Teutons Capture Last Link In

OPERATIONS IN BULGARIA
New Allied Offensive to Shift Balkan
Operations to Bulgaria, Where They
May Meet German Armies In Battle
and Form New Stumbling Road.

London, Nov. 9.-The Teutons have
opened the road from Berlin to Con-
stantinople.
Berlin has announced that the Serb
Ian sector Of the Orient railroad has
been cleared Of the defenders. The
lions share of this highly important
military achievement, the immediate

bravery and tenacity is frankly admit

In the forty eight hours passed since
the fall Of Krezevac, the Teutons,
leaving the main invasion OF western
Serbia to the Austro- Hungarians. have
reached the Orient railroad and are
now believed well on the way to Nish.
The city CT Kruzevac, 6ve miles
thirty-nve miles from Nish, fell into
the hands OF the German invaders
shortly after the war capital had fallen
to their Balkan ally. With II the
Serbians we're deprived Of their last

AWAIT EFFECT
OF u; s. NOTE
Answer From British Not EI-
pected For Month.
TURNING POINT NOW seen

Az Chr0oeo or NohcohtFspsUo ooous
Destined For Germany or Through
NeutraIs to Enemies Of Britain Now
Viewed ~ Immune.
Washington. Nov. 9.-After reading
American and British press comment
on the latest note sent by the United
States to Great Britain. President VIII
son and Secretary Lansing awaited
the effect OF the document upon Brit
ish treatment OF neutral overseas
trade.
Among all OF the allied diplomats
the view prevailed that the contro-
versy would not become acute. 1t be-
ing pointed out that. even II dead
lock was reached in the negotiations.
the Bryan peace treaties still were
available for a years investigation OF
the points in dispute. These pacts
have been ratified between the United
States and all of the allies.
Ambassador Page has not reported
the impression made upon the British
foreign Office So far as American
shippers are concerned, however, the
dispatch OF the note marks turning
point OF vast Importance. for hence
forth the United States Is to consider
the British blockade as ineffective and
inoperative, and all cargoes or nom
contraband goods destined for Ger
many or through neutral countries TO
the enemies OF Great Britain will be
viewed by this government as immune
from detention.
Claims presented by Americans Tor
detentions or seizures OF such goods
will be supported by the diplomatic
machinery OF the United States to the
fullest extent.
Speculation In official quarters as
to what Great Britain's course would
be was varied. Some officials pointed
out that II Great Britain abandoned
all pretense OF blockade and applied
the laws OF contraband the forthcom
ing American note on the propriety OF
including various articles In the con
traband list would he especially peril
nent to the controversy. On the oth
er hand, II the blockade is made legal
30 far as German coasts are concerned
the American government Will con
tinue to insist that legitimate trade
with neutral countries must not be
interfered with.
What American officials express
particular concern about in connection
with the alleged illegal practices OF
Great Britain Is the large trade they
claim Great Britain herself is carry
ing on with neutral ports In which
American exporters are forbidden to
trade. II is this feature of the situa
ton which officials regard as most
serious and indefensible. They say
II Great Britain held her own shippers
TO a normal trade with neutral coun
tries, the application Of rigid measures
TO American traders. might be less OF
fensive. though the aspects Of law
would not be affected.
In German quarters the arguments
in the American note were commend
ed as sound and justified by interna
tional law. German officials. however
said they were much more interested
in what measures the United States
would take to obtain acquiescence tc
its expressed views.
In view of the length of the note an
answer from Great Britain is not ex
pected for at least a month.

Old Grudge Causes Fight.

Blytheville, June 29.4As the result of an old grudge Robert Gaines was seriously cut and Will O'Neal is suffering from a gun shot. It seems that O'Neal of Ra- ney county, had forbidden Gaines from calling on his sister, when they had trouble over a year ago. MT. Gaines had been away for some time, stating that he was afraid he would have trouble with MT. O'Neal if he stayed here, so after staying away for a year he decided that he would come back to see Miss ] O'Teal, whom he states he intends to marry. On arriving at the O'Neal residence he was accosted by her brother, Will O'Neal, who insisted on having trouble, or renewing the old trouble. It appears that he slashed Mir. Gaines several times with his knife before Mir Gaines could get his gun. MT. Gaines on. ly fired one shot, and that took e-i feet in the thigh. MT. Gaines is here in jail awaiting a preliminary trial, which will take place today
 while MT O'Neal is confined to his Led.

 On August German troops en- tered Luxembourg and Germany de- manded free passage through Bel gium to the French frontier. This was refused and two days later Great Britain dispatched to Ger many an ultimatum demanding that the neutrality of Belgium be main tained. The ultimated rejected, German forces attacked Liege. On the same day President Wilson ls- sued proclamation of neutrality.
 The following day saw the dec laration by Great Britain of a state of war with Germany, and two days later the Germans entered Liege as the French invaded South ern Alsace.
 These events were quietly fol lowed by an affirmation on the part of Italy for her neutrality, by an Austrian invasion of Serbia and by the sending by Japan of an ui- timatum to Germany. This had tc do with the German possession oi Kiao-Chow, of which Tsingtau was the port.
 SERBIANS ROUT AUSTRIANS. By August IT the first British expeditionary force had completed it's landing in France and on that day there began also fierce bat tie on the Jadar between the Aus trian and Serbian troops. Victory was with the Serbian arms after five days of fighting and the Aus trians were routed.
 In the meanwhile the battle o1 Lorraine had opened and the Ger man troops had entered Brussels the Belgian capital
 A few days later. August 23 the victorious Germans entered Namur and began an attack or Mons, defended principally by tht expeditionary force.

New York, June 2S.-One year ago today the Austrian archduke, Francis Ferdinand, and his wife, were shot and killed in the little Bosnian town of Serajevo by Gar vio Prinzip. It was the act of Prinzip, a poor student, which ul- timately resulted in ten nations go- ing to war. These nations are, on one hand, Great Britain, France, Russia, Serbia, Japan, Belgium, Italy and Montenegro, and, on the other, Germany, Austria and Tur- key. The war to date, accordin to conservative estimates compiled from the best available reports, has caused a loss to the various bellig- erents of more than 6,000,000 men, dead, wounded and prisoners, and more than 800 ships. Of these about 120 were war vessels.
 The outstanding results on land are these:
 The greater portion of Belgium is under the control of Germany.
 Germany has been driven from the far east.
 4 part of the Dardanelles is in the possession of the allied troops.
 Portions of France and Russia are in the possession of German troops.
 A strip of Alsace has been taken from Germany.
 On the continent of Africa parts of territorial possessions have been lost by both sides.
 Various island possessions have been taken by the forces of the al lies.
 Italian troops are in possession ot a strip of Austrian territory.
 The outstanding results at sea are these:
 German and Austrian mercantile shipping has been driven from al the open seas.
 German and Austrian war vessels having a total displacement of ap proximately 257,O00 tons have beer destroyed
 War vessels of the allied nations having total displacement of 1922, 900 tons have been sent to the bot tom.
 The greater portions of the Ger man and allied fleets in the Nortt sea remain intact.
 Except for communication through Holland and the Scandi navian nations, Germany is cut ct from the rest of the world. Efforts on the part of the Ger mans to place the British isles il in the sinking by submarines o hundreds of vessels flying the flag of the allied and neutral nations.

the end of March the Russian troops had penetrated the Dukla pass and entered Hungary. April saw the beginning of violent as- saults upon the German lines by the French east of Verdun and the Mouse. The French stormed the German position at Les Eparges and about the same time it was of- ficiallv announced that the total of British casualties to that date were 139,347. By the middle of April the Russians had penetrated Hungary to a point twenty miles over the border, and the Germans had begun a successful assault up- on the allied lines near Ypres. For several weeks the armies struggled back and forth, losing thousands of men, gaining ground one day and being forced to evacuate their posi- tions the next. In Galicia, during the first three days of May, the l German-Austrian forces broke through the Russian lines and fore ed retreat. Fifty thousand pris- oners, it was recited, were taken. f Around Ypres the British forces lost ground and were finally forced | to evacuate an especially strong position they had gained at an ele- vation designated as Hill No. SO. Almost simultaneously the Russians began a retreat from the Carpa- thian passes. and while this was m progress the Cunard liner Lusita- mia, bound from New York to Liv- erpool, was sent to the bottom bv torpedo fired by a German sub- marine. Approximately, 1900 lives were lost in the disaster.
 WILSON ISSUES PROTEST.
 The loss of Americans in the Lusitania and other vessels which were victims of Germany's subma- rine warfare resulted in president dent Wilson protesting against a continuance of such tactics.
 On May 23 Italy declared wal on Austria Hungary, after having denounced early in the month the triple entente treaty. The declara- tion of war was quickly followed by raids upon the Italian coast c.-- ies by Austrian aeroplanes. Tue Italian army struck across the DOT der into Austria, with Trieste and Trent as objectives.
