ON THE DARDilELLES
Premier Asquith Intimated This In Speech Today-Says
Allies Will Not Desert Serbia In Her Pressing Need
Withdrawing Troops Fro ra Callipoli To Face Teutons In
the Balkans Is Being Seriously Considered Serbians
May Retreat to Montenegro
By Ed L. Keeu.
(United Press stuff correspondent.)
London, Nov. 2. The. first official
dint that tlie ullies may abandon their
attempt to force the Dardanelles tame
from Premier Asquith today in a sig
nificant speech iu commons.
While defending the campaign to
force these titan defenses of Constanti
nople, Asquith suggested that "anxious
iousidcrutton" is being given to the
campaign iu connection with requisi
tions for further men in the eastern
theatre.
By his sttaement, the premier prac
tically admitted that withdrawal from
(iallipoli to halt the Austro-Oermnns in
their proposed path across Bulgaria to
Constantinople is being seriously cou
riered. Everywhere his iinuouncement was
interpreted as meaning that the gov
ernment is discussing the matter of con
centrating in the eastern theatre in a
determine! effort to check the central
allies and to deliver a decisive stroke
(gainst them.
To Stand by Serbia.
The premier's announcement that the
nllies do not intend to desert their hard
pressed comrade in arms, Serbia, was
greeted with a storm of cheers. He
followed this statement with declara
tion that the purpose of General Jof
fre'B visit to Knglund has been to per
fect the allies' new campaign in the
Balkans.
"We cannot nllow Serbia to become
the prey of the sinister and nefarious
combination between Austria, Germany
ind Bulgaria," he said. 1 ' There is a
vuiujni-ir nurt-miium unions me uiues as
lo the ends to be pursued in the Bul
iians. That. Serbia may be assured
her independence is regarded as an es
sential object by her larger allies.
"When the allies were reproached for
being too lute to help Serbia, it must
be remembered thnt, to the lust, wo
had reason to believe that Greece would
acknowledge ber treaty obligations and
act accordingly. "
Outlook is Encouraging.
The premier called the outlook on all
fronts very encouraging. He noted that
the Germans had not guined a foot of
territory in their iuvusion of France
rtnd Flanders since April, and was ap
plauded when he stated that General
Nixon is "within nieaauruble distance
of Bagdad."
"Great Britain's fleet is mistress of
the seas," the premier continued. "The
Oermnu fleet is locked in the Baltic
Germany dares not show her face nny
where, where she can be dealt with.
"The transport department has car
ried 2,500,000 troops, and has trans-
ported 330,000 sick and wounded with
it loss of life less than one-tenth of
one per cent. This is a record of which
the nation may well be proud."
"The Dardanelles are receiving
anxious consideration in connection
with largo requisitions of men for the
"iisteru theatre," the premier said.
"Our financial situation is serious.
Though wo are rich and resourceful, we
cannot sustain the present burdens un
less both government and individuals
exercise the strictest economy.
"I have not the lenst fear that it
mill be necessary to proceed beyond
Iiord Derby's voluntary recruiting
scheme, but I am determined to stop at
nothinir. I am determined that we
shall win this war. Sooner than not
win It, I would not hesitate to propose
mime form of compulsory enlistment.
Confident or winning.
A onltli ' announcements his prom-
Thcr must be such a thing as th' ele
ment o' luck or how could some folks
git byf Th' dealer novor has your
size In th' shirt you pick out lu a Jhuiv
window.
ised statement of the war situation
created a profound impression in com
mons. Concerning cabinet differences over
conscription, the premier said:
"Ju my opinion, it is a question of
purely practical expediency. 1 do not
rule out compulsion but I hold it should
bo resorted to only by mutual consent.
"As long as 1 enjoy the confidence
of my sovereign and commons, I will
not surrender the task, great as it is.
I am confident as I was 15 mouths ago,
that we will carry our righteous cause
to a triumphant conclusion."
While admitting that the British cas
ualties have been 377,000 along their
front in Flanders, the premier offset
this with tho cheering news that two
German or Turkish buttleships, five
gunboats, one torpedo boat, eight trans
ports and 197 supply ships had been
sunk or damaged by British submarines
in the Sea of Marmora.
What aid her colonial possessions
have given her was shown by his count
us follows:
Canada had recruited 9G,000 men;
Australia, 92,000; New Zealand, 25,000;
South Africa, 6,500; Newfoundland,
1,000, and the West Indies, 2,000.
Situation is CriUc.il.
Athens, Nov. 2. The Serbian situa
tion wns regarded today as so critical
that it was expected tho Serb army
would retreat to Montenegro and Al
bania to concentrate with a view to
getting munitions via the Adriatic.
The Btilgnr forces were smashing
against Nish. Teutons, who captured the
mighty arsenal town, o" Kragujevatz
are are expected to join the attack, un
less the defenses of Serbia's war cap
ital aro battered down before the Ger
mans can come up.
Russian troops were reported" to have
landed at Varna on the Bulguriuu Black
sea coast.
Allied strategy apparently seeks to
place n check in the path of the Teu
tons eastward, rather than to strike an
effective blow while the Teutons are
still pressing in Serbia.
Torpedo Boat Sunk.
London, Nov. 2. The British torpedo
boot No. 90 was sunk In a'collision
at tho Straight of Gibraltar, the ad
miralty annouuoed today. Two officers
and nine men are believed to have been
drowned.
Allies at Greek Port.
London, Nov. 2. Knglish and French
troops and transports have arrived at
Knvnln, a Greek port on the Aegeuu
sea, 80 miles west of Salonika and 20
miles from Bulgaria, according to the
Berliner Tageblatt todny.
This reported move lends strength to
the supposed plan of the allies to halt
the Teutons in their proposed drive
across Bulgaria to Constantinople.
Serbia Communication Cut.
London, Nov. 2. Fears that the Bul
garians have captured Monastir, in
southern Serbia, were expressed in an
Athens message today.

Other States Look to Oregon
for Latest Methods in Rural
Schools and
That Oregon is leading the other
states in the matter of improving con
ditions in the rural schools, ami thus
bringing about a complete change in the
social life of the country, is shown by
the universal interest that is now being
taken in her rurul system. One of the
lectures at the meeting of the Califor
nia State grunge, held ut Oakland a
week ago, told the delegates of the
standard school plan being used in the
Oregon schools, and said that every
delegate ought to visit the Oregon ex
hibit in the educutionul palace before
returning home. 11. C. Lutley, master
of the grunge at St. Helena, said, in
speaking of the Oregon exhibit:
"We nrn standnrdiixng our schools
according to the Oregon plan, and we
are proud to say tbut our schools are
making wonderful progression. Nine
teen districts in our countv have ap
propriated from $200 to 900 each in
order to become stnnduril. We have
found much in this exhibit that is a real
value to us in improving conditions."
So many visitors at the Oregon booth
have asked for a complete copy of all

RED HOT CAMPAIGN ENDS,
By United Press Staff CorrespouTent
New York, Nov. 2. Today tiie men
of Now York, Ponusylvmiia and Massa
chusetts will say by ballot whether
thoir women shall be given the vote.
A heavy vote in New York and Mas
sachusetts and a light vote in Pennsyl
vania nave boon rorocasted. Whirl
wind finish campaigns ended last night.
Early this morning suffragists wore at
every polling place to buttonhole the
men as they arrived and make thoir
final pint for a favorable decision.
The antis also were represented gen
erally, but their campaign has taken
more tho form of billboard, street car
and hand bill statements than personal
propaganda worK.
Should Pennsylvania vote for suff
rage, the "Justice Bell, " dupliciite of
tho Liborty Bell which has been carried
about the sttito for months with its
shackled chipper prominently displayed,
will be rung in Philadelphia. If suff
rage is defeated, it cannot be votod on
again in Pennsylvania until 1920.
Submission of tho suffrage question
to New York voters toilay comes (17
years after Susan B. Anthony first took
up tho fight for "votes for women."
The constitutional amendment has pass
ed the legislature and the vote today is
a legislative referendum to the people
Governor Whitman will voto "yes"
and Mrs. Whitman has been prominent
in the pro-suffrage campaign.
In Massachiisctta the men are to voto
on the constitutional amendment giv
ing tho women Uo nuht to vote. The
suffragists' campaign in this slate has
been more conservative than in the oth
er two, although several big parades
nave been staged in Huston, similar to
Out big one iu New York and those in
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Then Fled From the Field Leaving, It Is Claimed, 400
Dead and Wounded
Douglps, Ariz., Nov. 2. General
Frederick Funston, commanding tho
United Statos border ioreos here, soon
after his arrival this morning wbb in
former that Francisco Villa, severely
dofoted in his ntempt to take Agua
Prietu from tho OnrrnnzisUiB, was plan
ning a new assault.
According to information conveyed
to Funstou, Villa said: "1 must take
Agua Prieta, or else my men will starve
to death. Capture of the city is tho
only solution to my problem. I did
not attack as heavily as possible Inst
night and early this morning because
1 believed the tent colony of Agua
Pricta, housing CarrnriKa refugees was
on American soil, Hcully it is 300
yards south of tho border. When it
comes to firing hereafter, 1 will shoot
my cannon uuy place 1 want to."
It was learned hero that Funston is
contemplating a general order for an
exodus of American women from Doug
las in anticipation of American inter
ference in Mexico, and a clash with
Villa while Funston made no reference
to tho shclliiig of Douglas last night,
it is known ti repetition of lust night's
uttack would not be permitted by him.
Defeated But Defient.
Douglus, Ariz., Nov. 2 Dcfcutcd, but
still defiant, General Francisco Villa at
noon todny declared ho would rcorgan
i.o his shuttcrod army immodiutely and
return to the attuck on Agua Prietu.
The retreat of Villa's main column
has been halted several miloa oust of
Agua Prieta A hord of 500 cattle,
found on tho Mexican side of the lino,
was confiscated by the VilliBtns, butch
ered, and tho beef devoured half cook
ed by the ravenous soldiers. This toiu
Hnarily relieves the hunger problem.
While tho Carrnuzistiis were cheoring
und celebrating their victory, a small
infantry column of VillisUw returned to
tho deserted buttlcficld ami took up po
sitions before the city. By this time
most of tho wounded had been brnugnt
in, some being carried, and others limp
ing or hobbling along as best they
might.
General C'alles wns in his offico near
tho plaza when couriers brought him
word thta the Villistus were halting ft

"If Villa returns "to the attuck,"
said ChIIch, "he is insane."
Nevertheless ( 'alios ordered his gar
rison to bold itself ready to resume the
fight, if need bo. He made no attempt
to pursue Villa, being content to have
his men remain behind thoir earth

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 2. With lead!
from the Agua Prietu buttle sputtering

town.
'I'h ii assault begun by Villa at 1 a.

1 lu I lets from Villa's lines had fallen in
every stroet iu Douglas. Some dead
Mexicans littered the ground iu Agua

ualties wore not extremely heavy.
I'p to daylight, the commanders of
United Slates troops patrolling the bor
der regarded the situation passively.
They lyd not ordered, n they had
threatened, a relurti of the. Mexicans'
fire when it ruined over Douglus und
wounded Americans in its wake.
They seemed to be awaiting the ar
rival of General Funston, scheduled for
today.
Only tho lateness of tho hour pre
vented greater American casualties.
When the ussault lii'Kan in earnest, in
the eurlv hours of today, Douglus, wiiiii
out by its watchful curiosity or by
fear, hnd tucked itself away tor the
night.

Itoforo the general attuck stinted,

this, however, Villistus bravely charged

Villistas Daring Coup.
Today Douglas kept discreetly ' in
doors. Schools and smelters wera
closed. The people did not manifest
quite as much curiosity as during the
previous battles.
The Villistas scored a daring coup
during the night. Twenty snipers
sneaked across the American border
and shattered two of the Carranzistyi
searchlights, which were playing on
Villa's army and making the work of
the Curranza guns easy.
Then they made their, jray back un
der tho cover of darkness, without be
ing located by American patrols.
The artillery fire tore up Agua Prie
ta visibly, for two hours, before Villu 's
night assault began.
The first Villa night assault started
at 0:40 last evening. For a time it
seemed general, but ufter the Villistas
had reached the wire entanglements
facing the Curranza trenches the firing
ceased. Sporadic renewals occurred
later in the evening but the real action
did not open until after midnight.

Villa's army is disintegrating, many

Soma time later the general retreat
commenced. Just too late to partici

Vuqui Indians appeared at 9 o'clock.
Gononul Klius Calles, commanding the
Curranzistas at Agua Prieta, sent fresh
troops into the trenches to oppose them
if they attempted an attack.
All ('alios' cannon are intact, but
many buildings in Agua Prieta have
been badly damaged by Villa's shells.
