 Bulga,'ians Are Now in Pos session of Serbia $ War Capital and Central Pow CTS Have Open Route to Turkish Metropolis ARE
 RESTED AT IZOOR More Allied Troops Are Be ing Sent from Saloniki to Scene of Fighting, Hop ing to Effect Capture of NelcS
IRepubIican A. ?. Leased Wlrel

! LONDON, Nov. 6.-The Bulgarian s l have occupied Nish. the Serbian war capital, which gives them complete control of the railway from Prahovo, on the Danube. and thus opens a through route for the central powers to Sofia and Constantinople
 In addition. the Bulgarian and Ger man main armies have affected june ton at Krivivir. so that the campaign which has been Somewhat slower than expected, probably will move at a faster pace. In fact. except for the southern part of Serbia. the invasion is already gathering more headway. and despite Serbian resistance, the invading armies have all made considerable progress.
 In the south. however the allied forces appear to be too strong for the Bulgarians who admit that they are faced by superior numbers. It is re- ported through the Serbian legation at Athens that the British, French and Serbians have inflicted a severe defeat on the Bulgarians at Izvor, ten miles west of the Nardar river, where the French left wing joins the right of the Serbian southern army and that the Bulgars are retreating toward Veles.
 More allied troops are ~being sent from Saloniki to the scene of the fight ing in the hope that they will be able by the capture of Veles to compel the Bulgarians, who advanced west of s- kup, to retire and clear the Saloniki- MitrovitZa railway. so that assistance can be sent to the Serbian northern army.
 All assistance that reaches the Ser bians apparently must be sent by the British and French, for despite the de- feat of the Zaimis government and the triumph of NeniZelos in the Greek chamber. there is no evidence that Greece intends to change her policy. It was reported this morning that NJ. Zai- mis had undertaken to form a new ca binet. but this lacks confirmation as dispatches from Athens are being much delayed
 There is also lack of news concerning the Russian expedition which was re- ported early in the week on the Ru- manian frontier. while Rumania. like Greece. is maintaining her neutrality in the face of agitation in the country for intervention. Russia, however. is preventing the Austro- Germans from dispa tching any additional troops from her front to the Baltans.
 The Russian armies have successful ly countered Field Marshal von Hin- denburg's efforts to reach Riga from the west. and are attacking both west and south of Dvinsk and on the Styr and the Stripa rivers.
 In the Dvinsk sector the Russians are a little westwart, but on the two southern rivers there is no change in the positions. the armies of neither side seemingly being able to make any progress, although they are launching heavy attacks.
 In the western zone the Germans continue their attacks against the new

 The number of witnesses examined was between fifteen and twenty mostly officers and sailors of the steamship
 Coroner Wilson said: The evil dence of most of those examined showed the two small engines from which the rudder is operated were too light in power as several said to turn the wheel and the witnesses also agreed such trouble had been common on the Santa Clara within the past two years.

 NACO, Nov. 6.-F'our Americans, re- leased at Villa Verde yesterday by General Villa, after three times having been condemned to death, arrived on American soil here today and narrated their experiences as voluntary Red Cross workers. among Villa wound ed on the battle field of Agua Prieta.

PETROGRAD, Via London. Nov. $. The official communication issued tonight claims the capture by the Russians of $500 prisoners as the result of a surprise attack near the village of Semikovitze CSienikowce) on the Stripa river.
 The text of the statement follows:
 West of Riga near the village of Uchine, we repulsed several attacks.
 German counter attacks continue south of Lake Sventon. Farther south as far as the Pripet region there is no change.
 According to, supplementary re- ports. we took twenty-two officers and TIP men prisoners and captured seven machine guns and two guns in the fight Tear the village of Koes- tinoukhova, west of Rafalovka. We tion of the village of Eudki. driving him back in disorder to his trenches.
 The period of extremely desperate fighting in the region of the village of s;emikovitz (Sienikowicz) and on the western shore of Lake Ischkuve. has now ended. Swift frontal sur prise attacks undertaken some days ago, including the crossing of the river Stripa near the village of Semikovitze, justified all our eX- pectatiOns. We took over $500 men prisoners besides capturing a number not yet determined, of officers and machine guns. Our valiant troops had to overcome the greatest diffi- culties while sending the enormous number of Austrian and German prisoners to the rear and across the River Stripa and Lake Ischkuve. The Germans took vigorous steps to wrest the prisoners from our hands while the prisoners were still on the right bank of the River Stripa in the rear of our troops who were still hotly engaged. Although exposed to artillery and rifle fire our troops faced all enemy attacks and protected by their own artillery fire. did not retire to their own bank Of the Stripa until after the entire body of prisoners and booty was safely over.
