been fighting which would have held
worldwide attention were 1t not for
the mighty battle lines In France and
Poland.

to her than either of the two preced-
ing Balkan struggles. Assisted by
Montenegro. the little Slavic nation
twice threw the hosts of Franz Josef
beyond her borders and inflicted
losses of about $4,000 men, but she
suffered severely herself.
The Austrians invaded Serbia in
great force about August 16 and pene-
trated to the Jadnr river. where a
great fve-day battle ended in the
rout of the Teutons.
The Austrians returned soon In
stronger force than ever. They
reached Valjevo. where on November
II the Serbians met a defeat.
With their supply of artillery am
munition exhausted, the Serbians now
had to retreat The Austrians, be-
lieving them crushed, withdrew six
army corps for re-enforcements
against the victorious Russians in Ga
licia
Shells and English tars with naval
guns reached the serbians. and on
December s they turned on the Aus
trians and cut them to pieces.

attempt to invade Egypt. Great Brit
aims Indian and colonial troops threw
tho invaders back with heavy losses.

weeks the defenders gave up the hope

warships are confined to the up

European powers has disap-
peared utterly from the ocean
highways. Sixty million dol

lies idle in the docks OF New
York. while several times as
much is bottled up elsewhere.
At the same time the German

Only approximately accurate
tables of the killed, wounded
and missing in the first year Of
the war are possible, because
France and Russia and Austria
Hungary do not give out their
figures. while Germany has
changed her policy recently to
one of secrecy. Great Britain
still tells her losses from
month to month.
