carefully he was hidden so that she

they searched for him-and you. For
ten years she wrote to ycU, begging

BIG BATTLE FLEET
To Be Added to Uncle Sans
NaVy

To Be Added to Uncle Sans
Navy.
Washington. Oct 12.-From fifteen
to twenty fighting ships of the dread
nodght and battle cruiser types, with
proportionate number of seagoing
submarines, coast submarines, scout
cruisers, destroyers and auXiliaries-
enough to make new American feet
is contemplated by Secretary Dan
iels for recommendation as five
year building program for the United
States navy.
1t is not known as yet what the
plans of the navy are for the organi-
zation of the new fleet, but the gener-
al belief in naval quarters is that the
plan of having fleet in the Pacific
will figure materially in the program.
The five-year naval program, when
completed, would add, in addition to
dreadnoughts and battle cruisers
nearly a hundred submarines, about
seventy destroyers, several scout
cruisers and a proportionate number
of fuel and hospital ships.
The total cost of the proposed pro
gram for the first year, according to
present plans, is estimated at nearly
S24S,0O0000, or about $100.000,0O0 in
crease over last year. Just what con
structon should be provided for the
first year has not been determined.

London Oct 13.-The Austro-Ger-
mans having brought their offensive
to an end except in the region OF the
Dvinsk, the Russians have recuperat-
ed wonderfully and are striking back.
The Germans claim another sue
cess west of Dvinsk but they are still
fighting to the west of Illukst. They
also announce that Russian counter
attacks have been repulsed south Of
the Prpet River in Volhynia and in
Galicia.
The Russians seemingly have en-
tirely regained the initiative, especial
ly in Galicia. Here it is reported
from Petrograd that the Russians
have won a victory on the River
Stripa The territory on which this
battle was fought marks the extreme
left of the Russian battle line. The
Russian offensive on this front start
ed several weeks ago when successes
were won at Tarnopol and Trembow-
Ia. Austro-German reinforcements
were rushed up and hard and inces-
SAINT fighting has taken place since.
General Count Won Bothner com
mands the Austro-Germans in this
sector and the German official report
of today says that the positions of
the German troops" with him is un-
changed
The Russian reports say Russian
forces pierced the Austro-German
lines on the Stripa, taking prisoner
more than 1000 men and GO officers
aud 4 guns and 10 rapid-frers, and
that the Russian advance is being
pushed vigorously.

London, Oct. 13.-Serbia is now be-
ing attacked from the north and the
/ east. The Austro-Germans, after
their capture of Belgrade, have occup-
led Semendria on the Danube east of
the capital and are advancing south
ward, while the Bulgarians have sent
forces to endeavor to interrupt COM
munications north and south of Nish.
the wartime capital of Serbia, and
attack the Serbs on the flank il they
are driven back by the German Field
Marshal Won Mackensen.
The Serbian Legation yesterday re-
ceived this telegram from Nish:
Last night Bulgarians began an at
tack in the direction of Vlasina.
(vlasolince? All attacks UP to the
present have been repulsed decisively
Veasolince is twenty-five mnes
Southeast of Nish and eight miles
from the Nish-U skub Railroad.
The Berlin War Odice bulletin yes
terday announcing tn. taking of Sc
mendria on Monday contained no fur
ther reference to the operations IN
Serbia. 1t merely said:
Our forward movement over the
whole front is making good progress.
Both the town and fortress of Sc
mendria were taken yesterday.
The situation in the Balkans as tho
result OF Bulgarias attack is admit
ed TO be very serious one, not only
for Serbia, but for the whole Allied
cause. 1t is asserted that the Ser
bians are infiicting very heavy loss
es both on the Austro-Germans and
Bulgarans, but with their army of
about a quarter of million men they
are believed to have little chance OF
making any prolonged resistance
against 100000 of 100000 Austro-Ger-
mans and probably 100000 Bulgars.
They already are arranging for the
transfer of the capital to Monastir,
in the extreme southwestern corner
of the kingdom.
Greece apparently has decided to
ignore the treaty under which she is
supposed to 80 to the assistance of
her Serbian ally in case of an attack.

cially notified of the Bulgarian attack
that Greece remains in u position of
