What War MOUeS Mean
By J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Austria is
altering her strategic objective and
is developing. for the first time since
the war began, a serious offensive
in Servia. Hitherto Servia, the orig
inal cause of the war, has felt none
of the horrors of the conflict within
her own territory. Instead, by in
vading Bosnia, during the early
weeks of the war, the Serbs carried
hostilities within Austrian territory.
The Bosnian campaign has now
collapsed, and Austrian armies are
thirty miles inside the Servian
boundary. The battle of Valjevo,
which the Austrians have just won,
is a serious defeat for the Serbs,
and ranks as the most consequential
OF AL the operations in which the
Servians have been concerned. VAL
jevo is an important railway center,
which will give AuStrians a AValu-
able supply base for the difficult
operations in the Servian mountains.
Occupy Servian Territory.
1t is significant that Austria has
been able to detach from the major
operations against Russia a suffi-
cient force to drive back the Serv-
ians and occupy a. thousand square
miles of their territory. 1t would
seem as il a pure defensive along
the Servian boundary is the best
Austria can hope to accomplish in
that area OF the war while the Rus
slams are making headway in
g. -icia
This view of the situation evident
~ prevailed in Vienna until short
time ago. The improbability Of driv-
ing the Russians out of Galicia ap-
parently was realized, and orders
were issued TO seek compensation in
Servia for the loss of the Galician
province The change of strategy
thus entailed is diplomatic rather
than military. 1t takes into consid-

for the war, which was Austria's de-

Declares Many Die for Lack
of Sanitary Bandages.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. Nov. 20.-Mrs.
Pauline Kruger-Hamilton a Minneap-.
oils artist, acting as a nurse in Wen

added to William G. Shepherds appeal
for cotton for the wounded. She says:
"The situation in the hospitals has
become distressing in the extreme. 1t
is too dreadful to see these men and
boys. too, suffering intense agony for
the lack of a little dressing for their
wounds.
"One boy, such a patient, such a
loving youngster, had one of his eyes
shot out All that the nurses had for
bandages was a piece of a woman's
petticoat, torn and raveled into a
semblance Of cotton.
And America has such surplus of
it. it seems wicked The prisoners in
the hospitals of Germany and Aus
tria are brother sufferers in the hos
pitals and they. too, need the care
that sanitary dressings are SO much
a part Of" -~s.
