GREAT ALLIED
ARMY IN SALONIKA
Kitchener Expected to Lead
6eneral Advance.
4500 SERBIANS CAPTURED
* • ——
Gsrmsns Sweep Southward and Bui
' garlana Say They Checked Engllah
and French Offensive.
It Is announced that before his de
parture for the Balkans Lord Kitche
ner held conferences in Paris with
Premier Briand, General Galllenl, the
war minister, and General Joffre, the
commander In chief of the Held
forces.
This has given confidence that the
near east campaign Is to be carried on
energetically and that despite the r»
fugfd of Greece to go to the defence
of Serbia, it is not too late to turn
the tables on the Invaders. A general
advance is expected to follow Kitch
ener's arrival.
Advices from Salonika and othel
points show that much larger forces
th£n were thought to be near the
scene are being landed and are pro
ceeding to points where it is believed
they can do the most good. Trooj
trains are continually leaving Saloni
ka, but so much secrecy is being
maintained that It is Impossible to
compute tbe number of men.
The French offensive against the
Bulgarians is reported as proceeding
surely but slowly because of the diffi
culties of the terrain in the sectoi
northeast of StrumiUa. The FTrencb
advance toward the north is said to
be contlnu'ng uninterruptedly with
a British contingent on the right
wing.. The capture of Kosjah and
Babuna Heytbs id reported.
A Sofia statement declares:
"Near Prllep, Krivolak and Strum
nltza we arrested the offensive of the
English and French and repulsed
them with considerable enemy loesea.
We captured many prisoners and vast
quantities of far material of at
kinds."
The Bulgarian statement also says:
"Our troops'operating north of tlx
Nlsava river have approached the
Morava valley and established neal
Parac in direct communication wltk
the German troopq who are advancing
from the north."
A force of 26,00tf Bulgarian* Is try

SCORES ALIENISM
AND SECTARIANS
Wilson Reproaches Those Dis
loyal to the Union.
IS OF 6RAVE CONCERN
The President In Explaining Defense^
Plans to- Manhattan Club, Con
demns Plotters.
When he outlined the artmlnlstrar
lion's plan of N natlonsd delense In his
address to the Manhattan club, at
the Blltmore hotel, In New York,
President Wilson solemnly protest
ed against "voices In America" which
"spoke alien sympathies* in a way
that has "given us grave concern In
recent months."
He added a solemn warning against
"another danger we should guard
against"—and this, he said, was tbe
"manifestation of religious and seo
tarlan antagonism."
These two passages In the -presi
dent's speech follow:
"The otaly thing within our own
borders that has given us grave con
cern In recent months has been thai
voices have been raised in Amerlcs
professing to be the voiced of Ameri
cans whioh were not Indeed and In
truth American, but which spoke
alien sympathies, which came from
men who loved other countries bet*
-ter than they loved America, men
who were partisans of other causes
than that of America and had forgot
ten that their chief and only allegi
ance was to the gfeat government
under which they live. These voices
have not been many, but they have
been very loud and very clamorous
They have proceeded from a few who
were bitter and who were grevlously
misled. '
"America has not opened its doors
in vain to men and women out ol
other nations. The vast majority ol
those who have come to take advan
tage of her hospitality have united
their spirits with hers as well as
their fortunes. These men who
speak alien sympathies are not their
spokesmen, but are the spokesmen
of small groups whom it Is high tlms
that the nation should call to a reck
oning. The chief thing necessary in
America in order that she should lei
all the world know that she Is prepar
ed to malntaih her own great posi
tion is that the real voice of the na
tion should gound forth unmistakably
and In majestic volume, in the deep
unison of a common, unhesitating ns>
tlnal feeling. I do not doubt that up
on the first occasion, upon the first
opportunity, upon the first definite
challenge, the voice will speak forth
la tones which no man can doubt and
with commands which no man dare
gainsay rfr resist.
"May I not say, while I am speak
ing, of this, that there Is another dan
ger that w eshould guard againstl
We should rebuke not only manifesta
tions of racial feeling here in Ameri
ca where thero should be none, but
also every manifestation of religious
and .sectarian antagonism.
"It does not become America that
within her borders, where every map
Is free to follow the dictates of bis
conscience' and worship God as he
pleases, men should raise the cry ol
church against church. To do thai
Is to strike at the very spirit and
heart of America. We are a God
fearing neople. We agree to dlffet
about methods of worship, but we sre
united in believing In .Divine-Provi
dence and in worshiping the god ol
Nations. We ire the chsmplons ol
religious right hsre snd everywhere
that It may be our privilege to give
It our countenance and support Tbe
government is conscious of tbe obli
gation and tbe nation Is conscious ol
the obligation. Let no n-an create
divisions where there are none."
The president, In speaking to the
club, wMch was holding Its fiftieth
anniversary dlnnsr, described the new
national defense scheme along the
lines already made public—tbe con
templated training of • continental
army of 400,000 citizens and the up
building of the navy, be promised, be
ing for defensive snd not offensive.

Amsrlcs Csnnot "With Complacence
Suffer Further Subordination ef Its
Interests," Bays Note.
The long swalted note to Great
Britain on British practices Interfer
ing with American trade was made
public. . .
In It ths United States serves not*
lee on Great Britain:
I—Thst1 —Thst it does not recognise as
isgsl and effective the British block-'
ade of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
%—That It cannot "submit" to ths
curtailment of Its nsutral rights by
meaaurea which are "admittedly re
taliatory and therefore Illegal.
I—That we muat "Inalet" the rela
tione between It and the British gov*
ernment be governed not by a policy
of expediency but by established
rules of international law.
4—That It unhesitatingly aaaumas
ths tssk of championing ths Intsgri*'
ty of nsutral rights snd will devote
Its energies to that snd.
The note ss a whole is a vigorous
denunciation of the British govsrn
msnt for tbe illegality of its measures
In regsrd to neutral shipping "without
juatlficatlon," "Ineffective," "Illegal,"
"Indefensible" snd "In violation of the
law of nations" ara some of this gov
ernment's characterisations of the
British practices.
Contraated with the notes to
many. In the submarine controversy
tile commuulcatlCßTte* Grejtt Britain,
howeras, esntelne no"Tlfifaaaa such
aa "strict neutrality," "will omit no
word or act" aad elmllar expressions
used by tbe president In pressing his
demands on Berlin. The note to the
London foreign office la dsvold of
impllcstlons such as were contained
In the German notes, of draatlc ac
tion by the United Btates la the event
thst tbs grounds of complaint are not
removed.
The note contains more than 10,000
words. It Includes smong other ex
hibits a long Met of neutral ships
which hsvs been lllegslly Interfered
with by tbe British. This list, with
the details In each caae, constitute
In effect, the Indictment against
Orest Britain on which ths note prop
er is based.
Ths note groups tbe causss for pro
test by tbe United Statee under three
beads. Under these are covered all
the acta which are held to have In
fringed upon American trade rights.
The three groups of offenses sre:
I—Tbe seizure and detention of
vAsels on tbs high ssss on mere eus
plclon.
2—The so-called blockade policy.
s—The5 —The unsatisfactory aad unac
ceptable character of tbe regulations
governing and tbe procedure of Brit
ish prize courts.
Ths Amertcsn protest on these
three grounds of complaint Is ssmm*
rlssd in tbe note as follows:
Bslisvs it haa conclusively shows
that the methods sought to bs employ
ed by Orest Brltsln to obtain aad
use svidence of enemy destination of
cargoes bound for nsutral porta aad
to Impose a contraband character
upon such cargoes sre without justi
fication; thst the blocksde epos
which such methods srs partly found
ed is Ineffective, Illegal and lndsfsns-
Ible; that the judicial procedure of
fered ae a means of reparation for
an International Injury la inherently
defective for the purpoee aad that
in many cases jurisdiction is sssert
ed in violation of tbs law of nations."
Tbs note sdds tbs additional wars*
lag that the United Statas "cannot
submit to tbe curtellment of its aeo
tral rights by thsss messures" or
"with complscency suffer farther
subordlnstlon of Its lights snd later
eats to tbe plea that the exceptioaal
geographic position of the en em lee
of Great Britain require or juetify
