CHICAGO Nov. 18 .— Coroner
Hoffman today received an official
report from one of the staff of tin*
German-American hospital recom-
mending the issuance of a permit for
the burial of the mishapen body of
Vho Bollinger baby which died last
night. Meantime mr.ny persons op-
posed to Dr. Halselden’s course in
permitting ihe child to die without
an operation were circulating peti-
tor.s demanding that the medical
authorities take steps to revoke Dr.
Ilniselden's license to practice medi-
cine.
Health Commissioner Konerison
today frankly said he believed ac-
tion should be taken to prevent fur-
ther practices of this kind. He flat-
ly refuseed to issue a burial permit
explaining that if the coroner’s office
recommended it he must grant one.
The mother was told today of the
baby's death by tfer husband shortly
before neon. She has not seen the
body and it will never be shown

AMSTERDAM Nov. 18.—Both
the northern and southern Serbian
armies are in danger of capture
bodily. The best they can hope for
is a chance to abandon Serbia to
the invaders. There is still a pos-
■ibilitv that the northern army may
slip into Montenegro. The'southern
army has a better chance to get in-
to Albania. The northern forces
would probably meet with a Dot re-

WASHINGTON Nov. 18 —Secre-
tary Daniels announced today that
i plans are being considered for gov-
| ernnient ownership of every element
| connected with battleship building
because a •'most serious situation
1 lias arisen in the national defense
program.”
Daniels said the plan Included
f overament owned or leased iron
Feld ship building yards armor
plate factories and all else needed
in ti e construction of warships.
Briefly the situation that Ameri-
can steel plants are busily engaged
it the profitable industry of sending
munitions and other supplies abroad
and refuse to pause to assist in
building I'nited States battleships.
Daniels' announcement followed
r.divces front three private plants
that they were delayed in filling
consignments abroad and could not
consider furnishing any battleship
applies. Daniels commented caus-
tically.
"Tht«e plants a'e now engaged in
such a profitable business abroad
teat they leave this country to await
their convenience. I ant trying to j
find out the co t for equipping the
Mare Island and Philadelphia navy
yards so they may turn out the two I
battleships if necessary. The cost
o.' the Philadelphia navy yard will
be about $200000 and even at this
pddi ional. cost the price of a battle*
ship turned out in a govern runt yard
would be loss than if built at a pri-
vate plant. The government after
the construction will have the tools
and improvements. The most seri-
ous obstacle at both the Mare is-
land and Philadelphia will be the
time it takes to install the equip-
ment.

j ATHI November It.—Dennis
Cochin * ’-each cabinet minister
without a ..-tfoiio. was scheduled
today to tell King Constantine what
the allies have to offer for passive
Greek support In the Balkans kow
much more they will give for active
aid and how much retaliation !f
Greece joins the Teutons.
Cochin conferred with Premier
Skouloudis and former Premier Ten*
ixelos leader of the war party yes-
terday. After talking with these
leaders Cochin was prepared to go
to Salonica to look the war situation
over at a shorter range.
After the Island of Cyprus had
been offered Greece if she would help
Serbia against Bulgaria and refut-
ed. it was stated that such a reward
would not be tendered again but *t
is believed here that the Greek aid
is valued so highly by the allies that
the offer may be renewed. At least
the allies will insist on a strict non-
interference by the Greeks with the
Balkan operations that assurances
be given that there will be no de-
mand for the withdrawal of allied
troops from Greek territory along the
Serbian. Bulgarian and Turkish fron-
tiers and guarantees that no at-
tempt will be made to intern any
British French or Serbian soldier
who may be driven across the Greek
frontier.
Lord Kitchener was expected to
arrive in Athens today before Coch-
in’s departure.
Cochin’s talk with Teniseios sup-
posedly referred to Greek public opin-
ion. To judge from tbe cordiality
with which he was treated it iB be-
lieved the Greeks are still friendly
toward the allies.
Much attention here has been at-
tracted by the news that former Min-
ister of Marine Stratos is on bis way
to Germany but it is not known
whether or not he is going on gov-
ernment business but that is thi
guess.
