PRENCH TROOPS LAND AT KAVALA Austro-German and Bulgarian Forces Seem to Be Making Slight Gains, SERBS FLOOD COPPER MINES LONDON, Nov. 3.—The landing of French troops at Kavala on the Greek const is reported in a Sofia| telegram to Berlin, and although this news is unconfirmed, it seems a likely sequel to yetserday's informa- ton that British and French trans- yorts had been sighted off this Oreek port. Whether these forces will be able to connect speedily enough with the other troops aligned against the Bulgarians from Krivo- ‘ak to Strumitsa, to relieve the pres- sure there, and by a porsible flank attack threaten the rear of the Bul- gerian forces, is admittedly prob- lematical. The Austro-German forces in northern and western Serbia and the Bulgarians in the east continue their attacks, against which the defense gradually yields ground, but the situation is not vitally changed. The Austriana have officially admitted that they have been able to capture only twenty Serblan officers and 6,000 men. Petrograd furnished the Information that additional German troops have been sent from the Russian front to Serbia. Serbs Flood Copper Mines. PARIS, Nov. &—Large numbers of for- elgners, fleelng before the Austro-Ger- man advance, have taken refuge at Kra- levo, thirty-five miles west-northwest of Kraguyevats, according to a Saloniki dis- patch to the Matin filod yesterday. They include the families of French engineers employed in the copper mines in the Bor reglon between the Danube snd Timok. These miues are sald to have L been flooded in such a way that they ‘will be useless to the Germans. Arrangements are velng made to keep Sorbia supplied with munitions through ' Montenegro. While the Serbian losses are sald to have been moderate in view of the desperate fighting, it has been necessary to destroy large quantities of war materials to prevent them from fall- ing Into the hands of the Invaders.

HASTINGS HERE IN FORCE FOR STATE CONVENTION Superintendent - Bverhart and fifty teachers of the Hastings schools are here for the state convention. Last year the Hastings school board declined to dismiss the achools for the Omaha convention, some of the business men of that town maintairing that the state meeting of the teachers meant only & shopping and sightseeing trip. The achool board, however, became con- vinced that Hastings could not afford to | hold out and lose the many advantages | offered at this great convention. At a meeting of the board yesterday the schools were ordered dismissed and the teachers allowed to attend the comvention.

There is an| unverified rumor that if the election now | in progress results in favor of a mon- | archy, coronation of the emperor will be | delayed until the conclusion of the Buro- | pean war. Discussing the refusal of the United States to support the Japanese represen- tations, the Peking News, which reflects | the views of the government, says edi- torfally: “Had America acqulesced to the pres- sure upon China at this critical moment the country bent upon predatory adven- ture under the never falling gulse of ‘maintaining peace ¢n the far east' would have been encouraged.
