WANT THEM TO
LEAVE THE WEST
PAYMENT OF MONEYS WOULD
BE SPLENDID INVESTMENT IF
RESULTS ARE ATTAINED

New York, Oct. 26.-Charles H.
Sheriff., formerly United States min
lister to Argentine, believes that the
time has come for the United States
to ask all European powers to leave
the western hemisphere, so that the
Americans may hove complete liberty
and absolute immunity from en-
tanglement in European quarrels.
"The time is ripe for such a re-
quest" Mr.. Sheriff. asserted, land
none knows it better than the Euro
pean governments. We are being ask
ed to list on our exchanges many of
their securities, a privilege which
every foreign government controls,
and for the concession of which they
always require compensation.
"1n compensation for opening our
exchanges to those European securi-
ties, which means opening our pock-
cts to European powers, it is our duty
to our fellow American republic and
to our children's children, so that they
may enjoy in peace their inherited
liberties, to complete the immunity
from entangling alliances, as proposed
by Washington and Monroe.
"Canada can have her indepen-
dence whenever she likes, but con-
tinues her connection with the Brit
ish empire by her own volition. Offer
the inhabitants of the Guianas, of
British Honduras and of other. Euro
pean colonies the same opportunity.
''If the Falkland Islands had been
returned to Argentina, to which they
are allied by propinquity and origin,
they could not have been used as a
naval base by European power, and
the battle Of the Falkland Islands
would have been fought elsewhere.
"We would be asking nothing for
the United States, but everything for
the liberty and assured peace of the
western hemisphere. If the European
powers should ask financial compen-
sation, there is no way in which the
resources of our great country could
be better expended in the cause of a
free hemisphere. In such payments,
participation by any of our sister re-
publics would, of course, be well
comed."
Mr.. Sherill urged that a request
for the evacuation of Latin American
territory by foreign governments is
the logical step to follow the efforts
initiated by South Americans last De-
cember to free all Pan American wa
ters from armed conflict between Eur
OpeanS.

Berlin, Oct. 27.-Via London: Di-
rect connection between the Austro-
German forces in Serbia and the Bull
garian army of General Boyadjietf
has been established on the Danube
river to the east of Brza Palanka,
according to the official announcement
made today by the German army
the extreme northeastern corner of
Serbia.
France and Serbian success in
southern Serbia probably will have
rendered untenable the Kumanovo-
Vranya line of the Bulgarians along
the Nish-Saloniki railroad according
to Saloniki dispatch. In north
western Serbia, the Austrians report
substantial progress.
London, Oct. 27.-The desperate
plight of the Serbians, which has
been described ever since the begin
ming of the Austro-G German and Bull
garian invasions as ian affair of ma
tional life or DEATH" is no longer a
rhetorical phrase, but the literal truth.
LOndon's optimism regarding the
outcome of the Balkan conflict, which
has been colored by reports of deter
mined Serbian resistance and difficult
ties which the invaders were meeting,
has yielded to the conviction that it
will take something in the nature of a
miracle to avert a disaster to Serbia.
Lord Lansdowne's exposition of the
Macedonian campaign in the house
of commons yesterday is regarded as
an indication that the assistance the
allies have been able to offer Serbia
was not sufficient to meet her needs.
The appeal of the Serbian premier
to England to "do everything you can
to ensure your troops reaching us as
soon as possible" intimates the re-
sistance of the Serbians in nearing
it's last stage. Austro-German and
Bulgarian forces are now within

west and southeast of Belgrade the

An analysis of the situation in regard

between Hungary and Bulgaria by

of the forces of the two countries
makes such communication at least
imminent.

Situation of Austrians at Gorilla
Critical

Chiasso, Switzerland, Oct. 27.-
Via Paris): Advices from Brescia
state that the Italians on Oct. 25, in
terrupted their bombardment of Cor
izia to permit the launching of for
midable infantry attack: They cap
tured strong positions, but the Aus
trian artillery proving effective
against them, the Italians resumed the
bombardment from the south of Toll
mino to Standrea.
The situation of the Austrians at
Gorilla is considered critical. Brescia
dispatches indicate, as the Austrian
artillery is out-ranged by the Italians
who are now attacking the Austrian

IS Mexicans at o'clock attacked Is
American soldiers at Ojo Del Aqua, a
small American settlement on the
American side of the Rio Grande
about six miles up the Rio Grande
river from here.
Three soldiers were killed, eight
wounded and number of Mexicans
killed in an intense forty minute bat
tie.
Viva Villa
The Mexicans killed in the fight had
white hatbands, bearing the words,
"Viva Villa"
Ole Del Aqua is near the river,
Dense brush, which even in daylight
limits the range of vision to few
feet, afforded the Mexicans perfect
cover as they scattered into small
groups and made toward the Mexican
boundary.
Surprise Failed
The bandits apparently failed in
their purpose to take the American
troops by surprise and massacre all of
them.
An American picket reported their
presence in time to give the troops q
chance to take positions for the des-
perate resistance against the odds.
Commander Slain
The soldiers were members of troop
G, Third cavalry and company D
corps. General Shafer commanded the
entire detachment. He was killed,
and with him Private Joyce and Nc
Connell of the signal corps met death.
Fifteen soldiers, fighting five
against one, skilled in brush shooting,
held their ground until relief came
from Mission, seven miles away, al
though half Of them were put out of
commission by the time the cavalry
arrived.
