Balkan Disaster Forecast by Lord LandsdOwne, COnser-
yative Member of British Cabinet---House of Lords
Gets Outline of Terse Situation.
FRENCH VETERANS ROUT BULGAR ARMY IN BATTLE

London.-Serba cannot hold out
much longer, it was admitted officially.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, replying to
a question in the House of Lords, told
of Serbia's desperate plight, and in
the same statement said hat the
British force landed at Salonica num-
bered only 10000 troops-all that
could be collected, he said, at the time
Serbia asked for aid. Venizelos, then
Premier, he told, suggested the land
ing at Salonica to enable Greece to
fulfill her treaty obligations toward
Serbia.
At the same time, Lord Lansdowne
continued, a much stronger force was
put under orders and transports ar
ranged. Ultimate destination of this
force, he said, must depend on the re-
port of General Monro, the new Brit
ish commander-in-chief who reached
the Gallipoli peninsula and will make
a report on the situation.
While no criticism was made of the
conduct of the Near Eastern campaign
there was a general demand, when the
House of Lords met, for information
from the Government. The sugges-
ton also was pointedly made that the
Cabinet should be reduced in size.
Earl Loreburn asked whether the
dispatch of troops to Salonica had
been determined upon with the ap.
prevail of the naval and military adj
visers, and whether the Government
could give assurance that full proyi-
sion had been made for the communi-
cation of this force and for its supply
of men and material to the satisfaction
of the naval and military experts.
He got in reply a comprehensive
outline of the campaign up to date.
Earl Curzon of Kedleston, Lord of
the Privy Seal, made the statement
that Premier Asquith already has un-
der consideration the advisability of
reducing the size of the executive
body.

Scholz admitted that Fay got $4,000
from German Secret Service agents IN

FAY was questioned by Secret Ser
vice men under the direction of Chief

tectives directed by Fifth Deputy Po-

he made a statement admitting that

NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Woman Who Had Suffered for Many
Years Is Cured by Bolt of
Lightning.

The medical faculty was put 20
shame by a bolt of lightning which
the other night struck the farmhouse
of Charles A. Burdick, on Washing
ton Ridge, says the Berlin Comm
correspondent of the New York Her
aid. The electric bolt destroyed arti-
cles in all the eight rooms Of the
house and did damage exceeding ST.
900, but it cured Mrs. Burdick of rheu-
matism, from which she had suffered
for many years.
Mrs. Burdick was about to put wood
in the kitchen stove when the bolt
struck her, knocking her down and
rendering her unconscious. One of
her feet was on zinc beneath the
stove. The lightning took nail out
of the sole of her shoe and her foot
was severely burned. DR.. Thomas
Mulligan of New Britain soon revived
her.
Today Mrs. Burdick, although suf-
fering from the burns on her foot.
was free from rheumatic pains. She
does not think the price her husband
must pay in repairs to the house too
high, but Mr.. Burdick is discreetly ST.
lent.
