ROTTERDAM, Nov. 12.-Berlin is

on the eve of a decisive victory and
the Serbian army in imminent dan

The correspondent Of the Lokal

The German, Austrian and Bull

The Berliner Tageblat prints the
following telegram from Sofia:
The retreat of the Serbian army
has degenerated into a wild flight.
The narrow paths in the mOrasses
which lead to the mountains of which
the troops could still make use
have been blocked by streams of the
Serbian civilian population fleeing
with their household property. Mill
Jary critics do not believe the Serbian

The Vossische Zeitung prints a
Sofia dispatch which says:

Arizona and "Queen Elizabeth :"
AS Rival Battleships

NEW YORK, June 16.-The United
States will launch the largest battle
ship in the world. the Arizona, at the
New York navy yard next Saturday.
In size the Arizona and her sister
ship. the pennsylvania (Which IS a

in several other desirable points the

Wherever naval men gather today
the question is sure TO arise. What
would happen if the Queen Elizabeth

This much is admitted: If the
Queen Elizabeth tried to close in with
the Arizona she would be sunk before
she could cripple the American ship,
provided. of course. that both were
equally well handled.
The Arizona has L 14-inch guns.

Again a larger number of the Arr

the Queen Elizabeth come this close ?
Would she not md an Irresistible adj

In considering this question it
should be brought 10 notice in the

the American.
But assuming she desires TO give

the American vessel could detect the
presence of the Britisher first and
steal away before being seen herself,
for the American basket mast with its
observation platform on top is many
feet higher than the observation plat
form of foreign battleships.
At about > miles the American
lookouts would identify the fighting
tops of the queen Elizabeth as an
enemys warship. Let us suppose
both ships keep coming up. The
Queen Elizabeth would open fire at
5000 yards or more. it is probable.
The American 14-inch gun is not con-
sidered an effective weapon much be
yond $4,000 yards. Below $4,000
yards the advantage would lie with
the American.
II is this zone between 1900 and
5000 yards which the Americans
would have To fear. With her supe-
rior speed could not the Queen Eliza
beth keep the American boat just
where she wished her-at between
$4,000 and 10000 yards? This is
what worries American naval men.
At $1,000 yards the gunners aboard
the Queen Elizabeth would not make
good target practice. Moreover, her
shells would not land with great
force and probably would be turned
aside by the Arizona's heavy belt
armor.
But the Queen Elizabeth could
keep her range and now and then
smash the less protected parts of the
Arizona while her antagonist could
do nothing TO iniure her,
The slow succession of weak hits

iectile could be called weaE-might
finally wear the American down and
give the victory TO the smaller Brit
