Indian Mutiny Denied

Reports in regard to an Indian uprising
are conflicting. Mail advices reaching
Washington on November Is, told Of the
execution Of "a Hindus, and the sentence
Of 27 others to servitude for life, by a
governmental commission at Lahore; also
described activities against the British
among certain elements Of the native
population as more extensive than had been
officially admitted
On November 19, however, the Indian
office in London, issued general denial
Of the uprisings There has doubtless
been more or less foundation for these re-
ports but they have in all probability been
exaggerated.
Cigar causes Zeppelin Explosion
A report issuing from Copenhagen, by
way of London, states that the Zeppelin
Z-18 was destroyed in an explosion at
Tondern, Prussia, caused by a lighted
cigar dropped on the gas-flled balloon.
Strict orders which had been issued among
the workmen against smoking, were dis
regarded.
The causalties are given as II killed or
wounded.
English Parliament Adopts Measures of
Practical Economy
According to London report, members
of Parliament have been surprised by re-
ceiving supply Of wooden spills in the
place of matches, penny wooden pen
holders instead Of the quilts so dear to
British officialdom, and "a few envelopes
and old sheets of note paper instead of
the unlimited supplies Of stationery to
which they have been accustomed. Mem
bers have previously used the houses of
parliament as club rooms.
When angry protests were made, mem
bers were informed by attendants, that
the first step in the direction of national
economy, recently demanded so earnestly
and eloquently in speeches, had been car
ried into effect.
Women Bear the Burdens of War
The women Of England claim that if
Lloyd-George will permit them to win the
war by solving the question Of munitions,
they will do it, pointing out that
100000 Of them can devote their entire
time to shell making. They say that
every woman can make at least one shell
day, which means a total daily output

Western Front Practically Unchanged

Operations along the Western front
have been confined Of late to mining at
tempts to blow up the enemy trenches,
and to heavy artillery duels.
The Senate army committee of France
has passed resolution, urging the un-
restricted use of asphyxiating gas.
Lull on Eastern Front
There is lull in the fighting along the
Eastern battle front Field Marshall Won
Hindenburg is reported to have left for
the West, but this seems unconfrmed
The Vossische Zeitung, German news
paper, states that the reason the Russian
defenses have baffed the skill Of Won
Hindenburg, and have resisted the German
artillery fire, is because they consist Of
sand instead Of stone or cement. Had
they consisted of rock they would have
been knocked to pieces long ago, but ex-
ploding projectiles are smothered in the
sand.
Dardanelles Offensive Breaks Out Afresh
A vigorous offensive has been resumed
by the British soldiers and warships at
the Dardanelles, involving heavy loss Of
life among the Turks, and the capture Of
280 yards Of trenches.
The new assault is regarded as Lord

tions that the Gallipoli campaign be aban-
doned.
A Turkish transport carrying about 500
Turkish soldiers was this week sunk by a
mine, in the Sea of Marmora, nearly all
on board being drowned.

szRBLANs FIGHTING TO LAST DITCH

SERBLANS FIGHTING TO LAST DITCH
Army Rapidly Depicting and Facing Cap
ture-Greeks Give Allies Verbal Assur-
ances-Dardanelle Campaign Re-
opened-Ttalians Launch
Desperate Offensive
News from the Balkans continues to be
largely medley of rumors and contra
dictory assertions, lacking official con-
frmation. About the only thing absolute
ly clear is the fact that tremendous fight
ing has been in continuous progress.
According to London reports, almost
four-ffths of Serbia is overrun by the
Austro- German and Bulgarian forces.
The main body of the Serbian army
seems to form narrow wedge occupying
position between the Teutonic forces on
the north and the Bulgarians on the south,
with only a narrow outlet through which
to escape into Montenegro
The Austrians and Germans estimate
that the army still numbers between
10000 and 10000 men, but that it is
diminishing at the rate Of 5000 daily.
Flight or capture seems the alternative
which these patriots face. If they stand
and fight to the last, it appears that they
can only be annihilated.
In an effort, on November 19, to distract
the Bulgars who were sweeping every
thing before them, in south eastern Serbia,
the French hurled all their strength against
the line of the invaders, on the Vardar
river The struggle was Of the most des-
perate character, the Bulgars being forced
across the steam. The French, however,
were unable to follow up their advantage,
sending message after message from the
front for re-inforcements
Prilip, which had stood out against the
invaders, was entered by the Bulgarian
army on November IT, Latest dispatches
report the city on fire.
The capture Of Monastir, Is miles to the
southwark, and located but Is miles from
the Greek frontier, has been reported
several times during the past few days
but it is now claimed that the city is hold
ing out, and that British troops are pour
ing in from Saloniki to aid in it's defense
1t is believed that the final stand Of the
Allies will be made before this city.

Greece Yields in Measure to Demands
of Allies

D. G. Rhallis, the Greek minister of
justice, is reported to have said that no
attempt will be made to disarm the Allies
in case they are forced into Greek terri
tory but that they can, in such an event.
dig trenches and defend themselves if
they must.
He states further that the Greeks will
even 90 to the extent Of establishing a
Gordon to safeguard their retreat.
In the meantime the allied fleet is said
to be blockading Greek ports, as a means
Of forcing the government to choose def
initely between the Allies and the central
powers.
Referring to this M. Rhallis has said:
"The only thing we want is peace, and
you are trying to force us to make war.
The British government and the British
press are taking a disgraceful and in
famous attitude toward us. They are
starving us; only today two more wheat
vessels have been stopped by them"

Fourth Great Offensive Against Goritz

The Italians are making another tre-
mendous attempt to take Goritz, half a
million men being engaged in the effort.
This marks the fourth great struggle for
the possession Of this stronghold, which
General Cadorna believes defends Austria
from an extensive invasion.
Reports are conflicting in regard to the
success Of these attacks, but it is evident
that such persistent efforts must event
ually produce results. The effect of the
Austrian artillery fire upon the Italian
forces is something terrific. On the other
hand the Italian commander has concen-
trated a cannonade against the fortress
which has hardly been surpassed in inten-
sity.
Cadorna, in the third great offensive,
which commenced October Is, distributed
an average Of 80 guns to the mile, along
a 50-mile 'front.' he has now changed his
tactics, however, by concentrating masses
of artillery against certain strong posi-
tions, with the center upon Goritz.
The fighting has been marked by in
fantry charges Of daily occurrence, in
which the men almost invariably become
gripped in ferocious hand to hand fighting
