ANOTHER MILL IS BLOWN UP
U. 8. Government Likely to Cancel the
Exequatur of Every Consular Offi
cial Implicated In Alleged Con
spiracy Wilson in Charge.
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 15. Within
twelve hours after It was reported
that the company had secured an or
der for 72,000,000 pounds of powder
for the allies, an explosion blew up a
mill of the Dupont Powder company at
Hagley, near here. JThe mill con
tained 300 pounds of powder. No one
was Injured in the explosion, which
occurred early in the morning.
Washington, Nov. 15. Cancellation
of the exequatur of every consular of
ficial implicated in the plots against
the neutrality of the United States
will likely be the first result of the re
newed nationwide investigation now
in progress. It is understood that
President Wilson favors such action
and, that it will be taken Bhould the
proofs now being sought by the agent
of the justice department and the se
cret service be as conclusive as the
reports now available indicate.
In connection with the declaration
of Dr. Jdsef Goricar that the German
and Austrian agents in the United
Slates have spent $30,000,000 In efforts
to destroy, tie up by strikes, nud oth
erwise interfere with the plants manu
facturing and steamships carrying
munitions for the allies, it is known
that an agent of the department of
Justice has secured a statement from
him regarding the facts be says easily
can be proved.
Wilson Directs Investigation.
These facts are now being investl
gated 'and a complete report Is to ,be
made direct to President WilBon, who
is directing the general methods or
the investigation.
- The president, it is understood ha"
made it plain to Attorney General
iJoiTufSr i"JhJBcutions should'tie"
undertaken wThout delay in every
' case where the evidence obtained Is
Bufllclont to warrant placing it before
a grand Jury. The administration has
now taken the position that there Is
no use in holding off prosecutions in
the hope that the persons interested
in closing down munition plants he-c
would voluntarily abandon their ef
forts. The reports of tho special
agents now investigating tho plot In
dicate that its ramifications extend to
evory section of the country. So wide
spread Is the conspiracy, It is stated
here, that the department of Justice
already has assigned 250 special
agents to investigate, and even now
has not enough men available.
Zwledlnek Denies Charges.
In connection with the suggestion.
that the exequatur of every consular
official implicated in any way in the
plot be canceled officials pointed out
that evidence that would convict tn
court Is not necessary to warrant sucn
action. The very fact that tho off)
clal Is believed to be implicated in any
movement that is intended to hamper
American Industries would be sufll
dent, the department of Justice savs.
Baron Erich Zwledlnek. In chargo
of the Austrian embassy, reiterated
hlB statement that Doctor Gorlcar's
charges are a "pack of lies" and
said that he will so demonstrate to
Secretary of State Lansing. Ambas
sador von Bernstorff is also expected
to call at the state department next
Monday to deny any connection of the
German embassy with any plot.

High expectations have been
aroused In London and Paris by ad
vices from Rome that Italy is going to
co-operate actively with the allies In
the Balkans. The Inference was that
Italy has decided to send troops to re
inforce the Anglo-French forces, but
whether these re-enforcoments will be
sent to Serbia or to the Dardanelles
Is a matter of speculation. '

SILENT ON ANC0NA HORROR

NEW COMMISSI!)
T0 BRING PEACE
Doctor Jordan Declares Continu
ous Mediation and Concilia
tion Will End War. .
TO HOLD MEETING AT BERNE
Proposed Commission, If Established,
Would Create Clearing House or
Center for Peace Discussions
Do Nothing Spectacular.
Washington, Nov. 15. In a formal
statement issued here, Dr. David Starr
Jordan, president of Leland Stanford
university, declared hl3 belief that a
permanent commission of continuous
mediation and conciliation, such as
he proposed to President Wilson, will
result in peace being brought about in
Europe.
Jordan's Statement.
Dr. Jordan's statement follows:
"There is not necessarily a definite
Idea that a Joint peace commission of
the neutrals could be established bo-
fore Christmas,' or at any time defi
nitely to be set, my remark to the
press being solely to the effect that
that period, traditionally and histori
cally devoted to tho interests of
peace, would bo a good time for think
ing it over. There Is, however, an un
official meeting of this kind to be held
at Berne, December 14 to IS, at
which time some dozens of the lead
ing advocates of friendly international
relations will be present, this meet
ing doubtless leading up to the estab
lishment of the more formal and per
manent commission of continuous me
diation and conciliation.
Act as Clearing House.
"The commission, ,lf established,
might not be successful in its main
purposes, though personally I feel
sure that it will be. It might not short
en the war directly, but it would cre
ate a clearing house and center for
peace discussions and for the hopeful
feeling of millions of people who are
sick and tired of collective murder
in every nation of Europe. It would
do nothing spectacular, its work would
be done in quiet and in patience, and
might even . not be directly, heard of
by' the public 'at large. Whether the
United States takes part in it in any
official capacity or not, however, such
a commission is certain to be estab
lished." GERMAN ADVANCE IS RAPID
Pursuit of Serbians Through Moun
tains Continues Capture 1,100
Prisoners and One Cannon.
Berlin, Nov. 15. Rapid progress by

bac, in the group of mountains south
east of Krusevac, has been taken. We

DR. GRllL'S GRAPHIC STORY
Gymnastic Ability Enables Her to Es
cape After She . Is Barred From
Boats Austrian Submarine
Continually Bombarded.
Paris, Nov. 15?'-Dr. Cecile L. Greil,
tho American woman who was a pas
senger .on the Italian liner Acona,
which was sunk in the Mediterranean
by an Austrian submarine, saved her
self by Jumping from the deck into a
boat, many feet below in the water.
Details of the escape of Doctor Grcil
and further news of tho manner in
which the Ancona was destroyed were
received here,
Doctor Greil had a hairbreadth es
cape from death. Her maid was killed
by one of the shells flrod from the
submarine. While the passengers were
piling into the boats the submarine
continued to bombard the ship.
Ship Riddled With Shells.
According to Doctor Grcll's story the
torpedo which finally settled the An
cona was not fired until the ship had
been riddled with shells.
"The weather was slightly foggy
at the time of the attck," said Doctor
Greil. "I was in the dining room of
the first-class passengers chatting
with friends when we heard the re
port of a cannon. Instantly there was
great excitement on deck. Officers
were shouting ordors and men and
women wero rushing from one side
to the other.
"I asked the ship's doctor what was
happening, but he did not know. '
"Through the fog I could see from
the deck a submarine lying about one
hundreds yards away. She was firing
heavily from two cannon one on the
forepart of the boat andjthe other at
the stern. . ! .
"I went to my cabin to get some
papers and there found my maid hys
terical Mu&.feaw Sh.jp tiiiar-
knecs, begging me to save her, I start
ed to reassure her, but our conversa
tion was interrupted by a shoil which
entered through the porthole, killing
the maid Instantly. Then I went on
deck and strapped a life belt about
roe.
"Boats were being lowered as rap
Idly as possible, all being tilled to
capacity." I tried to enter one of the
boats, but was told there was no
room. Then I tried to jsct into a sec
ond one with tho same result. Cross
ing the deck I saw a boat afloat.
Kept Up Bombardment.
"I gauged the height separating tho
deck from the boat, and being well
trained in gymnastics, Jumped off into
space. I tumbled into a boat, which
was a big, stanch, seaworthy one. End
was safe.
"During all this time the submarine
had kept up a steady bombardment
against the Ancona, not paying the
slightest attention to the fact that
women and children were in peril.
Once the submarine came In verv
close to us, and as it did so the fog
lifted and we could clearly seo the
Austrian flag, which was a new one.
"Finding It impossible to sink the
liner with their shcllB. the Austrlans
fired a torpedo Into, her.
"We rowed away from the ship,
and some h"urs later came upon a
heavily laden lifeboat, which was leak
ing badly. We took nine women mid
children Into our boat and took iht
other boat in tow.
"Women and children were weep
ing hysterically and screaming In
fear. Finally, however, we restored
order, but at sunset panic sprang up
ngaln. A black spot could be seen on
tho horizon, and tho cry went up that
another submarine was approaching.
Those fears were soon allayed, how
ever, for tho thing we saw was the
steamer Pluton, which had picked up
the signals of the Ancona and was
coming to our help."

Circuit Court.
The Morgan Circuit Court con
vened in regular session Monday
with Judge M. M. Redvvine and
Commonwealth's Attorney John
M. Waugh filling their respective
places. Judge Redwine's charge
to the grand jury was very
strong, especially as regards the
illicit sale of whiskey. Quite a
number of misdemeanor cases
have been tried and a number of
fines imposed. The felony dock
et is very light and up to the
time of going to press we have
not heard of any being tried.
We will perhaps be able to give
the court news more fully next
week.

Stella Cisco were united in
marriage in the parlor of the
bride's home at 6:30 a. m., Tues
day, Nov. 16. Eld. J. H. Allen, ofp..
Salyersville, was the officiating!
minister, using a simple but iny
pressive ceremony. Only the
families and close friends of the
contracting parties were present.
The bride is the oldest daugh
ter of Judge and Mrs. Allen N.
Cisco. She is a young lady of
many accomplishments, sweet
disposition and strong person
ality and is deservedly popu'ar
with a large circle of friends.
The groom is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. John D. Henry, of near
town, and is a young man of
splendid habits, steady, indus
trious, and possesses exceptional
business ability.
He has been Assistant Cashier
of the Commercial Bank of West
Liberty for a number of years,
and his obliging manner and
courteous treatment of patrons
has won him a host of friends.
The happy couple left, immedi
ately after the ceremony, for
Cincinnati where they will spend
a week or ten days, after which
they will return to West Liberty
for a short stay and then go to
Morehead where Mr. Henry has
accepted a position as Cashier of
the Morehead State Bank.
The Courier joins the host of
friends in offering congratula
tions and bidding them God speed
on the journey so happily ana
auspiciously begun.
