Servian Rally a Wonder.

The marvellous recovery of the Ser.
vians and their defeat of four Aus
trian army corps which had penetrat-
ed half way across Servia, remains the
wonder OF military men. The crown
prince, In an address to his troops, told
them that they had beaten and
pushed the enemy with rapidity I'M
heard of in military history"
The shattered Austrian right wing
crossed the Drina into Bosnia, where
1t was attacked by the Montentgrtns
near Veshegrad and had to leave an
other toll of prisoners, killed and
wounded and war material. The pur.
suing Servians also picked up another
five thousand prisoners and some guns

in flight. The mass of prisoners and

cannot be tabulated.
The Servians are pushing the pur-
suit vigorously and successfully. The
roads in the rear of the Servian army
are blocked with incoming prisoners
who appear satisfied that their ordeal
Is over. Entire battalions are seen

DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT
 MEANS WILSON DEFEAT

The World trusts that MT. Bryan is right when he predicts that the Wil- son administration "is to receive in the Nation a vote of confidence"
 This Is the most important issue in the campaign, and such a vote of confidence in the President can come only through the election of Demo- cratic House of Representatives.
 It is unfortunate that a President placed in the position that Mir. Wilson has been placed by circumstances is obliged to make his appeal for pub lie support through the medium of partisanship; but there is no other method known to American politics by which the people can signify their confidence and faith in Chief, Mag istrate
 We do not pretend that Democratic Congressman are wiser or more hon. est or more patriotic than Republi- can Congressman, or that they are actuated by a loftier ambition to serve tue country. We do not pre- tend that Democratic candidates on whole are better men or more trust worthy men than their Republican op- ponents. But we do believe that Mir. Wilson has proved himself one of the great Presidents in American history, and that his administration has mark ed new era in American politics We believe also that he is entitled to a Congress that is in avowed sympathy with his principles and policies of government, and we believe especial. ly that he deserves the unyielding support oi the American people in this great world crisis. That support can come only through the triumph of the Democratic party in the fall el- ectlons.
 A Democratic defeat would be the defeat of President Wilson. It would be so interpreted throughout the world. Such defeat would greatly weaken the Presidents influence abroad. It would likewise impair the power of the United States when the time comes for the restoration of peace. Issues of vital importance to civilization are in the Presidents hands, but these issues will be torn from his hands unless the American people prove that his ideals are their ideals and that his purposes are their purposes A President of the United States who had been repudiated at the polls could not be expected to wield much influence in London and Berlin and Paris and St. Petersburg, Vienna and Tokio.
 In this campaign President Wilson represents much more than the Dem- ocratic party. He represents democ- racy itself. He is today the most commanding representative of democ- racy among all the leaders of the na. tions, and the confidence that the American people express in him on election day will be measure of the confidence they express in the eff cacy of their own institutions.
 The President is not playing poli- tics with the grave questions with which he is dealing. The American people in turn should not play politics with the President. - (New York World.)
