SERBIAN ARMIES DIVIDED

HOPED THAT WINrRY WEATHER
WILL ENABLE ANGLO-k kENCh
lkUUPS 10 BE RklNFORCED
(By Associated Press. J

London, Nov. 29.-The British
public is not inclined to the German
story that the Serbian campaig gn
has been brought to a successful
conclusion. The hope is expressed
here that wintry weather will afford
a chance to the Anglo-French troops
to be reinforced until they are strong
enough to assume the offensive and
before the invaders consolidate their
forces in Serbia.
In the meantime the only mill
tary activity seems to center around
Monastir, the fate of which is OBJ
scure. Reports concerning it are
most contradictory Farther to the
north it is reported that the Serbian
armies are divided into two sections
and are retreating in Albania and
Montenegro.
An unexpected lull has come on
the eastern front, and Paris reports
quiet IN the west.

HARD LUCK FOR JAMICA.
GINGER FIENDS

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 29-Ja-
maioa ginger was put on the list of
conditional contrabands by the City
Commission when it passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting its sale of dis
tribution, except upon prescrip-
tin signed by a reputable physician.
The ordinance was necessary as
many persons are now using Jamaica
ginger as a substitute for liquor
which they cannot obtain because of
the stringent prohibition laws.
The commission tried to frame an
ordinance which would prohibit the
sale cf Jamaica ginger in quantities
of more than one-half ounce, but this
could not meet the needs, as per-
son could visit any number of drug
stores durig a day. The ordinance
adopted provides fine of not more
thar enc hundred dollars and i'm
prisonment for not more than six
months for persons who sell the
commodity

"FLY.BY-NIGHT" NEWSPAPERS

Brussels, Nov. 29.-One of the
various problems with which the
German authorities in Belgium have
to struggle is the suppression of
"f1y-b! might" newspapers inimical
to the German cause which are
printed in France, England and Hol-
land and smuggled into the country.
The Germans have never attempt
ed &c exclude genuine, well known
and established and recognized jour-
nails OF other countries. The London
Times and the Paris Temps are to be
purchased as easily as the Frank
furter Zeitung and the Berliner
Lokal Anzeiger anywhere in German
territory. What they have tried to
do is to suppress the varied assort-
ments of temporary" papers pub
lished for purely anti-German pro-
paganda purposes and intended
merely for Belgian consumption.
The latest of these is the Cour-
rier de la Meuse, a newspaper pub
lished in Holland. Copies of it
seized in Liege recently bore date
two days in advance of the day when
the seizure was made and contained
alleged news dated ahead by "a and
4S hours The stories" were eXclu-
sively reports of German defeats, and
contained tales of enormous German
losses-losses so enormous that none
of the French and English journals
ever attempted to claim that they
had been inflicted.
Though the news" in these pa
pers is over and over again proved
to be false, the journals still find
ready sale, and their dispatches are
given the same credence as the re-
currine rumors, based on distant
cannonading, that the French, Eng
lish and Belgians are approaching
Brussels once more.

clares that the only solution OF the prob

the rupture Of the ties which still nom

right for entire liberty of action. "Suf.
fering grave losses, Italy has waited
many months while listening TO propos.

shown every desire to avoid rupture,
but as the compensations offered are in.
adequate. Italy must claim that liberty
of action which Germany and Austria
have taken for themselves since August.
Everyone feels accordingly that the pres
ent feyerish resumption OF negotiations
is merely the prelude to rupture of
the triple alliance with all its inevita Bile
consequences. The German ambassador.

Italy must be either the ally or the en-
