discussion of the motion to strike the

The bill for investigation was de-

declaring it to be "the greatest crime

Servian Army Remnants
Gathering for Defense

NISH, Feb. 10.-Still bleeding from
its earlier wounds, the remnants of
Servia's little war-wrecked army are
gathering for heroic defense of their
native soil.
Austro-German forces, numbering
100000, are massed on the northern
frontier, preparing for third invas-
ion of Servia. What is left of the
Servian armies is determined to die,
if necessary, to throw back the in
vaders and save the nation for for
eign domination.
His excellency, M. Paghitch, prime
minister of Servia and minister of
foreign affairs, drew this picture to-
day fer tfe people of America, in an
cxcluriye interview, granted the Unit
ed Press. He asked no help from
other nations, he said.
"If other nations offer help, we will
gratefully accept it," said the Servian
premier, "but fighting as we are for
our own liberty, we feel entitled to the
sympathy and moral support of all
fair minded nations such as | know
the United States incontestably to be.
"Our entire male population, now
gathered together, will die to The last

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Passengers

the American flag for nearly "a hours

The flag was hoisted following the
receipt of a wireless message. They
did not know whether it was from
the admiralty or line officials.
1t was on January 81 that the Ger
man submarines sank three British
merchantmen in the Irish sea. Mem

sengers that the captain was warned
of the presence Of submarines and
was ordered TO protect his ship by ev-
cry means. The Cunard line officials
denied the Orduna substituted the

REVIEW
BY HAL SHERIDAN

NEW YORK, Feb. 10-Unless some
of the magnates in the National
league get chilly feet and start re-
trenchment policy at this late hour
the old circuit is going to get away
from the pole in the pennant fight
this year with less shake-ups in the
managerial department than it has
for several years.
Only two new shippers are noticed
collecting their cohorts for the south
land trip this season. Pat Moran has
taken the place of sorrel-topped Char
ley Doom at welding the batch over
the Phunny Phils, and Rajah Bresna-
han, the portly ex-director of the
Cards, is going to take whirl at the
Cubs.
Rajah is no stranger to the Ma
tional league strategists, if there be
such things. His methods were pretty
well noised around when he was serv-
ing St Louis sentence and also
while he was with the Cubs last year.
Moran is somewhat of an unknown
quality. But looking over the nucleus
he has to start with, it doesn't ap-
pear as though he were going to put
many straws in the paths of George
Stallings, Jawn McGraw and the rest
of the crew. The Phils' two main
stays with the stick, Sherwood Magee
and Hans Lobert, have been let go
in trades to Boston and New York.
His pitching staff from this early
viewpoint doesn't look calculated to
make the other managers green with
envy, especially when it is consider
ed what backed it up. Grover Cleve-
land Alexandra is, of course, the real
noise. Rixey and Mayer should prove
good men; Demaree is rather an un-
known quality.
Bresnahan is more fortunate. He
is taking the field with practically the
same crowd he worked with last year
and one that on paper should be a
contender all the way. Pierce, Law
ender, Vaughn and Cheney with sew
eral others make a pitching staff that
can't be sneezed at and the batting
and fielding strength is back Of it.
