LONDON, Jan. 12.
AffitwtHntF In thn 1ntnr fllanntrhna frnm
Mesopotamia the position of General Ayl-
Bier's column, which Is ndvnnclmr un tho
Bier's column, which Is advancing up tho
Tigris to the relief of Kut-cl-Amarn, Is
by no means satisfactory, for It rinds In
front of Itself a Turkish army greatly
superior In numbers. It Is evident that a
successful Juncture of the two Urltlsh
forces may prove difficult,
General Alymer Is still halted at Sheik
Baad, 3) miles from Kut-cl-Amnrn, but
tho halt la duo to weather conditions nnd
the necessity of romovlng the wounded
by river.
This announcement was mado In tho
House of Commons last night by J. Aus
ten Chamberlain, Secrctnry for India.
Urltlsh cavalry forces havo located tho
Turks six miles east of Kut-el-Amnra,
Mr. Chamberlain said. This Is the posi
tion from which tho Turk were original
ly driven by General Townshcnd In the
battle of Kut-el-Amara.
Today's reports, carrying the record of
tho Mesopotamlan operations virtually up
to date, make It appenr thcro wns no
basis for the unofficial reports from Con
stantinople yesterday that tho Urltlsh
mntn army wns retreating finni Knt-e'-JLmara,
where a forco of 10,000 men was
said to have been left to cover the re

ASKS TO JOIN SUIT
Continued from I'ase One
rnent was made thut he hnd been ousted
from office.
All of tho complntnnnts except Alfred
1. du Pont nnd Philip V. du Pont nro
children of tho Into Francis G. du Pont,
end not only are benoflclnrlen under his
estate, but also under that of Alexis I.
du Pont, their grandfather.
This estate also Includes mnny thousand
shares of stock In the powder company.
Tho trustso Is the Fidelity Trust Company
of Philadelphia, and ns mnny of tho
beneficiaries evidently consider It to their
Interests ns stockholders to beconio
parties to tho suit, the trust company
doubtless will be forced to tnke a stand
with tho complainants.
Should the trust company decllno to
become a party to tho suit, the bene
ficiaries aro empowered by law to peti
tion the coUrt to become parties to tho
suit not only ns Individual stockholders,
-but na beneficiaries under a trust which
they bellevo Is not bolng properly nd-
mlnlstered. Tho ousting of Alfred I.
du Pont has served to rully that entire
faction to his support, and array them
against the defendants.
The situation Is now critical. Alfred I.
du Pont has always been a moving power
In tho corporation and his Influence is
far-reaching. It was he who In IWiJ to.dc
over tho powder company when It wan
About to be sold to tho Lallin nnd Hand
Powder Company,
OAVE STOCK TO XIN.
At that time Alfred I du Ponl bro.ight
Pierre S. du Tont. now president of the
company, and T. Coleman du Pont, both
his first cousins. Into tho business, n-id
presented to each of them a Inrgs block
of stock; In the company.
Of the three, Alfred I, du Pont was the
only one experienced In the powder In
dustry and for that reason ho took over
the management of tho operative end of
the business, while his cousins attended to
the executive matters.
T. Coleman du Pont was elected presi
dent and Pierre S. du Pont wns elected
treasurer, and they retained these posi
tions until early last ear. when T. Cole
man du Pont sold all his holdings In tho
company and resigned his office. I'jerre
8. du Pont was elected to 1111 the va
cancy. Shortly after Pierre S. du Pont be
came affiliated with the powder company.
In 1903; there was an Inflow of new ma
terial into tho personnel of the corpora
tion, and it is Pierre S. du Pont and
these later arrivals who comprise the
13 members of the directorate who are
accused of fraudulently acquiring the
stock of T. Coleman du Pont through the
du Pont Securities Company at a time
when the powder company itself should
A
nave taken over these holdings.
Tho stock In question comprises C3.3H
shares of common and 11.593 shares of
preferred stock. It was purchased by
Pierre 8. du Pont and his associates for
about JH, 000,000, and is now worth four
times that amount.
The significance of this "deal" lies In
the fact that the stock thus acquired,
together with that Individually owned by
Pierre J. du Pont and his "associates."
has given them control of more than 40
per cent, of E. I. du Pont de Nemours &
Co. stock.
If the suit against the du Pont Secur
ities Company is successful the stock
acquired from T Coleman du Pont will
go Into the treasury of the powder com
pany at the price paid for It, and will no
longer represent a voting power for any
-faction. Such an outcome will not only
deprive Pierre S. du Pont and his asso
ciates of control of the corporation, but
will enhance the value of every share of
the company's stock about J200.
Those who have stood with Alfred I. du
Pont In the development are particularly
'angry over the recent action of the board
of directors. They assert that Pierre S,
du Pont In particular and the other d-i-endant
directors in general have given
an excellent example of the quotation rel
t(vo to the bitterness of the serpent's
?tji-la pooling their Interests against Al
fred I, tu Pont and then "adding Insult
t lojury" by ousting him from the vice

REFUGEES FLEE BEFORE
DULGARS TO SALONICA
Continued from re One
rlnns are driving the Allies buck toward
Salonlcn.
You can always believe him, this man
with his family, traveling out In the cold
and the mud, with the worried face and
the perplexed soul; he doesn't leave his
home and his farm until he must; until
the guns are booming and the shells are
ploughing his farm for him. When ho
goes jou may be Sure the enemy Is com
ing on behind him and that the army of
his country Is In retreat. I've seen him
In Onllcln, France, Italy, Serbia, Greece.
He has nover lied, Ills presence always
means "retreat."
Being a Serbian, his Christmas will
como on January 7. Small chance Santa
Claus will have to get down tho chim
ney of this man's home this year. On
the outskirts of Snlonlca this afternoon
men aro erecting tents, In a muddy field,
for the Serbian refugees nnd their
families. Within the last six weeks near
ly half a million dollars of American nnd
Urltlsh money has been sent hero for such
an emergency, nnd today, for tho drat
time, the money Is being put to use.
THANSI'OnTS I,nAVnHAItrJO!t.
The harbor of Salonlcn Is almost empty
of boats, though Usually It Is full. For
scvoral days id transports, loaded with
troops who had newly como to Snlonlca
and who had not disembarked, lay In thn
harbor. Now they have gone, troops and
all. No ono In Snlonlca knows where
l'eoplo nro speculating nbout the pov
i slblllty that the Allies may bo driven
' d'or back and out of Salonlca and foiccd
to leave Greece. It will tnke nt lenst
thrco weeks to got awny from Salonlcn on
shlps There are hundreds of tons of
wagons, cannon, ammunition, foodstuffs,
shovels, lumber, horses, portable house
nnd cntnp fittings to be loaded onto the
boats ns If 10,000 circuses rolled Into one
were moving. And there are tens of thou
snnds of men perhaps twenty of them
who must be cmbnrked If the Allies
should decide to withdraw.
If this thing should hnppcn, there will
bo thrco weeks full of fighting, the Hul
gnrlnni pressing ngnlnst tho Allied line
trying to Interfere with tho embarkation
Snlonlca. must be ringed with Allied
tt euches and Allied soldiers must be fight
ing to hold buck the Ilulgnrs while other
Allied soldiers work like bees at loading
the ships.
All this. If tho Ilulgnrs continue to
press on toward Snlonlca. Just at
present the allied retreat is In full tide.
The Ilulgnrs nre nenring tho borders of
Greece, not much more thnn 23 mites
from Salonlcn
To have n view of this CO-tnlle strip of
retreat: to hear tho llulgarlan guns boom
ing, nnd to stnnd bcsldo tho French nnd
Urltlsh guns as they answer; to sit be
side the temporary campflro of retreating
French Fotdlr-is and talK to them of homo
nnd of wl..c the future holds for them
and their country; to sleep In a tent be
side n railroad where, throughout the
night the thunder of trains carrying sup
plies and wounded soldiers back to the
safety of Salonlcn, shook the ground; to
cross bridges which wore "londed" wlih
dynamite and wcro to bo blown up within
21 hours; to chat with group after group
of stecl-cnsqued French Zouaves who
came, on foot, trudging slowly but stead
ily toward Greece, with grim faces, but
afTnblo greetings; to chat with Urltlsh
soldiers who knew that hc next day
would sec them moving In that direction

Thero Is play and fun mixed up In this
story, ns well ns tragedy and sorrow.
When the communiques use the blniplo
woid "retreat" or "retirement" they an
covering a vnst field of human activity
and human emotions, and to sec this
nctlvlty and behold the human emotions
nt work under such circumstances Is an
opportunity which, I believe, few war
reporters havo had In this war.
My experience began on the afternoon
of December 2 In the office of Gen. Sarrall
when he snld: "Would you like to sec
the allied front In Serbia?"
When I nnswercd In the affirmative he
put his hand on my shoulder nnd pushed
mo to ana side of tho room, where ho
had herded a few correspondents. After
ho hnd collected ub Into a favored group,
he said, rubbing his right hand through
his gray, curly hair: "Please be at the
railroad station at 7 o'clock in the morn
ing. An officer will be there to tako
charge of you. You shall Bee Krivolak,
where the I-Tcnch are fighting tho Bul
garians, and you shall also see tho Urlt

chance."
See tho British front! The British had
refused us permission. British fronts In
this wnr have been hard to get to. Every
Urltlsh officer, from Kitchener dewn, has
been against correspondents seeing the
British front. The fog of war had hidden
the British front moro than any other.
And now we're to see the British front

MENACE TO ITALY
HOME, Jnn 12.
The early fall of Cetttnje, tho Montene
grin capital, wns forecast In dispatches
received hero today confirming the news
that the Austrtnna havo occupied Mount
I.ovcon, "tho Gibraltar of tho Adriatic,"
dominating the roads to Cettinje and less
thnn seven miles awny.
Military evacuation of King Nicholas'
capital began Hundny, according to ad
vices received here. Thli new, preceded
n messngo from Borne, Swltzerlana, re
porting the fall of Mount i.ovccn.
Tho arsenal at Ccltlnjo ha? been disman
tled nnd everything of military valuo re
moved. Preparations wcro being male
Sunday to trnnsfcr tho capital, but Oio
now nent of Government hns not been

On all fronts tho Austrlans nro strik

which Is hnndlcnppod both by lack o(
equipment and by tho need of food bup
plles Mount Lovcen fell nrter nvo unys or

from the Austrlnn squndion In Cattnro
harbor, the harbor forts nnd lighter, Aus
trian nrtlllcry brought up to close range.
Tho bombardment blew to pieces tho first-
line trenches of tho Montenegrins on the
lower slopes, slaughtering hundrcdi of
Mount I,ovccn's defenders before they
could escape
A combined Austrian nssntilt cnrrlcd
the second-lino positions nenr the summit,
llnrrassed by a terrible flro from nrtlllcry
nnd mnchlno guns, tho Montenegrins wcro
pushed over tho summit, fighting des
perately after suffering enormous losses.
Cettinje stands on an elcvntlon nbout
2000 feet above the sen, completely dom
inated by Mount I.ovcen. nenrlv 1000
higher. In their retirement, nccordlng to
Ilcrnc dispatches, the Montenegrins were
unnblo to destroy or removo their heavy
guns which presumably are alrcudy being
trained on Cettinje.
"The Austrlans are ndxnnelng townrd
Cettinje. nnd the fighting continues," said
an ofllclal dispatch to tho Montenegrin
consulato today. "The Government ar
chives have been removed."
Tho capture of Mount I.ovchln not only
gave the Austtlans a dominating posit on
on tho Adriatic llttcrnl but seriously
menaces Italy.
Officials of tho Italian Government de
clare that tho Austrlnns must not bj al
lowed to hold. Montenegro, for ihls would
upset the balance of power on the
