Berlin, Nov. 20. Their ranks alrend.
badly weakened by captures and priva
tions, the Serbians today are fighting
to escape complete crushing by the
Teutonic armies.
But the Teutons steadily, remorse
lessly, arc closing their trap on the
I'luiu of the Black Bird in western
Herbia, while the remnants of the
northern Serb army seek to make their
way into Montenegro. Meantime the
Austrians are driving southward to
help their Bulgar allies expel the forces
of the eutento powers.
With Scutari, reported now as the
locatiou of Serbian government offic
ials after shifting from pillar to post,
there is n possibility of some aid from
thnt direction for the Serb forces, but
experts here believe that the Serbs will
lie cornered and slaughtered before they
cnn either dash across the Montenegrin
frontier or receive this desired succor.
The battle about Trilep, in southern
Serbia, still rages. .
Mouastir is on the verge of capture.
Possibility of a declaration of war
between Italv and Germany is fore
seen in the dispatch of Italian forces
to tho Balkan campaign.
Reports indicate that Italy is pre
pared to send at least 40,000 men there.
Meantime, the action of Russia is be
ing closely watched. The belief is grow-
X that she has determined to land a
ivy force in the Balkan in an effort
urn the scale against the Teutons.
Austrian forces operating on the
Plain of the Black Bird have reached
a point south of Mitrocitza to Vucurn.
Herman forces are trying to relieve the
pressure resulting frtvn the increase or
allied forces in the nrdar valley.
Meantime, Berlin confidently be
lieves that a.few days more will sco de
velopments ot importance in tne tei
binn theatre another victory for her
arms, nioro striking than she has yet
obtained,

Taris, Nov. 2(1. As a sequel to set
tlement of the Grecian diplomatic
crisis, the allies arc landing further
forces at Salonika, according to re
ports today, in the assurance that they
will not be molested.
Kxperts here believe, however, thnt
tho allies do not intend to attempt an
extensive sweep in Serbia, instead, it is
thought, thy will swing northeast from
V skub in south central Serbia to Sofia.
Communications, with Constantinople
can be cut there as readily as any
where, and in addition to achieving this
aim, the allies would have the advant
age of striking at the vitals of Bulgaria.

Coroner's Jury Shown by
Evidence
Ravensdale, Wash., Nov. 20. It is
reported today that the coroner's jury
investigating the explosion in the
Northwest Improvement company's
mine here two weeks ago, which killed
thirty-one miners, will find the explo
sion was caused by a miners open lump
igniting a pocket of gns. There had
been doubt as to whether a gas pock
et or a premature blast was responsible
for the tragedy.
The finding of a dead miner with his
lamp open and the body in such a po
rtion as to indicate the explosion orig
inated in a peak in tho roof of tho
third level, led to the jury's findings.
Coroner Miison has subpoenaed be
tween 50 and 100 witnesses to testify
nt the inquest nevt Wednesday, at
which time an effort will be made to
fix the blame for the presence of such
a bodv of ens in the mine.
Families of the dead miners have
been extended credit at the company's
;tore until further notice.

"Folks who sny my plan is foolish

he snid apropos of his plan to start a

" '0111 of tho trenches by Christ :

New Yor, Nov. 2fl.-rDespite rumors
of a mistrial, the case charging flam
burg-American directors witn customs
violations in supplying German com
inerce raiders, and linking German At
tache Boy-ed therewith, was resumed
here today. The prosecutor denied that
the government had evidenco that one
juror was iindesirnblo bocauso of state
ments he had made. ,
Olnf Neilsen testified that lie com
manded the Norwegian vessel Nepos
when the Hamburg-American officials
chartered ner. The supercargo of the
vessel Philadelphia introduced Neilsen
to the defendant llereineister.
"The supercargo told me thnt we
were to sail to Tenerjffo and meet cor
tain ships at sea," Nelson testified. "I
was told that 1, wnJjd. receive $1,000
gratuity and protect. ,n if anything
happened."
The real purpose of tho Nepos, how
ever, Neilsen declared, was to meet the
German raider Kron Prinz Wilhelm
later intered at Newport News.
'Hut our cargo of coal caught tire,"
he explained, "and tho ship was dam-
asied. We sold the cargo nt Teneriffe,
and the home -.,'fico then notified pic
that the charter was cancelled.
'Supercargo Floror told me not to
worry, for the German consul and the
Hamburg-American line would protect
me if the Nepos was seized.

Monastir, Nov. 23. (Delayed.)
Sedbia is starving.
Even her animals, fleeing before the
invaders, are dying of hunger along the
roadsides and up .the steep mountain
paths.
In large areas there has been no
food for days. Great packs of dogs are
prowling, like wild animals, in search
of food. The world has developed no
scenes of greater borrow. The Nish
MJonastir road is a highway of agony,
more dreadful than the corpse-strewn
trails of the old Klondike. It is lined
with dead horses, fntersnersed with hu
man bodios dead from exhaustion and
starvation.
Bofugecs are streaming in hero, semi
delirious from privations or hysterical
ly joyful at reaching safety.
After a 20 day trip from Nish, Ma
dame Slavko Groiych said to me today:
"Even the horses wo rode were
starving. Some of them fell exhausted
and died before our eyes. We were
members of a government party, but
most we could get to eat daily was a
scanty halt loaf of bread.
"Other women and children, as well
as men, dragged along each day foot
by foot, with little or nothing to eat.
Women who had fallen ill from lack of
nourishment, lay beside the road to
die surrendering-their children to .the
care of strangers.
"Only a narrow horse trail through
Albania now leads to Serbia since the
Bulgars cut the railroad line. The same
road supplies Montenegro and Albania,
we are facinc starvation, too.
"But the happenings in Serbia make
the blackest page in history."
M. Michotte de Welle, Belgian min
ister to Serbia, a -member of Mme.
Groivch's partv corroborated her story.
"Before I left," he said, "I offered
the servants money. They cried 'We
can't eat gold," they said, 'For God's
sake have vou no bread 1'
"One night we beard the wild scream
of a man along a mountain road. We
learned afterward that he had boon
murdered ior a little chunk of bread.
"Serbia is looking to America for
relief. Germany must let America help
these people. They are cut off from
the world and they will starve by tho
thousands unless thoy are fed soon."
Upon arrival here, Mudamo Groiych
wired the Rockefeller relief organiza
tion, asking for aid for the stricken
country
Food is extremely scarce at Mona
stir. Even the hospitals lack fuel, and
tho fall of the city is cxpocted very
soon. In such an event, tiousnnds of
fugitives en route here will be caught
on the jNish trail without food and with
no refuge except tho mountains. !
Only a miracle can save them.

of Siliooner cove, on the west couBt of

Mnpu, Chilean full rigged four masted
ship, was bathtered to splinters in tho
utorin which swept the north Pacific
coast yesterday afternoon.
Sho went on the rocks nt 2 p. m. and
within thrco hours had boon pounded

which swept her from stem to Btorn.
The crow never hud a chance. It was
impossible to liiunch the boats, and sui

So they slung to tho rigging and
watched death racing toward them.

to venture near enough to bo of any as

Tho Carol Mnpu was captained by
