Nish, Oct. 12.-The Serbian resist
ance at Belgrade cost the Austro-Ger-
mans dearly. Every inch of ground
was hotly disputed by the handful of
Serbian heroes who defended the
kings palace and the citadel and con-
tinued fighting desperately in the
streets as they were driven back by
the overwhelming masses of the in
Vaders.
Even when Belgrade had been given
up, owing to the great superiority Of
the Austro-German artillery, fighting
was still going on stubbornly in the
streets or the southern suburbs. The
Serbians had to be driven back step
by step.
Women and Children Perish.
The two days lighting in the streets
of the capital was Of a most sanguin-
airy character The inhabitants, taken
by surprise, hurricdly fed, but as the
roads leading out of the city were kept
under q constant artillery Ere, many
OF them. including women and chill
dren, persisted.
Whole districts Of Belgrade are
scenes Of indescribable destruction.
Refugees arriving from Belgrade
speak Of the hell of fire and the ter
rible sufferings OF the inhabitants.
The German troops which crossed
the Danube at Ram were beaten com
pletely. The Serbian commander re-
ports: The ground where the Ger
mands landed was so covered with
dead bodies that we could not ad-
vance without marching over them"
Preceding the occupation of Bel
grade great forces were engaged in
the fighting around ObrenovatE, where
nm entire Austro-G erman regiment
was annihilated by bayonet charge.

MAKING MORE
CREOSOTE HERE
Diminution Of European Ship
ments Increases Production
in United States

PORTLAND, May 2O.-Owing to a
falling off since August j of nearly
so per cent in shipments of creosote
from England and Germany. whence
comes all but a small part of the i'm
ported oil used by wood preserving
plants in this country, American
manufacturers have taken steps which
says report compiled by the forest
service, it is estimated will increase
production Of the domestic article by
about Is per cent. The imported oil
ordinarily forms about IS per cent
Of the total used in the United States,
where creosote is the most important
wood preservative.
The statistics gathered show that
wood preserving is one of the most
rapidly advancing industries in the
country. In 1895 there were fifteen
plants in the United States; in 1914
there were 132 plants of all kinds. 100
being of the pressure-cylinder type.
Ninety-four of these plants last year
used more than ~ million gallons of
creosote oil, more than q million
pounds of dry zinc chloride. and near
ly 24s million gallons of other pre-
servatives, such as coal tar and crude
oil. treating total of nearly 100 mil
lion cubic feet of timber. an increase
of about million cubic feet over 1919.
and of 30 million cubic feet over 1912.
The most important consumers are
the large plants in which railroad ties
are treated The personalities ma
terially lengthen the ties period of
service, lessen the labor cost involved
by renewal, and decrease the drain
upon the forests due to tie.cutting.
To some extent the treatment of fence
posts and other forms of farm timber
is being taken up, an inexpensive ap-
paratus and method having been de-
vised by the department of agricul-
ture; but as yet the use OF wood pre-
servatives by farmers is on too small
scale to have any Importance in
the total, while the practice of treat
ing telephone poles is in its incipiency
in this country.
with the rapid advance of this in
dustry as whole" says the report,
''the choice OF preservatives has been
fairly well established, but the kinds
and classes of materials to be treated
need development along certain lines.
In Germany and other European coun-
tries practically all cross-ties laid by
the railroads are treated with chem
icals or preserving oils. In this coun-
try but 30 per cent Of the ties pur-
chased by the railroads are subjected
to such treatment The number OF
ties treated in this country is q very
small per cent of the total in use."
