Rcrort of the Capture of Monastir
Not Confirmed, Thounh Fall Ex

laying German Advance.
LONDON, Xov. 20. Although no
ofilriul confirmation has been rcceiv
fd of tho rejwrt that tho Mulgnrinna
Jmvii cuptnrod Monustir, in south
western ScrJiin, little hope is felt in
r,nginiiii mat mo nnnouneement is
premature. Accepting it ns true, the
impression is growing thut tho en
tente allies arriveil too late to give
any service to the Serbians.
The only thing certain in regard to
the plight of Serbia is that its mili
tary Kituatiou is going from bad to
worse. In thu north the main Serb
ian nnnicti arc giving vvny slowly be
low tho battering Austro-Oenwin
forces, which probably will move
more rapidly if weather conditions
were better. It is established that
tho Bulgarians arc in l'rilcp and at
least have made Monustir untenable.
Tho Anglo-French armies based on
Salouiki seem to do no better than
hold their positions.

LONDON, Xov. 20 An Athens

death of twolvo persons and the

the air attack on Verona four per

An Atheift dispatch to London, fil
ed yesterday, casts some doubt on
the unofficial reports that Monustir
is in the htluiU of tho Bulgarian-.
Tho dispatch reported a Seibiau ad
Mince at Monustir unit added that the
intentions toward Monustir of the
Bulgarians who had oeoupied l'rilcp
were unknown. London, howovor, ac
cepts the report of Monastir's fall
as probably nuthuntic.

men rented a room at 407 Stark
street Inst Monday and told the land
lady that they had come from San
Francisco two weeks ago. The iden
tity of neither the alleged murderer
nor bis victim has been discovered.
It is believed the murder occurred
some time yoslerdny morning. Ac-
cording to tho landlady, tho lnrg
num. who was about .10 years old and
light complected, had an express man
come to the door of the lodging house
late ycstenlny efteinoon and helped
him carry tho trunk containing the
body down to tho wagon. The police
arc looking for tho expressman.

In the room where the murder oc
curred n mattress on the bed was
found sonked with blood. Blood ulso
was spattered on the wall and floor,
indici'ting there had been a struggle.
It is bclievtd the man was killed with
a hammer which bis companion had
obtained from tho basement of the
house and later replaced.
Tho blood-soaked bed had been
covered with new sheets, which the
lig man appaicntly had purchased
nller tho miihlur. The blood-soaked

is n Kcrvieo department blank on

Yule lost courage in the first five
