 Along the eastern front the Seryians appear to be holding their own against the Bulgarians and arc making a stand on the western hank of the Moravn river. Their resistance has heen so stubborn the BuIsarians have had to call for assistance from the Austro- German army in their effort to drive the defenders out of I<atchaniI< pass. Thus far they have been unsuccessful.
 The British and French troops. which are receiving endorsements, are meet Ing with some success, and besides re- pulsing Bulgarian attacks have under taken small offensives with good results. Ihe Austro-Germans and Bulgarians. however, made such progress from tho beginning of the campaign that it will take serious work now to check them.
 Political Situation Grave
 For the moment the political situation is graver than the military. The central powers again have protested to Greece against the landing of allied troops at Salonih King Constantine is reported to have replied that as Salonik Is an open port there has been no infringement ot Greek rights in the landing and that Greece will remain neutral until one of the belligerents has transgressed against those rights. France and Italy who has Joined her allies by sending warship to Saioniki, are particularly anxious as to the attitude of Greece.
 The Russians have repelled definitely Won Hindenburg's drive toward Riga and Dvinsk and along the Dvina river and have taken the offensive, but apparently, owing to the state of the ground, have made only slow progress in the marsh region west of Riga.

 GIVEN OUT TO PUBLIC
Statement From White House Says Burkitt Was Dismissed Without Wilson's Knowledge of Action.
 Meant No Disrespect

Washington, November IA state- ment issued at the White House to- night saying that the action of Post master A. M. Kloepfer at Winnetka, H., in removing his assistant from of- flee because he criticized President Wilson's engagement to be married was taken without the authority or kno wledge of the President
 Published reports brought the inci- dent to the attention of White House officials today and at the same time it was learned that the dismissed as- sistant postmaster, George Burkitt, had vainly appealed to the postoffice department to over-rule his superior
 Postmaster Kloepfer. according to published reports, called upon Burkitt to explain a remark accredited to him that the President should wait at least a year before remarrying" Bur kilt admitted making the statement in the course of general conversation in the postoffice. but denied being guilty of any disrespect. Then the postmaster charging him with disloyalty and call ing attention to demerits placed against his record for unsatisfactory service" asked for his resignation.
 In appealing to the postoffice de- partment, Burkitt protested that his removal had been irregular; that no formal charges had been filed against him and that he had been given no opportunity to reply. Daniel c. Roper, third assistant postmaster general, is said to have replied that the civil serv- ice laws had been fully complied with.
 Mir. Roper, when asked about the case tonight, said he did not remem- Der 1t very clearly, but had the im- pression that matters other than the remarks about the President led to Burkitt's removal. He said he probably would issue a statement tomorrow.

Born in Slavery in 1858. Figured in Sensational Roosevelt Incident-Ex-
 erted Great Influence for
 Betterment of His People

Tuskegee, November 14.- Booker T. Washington, the noted negro educator and founder of Tuskegee insti- tute, died of a nervous break down early today at his home here, four hours after his arrival from New York. The negro leader had been in fail ling health for several months, but his condition became serious only last week while he was in the east. He realized the end was near, but was determined to make the long trip south to bear out his oft-repeated statement that he had been 'born in the south, have lived all my life in the south and expect to die and be buried in the south.''
 Accompanied by his wife, his secre- tary and a physician, Washington left New York for Tuskegee at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. He reached his home last midnight and died at 4:40 o'clock this morning.

Burkitt Was Discharged

Chicago, November 14.-George Bur- kilt was discharged from his posi- ton as assistant postmaster at Win- netka suburb. un November 4. by Postmaster "A. M Kloepfer, who wrote Rurkitt a note giving as reason your disloyalty to the President and the very unsatisfactory service which you have been rendering, as evidenced by the demerits which have from time to time been imposed upon you, and numerous other acts of which you are fully aware
 Burkitt in making public today the let ters exchanged between himself and the postmaster and with Assistant Postmas- ter General Roper, said there had been no demerits against him. He said there had been two conversations in the post office at Winnetka about the President s bethrothaL In one all the clerks were talking of the affair, he said, and several had expressed opinions.
 Made Remarks Casually
 Burkitt said that later a man came in and remarked that the President was go- ing to be married and added: Didn't wait long, did he?'' Burkitt said he replied hardly year. or something of the kind, adding, "It seems to me that a man ought to wait at least year be- fore remarrying, and don't see why the President should be any exception
 Burkitt said that in both instances he made the remarks casually and meant no disrespect to the President. The only person who overheard the second conver- sa ton besides the speakers, Burlxitt said was Postmaster Kloepfers brother who later was appointed to Burkitts posi- tion. Burkitt said that MT. Kloepfer had made efforts to get back the correspond ence in the case.
 Postmaster Kloepfer said today that the discharge had been in conformity

New Junior Choir Composed
of l3O Members Will Sing

Perhaps no organization in the
Stevens Memorial Church has greater
possibilities ahead than the new
junior choir. Through its office the
music of the church and Sunday
school is not only improved, developed
and maintained, but a greater love
for the church, an appreciation of its
services, and, best of all, reverence
for holy things, creep into the hearts
of the children, until their attitude
toward worship becomes dignified and
beautiful.
These are conditions which the
Protestant Church has been striving
for years to accomplish, but has only
in measure succeeded in obtaining.
The junior choir will make it's first
appearance. 131 strong, at the Sun
day evening closing service tomorrow
at 730 o'clock. In connection with
the service DR.. Smucker will talk.
