of Religious RevivaIs, Stranger
Puts Over Forgery.

Racine.-A man who gave the name
of Thomas Kelley and posed as an
evangelist went the limit in securing
Sc by crooked methods from Mrs
Martha Enos. After defrauding the
woman out of the money he knelt
down in prayer in the home, and while
he was rather crude in his praying,
the household
According to the story of Mrs. Enos,
the man stated that he was an evan.
gelist and had arranged to hold re.
ligious meetings for two weeks. He
wished to secure a room for that
length of time and decided to take the
one shown him
The rent was 81 a week and he
rendered check for SO in payment
for two weeks. Mrs. Enos did not
have $6 to give him in change and
went out and borrowed enough from
a neighbour
After inquiring what time the fam
lily retired so as to return before the
doors were locked, he knelt down and
offered a prayer Members Of the
Enos family took part in the prayer
service and nothing further was
thought of the matter until after the
man had departed. Then they began
to feel suspicious and informed neigh
bOrs of the occurrence. AS his pray
ing was rather bunglesome the neigh
bOrs feared Mrs. Enos had been de-
frauded and was told to inform the
police, which she did. The fellow
failed to return and has not been seen
since.

London, Nov. 23.-The Serbians
have won victory over the Bulgar
ians northeast of Pristina. The Bull
garians are said to have delayed Their
march on Monastir and the Austro
Germans are laboring under Difficult
ties as a result of the wintry wealth
er.
The invaders, however, claim steady
advances in the Pristina region Of
the historic Kossovo plain, in the face
of bitter fighting by the Serbs. Hand
to hand conflicts are common. The
warfare Is the bloodiest Of the whole
Serbian campaign. The Austrians
claim the Sanjak has been almost en-
tirely wrested from the Serbians.
Serb Army Still 10000 Strong.
The Austrians and Germans esti-
mate the Serbian army still numbers
between 100000 and 10000, but that
it is diminishing by 5000 men daily.
The Montenegrins are giving battle
to the invaders along the Drina and
Lin rivers and at several points are
said to have repulsed them while in
the Ibar valley Serbian rear guards as
sumed the offensive
1t is reported that the Serbs at
Monastir are receiving reinforce
ments and that the British are also
sending up men to the front through
which the Bulgarians had hoped to
drive the Serbs across the border into
Greece or westward into Albania.
Additional forces of men and guns
are being landed daily by the Entente
Allies at Saloniki.
