But not alone on the extreme north

katchanik pass was defended by the

was that the wave broke against the
Stubbornly defended mountains. For

Prizrend, and by reaching the Alba
nian frontier and cutting Serbia in
two the Teutons would make them
selves masters of this important pass.
The Bulsarians suffered extremely
heavy losses. Prisoners admitted that
they had never expected such resist
ance, and officers who fell into the
hands of the Serbians say that the at
tacks Were SO costly that it is practi-
cally certain they will not be renewed

garian force advancing on Tetovo suf-
fered especially severely, only a few
men being left out of two regiments
after one severe struggle.
In the south. in the north and
center, the Serbians are scoring sue
cesses. The gallant little force which
held Babuna pass against foe four
times more numerous has every reason
to be. proud of it's fine achievement. Ii

Come to Babuna Barrier.
After the evacuation of Veles on
October II by the Serbians, the in
vaders met with little opposition until
they came to the mountain barrier Of
Babuna, held by 5000 Serbians. The
Bulgars began the attack by a sue
cessful assault on Izvor, and when
that was accomplished the enemy held
the left bank of the Babuna river.
while the Serbs clung to the right. At
this time the Bulgarians were prob
ably $1,000 strong and another slight
advance forced the Serbs, whose total
force was not more than 5000 to re-
treat in the direction of Abdipa sha
Hahn"
The enemy then brought up rein
forcements, amounting to 5000 men,
and November a drive toward kor-
stet, on the right. was attempted The
Serbs saw the move in good time and
were ready to meet it. A desperate ac-
tion took place and the Bulgarians
were driven back on the run, leaving
$50 dead on the field.

matte revolver to work with him from

he resides. 1t was pay day and he
feared ne might be held up on his way
home.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Kuik took
the revolver out OF his pocket and Bar
rett asked to see it. kuik removed
the mazagine, but forgot to take out
one cartridge. Barrett was examining
it, when he touched the trigger and the
cartridge was exploded.
Died in the Ambulance.
Barrett fell to the floor and Kuik
rushed to his side. Samuel s. Fort, an
oiler, who was in another part of the
brewery, heard the shot. He found
Barrett lying on the floor. Fort tele-
phoned to Casualty Hospital for the
ambulance. Barrett was unconscious
and died in the ambulance.
Lieut. Plemmons of the fifth precinct
and several officers made an investi-
CATION of the shooting. They said it
is their belief that the shooting was
the result of an accident. Kuik, how
ever, was taken to the police station
pending a decision of Coroner hewitt.
Barrett had been working at the
brewery for six or seven weeks, while
Kuik had been employed there only a
short time. The men are said to have
been good friends during their short

TEUTON DIPLOMATS
FACING INDICTMENT
Evidence of Their Violation of
Laws Against Conspiracy
Is PiIing Up.

NEW YORK. November l3.-So acute
has grown the situation with relation
to the Teuton propagandists that Will
liam J. Flynn. chief of the United
States secret service. and H. Snowden
Marshall, United States district attor-
ney for this district, were summoned
to Washington today to confer with
the authorities there as to their next
move.
On excellent authority it was learned
that the government officials here have
amassed a considerable amount of evil
dence against three high officials in
the Teuton diplomatic corps. So i'm
portant is this evidence that a star
chamber conference was deemed ad-
visable before taking any positive ac-
ton.
The evidence in the case of at least
one of these diplomats is alleged to be
suff1cient to cause his indictment for
violation of this country's statutes with
respect to conspiracies.
Some Indictments Possible.
Just what the next move will be will
depend on the verdict of Secretary of
State Lansing, with whom the secret
service head and the United States dis
trict attorney will confer.
Those well informed with respect to
the activities of the United States
secret service and the agents of the
Department of Justice in the running
down of Teuton agents in this country
look forward to the Indictment of a
prominent German-American shipping
man, who is known to the United

Serbia Will Hold Out, Is Claim.
Serbia can and will hold out That

scribing the Serbian fight "One officer
of my acquaintance tells me that he
had a long talk with Gen. Putnik
few days ago, and that he found the
veteran hopeful as to the Serbian situa-
ton. .
The old g,iard of Serbia has continued
its most marvellous defensive tactics.
Prisoners who have been taken, admit
that on the various battlefields of Eu-
rope they have experienced nothing
of quite such an extraordinary nature
as the stubborn way in which the men
of Morava have slowed down the Ger
man advance Between Palanka and
Kraguyevatz it has not all been ques-
ton of retreat. An officer prenent at
the action of the Shoumadia division
before Kraguyevatz, described to me
brilliant little battle in which the Ger
mans were made aware once more OF
the fighting qualities of Col. Tezitch's
men.
"On the hill before the town the divi-
sion took up a good position. The colo
mel, though the orders were to retreat,
knew the spirit of his men and de-
manded that at least once they should
be allowed to tackle the invader, SO the
order was given to advance and at
tack.
