I, - London reports Monday: The Brit ish public Is not inclined to grant the German contention that the Serbian campaign of the central powers has been brought to a successful conclu sion. The hope le expressed that the wintry weather will give time for re inforcing the Anglo- French troops until they are etrong enough to aa- eume (he offensive before thd-invad ers have consolidated their positions in Serbia. Russia also is content on to play a part in those operations. In the meantime the only actlvd military operations seem to be cen tering around Monastir, the fate of which Is obscure The many contra dictory reports vary from the asser tion that the city la still in the hands of the Serbians to the claim that the Bulgarians, accompanied by detach ments of Austrians and Germans, have occupied the city. Farther Jo the north it Is reported that the Serbian armlet divided Into two sections, are retreating Into Al bania and Montenegro. It Is not yet apparent whether Austro-German forces are to be sent against the Anglo-French lines north of Salonlkl, but at the extreme end oif the Balkan trout the Montenegrins are expect ing a heavy attack from the Aus- trians.

The astlon was taken by the Cana dian grain commission under the war act The wheat eetxed was grades one, two and throe northern, it was the property of grain shippers and millers. That taken is all the wheat which Saturday was in public .eleva tors. A revised estimate placet the amount at about twenty million bushels. A considerable amount Is tbe property of American grain deal ers. The grain was taken Saturday night so that grain exchangee would be affected as little as possib!<v It Is stated officially that tbe price will be fairly adjusted and the owners will be promptly paid by the Cana dian government. The domestic supply of Russia Is more than sufficient to meet tbe needs of that country. Had tbe Dar danelles been forced the surplus of Russian wheat would have made the present action unnecessary. While the wheat Just taken was commandeered to fill an order from the British government for a large quantity of wheat. It Is understood that most of It will be shipped to Italy. The Canadian government will look after the transportation to the Atlantic seaboard, and from there shipment across the Atlantic will be undertaken by the Britioh govern ment In the same way that oats and hay have beea handled for the past year.

A Turkish submarine stopped the British passenger ship Rsro- los in the Mediterranean after twenty-five psenongw had beea drowned and helped reacne many of the two hundred fifty pae- ■angers who had gone overboard, according to Eleanor Franklin Egan, an eye-witness, who arrived in New York Sunday on the steam ship New York. The Barulos, according te Mrs. Egan, who Is a writer returning from a six months’ trip through southern Europo, left Plareus for Alexandria October 2. The ship flew the Brit ish flag but her craw was Greek. The passengerc, mostly third class, were chiefly Greeks and Orientals. When about five hours south of Crete, the ship picked up two boats containing tho crew of the British steamship Bailor Prince, which had been sunk by a submarine. The Baruloe, Mrs. Egan said, ear ned only four lifeboats, each with • capacity for thirty persons. Excite ment fo'lowlng the picking up of the crew of the Bailor Prince was at fever heat when euddenly a subma rine came to the surface about two miles distant and fired a shot over tbe Barulos. “Instantly a wild panic broke said Mrs. Egan. “Led by the tbe fire room force, the rushed for the boat#; wo men, unable to get to the boato, threw their children Into the sen and jumped after them. Frightened sail ors cut tbe ropes bolding the boats, sad when the boats crashed into the water three of the six were ped and emptied of their bamaa WARSHIPS GO TO CHARLESTON Ten Gray Battleships Sail From New York Monday Morning.

On her deck I sew a number of men with an officer whom 1 took to bo an Austrian. Tbe submerelble had her collapsible lifeboat out, and the submarine crew were pulling peo ple out of tbe water onto her decks. Tbe effleer was bolding up hto *- shouting to the people la tbe water to be calm. I beard him to perfect English: ‘For God's sake go back to your ship. We are not murderer*.' By this time I worked my way tome distance from the ship and was pick ed up by one of the life boots. “The first of tho panic over w* rowed back to the Baruloe and wore taken aboard. Women and children, many In a half downed state, wore crowding the dock of the submarine, which remained alongside. When all the rescued were returned to tht Barulos a tell showed that twenty- five were mlselng, fourteen children, seven women and feur mo*:. Two of the latter were British srllors from the Sailor Prince, who lost their lives diving overboard rercUng children “In addtiion to the twenty-flv* drowned many were wourded. Sev eral were taken into the submarine and treated by our chip doctor, who went aboa;d at tho Invitation of tho subm'.rino commander.” Mrs. Egan said she witnessed many heartrending sccno.. "One woman,” she said, “who had lost her three children by throwing them overboard, wont stark mad. In tho steerage was a troop of’ Japanese acrobats. One of them, a woman, with an Infant, was seen almost ex hausted trying to cling to tho sldee of tho ship. A ropo was thrown Into her hands, but looking up, she ex claimed in English: ‘Don’t mind'me 1 belong to no one, and have no one to care for me. Help some one else.’ “With those words sho passed the rope to another woman and, with her babe in her .•.rms, sank. “The rescued Britich sailors prov ed heroes. They not only tried to quell the panic but rescued many persons. “Only one shot was fired by tho submarine. Sho rem*ilnod alongside for five hours or until all possible rescues had boon made and the wounded had been attended." She then disappeared under the water and we proceeded to 'Aloxandria without further incident. “I did not learn her name or des ignating number but she was ono of the largest boats of- her kind I have ever seen. Tho captain of the Sailor Prince told me that ho recognised her as the one that had sunk his chip .some hours previous, although at that timo, he said, she flew the Austrian colors. Her deck armament consisted of two twelve-pounders, which were In plain eight. The Sail or Prince, her captain said, was given twenty mlnntes to get her crew into the boats before she was sunk by nihe shots fired Into her hold.” Available shipping records do not contain the name Barulos. This may be due to frequent changing of Barnes and renaming of ships captured in the war. sone. Old.

The secretary pointed out that the matter could not become a subject for cognizance of the atate depart' ipent unless it were proved that Cap tain Boy-Ed had knowledge of the false registration which Hamburg- American line agents are charged with having made, in order to get clearance for their vessels. State de partment officials do not understand that Captain Boy-Ed Is so charged. Secretary Lansing holds, that the arrangements lo supply belligerent vessels at sea was not a violation of law unless IT also were proven that the same Warship at sea “Was repeat edly supplied from American ports. No proof to that effect Is In posses sion of the state department. It was admitted Wednesday, how ever, as possible that the trial may develop Information to reopfen the subject so far as the state depart ment Is concerned. It was pointed out, however, that the state depart ment to ask for the recall of any dip lomatic officer doee not require legal proof of any violation of law, but can always act on the general princl pie of obnoxious activity. * I Ltls ^nd by oat '.mated.
