FIGHT A WHILE AND
THEN FRATERNIZE

n ONE italy. Nov. 2S.-FOliOwing
the evacuation of Bosnia by
- both the Montenegrin and the
Servian troops and the practical
abandonment of the march on Sera-
jevo, Italian military critics believe
that the allies have perhaps seen the
last Of Servia's and Montenegro's ef-
forts to harass Austria to any con-
siderable extent and that for sometime
the war chronicle will register very
few events from the Balkan battle
fields.
An eye witness Of recent events in
Servia sends 10 the "Corriere della
SeIa." of Milan. a long letter describ-
ing the situation prevailing now along
the River Drina- which he has had the
opportunity to visit in company with
a high officer of the Servian army.
Appears to Have Reached n Stop.
After two months this cOrrespon- =
dent writes, the war between Servia
and Austria seems to have reached a .
dead stop. At Krupany, the fight at
close quarters has become very cOnser-
vative- Great masses of troops are
face TO face, studying each other and
feeling their respective strength with
brisk but deadly fights, but three f.
their respective positions and the sit
uatiOn is still unchanged.
Trenches 80 Miles Long.
The trenches run in two parelled
lines for a distance of nearly 35 miles
and only a space of some so yards
divides them At some points this dis
lance narrows down to 20 yards. The
Austrians change their men in the
trenches once every. day, but the Ser
VANS, who are fewer in number, can
rot afford that. Neither side is af-
fered the opportunity to bury bodies
OF the dead soldiers.
Seryian Soldiers Sing.
Sometimes, at sunset. the Servian
soldiers sing in chorus from their hole
chorus, whose music is invariably pa
triOtic, gradually extend the whole
front, while in the opposite trenches
everything is quiet and still. There
are among the Austrian troops many
Servians from Croatia and Bosnia and
their sense of discipline and their

if they can hear the songs which re-
mind them also of the native villages
without being seized with a desire to

when he completed the race.
Bert Dingley would have finished

Ruckstall. Dingley was horribly
mangled and will die from the effects
of his injuries, while his mechanicien
was painfully though not seriously
injured
Dingley was formerly champion
auto racer. but lost the title before
Cooper gained it. He was making
good time. and though it was evil
dent that he would not win the race
it could be seen that he was gain
ing rapidly on Ruckstall, who was
directly in front of him.
Dingley made squirt to get the
inside of the track from Ruckstall
Just as curve was reached, and
swerving too suddenly, his machine
turned completely over. There was
such a cloud of dust that the spec
tators were unable to see what had
happened until after Ruckstall en-
erged from the dust and continued
his course to the end. The up
turned machine was seen lying In
the course, and 1t was only by a
small margin that Klein. who finish
ed third. missed running into the
wreck
The steering wheel of Dingley's
machine penetrated his abdomen AS
he fell under 1t when 1t turned. He
will probably die before the day
ends.
Tetzlaff was out of the race long
before the finish, and thus he was
not endangered by the wrecking Of
Dingley's machine.
