f; Than Half or Country, With

BERLIN, Nov. 6. The Bulgarians
have captured Nish, second city of Ser
bia and its temporary capital for a time
after the evacuation of Belgrade. There
was a three days' battle, according to
the official announcement issued here
today, in which the invaders were con
fronted with desperate opposition at
various points outside the town. The
report says that 350 Serbians were
taken prisoners and that two cannon
fell Into the hatids of the Bulgarians
It is presumed that the prisoners men
tioned were & rearguard left to defend
the last position and that the Serbians
succeeded, as they have done in the
past,' in removing most of their mili
tary supplies.
Other victories over the Serbians by
both the Bulgarians and the Austro
Oermans are reported. It is said that
the town, of Kralievo. 35 miles from
Kraguyerata, was taken by German
and the Austro-CJermans took Varvarin,
on the Morava River, 40 miles north
west of Nish. The German War Office
says 3000 prisoners were taken at
Varvarin.
Bulgan and Germans In Touch.
Near Lukovo, the Bulgarians defeat
ed the Serbians and in the vicinity of
Sokobanya also they won a victory
taking more than 600 prisoners and six
cannon. Bulgarian and German forces
Bot in touch with each other near Kriv
ivir. With the exception of Belgrade, Nish
is the largest city in Serbia. Soon
after the outbreak of the war the capi
tal was transferred from Belgrade to
Nish. There the government remained
until the city was threatened by the
invaders. In the last month various
towns have been mentioned as the tem
porary seat of the government.
There are no recent statistics of its
population, which -0 years ago was
Zl.ftOO.
More than half af Serbia is now in
possession of the invaders, who also
have taken the greater part of the
country's railroad system. The new
junction effected between Austro-Ger-man
and Bulgarian forces, reported to
day, completes tho semi-circular wall
of hostile armies about the retreating
Serbians.

lislies Precedent in Oregon.
". noSKBURG, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.)
Judge J. W. Hamilton, of Douglas
County,, today set what several local
lawyers claim is a precedent in the
Judicial history of Oregon, when he
Iteld that marriage was not a bar to
the prosecution of a man charged with
a statutory crime against his wife.
Attorney John Long, of the defense,
asked that the action be dismissed for
the reason that Hogan and the prose
cuting witness were married recently
at Vancouver, Wash., and are now liv
ing as man and wife.
The marriage of Hogan recently at
Vancouver caused Mrs. Iola Baldwin,
of the Portland Police Department, to
score what she termed the Vancouver
marriage market.

which haj nothing in the history of the
country or the party to commend it."
Wilnou's Friends Make Aiairrr.
President Wilson's friends answer
Mr. Bryan by quoting remarks made
.by the Nebraskan. While a member of
the Administration. Mr. Bryan did not
conceal the view that to differ with
an Administration policy was evidence
of disloyalty. Moreover, Democrats
here do not forget that Mr. Bryan read
a large number of men out of the
party during the Baltimore convention,
because they did not agree with him.
As to Mr. Bryan's statement that
there is nothing in the history of the
country or the party to commend pre
paredness, the Administration quoted
George Washington's advice, "to keep
ourselves by suitable establishment on
a respectable defensive posture," and
refers to the measures of preparation
which Thomas Jefferson, during the
Napoleonic war, deemed it necessary
to recommend to the consideration of
Congress.
Republicans Knjoj- Situation.
The Republicans continue in high
feather ever the split that has come
between the President and Mr. Bryan.
They will encourage it in every way
they can because they appreciate that
division will mean their certain victory
in the Presidential elections next yea?.
Administration Democrats themselves
are exceedingly dubious of their pros
pects, in view of Mr. Bryan's attitude.
They are charging he is inspired solely
by personal ambition, and are firmly
convinced that he is seeking to regain
leadership of the Democratic party".
They admit he will have an excellent
chance of success if. as a result of his
efforts, Mr. Wilson goes down to defeat
next year.

MEAT PROTEST WAITING
AMERICA PREPARES TO ACT IX
BEHALF OK PACKERS,
Threats of Confiscation of - Cireon
of Norwegian Line Not Offi
cially Called to Notice..
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. A note to
great Britain regarding issues involved
in the seizure of American meat car
goes may be prepared within the next
two weeks. The State Department is
not now ready to take a sten in this
direction, as it has not received certain
information requested of attorneys for
the packers and which is expected next
week, when a decision will be reached.
Three sets of issues am involved.
One lias to do with the vessels and
cargoes already disposed of by the
British prize court. These cases have
Deen appealed. The second has to do
with vessels and cargoes not yet passed
on by the prize court. The third in
volves a protest against interference
with the shipment of meat products
for Sweden via- Norway.
Attention was called tonight to the
fact that if the British government
had threatened confiscation unless ves
sels of the Norwegian-American line
accepted packing-house products for
deliver;- in Norway and guaranteed
consumption there such threats had
not been of a public nature.
This last issue was brought up when
packers placed before the Department
a complaint that the steamship Chris-
tiamarjord. due to sail from New York
today for Christiania. had been threat
ened with confiscation if she loaded
meat products destined for resident
buyers in Sweden on through bills of
lading via Christiania. Ambassador
Page has been instructed to make in
quiries in London as to this case.

MARY SHAW IS COMING
CELEBRATED ACTRESS AND SIF.
FRAGIST TO APPEAR AT ORPHIilM.
Playlet, "The Dickey Bird," AVUl Be
Presented AVIth Satire Akin to
Play by Ibsen.
Mary Shaw, who was leading woman
for Madame Modjeska for many years,
has been engaged to traverse the Or
pheum circuit and will be star of a
show at the Orpheum here In the early
part of next month. That the cele
brated actress would play for a week
here on her way to San Francisco is
me- word received by Carl Better, man
ager of the Orpheum.
Miss Shaw will present a playlet
called "The Dickey Bird," an act with
a delicate comedy twist and a vein of
aKin to tnat in the Ibsen plays,
with which Miss Shaw was long as
sociated. "The Dickev Bird" was writ.
ten by Harvey O'Higgins and Harriet
1'ord and was produced for the first
nine as a curtain-raiser for the Mormon
play. "Polygamy."
Miss Shaw's flyer In vaudeville brings
to light the fact that sho is an Ameri
can Duchess. Her activities for many
years have made Miss Shaw one of the
most prominent clubwomen in the
United States and from Coast to Coast
she is regarded as the best-known
worker for woman suffrage. In New
iorK recently the actress was singled
out as being the only Miss' in an as
semblage of clubwomen and she was
invited to address them as representing
the spinsters.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you," re
sponded the actress, "but I have been
married and I have a son at Harvard."
Later a friend of the actress related
that Miss Shaw was in reality Her
Grace, the Duchess de Cosse Briesac,
having married jr. de Briesac, a French
nobleman, secretly not long after her
stage debut at the Boston Museum. M.
de Briesac died shortly afterwards and
Miss Shaw kept her marriage and title
to herself so strictly that there was a
belief that she was the only bona fide
spinster in the Woman's Professional
League.

TRADING -SIAUPS UP
TO HIGHEST COURT
Contentions For and Against
Widespread Practice Sub
mitted at Washington.
GREAT BUSINESS INVOLVED
Premium Merchandise Used An
nually Said to Amount to $123,.
000,000, Representing Total of
$3,500,000,000. Purchases.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 6 There seems to be no
indication of how the United States Su
preme Court will decide the trading
stamp cases appealed from the State
f Washington and . arsrued recently.
In one of the cases appealed the law
was upheld by the Supreme Court of
the state; in the other case the state
officials were enjoined from enforcing
the terms of the act.
From the record in these two cases it
would appear that there have been all
manner of court decisions affecting
laws designed to wipe out the trading
stamp business, just as there have been
all manner of laws intended to put the
trading-stamp men out of business. The
Washington law proposes to tax the
trading stamp out of existence. It was
admitted by the state that the law was
intended not to raise revenue, but to
put an end to the trading business.
Consumer Pays, Says State.
The state pointed out that 23 states,
the District of Columbia and Hawaii
have attempted either to prohibit or
to license the selling or use of trading
stamps, and 14 states, the District of
Columbia and Hawaii have sought to
prohibit the use of trading stamps.
"That fact," said the Attorney-General,
of Washington, "should demon
strate the necessity of doing away with
a scheme which has ingrafted itself on
business to the benefit of nobody ex
cept the men engaged in selling these
trading stamps and coupons to the ul
timate cost of the consumer, with the
result that when the consumer buys one
article he not only must pay for it, but
for something else in addition."
Among the states which have sought
to prohibit the use of trading stamps
are Washington, Colorado and Min
nesota, while Oregon. Washington.
California and other states have sought
to license the trading-stamp business.
In both the Washington cases the
users of trading stamps contended that
the state law was in contravention of
the lith amendment.
X'se of Stamps Extensive.
The users of trading stamps make
their case primarily on the contention
that the state law is a violation of the
14th amendment. They showed that
trading stamps were first introduced
in 1851 by a well-known soap manufac
turer, and the practice has grown until
it is said that more than $125,000,000
worth of merchandise is used annually
in the United States for premium pur
poses. As the value of the premiums is
said to represent 2 to 3 per cent of the
gross amount of purchases made to se
cure stamps or coupons, it is contended
that "the sale of $3,500,000,000 of mer
chandise is directly promoted through
premium distribution."
"This method of business is. after
all, but a form of advertising," con
tended counsel for one of the trading-
biarnp concerns.
To offset this contention the state
maintained that firms giving trading
stamps of necessity charged the cost
of those stamps to the consumers.

An Ideal Remedy
for Nursing Mothers
Compound of Simple Laxative
Herbs Safe for Baby
and Mother.
Constipation is a condition that af
fects the old. 'young and middle-aged,
and most people at one time or
another need help in regulating the
action of the bowels. Harsh cathartics
and purgatives should not be employed
to relieve constipation, as their effect
is only temporary, while they shock
the system unnecessarily.
A remedy that can be used with per
fect safety for the tiniest babe and
that is equally effective for the
strongest constitution is found in the
combination of simple laxative herbs
known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
and sold in drug stores everywhere for
fifty cents a bottle. This is an ideal
household remedy and should be in
every family medicine chest.
Mrs. F. I. Barsolow, 18 Leslie St.,

"Syrup Pepsin certainly is fine. I gave
it to my baby, Evelyn, and also took. It
myself. It is the only medicine I have
been able to take without affecting
Baby in the nursing. I have used it for
German submarines reported to have
been destroyed. Activities of sub
marines in the Mediterranean, accord
ing to this theory, are designed to di
vert attention from the ending of the
campaign near the British Isles, as
well as to impress the Balkan states.
Other news, said to have been given
out by the German Minister to Rou-
mania. Is to the effect that Germany
decided to send most of her submarines
to the Mediterranean, having virtually
abandoned her campaign in British
waters in consequence of the agree
ments she has entered into with the
United States.
