Subjugation of Serbia Near.

London, Nov. 23.-The Austro-Ger-

and weather, are bringing their sub
jugation Of Serbia to a conclusion.
Troops under General Won Koevess
have occupied Now Bazaar, according
to the Berlin headquarters report, and
have taken 4,400 more prisoners. 9th
err groups have pressed back the Mon
~tenegrins until they are defending
their last positions in the Sanjak.
General Won GallwitZ and the Bulga-
rians under General Boyadjieff are
trying to force the Valley of The Lin.
Serbs Steadily Forced Back.
Their ranks rent and torn, their
country under the conquerors' heel
the Serbians are being steadily forced
back to the great Kossovo plain. On
this historic battle-ground they will
make their last defense.
Not all of the Serbian army has
been caught in the invaders net, how
ever, according to dispatches. Part
of the harassed force is reported in
an official statement issued by the
Montenegro consulate at Paris to
have succeeded the Montenegrins on
the River Lin. The statement says:
"Our troops together with Serbian
forces, sustained heavy attacks on the
River Lin. In the Sanjak of Novi
Bazaar, our forces have been obliged
to retire upon their principal posi-
tions."

WHAT STATE INSURANCE
 DEPARTMENT E DOING

The following statement, calling at tention to the importance of the state insurance department, and to the amount of revenue collected in the last three months was issued yesterday by c. c. Thompson, superintendent of in surance:
 Phoenix, Arizona, April P, 1915. To Whom It May Concern:
 The following comparative statement is made to call attention to the import ance of the insurance department of the Arizona corporation commission of this state.
 Some misapprehension of the inn portance and scope of the work de volved upon this department has been had, and even now is entertained, by many of the citizens of this state, in cluding large percentage of our state legislators.
 We beg to call attention, in the statement which follows to the differ ence in amount of revenue collected and handled through this department and paid into the state treasury since February l of this year to this date, as compared with the amount collected from october l, 1913 to June 30, 1914. Statement of Receipts-Insurance De-
 partment
 February l, 1915 to April 22, 1915, s54,691.5S, less than three months; Oc- tober l, 1913 to June 30, 1914, $41,- S37.23, nine months; increase SIP, S54.35.
 We wish also to call attention to the fact that we have collected, and are yet to collect, revenues properly belonging to the state from source from which taxes have never before been collected in the history of the state or territory
 We have further revenues to collect from other sources provided by our in surance laws, which have never been properly enforced and systematiZed as they should have been through the in surance department
 We submit that if our law making body. as a whole and the tax paying citizens throughout the state had bet ter knowledge of what a well regu- lated insurance department means to our state, in the way of increasing the revenues to be turned into the state treasury, they would have a more lib- eral sentiment regarding making ample provision and appropriating sufficient financial support to secure the accom- plishment of the results referred to above and help to make the insurance department what it should be, and what it is the desire and ambition of the present management to have it be.
 Respectfully submitted,
 C. c. THOMPSON,
 Superintendent of Insurance.
