PLUCKy FIGHT IS
BLING MACE AGAINST
FOES Of StRBIANS
INVADING BULGARlANS ARE BE-
ING REPULSED IN ATTACK
ON NlSH.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE near east
with the Austro-German and Bulga-
rian invasion of Serbia, the Anglo.
French landing at Salonika, the prom
ised active Intervention of Russia and
diplomatic possibilities in Greece and
Rumania-continue the center of in.
terest throughout the belligerent
countries.
The Serbians although greatly out
numbered by armies with superior
equipment, are making stubborn de-
tense, and the Austro-German ad.
vance is slow and probably will be-
come slower still when the mountains
where the Serbians are strongly en-
trenched are reached.
OF the Bulgarian campaign nothing
new has been received since Nish re-
ported the repulse of the invaders,
while the movements of the Anglo
French and Russian forces have been
kept from the public. The Russians
have no easy task before them if they
intend to land in Bulgaria. Varna
and other Bulgarian Black Sea ports
have been strongly fortified under di
rection of German officers and are
protected by mine fields.
The Russians could sail down the
Danube, as that is an international
Waterway, but it is doubtful If they
have the necessary transports, while
to come through Rumania would re
quire the consent of that country
which might not wish to risk the dis
| 1.easure of Germany.
Some disappointment is expressed
here at the decision of Italy not t.
participate in the eastern operations
| Italy has laid claim to great influence
| N the Balkans and is known to have
| aspirations in Asia Minor, which thu
functions of Germans and Turks, it i!
pointed out, would virtually bring t
an end. With superiuous forces anC
excellent transport facilities, the view
| is held in London that Italy is in {
better position than any of the allies
to lend a hand, and the hope is ex
pressed that she will yet do so.

GREAT RACE is
NOT TO BE A GO

According to telegram received
from Ed F. Geers, the veteran driver,
now at Lexington, KY, the proposed
race between Flower Direct and Ma
poleon Direct to have been held at
Cumberland Park, Nashville, will not
take place. Mr.. Geers' telegram
states that the mare is not in condi-
ton for such a gruelling contest. Not
since the golden days of old Hal
Pointer have the eyes of the turf
world been so attracted to the Dim
pie" as the home of the fastest and
best PAGERS as has been the case
since the great achievements OF
Flower Direct and Napoleon Direct.
Both of these are Maury county pro-
ducts by Maury county stations, both
of whom are now quartered at South
Side Park Directs Star and Walter
Direct. For five years Flower Direct
has been consistent winning per-
former, but once being behind the
money. Since his first appearance
last year on the grand circuit Napo-
leon has attracted much attention.
His performances have been meteoric
and brilliant. He closed his first year
with a record of 2:021a, being the
fastest green PAGER and the best mon
ey winning PAGER Of the year. 1t is
source of regret that these two
great Tennessee horses cannot meet
at Nashville this year.

YEAR.
Big SAVING IN EXPENSES
Rigid Economy in Operating Road
Saved Over a Million As Compared
With Former Year-Better Spirit of
People.

The annual report of the Nashville,
& ST. Louis Railway for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915,
has just been submitted to the stock
holders, shows gross operating rev.
enues of $10,936,532.62, with a total
operating expense of 5000, 621.95.
AS compared with the previous year

in gross revenue, and decrease in
expenses of979,S174S. A decrease in
net operating revenue of only $751;
1886 is shown for the year, despite
the gact that the gross operative rev.
enues decreased nearly two million
dollars.
The net income for the year was
1924 622.6S, out of which was paid the
dividends, leaving balance of $685.
396,73 transferred to the profit and
loss account.
The attention of the stockholders
was directed to the fact that while the
public has in some degree arrived at
a better understanding of railroads
and their relation to the public well
fare, yet many inequities exist and
others may be offered 1t is pointed
out that the American railways are
today paying higher wages and pay
ing more for everything that enters
into the maintenance and operation
of roads and that there Is an ever in
sistent demand for better and cheap
er service. The encouragement of a
sentiment for fairer measures of JUS.
tice for the railroads and holders OF
railroad securities is urged to the end
that the roads may be enabled to earn
fair return upon their investments
and at the same time be enabled to
meet the traffic demands.
The annual report showed the op-
Grating revenue per mile of road as
1886 and the operating expenses per
mile of road as $7,393.5O. The ratio
of operating expenses to revenues
was 1920 per cent.
Total freight revenue for the year
was $7,470,1S0.94 and the total pas
senger revenues were $2,517,075,19
There were 3,426,596 tons of freight
carried one mile, and 121, ,298 reve
nue. passengers carried one mile. The
average amount received from each
passenger was "a cents, and the aver
age revenue per passenger per mile
was 20S. The average revenue or
freight per revenue ton mile was
1919 mills.
During the year the road purchas
ed ten Mikado type freight engines
and six Pacific type passenger loco
motives. There was expended durins
the year on additions and better
ments for road $564,514.79, and fol
| equipment $425,564.S3. The mainte
nance Of the property was amply car
ed for with an expenditure of 81,
25150 per mile.
The work that the road is doing to
ward the advancement of the agricul
tural and live stock conditions in its
territory is referred to in the report
as is also the fact that considerable
advantage will follow the connection
into the northwest through the com
pletion of the Paducah & Illinois
Railroad.

COLONEL GAYNOR
 DIES IN WASHINGTON

Syracuse, N. Y, October 2-Word was received here today by his family of the death at Washington, D. C.. last of his death was made public tonight by member of the family.
 Colonel Gaynor, who was indicted with Benjamin D. Greene in connec- tion with the Savannah, Ga, harbor contracts and fled with him to Can ada, where they fought for years against extradition, has been living quietly in Washington since his re- lease from the federal prison at At lanta four years ago. He was born at Fayetteville. near Syracuse, and lived here up to the time he fled to Canada.
 Colonel Gaynor was 85 years old. All the other members of his family live here. but it was announced that the funeral would be held in Wash ington. Interment will be at Fayette- vile.
 In 1897 Captain Oberlin Carter. who had been assigned to improvement work involving millions of dollars for the government at Savannah harbor was the subject of a secret court of inquiry on the charge that he had arranged that only the Atlantic Con- struction company, composed of Greene and Gaynor and others, could bid on the contract Carter was sentenced to five years Imprisonment and Greene and Gaynor were indicted. They fled to Canada and fought extradition un- til 1905, when they were brought back They were finally sent to prison in 1908. Gaynor was paroled in 1911.

piers is so great that ships have to wait their turn in order to get docking room. This is causing considerable delay to traf- f1c, especially that which comes to the isthmus to be reshipped to points along the coasts of Central and South Amer lea. These broken cargoes are frequently delayed from month to six weeks.
 It had been thought that Balboa, the southern terminus of the canal would become the most important transshipping port of the canal termini Two 1000-foot piers. extending into the innner harbor. besides two long shore-line piers were planned and are now in course of con- struction. Officials now. however, are of the opinion that this will be far more than Balboa will require for some years to come
 It was expected that the South Amer ican steamship lines would make that their terminal port and that probably some of the Atlantic connecting lines would pass through the canal to deliver their cargoes at the Balboa docks. Also, it was thought, that the cargo which did not come through the canal in this man. ner would be handled by the Panama rail- road.
 The South American steamship llnes however, suddenly decided to pass through the canal and pick up their car- goes at the Cristobal terminals because they learned they could use the canal

 Reports of great suffering along the lower Mississippi river were brought to the city tonight by arrivals from that section. Captain Garrity. river pilot, declared that in his 20 years of river serv- ice he had never before witnessed such devastation as wrought by Wednesday s storm. At Socola, on the west bank of the river, 55 miles below New Orleans. the surrounding country is being flooded by what Captain Garrity describes as the worst crevasse he ever saw. Near the mouth of the river, Burrue and number of other villages have been inundated. water from the river having joined that of the gulf.
 The large British steamer Birchwood was driven aground at Gulfport. Another steamer, owned by the H. Weston Lum- Der company of New Orleans, and the tugs Eleanor and Clara of Gulfport were sunk in that harbor.

 After an all-night vigil in the cars with the wind screaming overhead the refugees saw the tide had riven to the level of the car floors.

 Ungentlemanly Intrigue
 T regret extremely for the sake of Americans in Munich, as well as the British under my protection. that unrest is being fomented systematically. I am however absolutely powerless against this ungentlemanly intrigue. 1t gives me pleasure to say that as result of this attack I have won a great deal of sym pathy and confidence. Thus far the maneuver of newspapers with the inten- tion of stirring up trouble between the American colony, my British wards, and myself, can be said to have been wholly defeated.
 My relations with the local American colony and with approximately 100 Brit ish subjects who are still here, are ex- cellent When, where and how am SUD- posed to have carried on anti-British pro- paganda is inexplicable to me.
