aus source report that the Austrian: ana Bulgarians have Joined forces In Albania and occupied Rlhaason. They attacked a mixed Italian-Serbian force and compelled It to retire oa Fr, twelve miles north of' Avlona? Gthe despatches Indicate that fierce flg.t lng Is going on in the interior o! A banla between Christians and Mos lems. Albanian tribesmen and armet bands bave been recruited by the Bill garians and financed by the Austrian* and Germans. 82 MIDDIESJrtUST QUIT Large Number Who Felled at Examt Get Another Change. Eighty-two midablpmcn of the Na val academy at Annapolis have been asked to resign as a result of l e t failure to make an average of s'Tt> per cent In the mid-year examinations the navy department has announ e l As told, an unusually large number of cadets failed to pass In certain sub jects at the semi-annual examination" which have Just been concluded. The academic board passed on eac.i cue and recommended the dismissals t the secretary of the navy. When there , were extenuating circumstances in the Individual case, recc mmenda'l ,n . of dismissal was not m tde. It was reported a: first that aboo' 220 midshipmen, or almo-t cne-quar tor of the whole number at the acad emy, had failed to pass In cir a n subjects. The number In each class was ssld to be about as fol'ows; Klrsi or graduating class, twenty; second, fifty; third, sixty; fourth, eighty. While this number Is regarded at rather large It Is likely that many; who failed were not asked to beslgn owing to various circumstances. Shoots Wife, Kills Himself.

OPERATORS FOR SLIDING SCALE Mine Owners Are Against Bl- Yearly Contracts. OPPOSE SHORTER HOURS Declare Any Increan In Wage* Grant - ed Workmen Mu*t be Paid by Con lumen of Anthracite. The' anthracite operators after ■ a mettlng In Philadelphia issued j their reply to the demands or the union miners which were ratified by j the United Mine Workers of America at their convention held In Indian apolis a few days ago. The statement in part says: "The anthracite miners ask for a two-year agreement beginning and ending simultaneously with tbe agree ments In the bituminous llleld— a busi ness arrangement that Is shown by actual experience In the bituminous field to Uireatcn a bl-yearly distur bance of the peace and prosperity of the miners, operators and general pub lie. "The anthracite operators believe that the Industrial disturbances inci dent to bl-yearly contracts can be bet ter adjusted If the automatic method of the Bildlng scale, a profit-sharing pdan established by the comm'atlon (appointed In 1902 by ex-President Roosevelt) and abolished at the de mand of tbe miners In 1012, js restor ed. "The sliding scale guaranteed the miners a minimum wage, but granted them an Increase- of one per cent In their watte for each Increase of five centa a ton In the price of domestic coal at New York. "The operators hold that it Is their unquestioned right to make any change In the method of mining, or the conduct of their mining opera tlona which will secure additional safety to their employee or greater efficiency In their methods of produc i tion, provided that said change does not result In any reduction of wages to their employes below those rates established by the award of the an thracite coal strike commission. "The miners claim that food costs are forty per cent more than at the time the anthracite coal strike Com mission made Its award. Were this I the fact, the reports of the United States bureau of labor show that the cost of food represents forty per cent of the workman's cost of living for himself and his family. This would Indicate an Increase of only sixteen per cent In his total cost of living aa compared with an increase of over thirty-six per cent In his earning ca pacity. "To reduce the maximum niiml er of hours which a breaker may work each day, as demanded by {lie miners, will certainly reduce the capacity of the anthracite mines and will surely In crease the danger of a coal shortage st the time of year when an Increns ed production is required by the con sumers of coal. "The operators believe It better to abolish tbe grievance committees and return absolutely to the method established by the anthracite coal strike commission. The operators be lleve the rates now -pal l are fair, but If any adjustment Is necessary there Is no objection on their (.art to mak ing such changes as will give the ma chine miners the opportunity of earn Ing wages that are equitable as com pared with those of equivalent oecu patlons. "An any Increase which may be granted must necesssrlly be eventu ally paid by the heads of the fami lei and other users of anthracite, the op , erators, while declaring to deal Justly 1 with their employes, deem It their ■ plain duty to restrain any unreason able demands."

The British steamship Appam, which was supposed to have been tank, entered Hampton Roads in eharge of a prize crew from a Ger man vessel. The ship waa captured near the Canary islands. Survivors of seven Hrltlih ships, sunk by the German raider, are 'on board the Ap pam. There are more than 400 per sons, Including passengers, on the Appam. Seven Zeppelin airships flew over the middle counties of England, in what 1s reported as the most exten sive air raid yet made by the Ger mans. Scores of bombs were dropped and fifty-four persons were killed and sixty-seven injured. The German offensive in Flanders apparently has been checked. Berlin reports minor advances at several places along the battle line. Russian troops have driven back the right wing of the Turkish army In the Caucasus over a forty-mile front. WEDNESDAY. Athena is spreading a report that the Teutonic advance upon Salonika ia to begin February 1&. German despatches say Me Zeppe lins which raided England Monday night, dropped bombs on Liverpool. This claim Is Ignored in British offi cial utterances and denied in English newspapers. Information which has reached Lon don by wireless from Bucharest says that Rumania and Greece have signed a neutrality agreement. A Petrograd report says Rumania lias mobilized four-fifths of her army on the Hun gaiian and Bulgarian frontiers. lx>cal Russian successes at points all along the eastern battle line are officially proclaimed In Petrograd. THURSDAY. State department officials still are undecided regarding the disposition of the steamship Appam, captured by the Germans from the British and brought to Norfolk. The ship moved to Newport News to discharge 245 passengers who were captured on the ship. A demand for reprisals for the Zep pelin raid over the Midland counties of Enflland, Monday night, is spread Ing throughout Great Brlta'n. Prediction Is made by a London newspaper that the Germans soon will launch another offensive movement toward Calais. Austrian forces In Albania have ad vanced twenty miles south of Scutari. The Italians are reported fortifying Avlona as a military base. FRIDAY. Germany, according to Berlin des patches, has refused to admit that the sinking of the Lusitanla waa Il legal. The German attitude Is that to do so, she would have to forego the usefulness of her submarines. Both In Berlin and In Washington the situation Is considered as extremely grave, and a severance of diplomatic relations Is not unlikely. Petrograd hears y that the Turks have abandoned Erzerum, In Trans- Caucasia. A clash between Bulgarian and An glo-French forces Is reported from Macedonia, In which the Bulgars are aald to have been repulsed. Preparations for a vigorous offensive by both contending armies In France are Indicated In reports from and Paris. Successes at vsrlofis points along the eastern front from the Courland district to the Strtpa river are an nounced In Russian official state ments. SATURDAY. Berlin newspapers quote Premier Kalandra as speaking of a possible retreat from the present Italian front. The reslKiiatlon of Haiandra from the ministry Is a subject of conjecture. Bulgarian troops In Albania are re ported to have been checked New Austrian troops are said to have reach ed the Serbian borders near Salonika. A large number of new German aero planes have arrived on the Russian front, considerable air fighting Is re ported. Petrograd announces repulses of German attacks In local engage ments on the eastern battle 4lne. Berlin admits that the Zeppelin L-19, which was reported to have been sunk In the North sea, Is missing. The steamer Appam, captured from the British by the Germans, may be permitted to remain in an Ame-I can port until the end of the war. SUNDAY. The German war office reports that attack* at Newvllle and aoutb of La tlassee canal were repulsed. Reports from Paris say the British and French carried out a destructive Bombardment of German trenches at Boeslnghe, Belgium, and east of Sola aons. ' Franco-British troops operating In Kamerun, the German colony in west ern Africa, have driven 14,900 German troops across the frontier to Spanish Guinea, probably ending the entente campaign for this important German territorial possession. The Russian official statement says the Turks are being pressed bard In' the whole Caucasus front. Nothing new Is reported from the other thesi tree of war.
