A GENERAL SURVEY OF
THE WAR.

Thursday, Nov. 18.-Monastir, the
last remaining large city of Serbia, is
reported to have been occupied by the
invading Bulgars.
To the south the French won stcik.
ing victory over the Bulgarians in the
Vardar valley, but it is doubtful if
they are of such strategical import
ance as will give any relief to The
hard pressed Serbs.
Denys Cochin has had an audience
with King Constantine of Greece. The
minimum demand upon the Greek king
is for a definite and binding pledge
that there will be no interference with
the operations of the allies from Sa-
loniki, and no interment of any forces.
British, French or Serb, that may be
forced to retreat to Greek territory
Both threat and inducement are being
employed to this end and the holding
of Greek shipping in British and
French ports is an evidence that the
allies are about at the end of their
patience.
A Copenhagen dispatch reports a
f1otilla of twenty-five German tor
pedo-boats and a big cruiser passing
Helsingborg, and apparently headed
for the North, Sea.
Friday, Nov. 19.-Vienna reports the
main Serbian army hemmed in on the
border of the Sanjak of Novibaza and
making it's probable last stand. The
same reports declares that neither es-
cape into Albania nor Montenegro nor
aid of reinforcements from the south
is possible.
London denies that Monastir is oc
cupied by Bulgarians, and says the
constant increase of the allied force
in the south threatens the Bulgarian
flank in case it extends it's lines to-
ward Monastir further.
Copenhagen dispatches, which are
not altogether trustworthy, state that
Greece. has ordered her ships away
from French and ItAlian ports, and
that the allies have issued an ultima
tum to Greece.
Saturday, Nov. 20.-The French
troopship Calvados was torpedoed by
an unknown submarine in the Mediter-
ranean The Calvados carried 500
French troops who were returning
home. Fifty-three survivors were pick.
ed by the British steamer Lady Ply
mouth
"a IL min in
the war on the side of the allies or
disqualification of the Greek army was
demanded by the entente powers.
The Serbian armies have been for
the better part of two months gradu-
ally falling back before the Teutonic
advance from the north, and are now
reaching territory in close proximity
to the Montenegro border
Five miles to the northwest of Now
Pazar the Austrian advance has
reached Sienica. narrowing appreci-
ably the gap through which the Ser
bian retreat must he conducted.
Sunday, Nov. 21.-The Serbian
town of Novipazar, which is only
twenty-five miles from the Montene-
grin frontier, was taken by the Ger
mans.
The American steamship Genesee
was seized by a prize crew in st. Lu-
cha, British West Indies.
Bitter warfare by the use of mines
took place in the Souchez district.
The Russian recaptured Czartorysk
just twenty-four hours after it was
taken by the Germans.
The Ribe-Stifts Tidende said the
huge new Zeppelin q Is, while being
inflated at Tondern, exploded and was
destroyed One workman was killed
and eight wounded. The explosion )
said to have been caused by lighted
cigar.

Wart Cure.

This is a sure and harmless cure
for warts. Go to the drug store and
get ten cents worth of cinnamon oil
and put it on the warts every night
and in the morning if you wish. Do
not be afraid of getting it on the other
skin around the warts, for it will not
hurt it. The warts will soon start to
disappear as quickly as they came. 1t
is best to apply with a toothpick.
