Serb. Position Pcl'ilOuS.

London, Oct. 25.--Reports from
the Balkans tell Of the increasing
gravity Of Serbias position. To the
north the Bulgarian and Austro-Ger-
man forces are within 80 miles of
joining hands. To the south, half of
Serbian is held by the
BuI@arlans, If the report Of their cap
ture of tskup is correct. This would
mean that the invaders have nearly
all the means OF communication
Ihe only news favorable to the en-
tcnte powers is found in the optim-
lStlc reports concerning the Franco
SERBIAN offensive near Krivolak ,
where the Bulgarians are said to be
giving way before a vigorous flank
attack.
The French troops, working up the
railroad line from Saloniki, have Sc
cured possession OF the line as far as

Poor Mrs. Smith.
(TO BE CONTINUED

A minister was recounting some Of
his amusing experiences in marrying
people. There's an old CUSTOM"
said he, that the bridegroom shall
kiss the bride Immediately after the
marriage ceremony is over. It's a
good, practical custom, for 1t serves
more handily than anything else that
l know of to dissipate the awkward
pause that almost always follows a
simple, informal ceremony. For this
reason keep the custom alive.
"One day a man whom / shall call
Smith came to the parsonage to be
married. Mr.. Smith was a pompous
consequential little man. The pros
pective Mrs. Smith was a fine, win
some girl. After the ceremony, Mr.
Smith, in spite of his pomposity, did
not seem to know just what was the
next thing to do, so, as is my prae
tice in such emergencies, said: M,
dear sir, it is your privilege to SALUTE
the BRIDE He turned around and ex
tending his hand formally, said: Mrs
Smith, congratulate you"

installed, Westerling was talking
with the premier in the Gray capital.

"Only two hundred thousand of
those are dead!" replied Westerling.
MANY with only slight wounds are

Of twenty-five. That wouldn't have
worried Frederick the Great or Napo-

one out of six. The trouble is that
such vast armies have never been en-.
gagged before. You must consider the
percentages, not the totals"
"Yet, eight hundred thousand! II
the public knew!" exclaimed the pre-.
mier.
"The public does not know!" said
Westerling.
"They guess. They realize that we
stopped the soldiers letters because
they told bad news. The situation is

to think about?" Westerling demanded
