Reports From London.

London, Nov. IS, 1922, D. m.,- News from the Balkan continues to be a patchwork of unconfirmed ru- mors and contradictory assertions, without official statements to estab- nsh clearly the present status of af- fairs. The Serbian armies. with in sufficient ammunition and inferior numbers, have been attempting vain ly to meet the wide turning move ment of the Bulgarians, threatening Perlepe and Monastir. Some des- patchees from Athens report that Ferlepe already is in Bulga rian hands. All admit the Serbian posi- tioF1 there is untenable and that evac- : uauon Of the city is inevitable.
 News that the Bulga rian advance southward IS proceeding rapidly and has reached point within a few b hours of Monastir is said to have caused consternation in that city, whose population is fleeing to Greek Territory

MORE SAD NEWS FOR
 UNHAPPY TAXPAYERS
Committee Appointed to Learn What Expense Is Necessary to Fix Up
 Municipal Ice House.

Another unforeseen expense will be saddled on the taxpayers through the negligence of the Quigley administra- tion in allowing the municipal ice house to go to rack and ruin. This fact was brought out at the council meeting last night by Chairman w. B. Rossberg of the water commission which has charge of the structure MT. Rossberg estimates that the ex- pense of repairing the building will be $1,720, but there are others who believe this sum will not be sufficient.
 Complying with instructions of the council, Mayor Quigley today appoint ed a committee of five to consider the necessary repairs. The committee con- men Landers, Curtis McDonough and Dolan.
 Attention was called to the delapi- dated condition of the ice house months ago by this paper, but nothing was done and the building was allowed to rot slowly. Now the taxpayers face an additional expense because the administration did not take the stitch in time." The building is in bad con- dition and as Chairman Rossberg said at the council last night it will be necessary to affix braces to the sides to keep it together.

 General Obregon plans sending his cavalry south, following the line of the Southern Pacific, while his infan- try and artillery are divided into two columns, one going to the east and one to the west of the San Jose Mountains which stand between Naco and Cananea.
 Gen. Villa has approximately sixty five hundred troops between Mag dalena and Hermosillo.
 Ten carloads of copper bullion were seized from the Cananea Consolidated Copper company and taken to No- gales, where it arrived last night. Ten additional carloads are reported to be between Del Rio and Nogales, enroute to Nogales. How Villa pro- poses to use this metal has not been explained.
