SERBIANS AGAIN READY
10 FIGHT HUNGARY

NlSCH, Serbia, May 3-(By Mail
to New York; Completely reorgan-
lied and equipped, Serbia's little army
of 100000 men that has twice al
ready defeated the Austrians is to-
day holding itself in readiness for an
invasion of Hungary.
Despite the heavy losses Of the
Serbians, both in their previous con-
flicts with the Austrians and in the
epidemic which is still sweeping the
country, the army is now in perhaps
better condition than ever before.
thanks largel yto the financial aid
of the allies The losses in the Ser
bian ranks have been largely filled by
new troops that have been whipped
into shape in the provinces Of Mace
doina which Serbia acquired during
the recent Balkan wars. The fight
ing strength is still up to 100000
men, the number with which Serbia
began the present war
Without question, however, the most
important transformation in the Ser
bian army is that Of its transporta-
tion. Up to the present time, in all
of its military operations, the Ser
bian army has been obliged to de-
pend almost exclusively for transpor-
tation on OK carts.

WOMEN ARE FIGHT
FANS IN NEW YORK
BY George r. Holmes

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent,
NEW YORK, July 14.-Women
are becoming some of New York's
most ardent fight fans Each sue
ceeding card, especially the open air
variety, finds more and more of the
reputed weaker sex occupying seats
with the same sang froid as their
supposedly sterner escorts. About 400
have attended each of the last two
bouts and they evidenced the same
and sometimes interest in the
smack of the glove meeting the law,
as the men, And the conservative
individual who imagines they can't
stand the sight of the red, red blood
is all wrong.
Johnny Weismantle, the Brooklyn
impresario, staged card at Ebbett's
field few days ago that was about
the goriest New York fans have seen
for moons. The first ten-round af-
fair was stopped by the referee after
one Of the boys had dyed the ropes
and the referees natty white suit with
red. An awful howl went up when
teh arbitor called halt-and it isn't
all done by the men, either.
"Outrageous' commented one
stately, gray-haired dame who sat
near the ring and nonchalantly smok-
ed gold-tipped cigarettes. "That man
had no right to stop that bout; the
boy wasn't hurt, he just looked bad.
Don't you think so?" she finished,
turning to her companion, an elderly
man. He NODDED assent.
The second affair, between Sailor
Fred Fritts and Boer Rodel, was even
more CORY The referee, however,
didn't like to risk the further displeas-
ure of the crowd and let the bout go
on. Then in the eighth round when
the Sailor went down for the long
sleep under a straight right to his
bloody visage, the women checred as
loudly as the men.
The stately gray-haired woman ap-
plauded.

 The minister was inclined to crit icise some of the methods employed by the license workers. He claimed that voters for tho vets discovered a vein of liquor in Thompson's lumber yard where their thirst was satisfied before and after they had voted. He also intimated that liquor was served in the town building. He made 10 charges, simply calling attention to the fact that Barleycorn was on duty in the vicinity of the polls.

THE VALUE OF TRUTH

Truth in business is just as inn portant as truthfulness in everyday life; truth creates confidence, estab fishes goodwill and builds a reliabil- ity that will be wrecked by the storms of competition.
 Through three generations people have learned to place reliance on the advertised words of Scott's Emulsion, because they are untarnished, unex- aggerated truisms about a household remedy of real and actual worth.
 The popularity of Scott's Emulsion is increasing as intelligence advances, because in these days of adulterations it continues to guarantee pure cod liver oil accidentally perfected with glycerine and hypophosphites to build strength, improve the blood and strengthen the lungs. It is free from alcohol or opiates-a wholesome food-tonic, truthfully advertised.

Adjourn to Monday.

After the casting of ballots for town officers was completed it wss voted to hold the adjourned annual town meeting next Monday evening. At that time many important matters will be considered.
 The drive against Constable Marino and the method of policing the streets, which undoubtedly was a strong factor in drawing votes away from Selectman Johnson, will be continued at this meeting and it was said today that vigorous objection will be made to having him reappoint- ed as regular patrolman.
 The action of the Bristol voters in putting the city back in the license column will mean the elimination of the visiting "drunks" and at the coming meeting the argument will be advanced that regular patrolman will no longer be necessary. While Constable Marine will probably be the choice of the board of selectmen for the place, should every night policing of the streets be found necessary, the democratic member prol ly offering the only opposition, a certain ele- ment will go to the town meeting de- terniined to oust the officer They will make an effort to have the meet ing refuse another appropriation for a regular patrolman's salary, a move which will probably cause lively contest
