IN PATH OF AUTO
Plotters Plant Dynamite
in Road on His Estate
?Gardener Finds It.
POLICE FEAR NEW
!. VV. W. OUTRAGES
Guards Watch Oil Man's Home
?Attack Believed Aftermath
of Bayonne Strike.
An attempt to kill John D. Archbold.
pre?ident of the Standard Oil Company
of New Jer??y, ?vas frustrated Satur?
day afternoon by the finding of a dyna?
mite bomb concealed in a wheel rut of
tl.e ?outh road on his country estate at
Ml South Broadway, Tarryto?vp. The
plotter! evidently figured that Mr
Archbold's chauffeur would drive his
limousine over the north road to the
front entrance of the house. Then, af?
ter the Stnndard Oil capitalist had en?
tered the mnchine, the chauffeur would
dii?o down the south road, and a
crunch of the heavy wheels would ex?
plode the bomb.
All this mii*ht have happened, the
Tarrytown police say, if Mr. Archbold
had left h:s estate in hifl automobile
Saturday morning. Hut he didn't, and
he bomb four - | lamite with
percussion caps in a yellow paper bag
was picked up at | o'clock p. m. by
John Wahlquist, the head gardener.
The police are investigating the
theory that this attempted attack on
Mr. Archbold marks a renewal of the
anarchistic and I. W. W. antagonism
BgaJast the Standard Oil interests. In
the early summer of 1914. follo?ving
troublo in the Rockefeller mines In
Colorado, the nnnrchi.its bombarded
Tocnntico Hills, John D. Rockefeller's
country home, for several weeks.
I
Would Have Kxpltided.
Now, a few months after the Hnyonne
strike, in ?vhieh employe? of the Stand?
ard Oil Company sympathized ?vith the
Tide Water Oil Company's .?-triker?, a
bomb has been planted on the Archbold
estate, which il only three mile? from
1'ocantico Hills. For more than a year
tho Sleepy Hollow district, famous for
its magnificent country homes of mill?
ionaires, has not boofl disturbed by the
anarchists. Hut yesterday the Tarry
tiiwii police bogara to get busy running
down the clews that became so familiar
to them in I'.M-l. And, for the tir?t tiflae,
four guards were stationed nround the
Archbold estate las! night.
That tho i-omh was placed in the
automobile roadway gome time Friday
night is the theory of the police. They
be - re that ti.e pli tie;-., aaoahad up
from tho railroad tracks and had no
diflleoltj in gaining entrance to the
Archbold property through a rear en
traaee.
They expected, the police say. that
Mr. Archbold wo.ild probably leave his
home to run doivn to New '?ork Satur?
day morning. Chief Bowles, into whose
COStodf the bsflah was delivered, said
m-- night that the weight of the auto?
mobile would undoubtedly have ex
ploded the dyaaraite.
Wahlqaist, the gardener, happened *o
. ..I iti.- yellow papel bu.: while he was
cleaning up the yard on Saturday after?
noon. Ho pulled il ou' of the ??heel
rut ?vith a rahe, opsasd it and found
the explo-.ive.
Nothing was said about his discovery
until thai evi-ning, when Mr. Archbold
arrived at Tarrytown on his yacht
Vixen. At first the oil man was in?
clined to hush the matter up, bal ??hen
? -ninded him of the ?e
rioosneaa oi the plot he consented to
the police. Chief Howies and
! is men made a careful examination of
the grounds on Saturday night.
Two Men Near Estate.
Fire ( hief Thomas Folcy has report?
ed to the police that he noticed two
-.rangers mar the Archbold property
on two nights last week. He was ivalk
lag down South Broadway, he say?,
??he:i he saw a lull man jump behind a
telephOBO pole. After watching the
o.an for .. while ??nef Folcy concluded
that there was nothing suspicious
about him ar.d ??ent on his way.
Archbold estate is one of the
of the millionaires' country

BLAME TO BRITAIN
Families of Victims Asked to
Sign Statements in Return
for Indemnities.
llr Ttlnrilh Is Th? TrlMir.? 1
Washington, Nov. 21. -Germany has
agreed to pay to the United States an
indemnity for the 115 American live?
lost when the Lusitania was torpedoed
by ? German submarine last May. Ger?
many, however, rofUSOS to apologize to
the Paitad Btatoi for the sinking of the
liner.
This information was receive,1 to?
day from a source of unimpeachable
authority ?: transpires that Count
von BemstortT. the Herman Ambassa?
dor, offered the indemnity at hi.s con?
ference vith Secretary of State I.a::
s.ng last week.
At the some time he transmitted the
refusal of the German government to
make the disavowal demande ! by Pres?
ident Wilson. 1? is said by person?
conversant with the Lusitania negotia?
tions that the Berlin government is
Booking to unload some of the moral
responsibility on Great Britain.
!' il stated that families which los
members on the Lusitania have been
approached by emissaries of the Ger?
man government with a proposal to
sign a statement that they regard the
British government fully as liable as
Germany for the killing of American
passengers on the liner.
The Germans maintain that Great
Britain shares in the responsibility
for the destruction of the Lusitania..
because the British government insist?
ed on transporting war muni' ons on
a passenger vessel carrying Americans.
In one instance it is alleged that a|
father and mother who lost a son on ?
the Lusitania were informed by the
G.'rman emissary that if they would
sign the declaration stating that the
British government was equally as re
Sponaihle as Germany they could name
the amount of indemnity for the loss
of their son and It woui.l be naid at'
once by a high German official in thii
country. The couple showed the ag? r.
the door.
German Embassy officials deny that
any agent is submitting propositions
of this character on behalf of the Ger-;
mar. government.
It transpires that the offer to pav
'an indemnity for the 115 Americans
lost on the Lusitania irai ?ads to Mr.
Lansing by Count ron Bernstorff with
out reservation. No question of arbi?
tration il involved in the phase of the
matter pertaining t?> reparation.
The ambassador ami the Secretary
of State did BOl diaCUSS the amount
of the prono <-<l indemnity. it is
known, however, that the German KO*
ernment contemplates an offer of $6,000
for each American life lost a total
of ??T.'i.000.
The raaeoa thai Secretary Lansing
and Count ?.on Bernstoraff did not en?

ALLIES WILL LIFT TRADE BLOCKADE
IF GREECE CARRIES OUT HER PLEDGES
-
Paris, Nov. 21.?The Athens correspondent ol the Havas
j News Agency, in a dispatch filed yesterday, confirms the report
that the Entente powers have declared a commercial blockade of
Greece. The announcement, made in the form of a note issued
by the British Legation at Athens, follows:
"Because of the attitude taken by the Hellenic government
in regard to certain questions touching closely the security and
liberty of action to which the Allied troops have the right under
the conditions of their discmbarkment on Greek territory, the
Allied powers have deemed it necessary to take certain measures
which will have the efi'ect of suspending the economic and com?
mercial facilities which Greece has received from them hereto?
fore.
"It is not the intention of the Allied powers to constrain
I Greece to abandon her neutrality, to maintain which, in their
I eyes, is the best guarantee of her interests. The Allied govcrn
! ments have been somewhat disturbed by certain allusions to
eventual measures which, if taken by the Hellenic government,
would appear to them to be contradictory to assurances they
have received.
"As soon as their doubts on that subject?due, no doubt, to
a misunderstanding?have been dispelled, the powers will be

NOVIBAZAR LOST,
SERBS PREPARE
FOR LAST STAND
Final Ba*tle Expected at
Kossovo, Where Turks
Won 600 Years Ago.
[Bt CMMS It Tti. tlmOOt |
London, Nov. 21. The disintegration
of what was Serbia is now practically
complete. With the capture of Novi
baxar, less than twenty-five miles from
?lie Montenegrin border, announced by
Berlin to-day, and the further advance
of the Bulgars towar?! Monastir, little
territory remains for the S'.'rbs to
light for.
Only Mitrovitza, the last stopping
place of Kir.g Peter's itinerant capital,
and Pristina remain in Serb hands, and
their fall is imminent. Already the
Germans ate I sttori ig at the entrance
to the Lab Valley, up which lies Pris?
tina, while the Austrians are rushing
tro?>ps through the Sanjak toward the
temporary capital.
Just .south of Mitrovitza on the
plains of Kossovo, it is believed the
Serbs are preparing for the final stand.
With their retreat cut off by the Bul
gar occupation of t'?kub and Babuna
I'ass, they can do little else than ac?
cept the gage of battle.
And as Serbia rallied to tin? appeal of
K :?.'' Peter before the Austrian mena??
last December, so Kossovo, with its
memories of Lazar ami the extinction
once before Of Serbian independence, it
is hoped may incite the Serbs to fresh
eourngo.
kossovo an Ancient Battlefield.
On this sam?- plain, in 1389, the
Serba, andar the gallant Czar Lazar,
made their last stand against the Turks
and Moslem domination of tne Balkans.
They lost, and in the battle the flower
of Serb aristocracy fell, together with
the King an?l the Turkish Sultan, Mu
rad I For nearly a century Serbia re?
mained directly tributary to the Turks,
and for almost six hundred years their
menace hung eonstanUy over the
Serb?.
1 hat the Serbs have already succeed?
ed in joining 'he Montenegrins is indi?
cated in an official announcement from
I ttil |e given out to-day. Little effec?
tive lighting power, however, can be ex?
pected from this union, as Montenegro,
without railroads and shut off from the
sea by difficult mountains, has scarcely
food an?l supplies to support her own
troops and population.
Many Serbians, discovering that
their situation was no better than be?
fore, Berlin says, have recros-ed the
frontier ar.d surrendered themselves to
the (?ermans as deserters. It is said
that more than 26,000 Serbs in the last
week alone have thus given them?
selves up
Conditions in the mountains through
which the retreat is being conducted
are almos* impossible. The roads ar>>
covered with several feet of snow, in
which the troops wade up to their
knees, while guns, even of the light?
est calibre, can be dragged along only
with the greatest difficulty. The cold
also is intense.
Women Accompany Troop?.
Vast numbers of women and chil?
dren, together with ox carts laden with
household goods, accompany the Serb
armies, making the problem of retreat
more difficult and progress slow. Eacn
town that is reaeh?-d is systematically
ransacked for food supplies, so that
the Germans lind it absolutely stripped
of anything edible.
Yet, despite their hardships, the
Serbs are still fighting desperately ac?
cording to the testimony of German
correspondents accompanying von
Mackensen's troops.. Even in places of
considerable danger, like the Lab V?i
ley, where the Germans are now seek
ing entrance, the resistance is stubborn
and persistent.
The French and the British in the
south have been powerless to aid the
Serbs or extricate them from their dan?
gerous positions. Paris announces
quiet along the whole front, but it is
evident that the problem of the Allied
commanders now is not so much the
saving of the Serbs as of their own
armies.
With the Bulgar occupation of Prilep
and of Monastir, com rning the fate
of which there is still contsderable
doubt, the left flank of the Allied ex?
peditionary force is placed in extreme

Tokio, Nov. 21. -The keenest ?nteres

have been made to t'hina to induce he

Be Reached.

OF INVASION

Ships Searched.
I By CaM? to Th? T-ltmc J
London, Nov. 22.?Close on tha
Allies' demand that Greece join
with them ami fulfil her treaty ob?
ligations to Serbia or demobilize- a
demand backed by the blockade of
Hellenic ports?has MOM a demand
from Germany that Greece disarm
any Serbs or Allies who retreat
ncross her border or face a German
invasion.
Between these demands Gr?e?-??
must now make a choice?and
choose at once. King Peter's forces
are making their last stand before
Monastir. A retreat into Greece
MMM now to he inevitable. The
Greek Cabinet has been tn session,
and an announcement of n detinite
stand is expected to-day.
To impress on the Greek King
that they intend to follow their
words with action, the Allies de?
clared their commercial blockade of
the Hellenic Empire. This an?
nouncement was made In dispatches
received from Athens Saturday and
was confirmed in further messages
yesterday, which quote the declara?
tion as stating thHt as soon ai
Greece shows she has decided to
stand by her assurances to the Al?
lies the blockade will be lifted.
Germany Make* Threat.
The Allies ask safety and free?
dom of action if they or tho Sems
are forced to retreat into Greece.
Hut the German Minister of For?
eign Affairs has informed the Greek
Minister at Berlin ?hat in the opin?
ion of the German General Staff
Greece must undertake tc disarm
any Serbs or Allies who cross the
border if she would have her neu?
trality respected by the Teutonic Al?
lies. Otherwise, says Berlin, the
German an?! Bulgarian armies
would be obliged to pursue their
enemies into Greek territory.
"The Morning Post" says it is in?
formed on good authority that there
is every likelihood that the Greek
government will agree in every de?
tail to the conditions laid down by
the Allies with reference to the
safety of their troops now operating
in the Balkans.
"The Times's" correspondent at
Athens says ho learns that Karl Kitch?
ener's conference with Kin?; Constantin??
and Premier Skouloudis had the good
result of warranting more favorable
riovs re par?! in if tho prospect of a set?
tlement of the question of the treat?
ment of Kn'tnte Allied troops if they
arc forced into Greek territory.
The Greek government has again af
flr-xtd it. friendliness to the Allies, but
th? Allies ask more. Tbty demand
steps which shall show conclusively
that Greece is ready to maintain a?
least benevolent neutrality toward theea
and that she will not be counted among
the friends of the Central Powers.
Kitchener Took Firm Stand.
That Lord Kitchener took a firm
ftand In pointing out to King Conetan
'tine what the Allies could and would
do is now certain. None of the details
of the interview are known yet, but
London is sure that the British War
Secretary made plain Doth to the Greek
King and to the Premier, whom he vis?
ited later, that drastic measures would
follow a refusal to comply with the
Allied demands.
An athens dispatch to the Haves
agency says:
"After Premier Skouloudis called on
Lord Kitchener, th" British Secretary
for War, at the British legation yes?
terday, the field marshal had a two
hours' conference with General Dous
manis, ehief of the Greek General Staff,
and Colonel Me taxas, chief assistant
on the General Staff, at which the of?
ficers accompanying; Lord Kitchener
were present.
"Great importance is attached to this
conference in political circles. The
government orjran "Embros" affirms that
the King and the Greek government
yesterday gave Lord Kitchener formal
assurances that Greece in no ease
venid take measures hostile to the
Quadruple Entente and that a couneili

"The 'Kmbros' adds that those who
had the opportunity of oeein? Earl
