WEEKLY WAR review

Eclipsing every other elements in
the Balkan situation is the attitude of
Greece, principally because that atti-
tude remains as puzzling as it was
when the invasion of Serbia began.
The entente powers have been insist
ing upon a positive and unqualified
decision and prompt subsequent &C.
tion on the part of the Hellenic king
dom, and if neither is forthcom-
ing soon these powers will send the
word to King Constantine: Inter
vene or demobilize."
Meanwhile the Austro-German and
Bulgarian forces have been pushing
their advance into Serbia. The two
forces have effected junction in the
extreme northeastern section of Ser
bia, clearing the way for the rushing
of German war supplies into Turkey.
A great enveloping movement, with
Nish, Serbia's capital, as its center,
is being attempted jointly by the
Germans and Bulgarians. The most
Important stroke made in this move
ment was made by the Bulgarian cen
ter, which. according to Berlin. vic
toriously entered the Serbian fortress
of Pirot." The capture of Pirot places
the Bulgarians thirty-fve miles south.
east of Nish.
A London dispatch of Oct. 81 states
that strong forces of the entente al
lies are on the way to the relief OF
the hard-pressed Serbians and to bar,

trail powers through the Balkans.
British troops which have been laad.
ed at Salonica are reported in dis
patches from that port to have been
ordered to the Serbian front, where
junction with the Serbians already
has been effected.
Russian resistance in the Riga dis
trict evidently is holding firm, as the
Germans admit a retirement south
across the Missa near Palanken after
they had advanced on the north bank
of that stream. In the southern sec
tor of the eestern front, General Won
Linsingen is reported on the often
sive and is gaining ground against the
Russians in Galicia.
Latest reports from the Austrian

ments from the Austrians and the
Italians, the latter, claiming substan-
tial gains, while the Vienna war Office
records a series of repulses for the
invading forces.
On the western front artillery duels
have been in progress, without ap-
p-eciable gains being made by either
side. Paris reports, Oct. 81. ter

SCARED friends of the Governor, who
have stood by him in sunshine aud
storm, were out to hear one more mes
sage-it may be the last-from the man
who carries more laurelS and who has
been showered with more honors than
any man in the State of Kentucky, liv-
ing or dead.
Judge w. r. Shackelford introduced
Governor McCreary in his usual charm
ing and characteristic manner. The
Governor was in fine fettle and for more
than an hour he portrayed the grandeur
and glory of the Democratic party and
denounced the renegadeS of Repu5li-
canism. He spoke with his old time
force and received vociferous applause.
He made a splendid address, which will
result in much good TO the ticket.
At the conclusion of Governor Nc
Creary'S speech, Hon Mat S. Cohen, an.
other of our distinguished citizens, made
brief ad iress, thus bringing to a close
one of the greatest campaigns ever
waged in the county.

IN PLAIN VIEW
OF The ENEMY
General Villas Army EnCampS
South Of Aqua Prietd.
CARRANzISTAS EXPECT ATTACK

Latter Hold Well Fortified Positions
and Have Been Reinforced by the
Arrival of 1000 Men-Nearly 1000
American Troops at Scene to Pro-
tect American Lives and Property.
Strength of Rival Forces.
El Paso, Tex, Nov. 1.-The army
of General Villa is encamped on the
hills south of Aqua Prieta, Sonora.
The troops are in plain view Of the
garrison of Carranza soldiers under
General P. E. Gales.
Whether an attack will be delivered
upon the waiting Carranza troops re-
mains to be seen. There are those
who believe that Villa will not make
the attack because of the prepara-
tions made to resist him. Others be-
lieve that he will throw his half
starved force of men against the well
entrenched Carranza forces and make
n final desperate attempt to drive
them, by the fury of mis- assault, over
the line into Arizona as his last hope.
In the event of damage to Ameri-
can life or property, Villa runs the
risk of having to fight $500 United
States troops along with the Carranza
garrison that should now number
more than his own. The Carranza
garrison was reinforced by the ar,
rival of five train loads of fighting
men through American territory from
Piedras Negras, Coahuila.
American troops commanders at
Douglas, Ariz., estimate the Gales
force behind the Aqua Prieta fortifca-
tions at between $500 and 1000 men
prior to the arrival of reinforcements.
Carranza officials declare that 5000
reinforcements arrived there Satur-
DAY and Sunday. Sixteen pieces of
field artillery are known to have ar
rived, also a number of machine
guns. The Gales troops, many OF
whom are Indians, are well fortified
and the location OF Aqua Prieta is
somewhat above the ground over
which Villistas will have to attack.
Villa claims 5000 men. He has not
nearly that number however. He is
SAID to have sixty pieces of artillery,
There was skirmishing between
CarranZa outposts and advance
guards of Villistas. Several Villista
bands were driven back and. in some
instances the Carranza outposts
after firing at the advancing enemy
hurried back to the protection of the
Aqua Prieta guns.
General Davis is very positive that
he will protect Americans if the bull
lets fall into American territory and
harm. or promise to harm, citizens OF
this country. General Davis official
" informed Samuel Dreben and other
agents OF General Villa in Douglas
that shooting must not harm Ameri
cans If an attack is made.

also that the Austro-Germans, ad-
Vancing rom the north, are endeaN-
oring to form a ring around Kraguye-
vatz, where the Serbian arsenal is
situated. Thus, besides endangering
both the Serbian war capital and tle
town where the Serbian munitions
are manufactured, the central powers,
with Bulgarian aid, are narrowing
the gap through which the Serbian
army in the northeast must escape.
Simultaneously the Austrians are
attacking Montenegro to remove, if
possible, the danger of having an enc
my army on their flank. Little has
been said about the fighting between
the Austrians and Montenegrins along
the Drina river, but apparently it is
of most sanguinary character, as It
took the Austrians more than a week
to force a crossing of the river at
one point alone, that south of Vishe-
grad.

establishing themselves along the
southern end of the Nish railway,
end. crossing into Bulgaria, have oc-
cupied the hills surrounding Stru-
mitza, although the capture of that
town, which has been reported, is
rot officially confirmed. The allied
fleets, too, have again bombarded
towns on the Aegean sea.
While these efforts take some OF
the strain off heavily-tried Serbia,
there is no reliable information as to
the movements of the greater forces
which, it is hoped here, will save her.
Reports continue to circulate, chiefly
from German sources, of a Russian
army which is to march across Rou-
mania to the rescue. But of the Brit
ish and French reinforcements no
news has been received.
Italy has undertaken a general Of
fensive and there is talk of another
offensive on the western front. The
Germans seem to have anticipated
this, as they launched a general at
tack in Champagne over a front of
about five miles in an effort to re-
cover ground which the French re-

ceeded in recapturing the Butte de
Tahure, but. according to the French
account. they were repulsed every
where else. suffering extremely heavy
losses, and to the north of lie Mesnil
they actually lost one of their own
trenches.
Despite the coming of winter. there
has been more activity on the Russian
front There has been a lull in the
fighting in Courland. where the Ger
mans have apparently failed to take
Riga or Dvinsk or to improve to any
marked degree their position. It is
believed that they are preparing for
smother drive. 1t must be made soon,
as snow is already falling. Along the
