TEM THE INVADERS In the Northeaéfern Corner of Their Country, Where Pressure Has INVADERS ARE MAKING STEADY PROGRESS Become Great Serbians, Now in the Hills, Are Making Austro-Germans Pay Heavily for Every Mile They Advance—In tl:e‘ South the French Have Joined Hands With the Serbians and the Bulgarians Are Being Held—Von Hindenburg is Making Another Desperate Effort to Reach the Fortress- es on the Dvina River—Italians Are Still Carrying on Their Offensive Against the Austrians—In France the Struggle in the Champagne Region Continues. London, Oct. 26, 10.30 p. m.—The Serbian troops which have been so gal- lantly holding the little northeastern corner of their country, where the Austro-German_and Bulgarian armies are about to join, are being slowiy forced back as the pressure upon them becomes greater. The Marquis of Lansdowne, minister without portfolio in the British cabinet, regretfully an- nounced to the house of lords this eve- ning that he feared they could Tot much longer withstand the attacks. Invasion of Serbia s Steady. In fact. all along the northern and .eastern frontier of Serbia the invaders are making steady progress, although at great cast, as the Servians, now tht they have reached the hills, are meking them pay heavily for every mile covered. Bulgarians Being Held. \ It is only in the south where the French have joined hands with the Serbians that the Bulgarians are be- ing held. Here the French and Ser- bians are entrenching themselves and awaiting reinforcements which they hope Will enable them to drive the Bulgarians out of Macedonia. Allies Sending Strong Force. Great Britain and France, according to the statement. of the Marquis of Lansdowne in the house of ‘lords, are despatching a strong force to the Near East and are only awaiting the report of General Sir Charles Carmichael Monro, the new British commander on_the Gallifoli peninsula and other military and. naval advisors to decide at which point they will be used. Great Britain and: France, the Marquis of Lansdowne gaid, had taken up the charge of e central powers in the Near FEast; as elsewhere and were preparing tb- strike blow for blow and hoped eventually to receive the sup- port of Greece and Rumania, although they were not depending uport them. The British minister at Athens is «reported to be making representations to Greece with respect to the use of Baloniki as a base for the allies and also with regard to Greece's future metion. Heavy Fighting East and West. On the eastern and western battle tronts, as in Serbia, heavy fighting continues. In the Riga and Dvinsk regions of Russia the German field marshal, Von Hindenburg, undaunted by repeated. failures during the past 10 days to reach the Russian fortress- es on the Dvina river, is making an- other furious determined effort to ac- complish his aim. Reports today were to the effect that he had made furthe¥ progress, particularly near Illouket. Along the rest of the line, through the provinces of Vilna, Grodno and Vol- hynia, and in Galicia there have been| battles at mary points, with the ad- vantage first on one side and then on the other. Italians Carrying on Offensive. The Italians are still carrying on their offensive against the Austrians, while the struggle in the Champagne region of France, begun when the French captured a portion of the La Courtine works from the Germans, some of which the Germans have re- gaptured, is still in progress. The -French claim they have extended their gains here by taking an adjoining trench north of Massages. PRESIDENT POINCARE AND KING GEORGE AT FRONT.

New -York, Oct. -26.—Five members of the board of missions of the Epis- copal church tendered their resigna- tions today when the quarterly meet- ing of the board retused by a vote of to 13 to rescind the resolution adopted last May to participate in the Panama interdenominational mission- ary conference to be held in February. The Roman Catholic church, through its missions, several months ago, de- clined the invitation to participate in the Panama conference because it be- lieved the plans for the conference were hostile to the Catholic church. The Episcopalian board of missions was able to reach a vote today only after five hours of controversy, much of it heated, and marking the most turbulent meeting the board ever held, according to several of the older mem- bers. The five members who tendered their resignations were: Bishop Reginald H. Weller, Fond Du Lac, Wis.; Bishop G. ott Williams, Marquette, Mich.; Bishop Alfred Harding, Washington, D. C.; Rev. Dr. Selden P. Delaney, Milwaukee, and Rev. Dr. William T. Manning of Trinity church, New York city. NITRATE ACID FUMES WAS CAUSE OF DEATH Of Thomas Dooley at Middletown Sun- day Night.

Davis. The coroner, after hearing a number of witnesses, reserved his decision. The attendance _Attorney signi- ficant, .Harry Jackson, chief chemist of the plant, testifled that the concern, which employs 150, was manufacturing phenol and plcnic acid. A considerable num- ber of men have been burmed since the plant started operations, he said, but Dooley’s was the first death. Asked if the men had been warned as to the dangerous character of the acid, Mr. Jackson said that no special instruction had been given and until Dooley's death the employes did not report the dangerous note of the fumes, The coroner was insistent that some instruction be given the men to warn them of their danger and “put fear of it into cur hearts.” “Well, they have it now,” replied Mr. Jackson. He sald that practically all of those employed were Greeks. He said the foreman would warn the men to go outside the rooms when he saw the fumes arising from the cracks. ~Haines led ONLY ADEQUATE MEASURE OF NATIONAL DEFENSE.

The council also voted, to have a deputation of five, with moderator H. M. Beardsley of Kansas City, carry the resolution, with the one adopted earlier in the day appeal- ing to the president to try and do something to _stop the ~Armenian atrocities, to Washington_so_that, in the language of Rev.

New Method of Trepanning—Improved Method for Blood Transfusion. Boston, Oct. 26.—Recent advances in surgery were illustrated in_hospitals here today in connection with the ses- sions of the clinical congress of sur- geons of North America. A new meth- od of trepanning the skull, a perfected operation for cataract and an improved system of blood transfusion were among the features of today's clinics. Dr. Harvey Cushing of this city per- formed the trepanning operation, which, it is claimed, obviates the ne- cessity of inserting metal plates in the skull. In transfusing the blood of a healthy person to the veins of a patient it is 0o longer necessary for the two to be together, according to another opera- tion demonstrated today. The blood of the bealthy person was placed in a wax-lined tube and at the surgeon's convenience conducted to the veins of the patient. This method, it was point- ed out, means facility of operating, no destruction to the radial artery of the heulthy person, no danger of blood clotting while operating and the pos- sibility of exactly measuring the amount of blood to be transfused. Improvements made in operating upon cataracts, it was said, reduce the time of the patient’s blindness, because it is now no longer necessary for the ictim to wailt for the cataract to tipen,” a process that sometimes re- quires’ several years. AGREED"TO PAY $4,000 FOR KILLING OF FATHER-IN-LAW Conspiracy ~ Against F. Franklin Schneider, Millionaire Candy Manu- facturer. Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 26.—Thomas C Forney, a lawver of Washington, D. C., who yesterday pleaded sguilty to conspiracy and to assaulting his fath- er-in-law, T.

C. Carlisle if they would kil Schneider. Forney said the agreement was in writing and it passed into the hands of McHenry, who Forney said, refused to return it to him when he gave up tha idea of putting Schneider out of the way. “I was through with it. I was tired of being blackmailed. I was aimost driven crazy,” said Forney. RUMORS OF A FRENCH CREDIT IN NEW YORK Between 310,0;0?.-00 and $15,000,000— Solely for Munitions. New York, Oct. 26.—Wall Street to- day heard, on seemingly good author- ity, that preparations had been al- most completed for the establishment of a French credij in this city of from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. According to reports current in the financial section. the sum was to be used solely for the payment of muni- tions shipped from this country for the account of France. What form the credit would take was not divulged but it was thought that it would be in the form of acceptances which could be discounted by member banks of the federal reserve. If so, such ac- counts probably would run for ninety days with privilege of renewal. it was thought announcement of de- tails would be forthcoming in a few days.

Fay Makes Detailed Confession. Fay. who is cne of the five men charged with conspiracy to delay or prevent tie salling of war munitions ships from this country, gave a de- tailed confession to William J. Flynn, chief of the secret service. In it ac- cording to the federal authorities, he Tepeated his former confeasion made to the police at Weehawken, N. J., but stated in additfou that his mission, be- sides placing bombs on the propellers of rudders of ships, was to bribe the commanders of Russian vessels. He sald the plan he was to endeavor to carry through was to induce a Rus- sian commander to run a cargo ot copper into a German port, at which place a large sum of money was to be paid to the Russian. upon shipping ventures which the gov- ernment promised not to oppose with uneconomic competition. This alone was sufficient deterrent, but in the midst of the agitation another unfa- vorable policy was introduced by the enactment of the seaman’s law, which in its present shape virtually places upon American ships alone in foreign trade burdens in excess to those found in the maritime legislation of any na- world's greatest fighting craft at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for a final trimming for her speed trials. Telegraph communication between Rumania and Serbia according to #n- nouncement made at New York by the cable companies is interrupted. hip Nevad: Government officlals said they were ! inciined to give little credence to this phase of Fay's story, but it was made part of the evidegce upon which tne men were held over for further hear- ing.
