were received In tho forenoon by the
state department. Ambassador Pages
osurce OF information was not tllyule-

port as that transmitted In press de-
spatches last night from Rome ana
that the message received from him

No confirmation. of the news de-
spatch from London. reporting the

BIG LOAD
OF Liquor is Taken from Gras.
selli Man, and He is
Jailed.

Staggering under the weight of
two heavily laden suit cases contain

In Southeast Corner Of Serbia
between Central Powers
and Entente Allies.
sERBIANs ARE IN RETREAT
French Expedition is Placed in
a Precarious Position and
May Be Retiring.

LONDON. Dec. s.-with the Ser
b,an armies in retreat behind the AL
bantam and Montenegro frontiers, 1t
is reported the bulk of the German
and Bulgarian armies is being con-
centrated against the Allied armies
holding the southeast corner OF Ser
bia. Heavy fighting has been in pro-
gress there for the last few days.
There is no confirmation OF hints
from various sources that the French
troops have been forced definitely to
abandon the positions held by them
since the beginning OF the campaign.
The fall Of Monastir and the south
ward progress of the German and
Bulgarian forces. however. have
placed the northern wing Of the
French expedition in a precarious
situation and withdrawal from the
angle formed by the yardar and
Cerna rivers apparently has begun.
Constant arrival Of fresh forces and
war materials at Saloniki give evil
dence that the Allies have no inten-
ton OF abandoning their efforts in
this region.
Although the Germans have an
nounced the capture Of Ipek, Monte
negro. the pursuing Austrian and
Bulgarian armies evidently are con-
fronted with harder task on the
Montenegrin frontier than elsewhere.
The Montenegrins continue to offer
spirited resistance and to check the
invaders wherever possible by sharp
counter attacks. In Albania the Ser
bians, who nave been compelled to
leave behind quantities Of war ma
tertal, appeared incapable of organ
lied resistance. Even an orderly re-
treat is made difficult es the Serbians
are encountered with large numbers
of civilians and prisoners and accord
ing to some reports have been set
upon by Albanians.
The latest dispatches state that the
French are bringing heavy guns into
action in the Strumitsa section. A
battle Of large proportions between
the Bulgarians and the Franco-Brit-
ish troops appears to be pending.

nouncement was made OF the death
Of DR.. ]. Wilbur Pigott, a past ex-

Brother Exalted Ruler and Broth.
er Elks: Sunday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock we held our annual memorial
services and due tribute was paid to
the memory Of our departed ones
On Monday morning. at about the
same hour, another name was added
to the list of our honored dead when
the soul of Brother Wilbur Pigott en-.
tered into the valley OF the shadow
Of death. and his spirit now rests
with those of our absent brothers.
Brother Pigott was 43 years oil
age: charter member and Fast ex.
allied ruler Of this lodge. I first came
to know him in the year 1909. Al
that time he was chief deputy assess.
or Of this county. Efficient. kind
courteous and affable. his manner
and his work commanded the respect
of all who knew them.
As an Elk, to my mind. Brother
Pigott embodied In himself in pecu.
liar degree the cardinal principle OF
our order-charity.. AS one who ex.
pected mercy. he also was merciful.
In all the years that l knew him !
never heard him say an unkind word
of any man; and after all, my friends
Is not mercy the measure Of mani
Is not mercy the yard-stick by which
God will Judge US all? Blessed is the
merciful for he shall obtain mercy,
was not spoken in vain: so tonight.
believe Brother Pigott is resting with
the God Of love. whose mercy sur
passeth all understanding.
Six years since knew him. Six
years hence where OF what will you
or l be? Who knows? We're you OF
to pass through the hell of his temp
tation who knows what might befall
us? Let no man speak evil of him
who no evil spoke Of any man; but
rather let US write his faults on the
shifting sands Of time and his virtues
on the enduring tablets of love and
memory; and by loving and by re-
Numbering his memory will be kept
green and his spirit will live with
us-for to livein hearts that we leave
behind is not to die.

Days Ago.

LONDON. Dec. s.-A telegram from
Alexandria, Egypt, received today by
Lloyds says that the American steam
ship Communipaw reported sunk of
the coast OF Tripoli by submarine
arrived there Monday. 1t is Inferred
that possibly some confusion has
arisen in regard to the identity of the
vessel torpedoed. II the report of the
torpedoing OF the Communipaw is SUBJ
stantiated 1t must have discharged its
cargo Of oil and have been on the way
to another port when attacked.
1t is recalled that the point at which
the Communipaw is said to have been
sunk corresponds closely to the posi-
ton Of the American tank ship Petro-
lite. when 1t was attacked by a SUBJ
marine on Sunday.
