FORDITES MAY BE DETAINED
AT BRITISH NAVAL BASE
NEW YORK. Dec. 15.—The Forci
party steamer reached Kirkwall,
the jealously guarded British navai
base, probably the most extensive in
the world. Why the Pordites se
lected this port of call it is im
possible to say, and afternoon dis
patches from Great Britain indicate
that in consequence of their entry
to the naval base they may be de
tained indefinitely.
LONDON, Dec. 15.—London pa
pers adversely criticize the taste
which led the Ford peace party to
enter the British naval base at Kirk
wall, passing through the lines with
the peace party. They are still
there and their longer detention is
very probable.
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 15.—Sur
i prised amusement is manifested
here that the Ford peace party
should have selected the great
British naval base for their first
port of call in Europe. It is admit
ted that the authorities will detain
! them and they are likely to find
themselves in a serious predica
ment.
BERLIN, Dec. 15.—The arrival
of the Ford peace party in again
causing a resumption of the peace
discussions in the papers. It is now
assured that the peace delegation
will be assured safe entry and con
duct through Switzerland to Ger
many where according to the Lokai
Anzeiger, a semi-official organ, the;,
will be welcomed for their good an.:
well-intentioned offices in the direc
tion of peace.

MINNESOTA SPY THEORIES
ARE KNOCKED SKY HIGH
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.—Alt
the spy stories told of the Minne
sota have been knocked sky high
by the federal investigation thai
has been just completed.
There was no mutiny nor any in
subordination; there was no holding
of any prisoners in irons, nor dia
any of the crew damage the ma
chinery or any part of it.
An expert examination of the
boilers showed that they were de
fective, and the theory now is that
the Chinese crew which was dis
placed and which was substituted by
whitcmen practiced sabotage to
show their dissatisfaction with
their discharge.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.
There is immense satisfaction mani
fested in Germanist circles over the
results of the investigation of the
so-called Minnesota affair. The cap
tain denies having sent out any
story of any mutiny on board, and
it is now being demanded that the
source of these yarns be investi
gated so that the real conspirators
be discovered.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.—The
captain of the Minnesota aays that
the Chief Engineer reported to him
the first day out that they had not
been able to raise sufficient steam
since leaving port and that this con
dition grew steadily worse. The
firemen made every effort to do so
but the boilers wore so defective
this was impossible. There was ni>
plot.

FOOD SHORTAGE GROWING
ACUTE NOW LN
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 15.—Dis
patcher arriving free from censor
ship from Dutch residents of Ger
many states that the government
has brought in much food from the.
Danubian valleys since the Servian
campaign began, and still the food
shortage is growing daily more and
more acute.
Arrivals from Germany report that
this shortage is being evidenced on
all sides and is giving rise to just as
acute discontent among the work
ing classes. The government has
dealt very severely and summarily
with the food rioters. Some belug
sentenced for life while others ara
reported to have been executed.
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 15.—Three
Zeppelins have recently been acci
dnetally destroyed within the past
month.
LONDON, Dec. 15.—Bryce re
port* that fully a million Arme
nians have been destroyed.
BERLIN, Dec. 15.—The hesita
tion of the Bulgarians in invading
Greece is, fortunatoly for the Al
lies, due to the dcsiro to avoid
violation of the Bulgarian pledges
to Greece prior to declaring war
upon Servia. As it is recognized
that Greece lived up to its side of
the agreement, the Bulgars are de
termined to do their share.
LONDON, Dec. 15.—Unquestion
ably Germany not wishing to furth
er antagonize Greece, stayed the
Bulgars from an invasion; it is re
cognized here as good tactics.

ues this year produced in the agri

Greece.
PARIS, Dec. 15.—A German sub
marine was sunk yesterday near
Varna. Today a Turkish torpedo
boat was destroyed by the Rus
sians near the same place.
LONDON, Dec. 15.—The British I
War Office does not confirm the re
ported threatening position of the
Allied troops in the Balkans nor
are the earlier dispatches announc
ing the advance of Germans across
the border confirmed. A Greek die
patch stating that the Bulgers are
falling back lends color to the
British Salonika dispatches which
Monday announced tho rc-union of
the British with tho French after
heavy losses.
Berlin reports today arc silent as
to the Balkan fighting.
SALONIKA, Dec. 15.—The Allies
have transports here in large num
bers in case of necessity, but de
spite this preparedness they con
tinue to daily disembark troops
most of which are held in the vicin

from the line of communication
although the best of good fellow

Allies and the Greek at all times.

this matter, and it is admitted here
that they will present a very for
midable front to the nomination ot

CHARGE IS MADE THAT
MAJORITY WANT TEDDY
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—Tho charge i
is made that a majority of the '
members of the National Repbull
can Committee favor Roosevelt in
order to prevent any possible chance ]
of factionism within the party. It :
is declared that a number on the |
other hand also support Borah who 1
is not on very good terms with
Roosevelt.
The Chicago Tribune which
:harged that Taft was boosting
Roosevelt insists still that this is
he case despite the Taft denial.

)orted or boosted the Roosevelt do
nination it would be for the pur
>ose of seeing him certainly do
