ings of any sort is virtually nil. An expenditure of $2O,0O0 would make good whatever masonry and window glass there was destroyed. But the old fort, Kale Megdan, fared worse. It's ancient walls were no match for the modern shell. The deep meats are filled with broken and powdered brick. Kale Megden today is good only for exhibition purposes, though for cen turies it held its head high among the strong places that could not be reduced. The strong walls and deep ditches present a sorry spectacle Parts of the wall were carried off bodily to great distances and the park in which the Belgradians used to listen to good military concerts is filtered with bits of brick and rock which the "30.5" and the "42" pro- pectiles sent flying. At the head of a walk stands monument commem- orative of Serbia's delivery from Turkish rule. The various types of Serbia's civil classes are shown in adoration of a figure above them, the last being peasant, hard of face and raw of bone. Through the mus cular leg and the sinewy arms bits of steel have crushed, emblematic of Serbia's fate, perhaps.
 Have Not Suffered.
 The Konaks, old and new have not suffered by the lombard ment, as indeed has none of the city's other big or prominent buildings But Belgrade is deserted. Its principal streets, we'll paved and cleanly kept, remind one of early Sunday morning in any well-regulated city. Few peo- pie were in the streets and the shut tors of the shops were down. Good order has been kept by the Austro- Hungarians and to safeguard the health of their troops and give the poor a chance to earn a little money streets were being swept by men and women, though there seemed to be no need for it.
 West of Belgrade, across the Save, which is here about 4,000 yards wide owing to high water, the Austrian pioneers have constructed another bridge, partly pontoon and partly trestle. Work on the big permanent railroad bridge, which was dynamited first by the Serbs and later by the Austrians, is in progress. Within month the structure will be rebuilt. The old bridge was constructed by Austrian engineers and the plans Of it were still in existence, so with foresight that deserves being called remarkable the Austrians reconstruct ed every part of the bridge long be- fore the offensive began and today the parts need merely to be placed where thy belong.
 The correspondent had many op- portunities to talk to German and Austro Hungarian officers and men who had been at the Serbian front. It would seem that the first shock proved too much for the Serbs. While occasionally desperate resistance is still offered, the Serbs generally are unable today to hold a position long. They have begun to realize that their cause is lost. It can be attested, on the other hand, that the Central Power troops. especialIJh the Aus trians, are generous in their praise of l the Serb as soldier and patriot.

DANUBE RETURNS m PEACEFUL ASPECTS
Scene of Fierce Combat Between
 Belli9erents a Month Ago
Correspondence of the Associated Press.)

(Correspondence of the AssociateI Press.)
 Semlin, Austria Hungary, Nov. 15 A month ago the scene of fierce combat between the armies of Aus tria-Hungary and Germany on one side, and Serbia on the other, the Danube has now returned to more peaceful aspects. Were it not for the partly ruined towns and villages on it's Serbian bank, four military pontoon bridges, and boats and bar ges loaded with troops and army ma- terials, all traces of the struggle would be lacking in the Danube landscape.
 Along the Hungarian bank men plough broad and fertile acres in the plains, and where the hills and moun- tainss come close to the water hun dreds of women and children gather grapes, the harvesting of which was retarded by the military operations. An occasional smoking stack height ems the impression that life along the Hungarian shore Is again normal, though the masses of soldiers in the streets and along the river jetties' in dicate that the region is still in the base zone in rear of a large army.
 Sava Like Cruiser.
 The Associated Press correspondent made the trip up the Danube from Lom Palanka, Bulgaria, to Orsova, Hungary, aboard the Austrian moni. tor Sava, a craft into which all the fruits of experience in Danube war fare during the last year have been embodied. For boat of her ton. mage the Sava, as also her sister ship, the Temes. must be looked upon ae a remarkable example of how much heavy and light artillery may be crammed into small space. Her main battery would do credit to small cruiser, while a speed of from 22 to 26 knots makes the Sava class an enemy to be respected.
 The monitor left Lom Palanka at S:S0 a. m.-Driving sheets of rain and cold wind drove everybody into the ships cubby-hole of mess room Hot tea and rum helped to cheer those whom a long walk through Lom Palanka's muddy streets, and finally a tight-rope performance on the tim- bers of an uncompleted jetty had robbed of good humor. The officers and men of the Austrian Danube fleet have all seen service in the navy, and i being genuine seafarer and a light. ] hearted Austrian to boot, the com 1 of the Sava explained to the passenger that in addition to having run the risk of slipping from a wet stringpiece of the jetty into the deep muddy water of the "blue" Danube, he might, during the course of the day, sail skyward, impelled by Rus. sian mine.

Retreating about eighty miles,
after the rout near Paris and the
disastrous battle of the Marine
river northeast of Paris, the Ger
mans entrenched themselves
along the north bank of the Aisne
and planted their heavy artillery
in the foothills. Thus fortified,

Altogether, the battle line is about

The city of Rheims, an important
railroad center, is a sort of pinion for

repeated attempts of their enemy to
capture the town.
