PARIS, Dec 3-Heavy cannonadlng
by Germans with a vigorous reply by
the allied guns marked the fighting
in the region between Ypres and Ar
ras today. The allies continued to
press their offensive south of Laon.
but only slight progress is reported.
Both the French and British armies
are preparing for the new attempt OF
the Germans to drive their way
through the strongly entrenched line
TO the coast. Upwardssof 100000 Ger
mans are decl,red TO be on the front
from the sea to Ypres. Heavy rein
forcements are reported south of Os-
tend. During the last few days 1907
600 German reinforcements are re-
ported to have arrived. Il Is believed,
however, that the apparent concen-
tration on the western end Of the line
may prove 10 be a feint, and that the
full force of the renewed attack may
again fall within the User region.
Fresh troops of the Second British
army have relieved the French in this
district in anticipation of the new

ROME, Dec. 3.-Whether Servia is
TO be left alone TO be completely
crushed by the Austrian army or is to
be given aid Is now question which
the allied powers must decide.
With the fall of Belgrade, the seri-
GUS situation of the little country OF
King Peter was today brought promi-l
nently before the diplomatic and mill
tary authorities Of England, France
and Russia. Servia has appealed to
Russia for aid and there is little
doubt that unless troops are furnish
ed King Peter from some source the
complete victory of the Austrians is
only a matter of time. Opposed to the
Servian army estimated al about 200,-
600 men are probably a half million
Austrians. The Servians are also sad
ly in need of equipment Drained of
men and money by the Balkan wars,
Servia. entered the present conflict In
a crippled condition and her complete
subjugation by the Austrians appears
inevitable unless assistance is given
the Serbs. The Servian losses up 10
the present time will exceed 100000
in killed, wounded and missing.

IN THE WARZONE::
What THEY MEAN
BY j. W. IT.. MASON,
Former European Manager of the
United Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-(11 a. M
The capture of Belgrade is a highly
important success for the Austrians.
The moral effect is certain to be pro-
found throughout the Hapsburg en-
pire, giving needed encouragement to
the Austrians in the face of Russias
occupation of Lemberg There seems
little to prevent the Austrian army
following up its victory by overrun-
ming all Servia. The Servians have
removed their capital to Nish, in the
mountainous interior, but even this
stronghold is in danger. The Servian
army is demoralized. II hasn't re-
covered from the devastating effect
of the Turkish war and Russia's
promised aid to the despairing Slav
nation is now an impossibility. Rus
sia has too many difficulties of her
own.
Only to Roumania can the Serv-
ians look for present salvation from
the Austrian menace. Roumania, how
ever, is holding back, not sure what
her territorial reward for interven-
ton would be, and suspicious that If
the war exhausted her, Bulgaria
would fall on her flank.
If Austria and Germany can hold
Russia at bay, the seizure of Servia
will compel the Russians to relin-
quish their hold on Galicia in ex-
change for the freeing of Servian
territory. This is undoubtedly the
dominant reason why Austria has
withdrawn from the Russian cam
paign for operations against Servia.
Coincidentally with the announcement
of Belgrade's capture comes news
that the Gar has removed General
Rennenkampf from his command of
the first Russian army. This report
may be untrue. 1t is open to suspicion
because its source is the same as the
false reports of Russian victories.
| Nevertheless. the basis of the rumor
! is undoubtedly correct Discussions
must be developing among the Slav
higher commanders. The present col
/ lapse of the Russian effort to drive
Won Hindenburg back to his from
tier, following the confident promises
| of victory sent to Petrograd, must be
causing many recriminations. What
/ changes in the Russian command may
| be under consideration is suggested
1 by the sudden departure of the Gar
for the front. His Majesty has just
returned to Petrograd after a visit
TO the battle line and his new journey
must be due to suddenly developed
military reasons.
If General Rennenkampf has COM
mitted blunders so serious as TO war
rant his disgrace the outlook is not
encouraging for Russian leadership.

BY new Government
BY The United Press.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-The entry
of Provisional President Gutierrez
and General villa into Mexico City
has been followed by fair order, no
friction and no molestation Of for
eigners, Special Agent Silliman re-
ported to the State Department today.
Although the arrival of Gutierrez
and Villa in the capital was reported
officially to the State Department in a
brief despatch by way OF Juarez, no
details Of their formal entry or OF the
establishment of the new government
we're contained in Silliman's de-
spatches.
Silliman reported that General
villa had issued orders and regula-
tions for the occupation Of the city
by his troops. No private property is
to be occupied without previous con-
sent Of the owner. The street car
service, which has been irregular be-
cause OF the confiscations. has been
restored and motormen and conduc-
tors have been granted a 25 per cent
advance In wages.
Indications that the proposed op-
erations of the villa and Zapata forces
against Carranza at Vera Cruz would
be delayed somewhat was seen in Sill
liman's report that the Carranzistas
has destroyed part of the railroad 10

VILLA -ZAPATA ARMIES
TO Crush CARRANZA
Bv Nc United Press.


WASHINGTON, Dec 3.-The COM
bined armeis of Villa and Zapata are ex-
pected to begin their movement to
crush Carranza early next week, accord
ing to advices reaching here today. Con-
sular Agent Carothers, who is with
Villa in Mexico City, sent word that
Villa is waiting only for the Gutierrez
government to begin its routine before
undertaking personal command of the
troops now moving against Vera Cruz.
He will invite Iapata TO join the move
ment. BY doing so he will take the
former bandit from the capital for a
while at least.
Administration circles are admittedly
delighted over the manner in which "a
pata has acted in Mexico City. Branded
for years as a bandit, murderer, and the
"terror of civilization" he has not only
held his men under perfect control, but
for the first time since the early days
Of Madero, he has maintained absolute
perfect order in Mexico City. IL is now
no secret that administration leaders
were greatly troubled when they learned
that zapata would beat Villa into the
capital, and they feared the worst.
The news that he had shown himself
a real leader has convinced President
Wilson and his advisors that, like Villa,
he may have been greatly misrepresent-
ed by his enemies.
All of the reports reaching the State
Department agree that Carranza's troops
have been greatly reduced in number
through desertions. Despite this, how
ever, if he elects to resist, he can cause
heavy losses 10 the attacking force, as
his men now occupy the entertainments
constructed under the direction of Cen
eral Fred Funston.
The remainder of Mexico is at present
seemingly pacific, according TO all Of the
reports reaching here.
