Tho Serbian city of Seinendrin ui tho Danube, east of Belgrade, has been captured by the Germans. The war office announced today that both the town and fortress of Semcndria were captured. Tho Aus-tro-German forward movement upon tho whole Setbiau fiont is making good progress. IlitssLitus Victorious PETBOOBAD, Oct. 12. Bussian forces have pierced the Austro-Oer-mnu lines on the Stripa river. They havo already taken prisoner more than 2000 men and sixty ofticers, and bnvo captured four guns nnd ten rapid-firers. The Kussinu advance is being pushed vigorously. LONDON', Oct. 12. -The now Dal knu campaign came to the foro stilt more prominently today with the an nouncement that Bulgarian troops had invaded Serbia, attacking at Ivniasiievatz. Thus far few details, have been received of this movement, which bus- been generally expected. Tho speech of Former Premier Yeni.elos in the Greek chamber of deputies is regarded in England ns fnvorablc to the cause of the entento allies. The declaration of tho former premier thai it was no longer a ques tion of whether Oreeeo ought to mako war, hut merely when she should do so, was made with tho ap proval of a majoiily of the chamber. The former premier told the govern ment plainly that onlv so long as his policy was followed would it receivo his support. Conflicting Heports Dotailed information is lacking eonoorning the progress of the Serb ian campaipi. Tho Germans assert they are advancing steadily lo the south of the Danube, although they make no spoeifio mention of the amount of ground gained or the points taken. Unofficial dispatches from Nish state that the Serbians have checked the Ociuian advance at Hcvoral points on the Danube, in some eases throning back tho invaders across'the riwr. In other directions they are said to have driven the in vaders out of Serbian villages taken in tho firt nsonults.

Provoking cxploHlons at a dlstanco by tho trans mission of electric sparge is an Im possibility, according to Dr. Kdouard Urnnly who, in 1890, discovered moans of closing and opening an olec trlo current nt n dlstanco without tho iiso of a transmitting wire, which is tho principle of wlreloss telcRrnphy.

Although little stress is hud upon it in tho of ficial report, the stieoosfc obtained by tho Bussians iu n counter-attack on a front of twelve miles long from Garbouuovltn to I.nutzossghoy, never tbelehs, was a derided one. The Ger mans were compelled lo evacuate tho territory around the highway from Dvinsk to Noo Alexiiudriev. The general staff regards the blow delivered to the Germans iu this din triet ns a serious monneo to the dis position of their forces between Novo Alexandriev and tho railway from Dvinsk to Ponicwneh. Simultaneous' ly a strong movement of the Bussians southeast of Dwusk has pressed tho Germans to the natural defenses formed by the hue of lakes. Press ing them westward from Vidzy, Bus inu cavalry occupied the village of Oslic, on the west bnnk of Lake Bog ensky. Thus the GormnuR havo been driven further from tho Dvinsk group of highways and tho roads leading to them. The new positions occupied by the Biihshius around Dviiptk fully cover tho city and its environs, nnd taking up of the new lines, has neutralized previous Gorman successes. LONDON, Oct 12.

Th United States in n noto dispatched to Gormnny today to bo presented by' Ambnssador Gerard on tho caso of tho Amorlcnn ship "William Tryo asks that If it is found necessary to destroy American ships cnrrylng nbsolute con traband, pnssongors nnd crews be re moved to n safer nlnco than small boats.
