PARIS, Oct. 23.-Advices from the Serbian capital state that the Teu- tons have been unable to accomplish the speedy crushing of the Serbian forces anticipated by Vienna and Der lin and state that the Teutons are only twenty miles south of the north ern border, across the Danube.
 The real menace to the Serbian forces which have been resisting the Teutonic invasion from the north is the fanking movement of the Bulga- rian army which has been reinforc- ed by Turkish cavalry. The Bulga- rians are reported to be making rap i'd progress westward toward Nish along the railroad from Sofia, the Bulgarian capital.

MRS, ELLA YOUNGS
 |S OUT AT LAST
Resigns from Superintendency of Chi capo Public Schools Owing to
 Constant Annoyances.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Mrs. Ella F. Youngs, who has been superintendent of the Chicago public schools for many years, aas rendered her resig- nation to the school board owing to the constant heckling to which she has been subjected.
 Mrs. Youngs was dropped from the superintendency last year and her first assistant named for the place, but the woman raised such storm of protest that many of the school di- rectors resigned and Mrs. Youngs was reinstated. She is one of the most brilliant educators of the United States and is the author of several books on education and public schools.
 The recent action of the school board in ordering the teachers to abandon their union has served to further disorganize the staff, render ing Mrs. Youngs duties difficult in the extreme, as she upheld the teachers in their attempts to improve condi- tions through united efforts. A num- Der of the teachers were dismissed by the board when they refused to with draw from the union and were rein stated by Mrs. Youngs.

 More than Sixty Thousand.

MESH. Oct. 23.-The Teutonic in- ~,sers of Serbia have paid a terrible ,xiee for the small successes wh1cn 4hev have gained in King Peters cnuntry and it is estimated that their e.xualties since the invasion began two weeks ago have reached slxty thousand men.
 General Mackensen's army, whlcn invaded Serbia from Bosnia, near the Sortier of Montenegro, was forced to retreat northward where the ounc- 1.re of the Teutonic and Bulgarian forces took place south of Belgrade If 7s adm.- that the Teutonic al- lies h1 captured many northern po- zztfona in Serbia but the seroaan forces have suffered no crushing de- feat and have repused every ehort ,o caDture the passes which permit of munitions being sent to Constan- tinople.
 King Peter is firm in his belief that Greece will yet keep her treaty made at Bucharest after the second Balkan war whereby Greece and Ser bia were to unite should either or their countries be invaded by the Bull xarians. With the support or the Greek army, and free access to the llediee. ranean for munitions and re- Inducements from the Allies, King Peter believes the invaders can be driven back into their own territory.

COl, RICHARDSON
 LEAVES TONIGHT
Wm Go to Washington to Report to Department and Work for a
 Larger Road Appropriation.

Col. w. P. Richardson, president Of 1he Alaska Road commission, has re- eeived orders from the War Depart nent ntshstructing him to go to Wash 1ngton, and he leaves tonight on the steamer City of Puebla for Seattle.
 After reaching Washington Colonel Richardson will submit his annual re- port on the Alaska road work and will prepare an estimate for next years expenditures after consulting with Secretary Garrison of the war depart nent.
 Col. Richardson has been working for a special appropriation of 5000 Ter mile for the completion of the government wagon road from Valdez to Fairbanks, making it serviceable for auto travel at all seasons except during the few months while the snow lies deep on the summit.
 In his efforts to secure an appro- priation for the completion of the wagon road from the coast to the 1n- terior Colonel Richardson is entitled to the support of every person in Alaska and undoubtedly has the sup port of Valdez and the interior dis tricts.
 During the past summer a number of auto stages operated over the wag- on road making the trip from Fair banks to the coast in three and one half days, and the people of interior Alaska are awakening to the fact that they are no longer isolated and that the completion of the wagon road would reduce the time consumed in reaching the coast still further. Fair banks commercial associations and business interests may be depended upon to work as a unit for the larger appropriation and Valdez should lose no time in getting active in the sup port of the movement which means more to the business interests of the community than anything else possi- ply could.
