BERLIN HAS A MEATLESS MENU
FOR FIRST time DURING THE WAR

Piles OF food In the windows in
dicate that there Is no lack. The
mayor last night visited the meat
lines to see how the poor obtain their
supplies. Long rows OF women stood
In the procession all night in order
to obtain frozen meats, The throng
resembled bread line along the New
York Bowery, though the occupants
of this line were paying for their
food.
Anxiety over the meat supply was
relieved today by telegram from the
Holland government permitting the
expectation Of 100000 tons of pork
because Of a Dutch over-supply. At
present pork is the highest priced
and only the most wealthy persons
are buying Il.
The potato harvest yielded 55.-
100000 tons, a sufficient supply for
Nernuny. 90
On Monday the price of butter will
be reduced four cents under the new
government price regulation system,

break OF the war we had 10000 un-

Berlin, Nov. 3.--"Germany will be
using meat and butter cards before
the end Of the winter. and the max
imum price will be placed on prac-
tically all food necessities to prevent
extortion," Mayor Won wormuth de-
clared today.
Tuesday was Berlin's first meatless
day. in accordance with the govern
ment's new regulations providing two
days abstinence from meats each
week. Meat could not be bought
anywhere. Restaurants served vege-
table. cheese and egg substitutes.
Friday. again, Germany will be meat
less.
Wednesdays and Fridays will be
"fatless" days, as butter. lard and
other fats will be unobtainable.

Funston Watches Over Line

Douglas, Ariz.. Nov. 3.--Artillery
in Aqua Prieta suddenly opened
terrific fire on handfuls OF Villistas
scouting around the city early today,
creating intense excitement here.
Douglas, believing the fighting

sunied its normal routine. The up
roar below the border sent the popu-
lation crowding into the main streets.
Children on their way to school
were turned back. Superintendent
Lutz announcing all schools would
be closed until the battle ended.
Great activity was displayed among
the American troops here. It was
apparent the soldiers were ready to
move on short notice. The few VIII
listas around Aqua Prieta made little
or no effort to return the FIRE. That
their presence was exceedingly hard
on the nerves OF the garrison was
indicated by the hysterical manner
In which the cannon, rifles and ma
chino guns burst out afresh every
time villista showed his head.
From a villa staff officer it was
learned that villa attempted to dis
cuss with Funston the reasons for
Carranza's recognition and for the
stand taken against the villistas by
the United States in placing an en-
barge on food. water and munitions
for his men.

according to the officer. but Funston
refused to discuss the question, tell

istration with mixed emotions.
While democratic leaders were
largely disappointed by results else
where. they found some solace in
Maryland's and Kentucky's choices
Of democratic governors. A state
ment is expected from the White
House in a few days after the returns
have been analyzed.
Leaders asserted that local issues

sachusetts; the republicans assigned
the same cause for their defeat in
Maryland.
Massachusetts, was generally re-
garded by political experts as most
significant political barometer, al
though the administration felt that
the small republican majority, aided
even by the return Of the bull moose
to the fold, really indicated a demo-
cratic gain. The progressives failed
TO secure vote large enough to give
them legal status in the bay state.
AS far as Massachusetts, was con-
cerned, however, this dissolution Of
the bull moose brought no comfort
to the democrats. for there the pro-
gressives went back to the republican
fold.

INVADERS PRESS
SERBIAN ARMY
ON THREE SIDES
tBy United Press Leased wire.)


Paris, Nov. 3.-With Austro-
Germans and Bulgarians closing in
on Nish on three sides. grave fears
were felt here today lest the main
Serbian army be surrounded and
crushed by the invaders.
The Bulgarian front curved con-
cavely before Nish along half-moon
line from vrania in the south to
Pirot. east of Nish. and thence
around to Knjazevac northeast Of
Nish. At the same time. the Austro-
German line ran through the country
about Cacak and elsewhere, south OF
Kraguejevatz northwest of Nish) to
the upper Morava river valley.
Austrian forces, harassed by
Montenegrins, were on the offensive
and struggling to drive eastward.
At the same time the invaders did
their utmost to close the only out
let from Nish to the southwest.
While the French sought. by land
ing troops at Kavala, to head Off the
threatened drive across Bulgaria to
the aid Of Turkey. the Teutons plan
ned to open up supplies of needed
copper and grain from the fruitful
stores Of Bulgaria.
The hint from Premier Asquith
yesterday in the British house Of
commons that the Gallipoli allies will
soon be in the Serbian struggle
aroused fresh hopes here that. de-
spite her overwhelming successes in
Serbia, Germany is destined for a de.
feat that may alter appreciably the
trend Of the whole war.

PREMIER BRAND
OUTLINES POLICY
OF NEW CABINET

Paris, Nov. 3.--France intends TO
fight this war TO the very end. Ac-
tion, not talk. is her watchword.
Peace rumors do not interest her.
Thus did the new premier. BRAND,
address the chamber OF deputies to-
day 10 his ilrst speech under the new
regime. . talk generally regarded as
the complement OF the English
premier's yesterday.
"You do not expect long declar-
alton from me-" he told the deputies
tersely. I'VE are at war. We must
act, not talk, Every effort OF the
government is being strained In the
direction OF action.
THE French army never was more
worthy to win. II will fight 10 a Vie
torl5hs end. France Is not concern
ed. with talk OF peace. since preme-
d.tated aggression forced war upon
her. She win not stop fighting until
the enemy has been vanquished and
a lasting peace has been guaranteed. {"
That there Is no hitch between
England and France. BRAND de-
clared.
I'VE are In full accord with Eng
land regarding the conduct OF the
war" he continued. Serbia will re-
ceive all necessary aid"
This last announcement was re-
garded as conArmatow OF Premier
Asquith's hint yesterday that the al
lies will hurl their legions from the
Gallipoli peninsula into the Balkan
struggle.
"Germany's Balkan campaign at
tests her failure In other theaters," :"
BRAND said. "It was undertaken be-
cause the offensives ON the French
and Russian fronts were completely
broken We are determined to go
through with the war, We have
measured our task and Will accom-
plish II. We have the will to win,
and we Will win.
The governments essential task
Is to assemble. with n view to war,
all the country's vital force and to
combine to the same extent all public
services. Every man at his post, who
obeys the governments orders,
should accomplish his task. Every
failure In discipline must be pun
ished,"
Brands initial speechmaking
seemed to fire the deputies and they
greeted his words with cheers.
