THAT reminds me-" said Fred c.
Cox, Of the Hallet pharmacy Thurs
day to a Bath Times man who paid for
a soda with I'VE pennies and laughing
ly asked Mr.. Cox II he accepted them.
II remember a story the late George
H. Clark once told me OF an experience
he had in Richmond, Va. when he was
working there as bookkeeper for Chas.
W. Morse. Clark boarded in a private
family which was Of old Southern
stock but the war and the years Of ad-
versity which followed made them poor
people. whereas once they had plenty
Of money. They were really hard up
for cash and Mr.. Clark became inter-
ested in their affairs but they were
proud and told him nothing. One day
he happened in the attic and found two
barrels Of pennies. It seems that when
prosperous the members Of the family
did not think II fitting for people of
their station In life to spend pennies
and they were dropped in a small box
which when flied was dumped into
the barrels in the attic. He acquainted
them of his ind and they said the pen
MES were worth nothing but he per-
suaded them to let him dispose Of
them. He hired three girls to count and
put the pennies In packages and
through his business connections got
rid Of them and turned over SEQ to the

TROOPS ARRIVE TO START
 SERB STRUGGLE

Paris, Nov. 4SThe first British contingent arrived Friday in Guev- gueH in the Serbian theater of war, according to a Havas dispatch filed Saturday in Saloniki but delayed by censors. The British. force will act as a separate unit but in collaboration with the French troops. GuevgueH is just across the Greek border 40 miles northwest of Sa1oniki.
 General Sarra1l, commander of the Allies expeditionary forces in Serbia. returned Friday from nasty inspec- ton of the French front, from Guev- gueIi to Krivo1ak. He was favorab1yr impressed with the French positions, which are strongly held on the heights of Babrovo3 Gradek, Domir and Kapou.
 The French forces advancing north west from the Greek frontier have not yet effected a Junction wfth{ the hard pressed Serbians in the vicinity of Veles. The fighting in this district has been desperate, and the Serbs once recaptured Veles after it had fallen to the Bulgarians, only to lose it again on Oct. 31.

COLLECTORS MAY
 USE JUDGMENT IN
 NEW SEAMAN LAW
LaFollette Measure Which Kills Coolie Labor Is
 Effective Today.

The new seaman's law which pass ed the last congress, and which was ] fathered by United States Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin, takes#effect to- day so far as vessels under American registry are concerned. The appli- cation of the law to foreign registered vessels in trade with this country be- comes effective next February
 The law was put upon the statute books of the nation after a bitter, fight led by the lobby of the ship ping trust, and it has been vigorously attack ed since it passage by the ship ping trust and their allies in financial and commercial bodies.
 Every combine that has been act ing in restraint of trade opposed the law, the chief purpose of which is to give to the men who man the ships that go out to sea decent living con ditions and to improve their lot by bringing into the industry a higher class of workers. It strikes a deadly blow at coo1ie labor aboard shiDs and leading economists everywhere view it as a most constructive piece of legislation.
 Owing to numerous requests from ship owners on provision of the bill has been temporarily suspended. Ves- sells engaged in trade iI1 the ports of Connecticut. are not affected by the bill. Collector of the Port J. L. Nc Govern today received from the De- partment of Commerce, by. telegraph, the following instr uctions:
 The Department of Commerce
 is in receipt of requests from
 various steamship companies ask
 ing that their vessels be allowed
 to clear without complying in full
 with requirements as to able sea-
 men. They give as reasons for
 such requests their inability to
 procure able seamen after proper
 efforts. In all cases of such ap-
 plications for clearance you are
 are instructed to fully investig gate
 facts and if found as represented,
 you are authorized to clear the
 vessels, and department will take
 facts into consideration when re-
 ported. This is not, however. to
 be construed as authority for con
 tinuous operation under such con
 ditions. A. L. THURMAN,
 Acting Secretary of Commerce.

SuTnTna arY
 OF THE War News

Prince von Bue1ow, former German Chancellor, is not in Switzerland on peace mission, he declared today in Lucerne. He is not engaged in peace discus sions with anyone in that coun- try, he stated, nor will he visit Madrid or Washington on a peace errand. He declared Germany was united and was determined to push the war to a conclusion by force of arms.
 Advanced trenches in the Champaign district recently taken by the Germans, have been re- captured by the French, the Uaris war office announced to- day. The major part of the Ger man gain was cancelled by the French counter-atta cks, it is as- serted.
 The Austrian armies have fail7 ed in the counter-attacks by which they sought to retake posi- tions which the Italians captured in their offensive movement, Rome declared.
 Additional French troops are being landed at Saloniki. Paris announces.
 Resignation of the Zaimis cab inet in Greece is expected, follow ing it's defeat in the chamber by a vote of 147 to 114, despatches from Athens state.
 The Zaimis ministry has stood for. the policy of neutrality for Greece, in contrast with that of it's predecessor, headed by M. Venizelos, who favored the entry of Greece into the war in support of Serbia and the entente allies.
 King Peter, of Serbia, is re- ported, in a message from Sofia, to have gone to the front to en- courage his troops and take them ! the news that the allies were bringing them aid.
 A revolt of AIbanians in south western Serbia is reported through Rome. An Albanian up- rising of large proportions would bel likely to menace the retreat of the Serbian army now under at tack in, the north by Germans and Austrians and in the east by the. Bu1garians.

Suffragists Plan
 To Renew Campaign

New orlz, Nov 4-PIams of sew eraI woman suffrage organizations to begin a new campaign for votes. for women will be considered at a mass meeting to be held under the au- spices of the Empire State campaign committee in Carnegie hall tonight. Speakers will represent the woman suffrage party, the National Woman Suffrage association, the New York State Woman Suffrage association, the Mems League for Equal Suffrage and other allied organizations.

 Notable among the latter is Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch. president of the Women's Political union. The plans of that union vii 1be fornlulat- ed at a meeting of it's executive board on Saturday.
 A meeting of the National Associa- ton Opposed to Woman Suffrage was called for today to plan for new battle against suffrage.
