INVADERS PLAN TO BLOT
OUT THE SERBIAN NATION
Bulgaria and Austria to Annex Coun.
try-FIag Over Nish to Stay
King Near Capture.

London, Nov. 10.-Formal announce
ment of the annexation of south and
southwestern Serbia by Bulgaria is
expected at any moment. Messages
exchanged between Gar Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, Premier Radoslavoff and
the commander of the army that took
Nish announce the actual annexation
of the conquered territory. 1t is be-
lieved the Teutonic allies plan the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Serbia, part to go
to Bulgaria, the rest to Austria-Hun-
gary.
Austro-German, forces beating stead
lily southwark in their drive to sweep
the Serbs into Greece and Albania
have captured Krujevac, 80 miles
northeast of Nish, the last arsenal
town in Serbia. With capture of
the city $500 Serbs were taken pris-
oners, including 1900 in hospitals, ac-
cording to an official statement issued
at Berlin on Monday.
The official statement says the Aus
tro-Germans are now attacking the
Serbs south of Kraljevo, which they
already hold, and that the Austrians
have reached Ivanjica. In the capture
of Kraljevo, it was learned, King Peter
Of Serbia narrowly escaped capture.
The sick monarch was carried out of
Kraljevo only few hours before the
city was taken.
Attacking the Bulgarians on Bulgar
soil south of Strumnitza, an Anglo
French force was repulsed with heavy
losses.
Germans, pushing southwark from
Varvarin, and Bulgarians, advancing
north toward Nish, have joined forces.
French troops have occupied Kos
jak and Babuna heights, commanding
>Plietvar pass, through which runs
the Pedlepe-Kavadar road, and are
expected to effect junction soon
with the Serbian army occupying the
northwestern slope of the Babuna
range, says Monastir dispatch to the
Matin.

800 DIE ON LINER
HIT BY TORPEDO
Italian Steamer Ancona Sunk in
Mediterranean.
27O SURVIVORS REACH LAND
Rome Says Number of Rescued Were
Wounded-VesseI Was on Its
Way From Genoa to
New York.

Rome, Nov. 1.-THE Italian steam
er Ancona, bound from Genoa for New
York, has been sunk in the Mediter-
ranian by submarine flying the Aus
trian flag.
The AncOna had on board SO first
cabin passengers, 60 In the second
cabin, and 339 in the steerage., Prince
Cassano Zunica was aboard the An
coma. Few details have been received
here concerning the sinking of the
ship. News of the loss of the vessel
caused the greatest anxiety in Rome.
Two hundred and seventy survivors
have been landed at Bizerta, on the
North African coast. Some of them
were severely wounded. About 318
passengers and members of the crew
have been lost.
The Ancona was of 8,210 tons. She
was a twin screw steamer.
The Ancona has been in the Italian
line service for six years and, without
her cargo, was valued at more than
$1,000,00O.
The Ancona played a prominent
part in the rescue of passengers from
the burning Fabre liner SAINT Anna in
mid-Atlantic last September IL. She
came to the SAINT Annals aid and took
off more than six hundred passengers.
The SAINT Anna carried more than two
thousand passengers, but succeeded
in checking the fire and proceeding to
the Azores without further assistance
from the Ancona
For several months before Italy's
entrance into the war the Ancona was
engaged in carrying home Italian
reservists from this country and sup
plies for the Italian government. On
one of her trips from New York to
Naples late in August last year the
Ancona was stopped by the British at
Gibraltar and "a Germans and one
Austrian were taken off the ship.

infant MORTALITY
IS FIFTH OF TOTAL
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH DE-
CLARES 20 PER CENT OF 1T
is PREVENTABLE.
DEATHS AVERAGE is DAILY
7 thousands Succumb at Early Age
Due to the Conditions Surround
ing the First Year
of Life.

Madison.-At least 20 per cent of in
FAINT mortality is preventable, declares
a statement issued by the state board
of health.
Every day in the year an average
of 142 babies are born in Wisconsin,
1t says. The deaths among children
under one year of age average fifteen
per day. This gives a death rate for
children under one year of age of los
for each 1000 children born, while the
average annual death rate for the en-
tire population, including persons Of
all ages, does not exceed twelve per
1000.
In 1910, 20.4 per cent of the chill
dren born in the state died before they
were one year old; in 1911, 101 per
cent; in 1912, 93 per cent. In 1912,
1873 per cent of the total number Of
deaths were of children under one
year. Deaths among children one year
of age evidently constitute about one
fifth of all the deaths recorded. This
is not as low as the rate of one-sixth
in some states or as high as the maxi
mum of about one-fourth in other
states.
Not all of the poorly nourished dis
eased children die during the first
year of life, but thousands of them
succumb at an early age from condi-
tions directly traceable to the first
year of life.

BRITISH SEARCH U. S. SHIP.
Act Committed in port of Progreso,
Mexico-Investiqat Ordered.

ACT ComfntLIeQ IN PORT OF FTO9TCSOS
Mexico-lnVestigation Ordered.
Washington, Nov. 12-The Ameri-
can steamship Zeelandia was forcibly
searched by a party from British
cruiser last week when lying in the
Port of Progreso, Mexico. The Ameri-
can consul there reports the cruiser
now lying outside, presumably wait
ing to seize the ship.
On the face of such a report as the
consul sent, even though it is incom-
plete, the official conclusion here is
that the British naval authorities not
only violated Mexican neutrality, but
far exceeded their rights in forcibly
searching an American ship in a neu-
trail port.
Forcible searching of an American
ship in a neutral port probably would
constitute one of the most serious is
sues to arise between the United
States and Great Britain in the con-
troversy now in the channels of di-
plomacy over the British navy's con-
duct toward American shipping.

FIRE LOSS is 100000.
Great Munition Shop at Bethlehem,
Pa. DESTROYED BY Flames.


South Bethlehem, Pa, Nov. 49,
With only the charred skeleton of No.
4 machine shop of the Bethlehem
Steel company standing as the result
of fire, officials of the company be-
gan planning Immediately for the ex-
tension of their capacity to it's for
mer figure. Estimates of the loss
place it in the neighborhood of $4,-
100000 The blaze was discovered in
a quantity of oil in the boring mill
section of the plant. It's origin is I'M
known.
The fire spread rapidly, and soon the
entire building was wrapped in flames.
The fire department of the steel plant
was called INTO action, as well as the
departments from four neighboring
towns. but their efforts were mainly
devoted to saving adjoining property
The value of the guns alone in the
shop is said to be several million dol
lars. There were about 1000 ma
chimes of different kinds in the build
ing running from lathes, shapers,
drills on down to boring machines.
These machines were worth from S40O
Tn several thousand dollars each, and
It is estimated that the value OF the
machinery was several million dol
lars
The burned shop was ESQ feet wide'
700 feet long and four stories nlgn'
On these four floors 1880 men were
employed in day and night shifts. In
the neighborhood of 800 men were at
work when the fire started, and SO
rapidly did it spread that some en-
ployees had to make their escape oy
means of ropes from the different
floors.

vocated bonding the county for $780,
00G for the purpose of building eighty
five miles of such roads on the main

crete roads are most desirable, the
committee says. The supervisors, it

TWO ARRESTED AFTER
THIRTEEN DIE IN FIRE
Brooklyn Trap-Owners Had
Been Warned.

New York, Nov. 9.-Edward l.. Dia-
the four-story factory building in
Brooklyn, where 13 persons lost their
lives on Saturday in fire, and II
were injured, were arrested on a
charge of criminal negligence. They
were remanded to Jail without BAIL
The specific charge against them is
that they failed to obey the orders
of the fire department to guard against
such a tragedy as occurred.
The fire department has been en-
deavoring for three months to fore
stall such a tragedy and had repeat
eddy warned the owners of the build
ing that they must provide more fire
escapes.
The building was said to have been
condemned. Absence of fire escapes
was asserted to be responsible for the
loss of life.
Of the known dead eight were girls
and women. The fire drove before it
the terrified girls and men who first
had sought to reach the stairs. 1t
herded them closer and closer to the
walls and closer and closer to the win
dows, which instantly had been
jammed.
Many of the injured girls received
their hurts when, driven by the flames,
they sprang from window Lodges and
the fire escape. The dead were found
in the building and on the fire escape,
which almost at once had become a
huge grill on which unfortunates were
roasted to death How the fire start
ed has not been determined.
