Bulgarian troons are now within five
miles of the Greek border in Serbia,
a .Saloniki dispatch says. Both Dorain
and Gievgeli, close to the border, have
been evacuated by the Anglo-French
forces, according to the message.
An Athens newspaper declares that
Greek troops are moving toward the
Serbian border at a point where Bul
garian troops are preparing to cross
the boundary line and that the Greeks
apparently intend to dispute the cross
ing.
The Italian chamber of deputies has
voted confidence in the Salandrla min
istry. The vote was 391 to 40. It was
taken during debate on the bill giving
full financial powers to the govern
ment for six months.
British losses in officers from the
beginning of the war to November 2!J
lotalcd 21,171,. of which number 0,572
officers were killed.
Greek Situation Serious
The ditlicult effort of Greece to
maintain neutrality in Die face of the
allied retreat on Saloniki and the pur
suit of Bulgarians and Germans con
tinues to be the chief matter of in
terest at the entente capitals. The
latest decision of Greece, according to
Athens dispatches, is to withdraw all
considerable bodies of her troops im
partially from danger of contact with
entente troops in Saloniki and the Ger
lpanic allies on the northern front,
leaving only small groups of soldiers
for police purposes.
Whatever the future holds for!
Greece, her effort to clear her position
toward the belligerents seemingly dis
poses of any idea that the allied forces
on Greek territory are to occupy a
privileged position with anything in the
nature of open Greek support. The
Greek arms at Saloniki is to be re
duced immediately in numbers to as
f suro liberty of aetion to the entente
1 roops there. At the same time Greek
soldiers along the railway will be with
drawn to avoid complications when- !
ever Germans, or Bulgarians i
enter Greek territory. i
Kulgnrs Lose Heavily
So far as is known, the bard-fought
attacks on rhe British in 'Macedonia
ihus far have been delivered entirely
by Bulgarians, without German assist
ance. A dispatch to the Times says
ihe Bulgarians left more than 8,000
dead or wounded on the field after two
assaults on the British line.
"On the second attack," the dispatch
i-ontinues, "our combined fire of artil
lery rifles and rapid-firers was opened
on the advancing masses at a range of
about 500 yards. The Bulgarians faced
the murderous hail at a run for 500
yards, then broke into flight, which
quickly became a helter-skelter rout."
The possibility of various flanking
movements through Greek territory is
opened by the Greek decision to per
mit the country to become a field for
the belligerents. It is rumored, for ex
ample, that British troops already are
landing at Kavala, and that the first
detachments of Serbians have been
brought around from Durazzo, Al
bania, to Saloniki,
Discuss Food Problem
Allied squadrons continue to pay
close attention to the Greek coasts and
lestrictions on Greek commerce are
unabated.
In the other fields of activity there
are few developments of large impor
tance. Russian troops have defeated

MRS. GERTRUDE WEIDENMYER
The police are completely at a loss
concerning the whereabouts of Mrs.
Gertrude Weldenmyer, of the Foun

who disappeared November 30.
Whether she is in some hospital, has
committed suicide, or has been hurt in
an accident, the authorities and her
husband do not know. A search is
being made everywhere, and police de
partments of other cities are being
called upon to aid in the hunt for the
missing woman.
She was last seen in the Pennsyl

about 9 o'clock in the morning. The
railroad authorities and employes do
not know whether she was only rest

trains.
Mrs. Weidenmyer had been in deli

Sherlock Holmes, Jr., the man of

In restaurants, hotel lobbies and

man, and it is safe to say that when

When asked about the arrival of
Mr. Holmes, a gentleman arranging
for his appearance said:
"That Is hardly a fair question. I

date of his arrival, for that Is just
what we will not do. And, to be per

The case is one of the most baffling

Wormleysburg Grade
Crossing Case Laid

Special to The Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., Dec. 13.—Because of
the inability of one of the attorneys
to be presfcnt, the viewers appointed by
the Cumberland county court to look
into the advisability of closing tlio
grad.? crossing at Ferry street. Worm
leysburg, did not meet this morning.
The case may not be taken up until
the latter part of next week.
Persons who have been following
the case closely say they believe the
viewers will favor the closing of the
crossing If the railroad company will
widen the subway at. Walnut street and
give a substitute road for the. one
which would be closed. It is under
stood that when the proper time comes
some concessions are to be made.

NATIONAL G.O. P.
CONVENTION MAY
BE HELD EARLY
Sentiment Develops inNational
Committee For Meeting
Before Democrats
TO DECIDE TOMORROW
Many Favor Getting the Politi
cal Advantage; San Fran
cisco Wants Session
By Associated Press
Washington, Dec. 13. Sentiment
began to develop to-day in the Re
publican National Committee in favor
of holding the Republican convention
before the Democrats meet to choose
a Presidential candidate. The Demo
cratic convention will begin in St.
Louis, June 14.
The committee will meet in formal
session hero to-morrow to decide the
time and place for holding the Re
publican conventions. Members who
want an early convention favor having
the party get all the political advan
tage it can by holding the lirst conven
tion. Those who favor a date after
the Democratic convention contend
the Republican party should not frame
its line of attack until the Democrats
have made their nomination. Another
argument used against the proposal
for an early convention is that several
States hold primaries for the election
of convention delegates in June.
Talk about the convention city was
largely divided to-day between Chi
cago, St. Louis and San Francisco.
Philadelphia, some of the committee
seemed to feel, was virtually out of
the race. San Francisco showed
strength to-day that surprised many
members and it was understood that
St. Louis might throw her votes to the
Pacific coast city in case it was ap
parent that St. Louis could not. get the
convention. Much of the opposition
to Chicago is based on the fact that
it was there the party was split In
1912.
S. A. Perkins, of Washington,
was elected chairman of the committee
on calls, which frames the notice for
the convention. The committee and
Republican leaders in the Senate and
House met late to-day to consider the
reduced representation from Southern
States.
A majority of the committee was
said to favor holding the convention
early in June.
G. 0. P. Leaders Believe
Hughes Is Strongest
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C„ Dec. 13.—With
Republicans gathering in Washington
from all parts of the country for the
meeting of the national committee on
Tuesday, the one fact that seems to
stand out is that all talk centers on
i Elihu Root and Justice Hughes as
possibilities for the Republican
nomination.
There is no enthusiasm for Hughes
among the leaders. IThe idea of nom
inating him they found distasteful,
i but the fact remains that the thought
uppermost in the minds of most of the
| leaders is how to win and many of
| them, after reviewing the qualiflca
| tions of the long list of Republican
aspirants, acknowledge grudgingly
| that Hughes probably possesses the
j greatest element of strength.
i FIRST REAL SNOW
I HITS HARRISBURG
Two and a Half Ipch Fall;
Colder Weather May
Set In
Two and one-half Inches of snow
fell in the city and vicinity between
midnight and 11.30 o'clock this morn
ing, according to E. R. Domain, local
weather forecaster. It was the first
big snow of the winter and thousands
of youngsters hunted up sleds for the
opening of the coasting season. A light
snow is expected late to-day or to
night, followed by partly cloudy
weather, with no change in tem
perature.
Two storms, one centering near Buf
falo and the other off the Carolina
coast, caused snowfall over the Middle
Atlantic States. '
Little trouble was reported In the
city in train or trolley traffic. Street
cars lost a little time early in the
morning on the first trips, but they
soon regained schedule time.
The City Highway Department im
mediately after the snow had stopped
falling sent large forces of men and
carts over the city to open the cross
ings.

Tillman of the Naval Committee, ad
dressed the Senate to-day on national
defense and assailed what he charac
terized as the greed of private manu

Senator Tillman upheld Secretary

Department, and characterized as
"simply outrageous" critics of the de
partment, numbering among them
formei Secretary Meyer.
