Veins is a L write: swollen Mich., my Odanah, Nearly all of Serbia being held by the Teutons and Bulgars, the atten- tion of the central powers has now been turned toward Montenegro, the little country which espoused Serbia’s cause early in the war and has been fighting vigorously tro-Hungarians ever since. The Mon- tenegrin consul general at Paris re- ceived the following dispatch from Cetinje: “King Nicholas has address ed an energetic proclamation to the people. He urges them to remain against the Aus- | calm in the face of the danger which threatens Montenegro and recalls the heroic defense of Serbia, now invad- ed. The proclamation reads: ‘The | Serbian army has been obliged to re- | treat toward the mountains of Mon- tenegro, where the forces of the two Serb kingdoms, united against comn- mon foes will resist valiantly. Faith- ful to its traditions, Montenegro will carry on the struggle until death, which it would prefer to slavery. allies have undertaken to revictual The | King of Tiny Montenegro Issues Another Defiance to Teutonic Powers the population of Montenegro and the army. The latter will defend the glorious soil of its native land with- out sparing blood. It will fight from mountain to mountain around its king with the ardor that full confidence in a definite victory for Montenegro and its great allies gives.’ In the | pictures, 1 is King Nicholas of Mon- | tenegro, 2 is a scene in the Monte- negrin mountains, 3 is a group of Montenegrin cavalrymen; 4, a Monte- negrin infantryman. I Sleeper, an expert who was rapidly making certain the creation of a sink- ing fund to meet the seven millions Friars Lands bonds, to a Filipino in- surrecto general named Tinio who had no experience of any kind and who in six months had to be relieved SERBIAN TROOPS LEAVE MONASTIR after trial for malpractice and ac- quital, this important achievement is made very doubtful. The arrearages in collections from leases of Friars Lands are said to have exceeded 500,000 pesos due to inefficiency. Similar cases of inefficiency occurred in the bureaus engaged in attempting to suppress the dangerous chinder- pest, in conducting the hospital, in collecting internal revenues. It us- ually takes some time to show inef- ficiency due to changes because of original momentum, but these were almost immediate. A reorganization of the judiciary entirely unnecessary and most wasteful was effected to give { more places for Filipinos. My au- thority for these results is in state- ments of Dean Worcester, Vice Gov- ernor Gilbert and Dan E. Williams, all of whom are in the Islands and know them well. In addition, many others have confirmed these views, some of whom because of their busi- nes or calling in the Islands it would not be fair to name. Opposes Jones Bill. “I am utterly opposed to the Jones bhill and have always been opposed to it. Its promise of independence is certain to mislead the Filipinos into, thinking it is near at hand. Its elec- tive senate will diminish the power of the American executive most in- juriously. Its requirement that ap- pointments be confirmed by the sen- ate will make the governor general completely subservient to the Filipino politicians and will eliminate all American guidance in the bureaus and departments. Not a Partisan, “I was personally engaged in Phil- ippine work for four vears and super- vised it for eight years more, and I cah of course not rid myself of a per- sonal relation to it. I am profoundly anxious to avoid the disaster to rd vhich I believe the present policy tending. But Mr. Garrison charge | that I am a partisan in the sense that this is part of the republican cam- paign. This is a great injustice to me. I hope for a republican adminis- tration to reverse the present pol but I never would seek a pulltu,al issue in the Philippines if it could be @voided. 1 had no party when I wa, in the ,Philippines in that work. We appointed as many democrats as re- publicans. We were working for the Filipinos and the credit of our coun- try and my deep interest in the Philippines problem has never had “he slightest tinge of party feeling. T don’t think T am much of a partisan generall I think I have given fairly cubstantial evidence by my appoint- ments, and my treatment of party cpponents when in office that my par- tisanship is not blind. It seems to me that I have not been unmindful of | the necessity for standing by this democratic administration in national crisis, without regard to party con- sideration. Mr. Garrison’s language is unjust, vehement, and unmeasured. I think when he recurs to it in the future, he will forget. it. NOT TO ACCOMPANY Providence, R. 1., Nov .—Gov. R. Livingston Beeckman, announced today that he had declined Henry Ford’s invitation to accompany a pro- posed peace commission to Europe. FORD. Bulgarians Apparently Will Soon Occupy Town London, Nov. 30, 12:28 p. m.— Monastir, in southwestern Serbia, has been evacuated. Serbian troops, hav- ing accomplished their purpose of delaying their enemy’s advance until the civil population of the town had , time to escape, have now left the city | and, according to reports, are retir- ing in good order. Bulgarian occu- pation of the town is apparently a matter of only a few hours. Though the Austro-German and Bulgarian campaign against Serbia is described by the central powers as finished and though practically the whole of Serbit is in their possession, they have not accomplished, according to the general belief here, the more important aim of entirely crushing the Serbian army. Though defeated and worn out in the conflict against overwhelming odds, the Serbian forces are said to be still unbroken and un- \demoralized and are reported to be reorganizing their shattered units on the Albanian and Montenegrin fron- tiers preparatory to fresh action. Campaign at Standstill. vetarded the central powers in their proposed new enterprise against the Franco-British troops in the. Stru- mitza region or the rapidly develop- ing Russian menace from the direc- tion of Rumania has caused them to abandon it. In any event their cam- paign has recently come to a stand- still. Other fronts during the last forty- eight hours have shown generally re- vived activity. Sir John French, commander in chief of the Br h forces in France and Belgium, re- ports successful British air attacks on German positions along the Belgian coast and on other parts of the Ger- man western front, involving destruc- tion of a German submarine off the Belgian coast and raids on an aero- Grome and an ammunition factory be- ‘hind the German lines. g French Gain Successes. French troops, in the Souchez dis- | trict, succeeded in driving the Ger- {mans from a crater made by a suc- cessful mine explosion recorded in the German communication of Saturday. The varying fortunes which have attended General Townshend’s Meso- rotamias expedition have not yet been recorded here in sufficient detail 1o make the situation entirely clear. From the latest official statement it does not appear that there has been further fighting since the British ad- vance upon the battlefield of Ctesi- rhon, but the British troops have again fallen back to the Tigris, hav- ing been outnumbered by the Turks, and are now occupying more easily defended positions in the rear of their former line. Russians Gain Ground. On the north Poland front, after crushing German attacks, the Rus- ! sians have succeeded in making local | gains in the neighborhood of | Tlloukst, occupying an eastern suburb | of the town and advancing to the | German trenches south of this point. | Presidents Either bitter winter weather has | 'PLAN TO RELIEVE FREIGHT CONGESTION Or Representatives Of Trunk Line Railroads Running Into New York Meet in Jersey City. New York dents, or the Nov. 30.—The presi- representatives of all the trunk line railroads running into New York city met today at the Pennsylvania Terminal, Jersey City, to consider w: and means for re- lieving the freight congestion which has become acute during the past few weeks. The meeting follows the action of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohijo yesterday in declaring embar- goes on certain forms of export freight and the conference lent strength to the report that the rail- roads will co-operate on uniform em- bargo rules. The Lackawanna began an embar- Bo yesterday on various formg of freight coming into New Jersey ter- ] minals. This affects the shipment of | grain from Buffalo and other lake points as the Lackawanna regulates the grain movement by restraining the number of cars at Buffalo. Although in many cases railroad men have been loath to discuss pres- ent freight conditions, it is known that between 40,000 and 50,000 freight | cars are now at or near New York | terminals waiting to be unloaded. The present congestion, which | sadd to be the worst in years, has been largely caused, railroad men | claim, by the effort on the part of grain men along the Greak Lakes to empty their elevators as quickly as possible to receive additional grain before the Great Lakes shipping sea- son officially closes on December 12. is i BIG GAME SEASON.

Nov. states met here of formally Chicago, 30.—Republicans from several today for the purpose organ ing the “National Republican Union". The purpose of the organization, ac- cording to Chairman Horace S. Stil- well of Anderson, Ind., is to obtain equalized delegate representation 1n the republican national convention. It is proposed to submit a new sys- tem for consideration at the 1916 convention, but it is not hoped to make it effective until four years thereafter. The plan of Mr. Stilwell and his associates is to determine the number of delegates in each state on the basis of one to each 8,000 republi- can voie This system, it was said, would greatly reduce the representa- tion from the southern states Among the opponents of the plan is Willlam Barnes of New York who wrote Mr. Stilwell that “It is utterly meretricious” Mr. Barnes said it would make the party a “sectional would deny certain con- gressional districts representation.
