Conf Uctlnn Reports From Near East
Bulgarian Attacks Beaten Back
Monastir A(jaln In Danger
Greek Action Still a Matter of
Speculation.
SALOXIKi, Nov. 10. After heavy
fighting with tho reinforced Bulgar
ian troops in southern Sorbin, tho
French were compelled to retire nt
two points in the vicinity of Grnd
iseo, twnhc miles not tit of the Greek
border.
A Bulgarian attack along tho
Coma river was repulsed with heavy
losses to tho nltnekers.

The buttle on tho Conm wan united
nloin- the left bank of the ricr. Tun
or thrco Uitlgitrinn divisions were en
gaged nnd n desperate nttempt was
inttilo to piereo tho French center.
The engagement was in progress with
Jurious intensity for thirty-six hours,
after which tho Bulgnrinns were
beaten buck ulong tliis entire front.
Tho bitutitinn in Macedonia is dc-
eloping rapidly. Large reinforce
ments have been brought in by the
Itulgitiinns, who are milking renewed
ef foils to foico Unburni puss. The
Serbians ro .still linldinir out there,
hut this movement threatens Perlcpc
Miul Monastir. .Many inliabitauts of
Monastir are picpnriug to depart.
Tlio member.s of tho diplomatic corps
have changed their plans mid intend
to proceed to Scutari, Albania, in
stead of to Monastir.

I .OX HON', Xov. Ki. Tho exact
situation in rcuttal Macedonia is un
certain. Disnntehes from the near

the time of events to which they re
fer injects an additional element of
imemtninly. It is elenr, however,
tint the Unitarians have been rein
forced and luivo begun n new offen
sive. The operations in rentrnl Mace
duiiia, iceoiding to Home nccoiints,
lresent u most powerful menace to
the armies of Serbia mid her allies,
which are oporating from Tetovo
through Perlepo to the southeastern
Seibian frontier. Telegrams receiv
ed almost simultnnenus from Oioeeo

What Gieceo will do in event the
nllied troop nre forced back over the
Greek border is till a matter of
speculation. A message from Gieceo
savs tho government will extend, to
the Serbians the same privileges as
those accorded to tho French and

the fact that no definite announce -inent

WASHINGTON, Xov. 10. The
American Koveriimcnt will nunit the
receipt of the Austrian government's
statement of fncts concerning tho
sinking of the Italian liner Aneonn
before considering whether any rights
cf Americans hnvo been violated.
Thoso facts probnbly will be sought
through Ambassador I'cnficld at Vi

foie it the Itiili.m government's com
munication uddrcH'd to neutral na

Aneonn as "an unpurnllolcd atrou

Ambassador I'cnficld at Vienna to
request from the AiiKlro-lIungntiun
government complete details of the
pinking of the Italian steamer An
co'ia. Tho message was sent after the
department had received through the
Austro-llungiujan embassy here the
statement made by the Austrian min
istry of tnniinc, Seeretnrv Lnnsing
snid tho statement did not contain

of Sorbin, despite his advanced age,
is fighting with his soldiers in tho

vate, according to M Jneowsehoff,
secretary of the ltussian legation in
Greece, who nnived hero toduv from
Miltoitn, wentern Seibin, Inning
como by way of Albnnia.
The aged king seeks donth, accord
ing to tho Hiissieii diplomat, faying:
"When 1 nm killed you enn ileo or
surrendor,"
Old Serbia is lost, and now Seibin
is in n precarious condition, in the
opinion of the secretary, who iiMcrlcd
tho Scihiaiii nt Unbiinu pass could
not hold out much loneer, nnd that
tho only hope whs thbt tho Seibutn
force concent rated nt Mitrotitxa
would piove to bo stiong enough to
take the offensive and ndwiuce
through Tetovo towards .Monastir.
"The morale of tho Serbiuns is
splendid," ho continued. "Half-train
ed leeruits march to battle singing
iiko veterans. Famine and mixeiv
prevail. Thero is no bread nt Mitro
itza. The people are i educed to eat

XKW YOKIC, Xov. 10. When tho
ease of the five men indicted hero in
the alleged Germnn bomb conspiracy
was called in tho federal district
court today, domurrers were entered
in bohnlf of two defendants, Hubert
Fnv nnd Walter Seholz. The de

On Issue of "Atlcquato Prepared
ness" Roosevelt Will Support Any
Republican for President Save
Root, Taft and Friends Wants
Quarter Million Additional Men.
Ily GILSOX GAHDXFH.
XKW YORK, Nov. 10. On nn is
sue of ndequnto pieparcdne.sa Thco
doro KoosovcU would supirart any ro
ptiblicnn who was not nn active par
ticipant in tho theft of his nomina
tion four yenrs ago. On theso
grounds Hoot, Taft and their friends
aro burred.
I mako this statement on tho very
best authority.
Cummings would bo eligiblo for
Itoosovolt's support. Durlon is nl
most loo recent a convert to prepar
edness to satisfy tlio colonel.
Doriih might got the KoosovcU sup
port in spite of tho fact that tho con
servationists nro entirely dissutisfied
with his conservation record. Uornh,
it is assumed, would stand for u.
sliong preparedness program.
I'rlco of Support
As the price of his support, Roos
evelt would insist on u short platform
making adequate preparedness tho
leading issue. This might bo supple
mented by a declaration in favor of
u tariff of tho kind which would
"puss prosperity around." Hut tho
whole platform would bo briof, not
bo over a thousand words long, and
would have to stress preparedness oh
tho ono big issue.
Roosevelt's willingness to back n
republican candidate is promised on
the idea that tho Wilson program is
iitadequnte. Spreading thaiiavnr in
crease over it long "period of timo is
unsatisfactory to him, and tho colo
nel has no patience with tho pluu lo
raise u continental army of volun
teers, who, lie says, would not ol
miteer in sufficient numbors nnd who
would not ho ndequntoly trained.
Ho insists that tho regular unity
bo strengthened to u point where it
could ho relied upon to cheek an at
tempted invasion nnd hold the in
vader until tho partly trained volun
teers could bo brought into action.
Wnnt-s iiT.0,000 Men in Army
For this purpose- RooHcvelt recom
mends nn additional quarter of a bil
lion men to tho regular tinny with a
proportionate numbor of officers. N
Whutover program the republicans
adopt, Roosevelt will not support
Root. This is tiuthoritnti.c nnd
final.
Tall; of supporting n republican
candidate does nyt moan that tho
progressive havo abandoned their
party or their plans to havo a can
didate. On the contrary, tho ehanco
Hint the lopublicauw wjll come to tho
Rnosexelt term, nre rcgutdcd by tho
lending progressives us almost nil.
Stnudisittcrs Firm
Up to date tho stsudpnt crowd in
control of tho republican party ma
ohineiy nnd uumpnign funds havo not
seriously considered men like Cum
mins ami Uornh. Thtrir only serious
consideration hud been given such
men as Weeks, Hut ton nnd Grandpa
Root. Therefore, tho progressive
IHtrly a -id its program uru still tho
serious consideration.
Tho stuiinehost progressive in tho
field nt tho prcsont moment is Geo.
V. Perkins, elmiruuiu of tho purty's
executive eomiuitteo. Perkins is a
daily rallying cry to tho party, IIu
is speaking, writing, traveling and
toiling mviiy ut the jmrty organin
