GERMANS SURE Of

dispatch from its correspondent in

headquarters OF the army of Field
Marshal Won MackenZen Nov 4.-The
situation has cleared as regards the
position Of the allied armies OF the
central powers on all fronts. No in
PREVENTION from outside can now pre-
vent complete victory for our offensive
In Serbia.
There remains to the Serbians the
possibility OF drawing out the war BY
retreat 20 MOntenegrO. but even this
maneuver offers them little promise Of
an effective defense from the Austria
Hungarian forcs which have been
pressing forward from Bosnia They
have already captured Dzice and sew
eral other important key positions
and are rapidly advancing behind the
Serbian line OF retreat.
while the Bulgarians and the army
OF Gen. Won GallwitZ advancing from
the east. are approaching Nish. other
army groups Of the German forces
are moving forward in the MOrava
valley against the lines Of cOmmuniCa-
ton to the west OF Nish.
The troops Of Gen Won Koevess
are threatening the last strong defen-
siVe positions lying further IN the in
terror country where the enemy may
be expected 10 make his last stand.
of the Serbians are also defeated
there, long resistance by guerrilla war
fare is hardly 70 be expected owing to
the enormous superiority of the allied
forces now pouring in from all sides
and the impOssibility of replenishing
their supplies OF ammunition. The
improbability OF an effective Serbian
resistance is increased by the fact that
the armies OF the central powers dur
ing the campaigns in the Carpathians
learned the art Of mountain warfare
in the most difficult possible circum-
stances
There is a possibility Of a sudden
change in the situation. which may
lead earlier than was expected to the
abandonment Of the bravely conduct
ed defense Of the Serbians, in recog-
milton OF its hOpelessness."

MEDDLESOME CENSOR
CAUSES ARREST HERE
Business Snarl Brings ACCUSE
ton, Then Apology.

How the work Of the stern war con-
sor in Europe caused the arrest Of an
innocent and energetic young business
man right here in New York was told
yesterday before Magistrate Nolan in
the Tombs court The victim was Al
fred V. Guidet, manager Of the Metal
Export Company Of America, "a Stone
Street. His sccuser was Albert A.
Moers, president Of the same concern.
Moers had recently taken great lik-
ing 10 Guidet and showed his regard by
making the young man his business
manager. Then Moers married his
stenographer and went abroad. He be-
gan 70 get puzzling letters and cable
grams from Guidet, and, fearing that
all was not well. ne suddenly returned.
On his arrival he found that many
checks had been Endorsed over to
Guidet. There was a stormy interview
between Moers and his young protege
that ended in the lstter's arrest. Then
Mr.. Moers went around to his bankers,
Muller, Schrswl & Co., 45 William
Street, and was amazed TO And that
they had not received a single one Of
his cablegrsms instructing them TO ad-
vance money 70 Guidet to run the bust
ness.
Meanwhile Guidet had declared that
he had been advancing thousands Of
dollars to the firm from his own COM
missions. When the case came up yes
terday Moers told Magistrate Nolan
that not only did he withdraw the
charge against Guidet, but he asked
permission to read his apology to the
defendant into the record.
