SERBlAN SLOW BUT SURELY BEING PRESS-
 ED BACK BY INVASION
Cannot Much Longer Withstand Attacks. - Invaders Making Progress along Northern and Eastern Frontiers.

London, Oct. 26.-The Serbian troops which have been so gallantly holding the little northeastern corner of their country where the Austro- German and Bulgarian armies are about to join are being slowly forced back as the pressure upon them be- comes greater. The Marquis of Land sdoWne, Minister without portfolio in the British cabinet, respectfully an- nounced this evening that he feared they could not much longer withstand the attack.
 In fact all along the northern and eastern frontiers of Serbia the invad- CTS are making steady progress al- though at a great cost and the Ser bians now that they have reached the hills are making them pay heavily for every mile covered. It is only in the south where the French have joined hands with the Serbians that the Bull garians are being held. Here the French and Serbians are entrenching themselves and are awaiting rein forcements with which they hope to drive the Bulgarians out of Mace donia.
 Great Britain and France are dis patching strong force to the near least and are only awaiting the re- port of General Sir Charles Carmich- ael Monro the new British commander of the Gallipoli peninsula and other military and naval advisers to decide lat which point they will be used. Great Britain and France, the Mar quis of Lansdowne said, had taken up the challenge of neutral powers in the near east and were preparing to strike blow for blow and hope event ually to receive the support of Greece and Roumania, although not counting lon them.
 Sir Edward Grey today told the House of Commons that Great Brit ain's offer to cede Cyprus to Greece had elapsed as Greece had not fulfilled her treaty obligations to Serbia.
 On the eastern and western battle fronts as in Serbia, heavy fighting continues. In the Riga and Ovinsk regions the German Field Marshal V5n Hindenburg undaunted by re- peated failures during the past forty days to reach the Russian fortress on the Dvina river is making another flu rious determined effort to achieve his aim.
 Reports today were that he had made further progress, particularly near Iloukst. Along the rest of the line through the provinces of Wilma, Grodno and Volhynia there have been battles at many points with the ad- vantage at first on one side and then on the other.
 The Italians are still carrying on their offensive agaist the Austrians, while the struggle in the Champagne region of France, begun when the French captured a portion of La Cour- tine works from the Germans, some .of which the Germans have recaptur- od is still in progress.
 They first claimed that they had eN- tended their gains here by taking an adjoining trench north of Massiges.

NATURAL MEANS OF DEFENSE
Possibility That Another Generation ef Fighters Efs9 Utilize Their
 Whiskers.

Here is War comment from George W Monroe. the comedian:
 The Russian army has one adYan. tage over all other armies, and that i7 Whiskers II has an entanglement of Whiskers that nothing can penetrate not even lyddite, shrapnel or slugs X Russian soldiers whiskers are not the fossy kind that toss around with every passing gale. They are so d0ra- ble that when he falls on them he does not even bend them he drives them into the ground The only time q Rus sian soldier 1. in danger is when he turns the back of his#head 10 the en= emy. The other armies may have the best tactics, armament, discipline, spirit and patriotism,= but the Russian army has the ehilledsteel Whiskers.
 The most difficult job a=Red Cross nurse has 10 perform, after the Rus sian army has finished an engage ment. is to comb the bullets and shells out of the soldiers whiskers.
 Fifty years from now, when the next great war is fought, it will not be a question of rapid-tiring, long-range guns; 1t will be a question of whis- kers. The world will ask which army has the best Whiskers Whiskers Will decide the battle. Nations will no longer waste money in buying big guns and testing them. They will grow Whiskers for national defense and they will test an army's efficiency by drawing up company on the parade grounds and allowing husky coal beaver to go down the line and hit each soldier in the face with all ax. Whiskers that won't make the ax bounce will be sent 10 the rear as un- fit for the firing line

TAKES ISSUE WITH EDISON
Here is One Man Who Does Not Be. Iisve the World Will Give
 Up Sleep.

MT Edison says sleep is a bad habit, and that we shall some day get over it Like drinking and smoking, it is to be among those things which we shall try in time to give up on the first of the year. He says people called him crazy when he said electricity would supplant all other motive power in transportation, and one therefore hesi tates to say that he is crazy about anything However, we will hazard a guess that if he is off his box my where, it is with respect to the pleas ant custom of indulging ourselves ill a good sound snooZe. How else we are to refresh ourselves from the days work we cannot imagine The trouble with this objection, as it applies to MT. Edison, is that he doesn't think we are wearied by the days work. He and some of his associates worked at something for a given period of time 21 hours day, and they all gained weight He leads us to infer that it is what we do when We are not working that wearies us Thinking over it briefly, We believe there is something in that. Probably half the things we do in our leisure time is very hard work. The celebrated tired business man is only tired when his wife wants him to go out somewhere after din- her. It is the opera and the fox trot that wear him out Still, think of giv ing up sleep If it is a habit, it is nice one. We have got some glimpses of what Mr Edison means when We have tried to sleep in a chair car, but given feather bed and soft pillow, we don't get him at all Last night, for instance Wasn't the habit deli cious last night?
