PARIS, Oct. 16. Heavily beset'
upon three sides, the Serbians are
making a last ditch fight for life.
Military circles conceded help must
reach them speedily If of any avail.
Serbian reports claim the Serbians
are holding their own against the
Bulgarians and the Austrlans In the
west along the Drlna. but admit the
Aualro-Qermaa drive northward Is
steadily progressing In the Morava
valley. Von Hackensen la reported
hurling his forces against the Serbs
regardless of losses. Nlsh reported
the central allies' losses are enormous
In their effort to batter their way to
Constantinople. Military circles ad
mit the Teutons will reach Constanti
nople unless the Serbians are rein
forced soon.
The allied troops landed at Salon
ika are reported to be pushing lnte
Serbia. It Is not believed .however,
they are numerous enough to accom
plish much, and It Is known a
stronger force Is imperatively needed.
Italian reports, unconfirmed, said
communications are cut between Sa
lonika ftnd Russia and between Ser
bia and Rumania while the Unitar
ians are believed to be atmlnc at a
bold stroke to cut the railway . line
lending to Salonika. Rumania, said
Bucharest dispatches, has definitely
decided to remain neutral and has
troops on her borders to maintain
this position. The conviction grows
the allies will withdraw their forces

FALL ON
BILLS 10 BE
Canal Bonds for $250,000,000 to Raise Part of
Needed Money-Tariff Announcement Will
Make Subject "Dead as Mackerel" -Leaders
to Confer. v
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. The administration has practi
cally decided to sell a quarter billion worth of government
bonds to provide money for national defense. These are the
Panama canal bonds, still unused, and will be used solely tow
ard a partial payment of a four hundred million expenditure
planned for the army and navy extension. The president
hopes to secure the difference from other revenues. He will
urge a continuation of the sugar tax, and in addition hopes to
get increased returns from the income tax, customs and inter
nal revenue taxes. The needs of the future in the nation's five
year preparedness program will be met as they arise. The
means of obtaining money assuring a united support in the vast
undertaking will be discussed in a "war" conference of demo
cratic leaders before congress reconvenes. The administra
tion will make the defense bills party measures.
The house rules committee is expected to rush their consid
eration, and all the influence of the administration will be
turned toward getting them through as expeditiously and
smoothly as possible. It is stated the president intends to stand
or fall on the national defense program. It will be the issue of
the coming national campaign. When the president announces
his stand on the tariff, it is said, the subject will be as "dead as
a mackerel" as a campaign issue. He will stand for conces
sions "deemed necessary" in a readjustment of the tariff.
The administration program for
national defense to be recommended
to the forth-coming session of con
gress, proposing a total expenditure
of about 6400.000,000 was practical
ly completed last night. Secretary
Garrison's plan, approved by the
president, calls for an Increase of
I75,000-.0fl0 In the war department's
annual appropriation to be used for
augmenting the regular army to
1 40.000 and the creation of a new
continental army of 400.000 men.
which, together with the militia of
125.000. would give the United States
a military force In time of need of;
665.000. Approval, also was given;
today to the proposal of Secretary i
Daniels and the general board of the
navy, for a five-year naval construc
tion plan to cost 1500. 000,000, giving
the navy 10 new dreadnaught and:
six battle cruisers as well as more
than TO submarines. SO destroyers.

BY WALLA WALLA JURY
WALLA WALLA. Wash. Oct 16.
After deliberating eight minutes
the Jury In the Cornelius W. Camp
bell case, charged with murder In
the first degree, returned a verdict
of not guilty yesterday afternoon.
Campbell, who was accused of ad

Donald, 15 year old girl who made
her home with the Campbell family,
left the court room with his wife
smiling. He had been at liberty , n

The verdict was not a surprise to
those who had watched the progress
of the trial. Thp pvldpnce of the

was responsible for the condition of

DEFENSE
PARI! MEASURES
Secretary Garrison has carefully
guarded his plan for strengthening
the military establlsnmpnts and or
ganizing a great continental army for
defense and practically nothing was
known of It until last night. The
program proposes:
FlrstRpgular arm?. 140.000 men.
an Increase of more than 50 000 men
in the prpspnt establishment.
Second A continental army, 400.
000 strong, enlisted for six years for
service within the continental United
States. These men would serve two
months a year for the first three
years, with the colors, undprgoing a
period of Intensive training;. A re
maining three years they would be on
furlough, subject to call In time ot
need.
It is estimated that 40.000 of ths
