were General Won Kiuck's veterans,

-11 k -i i. COTTON WAREHOUSE BURNS AT EUTAW WITH S25,000 LOSS Eight Hundred Bales of
 Cotton Are Destroyed.
 Desperate Fight by Fire Department

Eutaw, November 19-(SpeciaD-The warehouse of the Greene County Ware house company, at this place, was de- strOyed by fire tonight at 10 o'clock with damage estimated at $25,OOO. The warehouse contained 800 bales of cot ton, all of which was total loss. About 80 per cent of the staple was in- snred.
 The Eutaw fire department fought desperately to save the cotton but could roll out only small portion of the contents of the warehouse. Practi- cally the entire population of the town was attracted to the scene.
 There are various theories as to the origin of the fire. It was discovered by negroes at 10 o'clock and had gained such headway that it was fm- possible to check it. Some think that it was of incendiary origin, while others believe that a bale of cotton on fire was carried. into the warehouse during the day.

VILLA STRIVES ID TAKE CAPITAL 0F
 SONORA, MEXICO
Obregon Completely Routed in NOrth-Three Hundred Carranza Soldiers Dead
 on the Field

Nogales, Arz., November 19.--The battle for the possession of Hermosillo, capital of Sonora. has been in progress since late yesterday. according to advices received today at Nogales, Sonora. opposite here, by Villa officials. It was also reported that General Obregon. the Carranza leader. was repulsed in an engagement near Cananea.
 Carlos Randall, acting Villa governor of Sonora, declared that dispatches received by him today indicated that General Obregon had been completely routed in the fighting north of Cananea. Three hundred Carranza dead were left on the battlefield, according to these reports.
 General Villa personally is directing the attack on the garrison of General Dieguez at Hermosillo. Governor Randall said. and messages from him said that the city was completely surrounded.
 Villa officials were reported here to have confiscated consignment of cop- per said to be valued at approximately $500,O00, which arrived at Nogales, Sonora, today from the mines of the Cananea Consolidated Copper company.
 General Francisco Acosta's command of 400 Yaqui Indians penetrated Obre- gon's lines near Sacueda and reinformed Gen. Jose Rodriguez, holding Cananea, late last night, according to advices re- ceived today An artillery detachment from Cananea is reported to have assisted in the movement
 A report from Obregon said the Car -ranza forces were completing a movement to surround Cananea. In usually well in formed quarters, however, it was be- lieved that Obregon was maneuvering for time to permit the arrival of 4OO0 rein forcements from Torreon via Eagle Pass. in bond through the United States, and that meanwhile he only plans to com mand exists from Cananea.
 Obregon reported that his forces con trolling the Del Rio to Nogales branch of the Southern Pacific railway were pre- venting Villa endorsements sent from reaching Cananea. He minimized the im- portance of the arrival of Acosta at cananea, declaring he permitted Acosta to succeed.

German Attack on Riga Reported Re- pulsed-Teutons Compelled to Re- tire Before Russian Fire-French
 Report Success in the Balkans

London, November 19.-A Rome dis a telegram to the Tribuna from Athens states that the BuIgarians have occu- pied Monastir and that the Scrvians are in full retreat.
 The position of the Servian army and the attitude of Greece toward the entente powers are still the questions of inter- est in Europe. Reliable information from both situations is so meagre that the public is unable to judge if changes have taken place.
 It is thought the Servians may make a stand on the historic plain of Kos- sovo, east of the Montenegrin frontier, where 800 years ago they lost their inde- pendence to Turkey They either must do this or retire into the mountains of Montenegro or northern Albania, where, although they would be nearer help from the Adriatic, it would be difficult to keep them supplied. owing to the ab- sence of roads.
 The Austro-Germans on the north are now within 30 miles of the Mitrovitza- Pristina line of the Servians, while the Bulgarians in the south are said already to have passed Monastir
 As to the position of Greece there have been no developments, although a more hopeful feeling prevails in Paris and London since Denys Cochin's visit to King Constantine and the Greek min isters.
 There have been lively artillery en- agreements in Alsace and at other points on the west. In the east the Germans report no change in the situation, while Petrograd claims repulses for the Ger mans on the Dvina and Styr rivers.
 The Italians still are hammering away at the Austrian positions on the Isonzo, but while they are gaining a little from day to day they have not yet captured Gorizia, which again has been under a heavy shell fire for several days
