WILL NOT GIVE ANSWER.
Premier of Allied State Refuses to.
Give Definite Answer-News Is
Sparse Regarding Battle of
TchataIja Now Raging.

Belgrade, Nov. 1.-THE newspaper
Pravda says that the Austria Hunga-
rian minister called on Premier
Pachitch and proposed that Servia
should give guarantees that Austro-
Hungarian industry and commerce
would receive preferential treatment;
that Servia should not touch Albania
and should not insist upon an outlet
to the Adriatic, but be satisfied with
an out let to the Aegean sea.
Minister insistent.
The minister personally advised the
premier to do his utmost to induce the
Servian government to accept these
conditions, which he declared, would
do much to improve future relations
between the two countries. Premier
Pachitch replied that he could not
give an answer until he had conferred
with the other ministers. He had re-
ferred the matter to King Peter and
the governments of the other allied
states and requested the Austro-Hun-
garian minister to use his good Offices
to induce his government to waive its
demands which would be the best way
for Austria-Hungary to display friend
ship, otherwise ill feeling on the part
of Servia toward Austria-H Hungary
would increase to the detriment of
both countries.
No News Of Battle.
London.-There was no news either
from Sofia or Constantinople as to how
the great battle at Tchatalja is going
The silence may imply that the Turks
are making better defense than had
it is rumored that Turkey is asking,
Bulgaria to arrange an armistice.
Field Operations Slow.
In the other fields of war operations
the progress of the allies is SLOW The
Servians and Greeks have not yet
reached Monastic, where, it is re-
ported, Ali Ria Pasha, the Ex-Turk-
ish minister of war, has $4,000 troops
prepared to offer vigorous resist
ance . ....
The Montenegrins have suffered a
setback in their prolonged efforts to
capture Scutari, largely owing to the
detection of the Malissori tribes, who
demand guarantees of Albanian indie
pendence. the Greek advance in the
direction of Janina also appears to be
retarded. 1t is probable that weather
conditions have much to do with the
slow progress.
10000 Greek Troops Ready.
Belgrade.-The Greek general SOIL.

ceived by King Peter. He said that
there were $4,000 Greek troops before.
Saloniki and that they probably would
be divided to assist the Bulgarians at
Tchatalja and the Servians at Monas-
tir.
Hold False Economy to Blame.
Washington.-The secret of the al
most complete failure of the supposed
ly invincible Turkish army is not far
to seek in the opinion of the officers
of the general staff of the United
States army who are studying the
question from every angle. False
economy and poor administration are.

Some of the officers are in a pecu-
liarly favorable position to reason to-
sound conclusion as to the causes
for what is happening, having served
in recent years either as military
attaches or as observers attendant up
on great military maneuvers held In
