been dynamitcd by the Servians not
many hours before, and partly by the
pontoon bridge constructed under Its
cover.
Servians Driven Back.
"The passage into the enemy
country was rapid and uneventful.
Considerable resistance was met with
at the ascent of the steep hill leading
to Belgrade. but the attacking troops
charged with courageous ardor, soon
driving the not numerous defenders be-
fore them.
"The Servians retreated partly along
the road leading to Groca and partly
along the road leading to Popovich:
The losses on both sides are deemed
comparatively light in the encounters
around the city.
"Thc Austrian entry INTO belgrauc
was nreccded by the fight of most Of
the remaining residents, but some
chose to remain. Non-combatants are
vol treated by the Austrians, and per-
feet order prevails.
"The Semendria invasion. thirty
miles southeast of Belgrade, was more
arduous. II is on an island oi some
size in the middle of the Danube:
"The Austrians reached the island
with no trouble. but a strong current
hindered the construction of pontoonS,
which were begun under cover OF
darkness. The operation was immedi =
ately perceived by the Servian watch
ers. however, and a heavy ire was
opened on the bridge builders. The
Austrian artillery and infantry IN posi-,
ton on the south shore OF the island
returned the fire vigorously and enabled
the completion Of the pont0ons, when
then were traversed, and strong Au'
strian position was taken up on the
Scrvian side of the Danube.
THE advance was resisted weakly
and the Servians soon rctreated toward
Kraguievatz.
"No particulars are forthcoming re-
garding the Austrian losses at this
point nor is il possible to give further
information of the movements of ,hc

Presidents Policy
Is Called "Barbarous'

Philadelphia, Dec. 6.-"Every gun
allowed to enter Mexico by the lifting
of the arms embargo eventually will
be turned against the United States"
said Major Cassius G. Gillette, ex-engi-
neer of the United States army, in an
address yesterday before the City
Business Club at the Colonnade Hotel.
The major recently returned from
Mexico. He said the lifting of the
embargo was the most "cruel, bloody
and barbarous act that one nation
ever perpetrated upon another" He
could not understand the policy of the
President and predicted that IL con-
tinued 1T would lead to Intervention.
The cots to prosecute war would be
about $500, 100000 in pensions, $780,
100000 for supplies, munitions and
pay and the penalty in deaths would
be 100000.
Major Gillette asserted that the man
the President was trying to seat as
president Of Mexico. General villa
was cutthroat. bandit, thief and rob-
Der, and that Geronimo, the Apache,
was a gentleman by comparison. He
upheld Huerta and said he was the
only man in Mexico who could handle
the situation. Major Gillette says that
Carranza died last August and that
hes name is used to help the rebel
cause, because the 10000 poems
believe in him.
This was the regular weekly meet
ing of the City Club and II. A. Jame-
son presided.

McDevitt Returns Home;
Dead Broke, But Happy

Wilkes Barre. Pa, Feb 6.-Happy,
but broke, John Jay McDevitt returned
to this city yesterday morning. There
was no United States marine band to
meet him; not even a hustling boot
black welcomed him home. In fact,
McDevitt stepped from an ordinary
day coach to the station platform,
walked past the handsome hotel which
he left with such pomp two days ago
and into an ordinary lunchroom,
where he breakfasted on a plate of
beans. the dish which has made many
a meal for him in the past. And for
the meal Butch" parted with his last
nickel, which he had saved for his
breakfast" he said.
Before McDevitt arrived in the city
the train reaching here prior to the
newspaper. train, on which Butch"
rode, carried in the baggage car a
plain pine box. Inside was the John
Jay McDevitt in near bronze which
Congress did not accept. 1t was
hauled away from the station in an
ordinary wagon and removed to the
home of brother of McDevitt.

BIG REMONSTRANCE
AGAINST MORE BEER
Many Petitions IN Circulation
Asking That Licenses
Be Refused

With the last day for the filing of
remonstrances against the granting of
liquor licenses just one week away,
the leaders in the movement to pre-
vent any more hotels being licensed in
Steelton are marshaling their forces
and preparing to make the strongest
remonstrance ever made against any
licenses in Steelton
Mrs. M. M. Stees, president of the
Dauphin County Womens Christian
Temperance Union and a member of
the executive committee of the No
license League, said this morning that
the temperance forces here would eff
fcctively block all efforts of the liquor
men to secure either one of the new
licenses asked for in the First ward.
There are now four separate petit
tions being circulated, according to
Mrs. Stees, against the applications OF
John Shupp for a license to conduct
a hotel at Front and Mohn streets and
David p. Baker, who wants to open
hotel and bar in the South Third
street foreign section.
On just what grounds will you OPP
pose the granting of these licenses?"
was asked Mrs. Stees.
"On the grounds that therere not
needed" she replied, why at the
present time there are eight hotels in
Steelton and I don't blieve you could
get meal or lodgings at half OF
them"
But" it was suggested, don't you
know that Mr.. Baker plans to open q
hotel for the exclusive accommoda-
ton of the transient foreigners
place where lodgings may be secured
for twenty-five cents night; don't
you think such place is needed?"
Decidedly not. Why at the pres.
ent time there are empty houses in
that district where these foreigners
could get lodging for a most nominal
sum. The foreigners don't want ho-
tel. They want boarding house."
