LONDON", Oct. 18. Serbian and
Anglo-French troops have, occupied
tho Bulgarian town of Stnimitza,
north of Saloniki, nceording to offio
ial telegrams from Athens. This fol
lows closely upon news that Serbians
with nllied assistance have repulsed
a Bulgarian attack at Vilandovo,
turning tho advunco of tho Bulgari
ans into ti retreat beyond their own
border.
Thus the Anglo-French-Serbian ac
tion in the Balkans has leaped out ot
the field of faunni.se into a vivid fore
ground of fact and is asserted by
London military observers to have
been crowned at tho outset with sue
cess.
At Psychological Moment
This arrival of French troops nt
tho psyobojogicul moment when the
Serbian (Wiggle with '10,000 newly'
arrived Bulgarians at Vilandovo and
Htmdovo still hung in tho balance
has dramatic qualities which for tb6
moment have completely eclipsed tha
military exploits in tho other the
uters.
Tho chief military importance ot
the allied-Serbian suceeiR is the dc
feat of tho Bulgarian project of cut'
ting tho Saloniki-Nish railroad, which
is known to have been the Bulgarian
objective. It is not clear whethei
British troops co-hpernted with thi
1'iench in this operation, but a mos
hago from Athens Mating they ban
left Saloniki Saturday for tho Sorbo
Bulgarian frontier indicated they nS
least were tho sceno of tho fighting
SoUo Htilfcnr Port
Bussian and Italian help thus fill
has been only indirectly exerted bt
increased aggressiveness against tbi
Austro-Germnns, which makes a fur
ther deflection of Teutonic forces 16
the Balkans impracticable.
Two-thirds of tho Serbian anuy i
Riinl in Athens advices to have been
sent against the Bulgarians, while thi
remaining third is resisting Field
Marshal Von Mnekenzen's big nnny
in tho north.
Tho entente allies have effected rt
lauding at F.nos, on tho Kiigcnn scjv,
in F.uropenn Turkey, close) 10 the Bul
garian border, and hnvo Seized Hit
railroad at that point, according to
n dispatch from Athens to the Mes
hoggoro of Itome, transmitted by thfi
Central News.

Case Against New Haven Wreckers
Begun History of Railroad Out
lined Multimillionaires Accused of
Conspiracy to Monopolize Inter
state Commerce.
NEW YOIHC, Oct. 18. Tho jurors
chosen to try William Rockefeller,
Iicwis Cass Iicdyard, hdwnrd D. Bob
bins and eight other directors or for
mer directors of the New York, New
Haven & Hnrtford railroad, charged
with conspiracy to monopolize inter
stnlo commerce under tho Sherman
law, took their scats in tho federal
court today to hear tho opening nd-
dress of H. L. Baits, attorney foi
jhn government.
Mr. Batts planned to ontlino tho
ense in chronological order, beginning
in 1800, tho ditto of tho enactment of
tho Sherman law, and tracing tho
various transactions under which for
merly independent railroads, trolley
lines nnd steamship companies in
Now England were brought into Uio
New Haven fold.
Consider Combine- Methods
In his opening statement Mr. Baits
said that tho jury would bo asked to
consider the methods by which the
nlleKcd unlawful acts of the New Ha
ven were doue, as well as the acts
themselves. Ho declared ho wanted
to make it clear that there was no
suggestion intended by tho govern
ment that the component parts of tho
Now Hindi should bo returned to
their original status, ns tho combina
tion of these parts was not neces
sarily unlawful.
Tho government nnd tho law did
not deprecate and undertake to pun
Ish beneficial natural growths, lid
said, but tho Now Haven wns a com
bination which could hnve been
brought together and given good ser
vice without bringing nbout a situa
tion where "tho people of this New
England district are at tho mercy of
a powerful combination."
Mellon Star Witness
How Charles S. Mellen, who is ex
pected to be the government's star
witness in the case, firnt came to go
with tho New Haven wns described by
tho government. Mr. Mellen was then
qeneral manager of tho New York &
New England nnd had threatened
freight rate cuts ugaiust tho New
Haven.
Tlrirc was, at tho time Mr. Mellen
joined the New Haven, a suit pond
ing against the New England to re
train n proposed issue of securities
bv which the Now England wonted to
rniso funds. The New Enabling di
rectors, Mr. Batts chnrged, acquired
this suit nnd caused its prosecution
"by nttomoys whoso relationship to
Ihe New Haven wns concealed."
Tho government would show, Mr.
Bntts said, that .7. P. Morgan, Will
iam Hockefcllcr, C. P. Clark and Lu
cius Tuttlo agreed to indemnify Aus
tin Corbin for tho consequences of
Uieir maintenance of tho suit.
