Serbians Driven Back. / erlin, Oct. 29, via London, 5:30 p. f mi’—Serbian forces opposing the Teu- tonic advance on the western border of Serbia have been thrown across the frontier east of Visegrad (Bosnia), it was officialy announced today by _German army headquarters. Advances for the Austro-German armies and for the Bulgarian forces in other sec- tors of the Serbian front also are re- cor'ded. s \ The text of the statement regarding the Serbian operations is as follows: “Near Drinsko, south of Visegrad, the enemy has been driven back east of that place he has been thrown across the frontier. | “West of the Morava the general ge of Sgarko-Vica-Rudnik-Cumic- atocina has been reached.

At Riversaltes, the home town of General Joffre, a railroad bridge Wwas swept away and communi- cation with Narbonne was cut.

TROOPS Two Assaults Made on Infantry Near Village of Gapote N0 CASUALTIES REPORTED Carranza and Villa Forces Ready for Third Battle at Agua Prieta, Sonora —5,000 American Troops Mobilized at Douglas to Protect Territory, Brownsville, Tex., Oct. 29.—Bandits early today made two attacks upon a half company of United States in fantry stationed at Capote, a village about sixty-five miles up the Rio Grande from here. No casualties were reported on either side. Ready for Third Battle, Douglas, Ariz., Oct. 29.—Prepara- tions were completed today for the third battle at Auga Prieta, Sonora, since Madero opened the war in Mexico five years ago. In these Lattles shots fired on the Mexican side killed five persons in Douglas and wounded twenty. Five thousand American troops, with sixteen 3-inch guns, are mobilized here to see that the Mexicans shoot on only their own side of the boun- Gary. Carranza troops lie behind an elaborate system of earthworks await- ing the approach of the Villa army. Villistas to Begin Battle, The beginning of the battle depends upon the Villistas, and the outcome probably will determine whether Sonora will come under sway of Villa cr whether he will ‘be driven as a fugitive across the American border. At last reports Villa’s forces were scattered from fifteen to twenty-flve miles south of Agua Prieta, in a region where little water is available, while Carranza troops under General Diguez, were reported to be working in hehind them. Garrison Numbers 3,700. The Carranza garrison at Agua Prieta numbers hardly more than 3,700 effective men and the reinforce- ments that General Calles expected to $500,000 PIER FIRE Someone Wished to Stop Shipment of Munitions to Russia, Seattle, Wash., Oct. 29.—Police and fire department officials conducted a thorough investigation today into the origin of the $500,000 fire which last night destroyed a pier used by the Blue F'unnel line of British steamersg for shipments of provisions and sup- plies for England, Russia and Japan. More thau a million dollars worth of come from Piedras Negras, over American territory, with sixteen can- non and twenty-four machine guns, cannot reach here for two or three days. This was the word brought by General Benjamin Hill of Carranza's army, who made it known that he in- tends to become one of the interested pon-combatants on the American side of the boundary. If Villa wins he probably will remain a more or less ‘important factor in the Mexican situa- tion—at least in Sonora. Villa Has Large Arm; Villa is reliably reported to have twenty-eight fleld guns, some as large as four-inch pieces, though these are believed to be hardly more that fifty freight, mostly imports from China and Japan, was in the warehouse. The fact that the fire started in piles of rattan stored with other highly inflammable merchandise in the same manner as two small blazes last Tuesday caused officials to believe that the fire probably was set by some one who objected to the shipment of munitions of war for the Russian ar- mies. The police centered their attention upon tracing the actions of D. Wil- mann, a longshoreman, who was ar- rested last night on suspicion. BLOCKADE PARTIAL FAIDURE. J. M. Curtin Company Gets Large Shipment From Germany. Clearly demonstrating the partial fallacy of the supposed strict block- ade of all German ports by the British navy, today the J. M. Curtin company of this city received a consignment of 750 dozen cups and saucers which were shipped from Bremen, Germany cn May 21. Although the goods were a long time on the high seas and took considerable time en route, they arrived safely, the vessel having successfully eluded the blockade. Some ‘goods which are being ghipped to this country from German ports are marked ‘“American Goods” to insure safety in case of seizure, state the customs officials. COURT MARTIAL PRIEST. Grenoble, France, via Paris, 29, 5:30 a. m.—Abbe Oct. Charvet, af | parish priest at Montalieu, in the De- partment of Isere, has been put on trial before a court-martial charged with preaching a sermon likely to have a bad effect upon public opinion and with excommunicating persons who gave evidence when his case was before an examining magistrate.

Two batteries arrived early today from Nogales and approximately 1,000 more men will arrive from Fort Bliss tomorrow or Sunday. Forced Loan on Bank. Mazatlan, Mex,, Oct. 29, by Radio to San Diego.—The Mazatlan authorities are reported to have levied a forced loan of 100,000 pesos upon the Occi- dental bank here, a foreign owned corporation, principally Spanish. bank is said to have been given ten days in which to pay, after which a penalty will be added daily for twenty days and then, if not paid, the bank’s property will be confiscated. The bank is said to have refused to pay.

Washington, Oct. 29.—Oscar w. Underwood, senator-elect from Ala- bama, who is here for the opening of congress, said today in discussing the question of national defense that he would wait until the army and navy experts ‘hemselves had reached their conclusions and presented them to congress before expressing his views on the subject. The new senator declared that e favored a reasonable national dc- fense, but said: “I - am approaching the subject in such a way that 1 will be able to take the opinions of the experts largely into consideration in shaping a final opinion.” He added that congress would now be ina bet- ter position in dealing With the sub- ject to profit by lessons from the Eu- ropean war. Mr. Underwood, who, as chairman of the house ways and means commit- { tee, framed the tariff law which there is talk of revising to meect revenue re- quirements, declined to discuss the proposal. He said that it would be manifestly cut of place for him to do so inasmuch as he was leader in the house when the law was enacted and is not now a member of that body. Mr. Underwood will pay his re- spects to President Wilson in a few days and probably also will discuss the prospective legislative program. LONDON HOLDS SERVICE FOR EXEGUTED NURSE Many Wounded Soldiers At- tend Ceremony at St. Paul’s Cathedral. London, Oct. 29, 11:30 a. m.—A ser- vice at St. Paul's Cathedral today in memory of Miss Edith Cavell, the British nurse who was executed in Brussels, was attended by a throng which recalled the funeral of Lord Roberts at the cathedral almost EY year ago. Before 8 g'clock a = great” crowd stood shivering in the first cold fox of the season, awaiting the opening of the doors. Shortly after 10 o'clock signs bearing the words “Church full” | were hung at all the doors except the | one reserved for late holders. Conspicuous among the crowd which waited until the doors were opened were many wounded soldiers, attended by Red Cross nurses. The sombre clothing of the cengregation | which packed the great edifice was relieved here and there by spots of color of the uniforms of soldiers and seilors, when military and naval dig- nitaries tock their places. The only other seats reserved were for tho Lord Mayor, the diplomatic corps of the entente allies and six hundred of Miss Cavell’s fellow nurses. The service was begun with the “Dead March” played on the organ. Then came ‘“Abide Witah Me” by the First Life Guards Band. Except for the Lord's Prayer and the reading of one lesson, the service was entirely musical, no sermon being delivered. JOY RIDING BREAKS UP HOME. New Britain Machinist Gets Divorce From His Wife. His wife’s enthusiasm about “jov riding” with an unknown chauffeur, was given as the reason for the rup- ture that prompted him to seek a di- vorce by Charles F.

But in a few days she became restless, removed her clothes and went away. Snice then he has seen her but once. He met her on a street in Hartford and asked her to come back again, but she informed him she was At the time of his discovery of her “joy riding” the couple were living at 90 Maple street.

TWENTY-ONE BODIES CLAIMED | Acting Chief of State Police Neal Con- cludes Investigation and Says While { Parochial School Was Badly Con- structed Tt Complied With Law. Peabody, Mass., Oct. 29.—The bod- | jes of all the twenty-one girl pupils of St. John's Parochial school, who | lost their lives yesterday in a fire which swept through the building be- fore they had time to escape, wera claimed by their parents today. Five bodies remained over night in an undertaking establishment while rela- tives endeavored to identify them. Four of these had been identified at noon and there remained the charred form of a little girl, burned beyond possible hope of recognition: { Accepts Body as Child’s. When the four had been taken away Mrs. John Ahearn, mother of Agnes Ahearn, eight years of age, Who was unaccounted for, went to the morgue and finally accepted the body as that | of her child. It was placed in a c¥- fin and sent to her home. These bodies were identified toda | Anna Kenny, 10; Catherine Com- panio, 11; Anna Jones, 10; Catherine O’Connell, 12. ‘While investigation has not fully es- tablished the origin of the fire, Act- ing Chief Neal of the state police, after an investigation today announc- ed that he had found no oné crim- inally responsible. In the cavity within the blackened | brick shell of what yesterday morning was St, John’s Parochial school, men | searched today for evidence as to the cause of the fire which cost the lives of twenty-one girls yesterday. Every corner of the ruins also was looked cver carefully that it might be defi- nitely determined whether all the bodies had been recovered. The search for additional bodies was renewed at dawn under the di- rection of Michael H. Grady, chief of police of the town. George C. Neal, acting chief of the state police, as-, sisted by three inspectors, conducted | the investigation of the circumstances surrounding the start of the fire.' | Started in Store Room. { The only fact that could be substan- tiated early in the day in this connec- tion was that the flames originated in a small store room in the basement. The door of this room was locked. Acting Chief Neal broke it open just after the fire had been subdued. All that he could see in it was a part of | one barrel. Tt was particularly toward | this room that he directed his efforts tnday.. With the inspectors he made | 2 minute examination of the debris on | the floor in the hope of learning what had been kept in the room. It is known that it was customary te place waste paper and other sweep- ings in wooden barrels in the - store room. According to the sisters of the Order of Notre Dame, who were in charge of the school, nothing else was there. At one and of the room there | was a gas Jjet. Plan Public Funeral.

No Criminal Responsibility. Acting Chief Neal, who concluded his investigations today, announced | that no one had been found criminally responsible for the fire. He said that while the building was badly con- structed, it complied with the essential | requirements of the law. In the opin- jon of the state authorities the fire | started in a small closet under a stair- way in the middle of the building. This closet contained school supplies, a small box of sweepings and the gas meter. One of the many theories ad- vanced as to the qrigin of the fire is that the box of sweepings contained a few match heads which may have been dropped on the floor by boys or others. “The law requires,” said Chief Neal, “that the state and local building in- spectors shall consult and determine the proper means of egress from all buildings, and if they are not sufficient to order fire escapes installed on the building. The St. John's Parochial school building was carefully exam- nied and by computing the width of | the exits, it was found that they were sufficient to take care of the €80 chil- dren. Within the past few da the entire school in a regular fire ‘drill, was emptied in ninety seconds. Met Death By Suffocation. “The fault in building was the fact led to the center of the building, not towards the exits.” Chief Neal added: “The walls were sheathed and coated with shellac and the smoke from the burn- ing wood and oil is very poisonous. It is your opinion that this poisonous smoke was responsible for the loss of (Continued on Fourteenth Page.) | not higher.
