Serbians Stand at Bay. LONDON, Nov. 12. The Times Bal kan correspondent, telegraphing from Bucharest, expresses the .opinion that if Russia could send into the Serbian campaign a force of 200,000 men while the French and British troops are land ing on the Aegean, coast, the hesita tion which prevails in certain quarters in Roumanla would be dissipated and both Roumanla and Greece would , throw in their lots with the entente allies. "In this event," says the correspond ent, "Roumania could fall on Bulgaria in the rear with 200,000 men and simultaneously attack. the German front with 400,000 men. Roumania feels safe in the Carpathian passes, which she regards as impregnable." The scene of action in such a case would probably be Eastern Bulgaria or Thrace, where Field Marshal von der Goltz" army is assembled but lacks munitions. . Allies' Advance Dlfflenlt. The distance of the entente allies' naval base from the scene of hostili ties in Serbia, and necessity of guard ing the long line of communications in a difficult country, and in the face of a hostile population, is regarded by the correspondent as rendering a northward march from Salonlki inad visable. The concentration of forces farther east is held by the correspond ent to be impossible, owing to military conditions. ' BERLIN, via London, Nov. 12. Dis patches received by the Bulgarian Legation here report that the Bul garian army marching from Nlsh to Leskovac, captured enormous military (supplies of all kinds which the Serbians had abandoned. The demoralization of the Serbians, it was gathered from ad vices, had evidently reached such a point that their serious resistance on a large scale was no longer to be ex pected. A member of the Legation called at- tentlon to the statement that a large number of rifles had been picked up along the Jine of march, as also were pieces of artillery and ammunition wagons, with the harness cut and the horses gone. He regarded it as im probable that any considerable body of troops could escape the Montenegrin or the Albanian frontiers. Protest Hade to Greece. According to reports from Athens received in Budapest, the Turkish and Bulgarian Ministers at Athens have en tered a protest, couched in friendly terms, against the presence of Anglo French troops in Greek Madedonia as not being in accordance with Greek neutrality, says the Overseas News Agency. " M. Skouloudis. the Greek Premier, re plied, according to the Budapest ad vices, that he took notice of the pro test and that the government would do what was possible in order to clarify the situation. SALONIKI, Nov. 10, via Far:,. Nov. 12. Five thousand Serbians still are holding 15.000 Bulgarians at bay be tween lavor and Abdi Pahn in the Babuna defile, but the Serbs now con trol the heights of Kosjae, and occupy the whole line of mountains, making, in the opinion of military men here the withdrawal of the Bulgarians only a question of time. The people who left Monastir in a panic at the approach of the invaders are now returning. Prilep and Mon astir are resuming their normal ap pearance. BRITISH EXPLAIN SEARCH ZEALAXUIA BOARDED OS HIGH SKA, SAYS OFFICIAL, London Representative Makes Report I f Incident 2Mer Prosreso. , ! to State Department. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. An explana tion of the recent search of the steam ship Zealandla by British sailors off Progreso, Max., was made at the State department today by Charge Barclay, f the British Embassy, who said the vessel was on the high seas at the time and not in Mexican territorial wa ters, aa had been alleged. The Zealandia, Mr. Barclay told Counselor Polla, was anchored about three-quarters of a mile outside of the line of Mexican waters and was board ed by a party from a British cruiser and searched for contraband, an ad mitted right of a belligerent. Mr. Barclay said that because the -hip was flying the American flag she was not molested, although no document was found aboard to show her nationality or registry. These facts were reported to the British Admiralty and, it was explained, were submitted to the State Department for anv ac tion the Cnited States Government might desire to take. The Zealandia carries a cargo of roin. which is used in the manufac ture of shrapnel, and is said to be manned chiefly by Germans.

"With much regret and unaltered personal friendship. I bid you good bye. WINSTON CHURCHILL." Premier Asquith replied to Mr. Churchill as follous: "X had hoped you would reconsider your decision and regret to learn from your letter that you have not felt able to do so. You have rendered services, both in the council and the administra tion, which no one is better able to ap preciate than myself with regard to the conduct and direction of the war. and I am sincere y grieved that you should think it your duty to leave the Cabinet. "I am certain you will continue to take an active and effective part in the prosecution of the war. On per sonal grounds I feel acutely the sev erance of our long association. "ASQUITH." , FORCED LEAVE IS INTENT CHAMBERLAIN HAS PLAN TO AID CONTINENTAL ARMY. Action Against Employers Refusing to Let Men Ga for Training Is Proposed by Senator. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. li. Senator Chamberlain. after a visit to the White House to day, said he was serioSsly contemplat ing offering an amendment to the Ad ministration's continental army bill which will impose a heavy fine upon an employer wno declines to give two months' leave annually to his employes Who enlist in the continental Army. The main criticism directed at the Ad ministration bill to create the con tlnental army has been that it would be impossible to find 400.000 men who could get two months' leave each vear for three successive years, so that most employers would object to giving their men such extended leave in order that they might receive military training. Senator Chamberlain is disposed to believe Congress can compel employers to grant such leave if it will provide a sufficiently heavy penalty for refusal. GERMAN APPROVES NOTE Dernburg Says America Will .Help Make Seas Free. BERLIN, via London. Nov. 12. Dr. Bernhard Dernburg. discussing in the Tageblatt the American note to Great Britain, says tne note prepares th way for securing the freedom of the seas and thereby opens a new era of discussion with Great Britain, the re suit of which will undoubtedly be fa vorable to the right. Adverting to the question raised by the German press as to whether the L'nited States intends to see that its demands are satisfied. Dr. Dernbur says that the diplomatic history of the United. States gives assurance that it will do so under all circumstances. COLOGNE, via London. Nov. l The Koelnische Volks Zeitung, commenting on the American note to Great Britain, ss ys that It is difficult to comprehend how the Washington Government, "filled with such convictions and pos sessing such competent knowledge, al lowed IS months to elapse without se rious measures against British en croachment. "The United States," continues the Volks Zeitung. "did not even need to rattle the sword. A mere erabfrgo upon the export of a few articles such as grain, copper, meat and cotton, would instantly have brought Great Britain to terms and established Amer ican rights. "If America had from the first ener getically taken the position against Great Britain now adopted there would have been no submarine war, no sink ing of the Lusltania or the Arabic. The burning question remains what Wash ington will do now." CORK MilCLOSES EXHIBITS AT ONTARIO END WITH HIGH YIELDS RECORDED.

Attempt No Feint, but Serious Effort to Break Line. (Continued From First Page) correspondents assigned to Germany has Just reached here after a trip to Vilna and points east of Vilna, and he tells me that German operations in that region are active and successful, that extensive plans are being worked out. that the booty is large and the spirit of the troops fine. Energy and confi dence, he says, distinguish every move in the operations on that remote front. As to how the German-Austrian of fensive in Serbia goes you know by this time. Just as we knew last Satur day evening when the word l-n along miles of cheering lines lidm Lille to the Argonne "Belgrade ist genum men!" And yet when I reached the west front there were ob-ervers who said that the Anglo-French sffensiva was launched not primarily for the purpose of breaking through the Ger man lines, but of relieving Ituesia from the German pressure and spoiling Ger many's plans for rustiln the Serbian offensive brilliantly forward. Two Objects Have Failed. Well, granting that the offensive in volved no more than these two objects, we know now that it has failed, and failed signally, in respect of them. The German advance In Russia continues and the Serbian offensive has already resulted in the capture of another capi tal. But we know from Joffre's orders numerous copies of which have been found on the prisoners and from Lord Cavan's order to the guards that the offensive actually contemplated a gen eral break-through of the German lines from La Bassee to the Champagne. Lord Cavan said and I have seen copies of his order in original English that "on the eve of the greatest bat tle of all times" he wished his troops much luck; that "the destiny of the coming English generation is dependent on tne result of this battle.", and that "great things are excepted from the guards." General Joffre said that to "launch the attack in the French theater of war is a necessity for us in order to drive the Germans out of France"; that "we shall thereby free our countrymen, who have been oppressed by the enemy for twelve months, and also take from them the valuable territory .now occupied by mem." Phrases Deeply Significant. He added that a brilliant victory over the Germans would "determine the neutral nations to decide for us' and would "force the enemy to delay his advance against the Russian army in order to meet our attack." Of the utmost significance are these phrases from the body of the French com mander's order: "The matter in ques tion for all attacking troops is not only to take the first line of the enemy's trenches, but to push forward with out rest day and night beyond the second and third lines into the free ground." These sentences are unequivocal. iney admit of but one interpretation, and they leave the Anglo-French staffs no loophole. The Frencn and English expected to do wonders, and to that end they had made long and arduous preparation. And every statement they made relative to their anticipations is supported by early events in the Anglo- r rencn attempt. That attempt was no feint. It meant business. Troops were long rested and freshly equipped for it. For a month preceding the 22d of September, when the prodigious drum ming fire of artillery began, the Ger mans themselves knew that a grand offensive was in preparation, and that knowledge carried with it the certainty that great results were expected. Lille Not Anxious, Nor Expectant. It Is now the night of the 13th of Oc tober three weeks and a day since the drumming fire began. From talks with dazed and disappointed prisoners, from the extent of the preparation for the grand attack, from numerous French and English orders found on prisoners, and from the general "feel" of the situation which one gets by per sonal observation, it is my conviction that the English expected to be in this princely city of Lille two weeks ago. They are not. But they are near. I km living in the old Hotel de -'Europe in Rue Bassee. My room Is on what we would describe at home as the third floor, and it overlooks a side street. Every night I can hear the thud of the English and German guns to the west of the town. I can hear them now a slow, regular pounding. But Lille, occupied these many months and bearing up well under the strain. is neither apprehensive on the one hand nor expectant on the other. It has lived on hope deferred too long to be expectant now, and in its 1000 years' bistory it has been through so much that war can make no new trial or its fortitude nor affright its mind witn iresn terrors. Lille has- felt all the pains and borne all the sorrows. Before the crusades she suffered. Before Columbus she had built and rebuilt after sack and pillage. Before we were a Nation she had been" besieged now by the Aus trians, now by the -Spanish, now by the French. She resisted Marlborougn and she laughed in the face of the allies who came Into France to crush the revolution, and even while she laughed she ran with water palls to quench the fires started by a "rain of rea not balls' that fell by day and night 6000 or so and bombs filled with oil of turpentine, which splashed up in names.
