FIGHTING IN SCORE OF
OTHER REGIONS

In score Of regions there has
been fighting which would have held
worldwide attention were 1t not for
the mighty battle lines in France and
Poland.
Servia's own war was greater trial
to her than either of the two proceed
ing Balkan struggles. Assisted by
Montenegro, the little Slavic nation
twice threw the hosts of Franz Josef
beyond her borders and inflicted
losses OF about $4,000 men, but she
suffered severely herself.
The Austrians invaded Serbia in
great force about August Is and pene-
trated to the Jadar river, where a
great flve-day battle ended In the
rout of the Teutons.
The Austrians returned soon In
stronger force than ever. They
reached ValJevo, where on November
II the Serbians met a defeat.
With their supply of artillery am
munition exhausted, the .Serbians now
had to retreat The Austrians, be-
lieving them crushed, withdrew six
army corps for re-enforcements
against the victorious Russians in Ga
llcia
Shells and English tars with naval
guns reached the Serbians, and on
December 5 they turned on the Aus
TRANS and cut them to pieces.
The entry of Turkey into the war
was marked by brave, but foolhardy
attempt to invade Egypt, Great Brit
aims Indian and colonial troops threw
the invaders back with heavy losses.
British and Japanese troops invest
ed the fortified German port of Using
tau, China. and after a siege Of few
weeks the defenders gave up the hope
less struggle.
A section OF the Boer population of
South Africa reyolted. The revolt
was put down by Boer. Premier
Botha. He then invaded German
Southwest Africa, and after long
campaign In the wsterless deserts
captured the greatly outnumbered
Germans July 50.
After taking three-quarters Of year
TO arm herself 10 the teeth, Italy at
tackled Austria this spring. The effect
of the entry OF Italy upon the arena
! has not yet been marked.

FIGHTING ON THE SEA

At the end of the first year
Of war not a German fighting
craft, except submarines, is
known to be at large outside
the Baltic sea. The Austrian
warships are confined to the up
per Adriatic and the Turkish
feet to the Sea of Marmora
and adjacent straits. The mer-
chant marine of the central
European powers has disap-
peared utterly from the ocean
highways. Sixty million dol
lars worth Of German shipping
lies idle in the docks OF New
York, while several times as
much is bottled up elsewhere.
At the same time the German
submarines have inflicted enor-
nous losses of allied shipping.
While both sides have prob
ably concealed many losses,
the following is a fairly aecu-
date summary of the number
of craft which have been de.

The British governments appeal for gifts of mouth organs for the use of soldiers at the front has revealed a shortage in the supply of these popu- lar musical instruments. According to instrument dealers, practically all England's supply of mouth organs comes from Germany. An effort is being made to remedy the depleted stock by importation from the Urited States.
