Wholesale massacres occurred in

be that Serb civilians fired from their
houses on invaders. Local authori-
ties deny this, but the Germans are
declared to have shot people down
without distinction and burned the
towns.

FiERRO SLAIN IN
PLOT, IT is SAID

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct 1S.-The death
OF General Rodolfo Fierro. reported
from Casas Grandes, removes from
the Villa campaign a notable leader.
Fierro sprung into prominence at
the time OF the killing of William Ben.
ton, a British subject, at Juarez two
years ago Benton's death. which has
never been satisfactorily explained,
has been laid to Fierro, then Villas
bodyguard.
During one of Villas critical battles
Fierro. in the face of a deadly fire, un.
coupled a troop train, preventing the
arrival of Huerta reinforcements. This
deed OF valor is said to have won him
his generalship.
Later Fierro became notorious as
an executioner One of his exploits
as reported from the battlefield, was
the shooting of more than 300 pris
oners taken in battIe lie is report
ed to have killed the men as they
stood in a row and as rapidly as his
aide could feed his gun.
The report that Fierro met his death
by drowning is discredited generally
here. In well informed circles ii was
hinted that Fierro was the victim oi
conspiracy.

SERVIA MUST HAVE
HELP SOON OR LOSE

Paris. Oct. 1S.-Heavily beset on
three sides Servia is making last
ditch fight for her life
1t is conceded in military circles
here that help by the allies must
reach the little nation soon to be of
any use.
The Seryians claim to be holding
their own against the Bulgarians on
the east and the Austrians on the west
along the Drina, but 1t is admitted
that the combined German and Aus
trian drive from the Northward is
making steady progress through the
Morava valley.
Field Marshal Mackensen, from all
accounts, realized the importance of
speed to the German allies fully as
the Servians appreciated the necessity
of delaying the invaders until assist
ance can reach them from the Brit
ish, French, Russians and Italians
He is reported hurling his men
against the Servian defenses regard
less of losses.
1t is admittedly clear that the in
vaders will reach Constantinople un
less the Servians are reinforced.
The conviction is growing that the
French and British will call off the
Dardanelles campaign, at least tenn
porarily, to help Servia.
Italian government officers are hold

view of deciding upon a plan.

Best Strateeists in England, France,

Grafton of Proposal to Withdraw
From Balkans and the Dar1aneIIes
London, Oct. S.-Strategical prob
lens of the greatest intricacy occupy
the cabinets of the quadruple entente
and momentous decisions are impend-
ing.
Is ii better to fight the Germanic
coalition on four fronts or three? In
other words, should the Balkans Bar
danelles campaign be abandoned in
favor Of concentrated action by the
allies in the east west and south? ?
These are the questions which are
perplexing the first political and
strategical brains of Britain, Russia,
France and Italy.
Different views are urged In prob
ably all the allied countries, and GER
tainly in Britain, France and Italy,
men of great ability are found on both
sides of the discussion. Ii is believed
to be certain that Italy will give aid
to Servia by hurting strong forces
against the Austrians.
Political, moral and sentimental con
siderations overlie the military prob
lem of the allies, who wish the fabric
of independent Balkan nationalities
preserved morally IL not legally. They
feel bound to try TO save Servia from
annihilation as a state.
Naturally also sentiments of pride
press the allies to do their utmost TO
find a way in which to check the cen
trail powers in the Balkans and carry
the Dardanelles operations to success

expansion.
Revenues are being studied to as
certain if an additional special bond
issue other than the $3.50, 100000 Pan
anna canal securities now in the treas

avoided
By continuing the sugar tax, bring
ing in $50, 100000 annually, and in
creased returns from the internal
revenue taxes prospective, the presi-
dent expects the canal bonds will be
sufficient for national defense funds.
Methods of obtaining money and Sc
curing united party support in con-
gress for the administration national
defense will be discussed at a war
conference of Democratic leaders here
before congress reconyenes.
The administration naturally will
