Sferbians Dulnumbered Five to Dne-Yeilleld City for Eleven Days. Fierce) liand to lland Fighting. LONDON, Nov. 5-The Daily Chron- icle's correspondent, who has just reached Salonllri from Belgrade and Kraguyevatz, declares that the Ger- man progress in Serbia is a repetition of the old story of overwhelming artil- lery power. , “it is establihed," he says, "that Von Mackensen’s army does not in- clude more than 160,000 men, but it is provided with artillery ample for an army of 1,000,000. Into Belgrade alone more than 50,000 shells were poured." The correspondent describes the fighting around U-skup as the bltterest of the war. "The Serblans were out- numbered flve to one by the Bulgar- ians, but the battle raged eleven days before they quitted the city. For the greater part of that struggle the con- tending armies were withln 200 yards of each other, and hand-to-hand en- counters were cdntinuous, with heavy losses on both sides. "Eveu when the Serbs were forced to fall back beyond the city, the Bul- garians were unable to enter for days, as the Serbian commitadjis (irregu- lars) fought with the Bulgarian com- mitadjls doggedly, street by street, from cellars to housetops. "Serbian officers declare that one additional regiment on their side would have turned the tide of battle in their favor. This, indeed, has been true at several points, where ferocious lighting has occurred in the past fort- night."

Nov. 5.-A story of the_ Serbian tragedy received from Nish by way of Milan, from the pen of Lu- ciano Magrini, an Italian war corres- pondent, is printed by the Evening News, _ _The V-wi-itex;._characterized the clearance oi’4Nortl'1ern Serbia as "the retreat of a people. not an army." In his account of the retreat the correspondent describes the scene on a muddy road leading to the South, along which was strung an unending procession of gun carriages, carts loaded with war material, conveyances of 'all sorts, bearing women, children,| old men, the sick and the wounded.. with at intervals flocks of sheep and droves of pigs, and of soldiers walk-| ing- side by side with the peasants._ At the sides of the road stood groups, of peasants, waiting until they were able to take their places in the pro- cession; "The great stream is flow-, ing southward." says the Writer. “whither nobody knows." i The wounded were a pitiable sight. Some awathed in bandages, were car-| rled on stretchers, while others, also bandaged, were walking because no stfetoliers were available for them. Still others who had been wounded but 'whose hurts hadlnot even been bandaged trod the road with the "ro- cession. At Topoa, King Peter, ill and weak, was waiting to retire with the rear- guard of his troops. Arriving at Nish, the correspondent found the city bear- ing a squalid aspect. Almost all the shops were closed and many of tht inhabitants had fied. On the main street were still flying the flags which had been hoisted in honor of the Al- lies who had been expected but who had never come. The price demand- ed for carriages for transportation of refugees was enormous, £40 bein8 asked for the hire of a carriage for wo. “Nish is isolated," continues the cor- respondent. “M. Yuvanovlch, the Ser- bian Minister of Justice, said to me: ‘We lived through the tragic hour when Bulgaria mobilized. In vain we besought the Entente to slow 118 I0 act, and attack Bulgaria before her mobilization was complete. The En- tente was still under the delusion that Bulgaria would still march against Turkey. We obeyed. and that WHS our ruin. The situation now is ter- rible.

The attitude of the king of which country_ is causing the Entente Powers much concern. Apparently, ,determin- ed that M, Zaimis shall remain in the office of Premier, King Constantine to- day urged him to retain the premier- ship. According to Athens despatches, however, M. Zaimis declined to acqui- esce in the klng’s desire, whereupon the king called the council of minis- ters to deliberation which may or may not determine whether Greece is to align herself against Bulgaria or per- sist in her attitude 'of “benevolent the allied troops may cross her soil, her armies shall not aid them in driv-, ing the Bulgarians from Serbia. ` While Greece hesitates, the Serbian northern army is being slowly but surely ground down before the :om- blned pressure’ of Austro-German and Bulgarian forces. The fate of Nish hangs by a hair. It is only at the, southern end of the bnttlefront that the Bulgarians are meeting reverses. There, according to reports. the Brit- ish are co-operating with the French, but, agheretofore, tnese reports are unofficial and fragmentary and it can- not be said authoritatively whether the British are in touch with the new, neutrality," which means that though. enemy. If the Bulgarian-Teuton tide is to be turned, the best opinion here is it will be some weeks hence, in- volving a period of uncertainty such as preceded the stand before Paris and on the Yser. B_ut, giving the En- tente Powers months of time, when, it is argued, they can throw three hundred thousand and perhaps five hundred thousand men into serbia, not including Russians. With such a force they could not only dispute the advance of the Central Powers, but bian Macedonia. The Germans are on the defensive chat and west.

Bulgarian Teulon Tide not Expected to Turn for Weeks, PARIS, Nov. 5.-The consequences of the new cabinet crisis in Greece are difficult to foresee, according to despatches from Athens. It is agreed that M. Zaimis cannot remain in power, and under ‘the parliamentary regulations usually in force, M. Veni- zelog would be asked to form a new ministry, and correspondents believe it is not impossible that public opinion may force King Constantine to entrust this task to the man who controls a majority of parliament. Keen political observers in Athens believe, however, that the return of M. Gounaris to office, or the appoint- ment as Premier of one of the Zaimis ministers, is probable, unless the king decided upon the radical course of dis- solving the Chamber, which cannot be reconvened while the army is mobil- ized. So far as can be learned. there is no reason to believe that the Greek ruler has changed his views regarding the entry of his country into the war. While he is credited with antl-Bul- garian sentiments, and with the belief that Greece cannot afford to quarrel with the Allies, because of her long and vulnerable coast line, those close to him, assert he is irrevocably re- solved to maintain neutrality.

This announcement was made because of the agitation over giving orders .for military purposes to firms in the United States. Purchase in America caused considerable resent- ment among Yorkshire firms, and the subject recently was discussed in Par- liament. Mr. Runciman admits that a large order for cloth, recently was given in America by one of the Allied Governments, but declares the British Government has lost no opportunity of urging its Allies to place orders in Great Britain for all available sup- plies. _ cLsMENcEAu, QREA1' cniric, PRIBIDEN1' oF Aniviv SENATE ' coMM|'r'rEE.' .

' 2,000 Women in the _Serbian Army LONDON, Nov. 4.-“ There were nearly 2,000 women in Serbia's army when I left and more women soldiers were being organized,” said Dr Cruitch, a Serbian army doctor now in London, to-day. “ The women are not in special bat- talions. Some of them wear the com- plete uniform of a soldier for the sake of comfort, .while others wear skirts with a blue tunic. The younger women go with their brothers or their husbands. The women are of every class of the population and we cannot prevent them from serving. They in- spire the men with whom they march side by side and with whom they eat and serve shoulder to shoulder in the trenches. “These women are not afraid. No- body in Serbia is afraid, and the women in the ranks do not lose their nerve under fire. “We realize the great power of our friends in the war. / Every soldier feels that we are only part. of a world army, and if it ls necessary that our army shall be lost--well, it is only a part.

(Special td the Guardian.) MILAN, Nov. 5.-(By Andre Bean- mont).-The arrival of Prince Von Buelow at Lucerne ls regarded as nn event ot’ transcendent importance. to which the press of central Europe has suddenly awakened. The general lm- pression, despite official Germuu denials( is that a foundation exists for reports that Germany is seeking the possibility of opening negotiations for an armisiice. At any rate, Von Buelow is allowing the Swiss press to present him as the bearer of an olive branch. The cor- respondent of the Secolo states after inquiring from reliable sources: “ Von Buelow is doubtless entrusted withan extremely important mission. The internal situation of Germany and Austria is pressing hard on a large' majority of the population. “ information from persons who have visited Germany and Austria, Despite Dlficial Denials it is Asserled; that Conditions in Germany and Austria are Such that Peace is Imperative.

ATHENS, Nov. 5.-The Greek Chamber as the result of a sensational incident provoked by Minister of War Yanakltsas has declined a vote of con- fidence in the government. Premier Zaimis has declared that he will ten- der his resignation to the king. The dissolution of the Chamber is con- sidered certain. ln a debate on the, army bill a Venizelos deputy criticised* one of the measures and expressed astonishment that it should have been submitted by a minister who was not even a deputy. The War Minister thereupon loft the House, taking his papers with him and saying it was impossible for him to rcmaln. The scene provoked n lumult of cheers and protests mingled. The deputy offered au apology. but the sitting wus suspended and the minis- ters rctircd to coni`er together. When the sitting was resumed n representa- tive of the war minister took his sent. Venizelos, however. insisted that Yanakltsas should likewise express re- gret tor the disrespectful manner in which he left the House. If the War Minister would apologize the Chamber would adjourn. Premier Zaimis thereupon declared Yanakitsas’s conduct correct and de- manded a vote of confidence in the ministry. Venizelos rejoined by attacking the foreign policy of the government, which he sold did not enjoy the approval oi' the majojrity. He depiored the fact of Serbia, luring left to be crushed by Bulgaria. “ the hereditary enemy ol' Greece, who would not scruplc later to fall upon Huw mi crisis nccunniiiiiiiiliihtiiiiimtiiiliii »_-¢._¢__;' Greece." Replying to a. deputy, who had re- proached Venizelos with having ques- tioned the patriotism of the klngfl Venizelos pointed out that a constitu- tional sovereign bears no responsibil- ity. He condemned those who sought to hide behind the sovereign and re- peated " in a constitutional state there can be no royal policy." “Our system,” he said, “ia that of n commonwealth administered by a parliament under the sole responsibil- ity of the government. The crown had n right to disagree with the govern- ment, but after the last elections there ought to have been no further dis- agreement. " Instead of proceeding to new el_ec- tions it would be better to suspend the constitution until the end of the war in order that it may be clear where the responsibility falls." Gounarls, Minister of the Interior, maintained that thc constitution con- ferred upon the king the right ot dis- approve of the government. He sought to justify the Cabinet’s refusal to assist Serbia. On the eve of this sitting, Venizelos’ organ, Patris, addressed a supreme appeal to the government to emerge from its neutrality. and seize the op- portunity of putting an end to the Bulgarian peril. It argued that the Central Powers were making military use of Bulgaria for the same end for which in 1913 they sought to use her ns n diplomatic tool against Serbia und Greece. The ambition of these powers. it was stated, had been to reach the Mediterranean. Predicts the Break- up_oi Germany NEW YORK.
