Sltif Sine, yesterday eerved notice upon
Piitriet Attorney Frederick E. Weeks,
ef Weitchoeter, that he would not vio?

to him. In hit turn Mr. Week? served
notice upon Mr. Oiborne that unies?
be was willing to repeat all confession?
in?de to him he need not return to
the grand jury room on Monday.
The warden of Sinp Sinj- spent the
greater part of yesterday in court and
the grand jury room, and when he re?
tained to the prison last night he was
of the opinion that the grand jury
would not hear him again on Monday,
bo: would, a? a matter of fact, indict
him on charter of Immoral conduct
?imilar to those on which twenty-one
convicts were recently indicted.
While he was before the grand jury

on Greece?Seek Free
Hand at Sal?nica.
London, Dec. 10.?The Allies have
been driven from their positions
along the Vardar back into Greek
territory, according to Sal?nica ad?
vices received here to-night.
?onfronted by superior forces of
B?lgara and Gamuts, and threat?
ened by an outflanking movement
from Petrovo, ?.hey have withdrawn
down the railway.
Berlin asserts that the who'e of
Serbian territory has now been freed
of Entants troops, and Paris udmits
that tin: retirement may proceed as
far as ?Salonira itself.
A Router dispatch from Sal?nica
?ays :
"It - "eliably reported here that
German f. rces ander General von
Gallwitz occupieil Gievge?, on the
railway line a short distance north
of the Greek frontier, in Serbia. Fri?
day morning. The force includes
two divisions."
London I? Pessimistic.
The position ?if the Allied forces
in Greece furnishes the chief subject
for discussion In the Ixmdon morn?
ing newspapers. Optimistic official
statement! failed to persuade the
press anil the public that the situa?
tion is nut serious. It is generally
admitted that no alternative to th??
withdrawal of the Allied forces to
Sal?nica exists, ami some papers,
notably "The Weekly Nation." goes
so far as to ailvocate ''??embarkation
of the troops while freedom of move
ment il still possible rather than to

BL.AME PUT
ON BRITISH
Safe Passage Asked for
Diplomats?Allies May
Require Pledge.
The Kaiser personally hss re?
called Captains Boy-Ed and von
rapen. The announcement by Am
baaaaaaVw von Bernstorff caused much
satisfaction in official circles in
Washington. But the pos.sil-ility of
more complications in the case is not
yet removed. Berlin may see lit to
tell the United ?States that it does not
brgteve Washington's action was jus?
tified.
Moreover, the negotiations in the
Lusitanas and the I rye cases are
?til] perilling. Untii they have been
settled, Washington says, a break
with Germany is still a possibility.
Of Austria, fhe Unite?! States has
asked pledges which (iermany up to
now has refused to give. The All?
oma note, according to well estab
lished rep?irts from Washington, was
in effect an ultimatum, and was in?
tended for Berlin as well as Vienna.
The crisis in the Austrian nego
tintions has now l>een reached.
Wh??ther Germany's concession in
the Boy-Kd cane ia an indication that
Vienna, too, will yield promptly, is
the question on which Washington
sp??culated last night.
' I'r'-n liai Trts.r,.? nir*?an.l
Washington, Dec. 10.? The Cer?
n?an Kmperor sent word through his
ambassador here to day that Cap?
tain?' Boy-Kd and von Papen ha?i
been iinomditionally recalled. At
the same time he asked that th??
! Dfted States use its good offices
with the Allied governments; to in?
sure their safe passage to Cern?an y
ami the passage of their successor?
to this country. Secretary Lansing I
authorized the following statement: .
"The German Ambassador has in- /
formed me that the Kmperor has
been pleased to recall Captains von
Papen and Boy-Kd, in compliance
with the nilhes ef the United
states."
The announcement follow?*?! the
visit of the ambas-iid? r t.. the State
Department late this afternoon. He
was with the Secretary only a few
minutes, and left a formal memoran?
dum announcing the Kai-.-r's de?
cision.
Th?? State Department will take
?; toward obtaining safe con?
duct for the new attach?s until they
have been designated and are known
to be acceptable. Kfforts already are
being mad?* through the Brit i -h Km
baggy to h,MTB th?? aa/i passage of
the recalled attach?-, but as the r*>
<|uest will have to be cabled to Ix>n
don it may be several days before
their fate is known.
May l.emand Pledge Not to Fight.
It is said that either Great Britain
or France, or both, may demand
that if Captain Boy-Ed and Captain
von Bapen leave the United States
they must go under parole, giving
their word not to take part in th?j
?;??. in Kurope.
The State Department considera a
formal safe conduct superfluous in
the case of diplomatic officers, ami
will probably insist on their de
?.artui'?, even if the British govern?
ment refuses the request In Ger?
man quarters, however, it is inti
mated that this action wili be re
sisted, on the plea that Great Britain
is reckless of international law and
the men would not be safe iron
capture.
The possibility of further friction
over the affair is not remote. Strong
indications were given to-night th?'
.-.;.? believes the dismistal of
?? | Yd a:?,i Papen traa founded .??
