Berlin, Germany (via London), Oct.
29.-Direct connection between the
Austro-German forces in Serbia and
the Bulgarian army of General Boyad-
JEFF has been established on the Dan
ube river east of Braza Palanka, &C.
cording to the official announcement
given out on Wednesday by the Ger
man army headquarters staff. The
statement follows:
"Dobrin, east of Visegrad (Bosnia)
has been taken.
THE armies of General Won Koevess
and General Won Gallwitz have driven
back the enemy wherever he has made
stand.
las regards the main forces, the
general line of Valyevos-M orawos Con
the Ljig) Docola has been reached.
East of this line, the Jasenica and
Raca have been crossed on both sides
of Svilajacrenava. In the PEEK valley
Neresnika has been taken.
Forces advancing east Of Orsova
captured twelve heavy cannon near
Kladowo.
cat Ljugicevac, on the Danube east
of Bra Pa1anka, direct connection
with the army of General Boyadjieff
(the Bulgarian commander) has been
established by patrols. The right wing
of this army is pursuing the enemy
from Negotin northeast to southwest
Fighting continues for possession OF
Knjazezac."
The junction of the Austro-German
armies with the Bulgarian troops was
made in the extreme northeastern cor
ner of Serbia.
All dispatches to London continue
to describe the intensely stubborn re-
sistance of the Serbians. According
to accounts received here concerning
the capture of Uskub, the Serbians
defended every foot of ground furious
ly and no quarter was given on either
side. Although the Bulgarian forces
are said to have outnumbered the
Serbians ten to one, they made only
500 prisoners. All the others fought
to the death
Reports from Constantinople say
that so far the allies have landed 3d.
600 troops at Saloniki including 49,
600 British Twelve thousand soldiers
have been sent by rail to Majdag while
5000 are proceeding on foot The rail-
road cannot carry more than $4,000
a week. The progress of the German
Austrian invasion is now so great that
all hope the Serbians may have had
of a halt while they are waiting for
the allies to arrive must be gone. The
invaders have driven the Serbians
from their most important positions,
especially those that were fortified
and intrenched during the spring and
summer. The best allies of the Ser
bians now are the weather and the
mountainous character of their coun-
try.

ENTIRE FRENCH
MINISTRY RESIGNS
VViani Cabinet Falls When Pre-
mier Steps Out.
M. BRAND AS NEW LEADER
General Gallieni, Military Governor of
Paris, to Be Minister of War
Shake-Up Attributed to Gov
ernment's Balkan Policy.

Paris, Oct. 2S.-Premier Rene Vivi.
ami of France resigned and his resig-
nation was followed by the collapse
of the entire cabinet.
Aristide BRAND, a socialist, was Of
fered the premiership by President
Poincare, and Immediately took steps
to form a new cabinet.
The resignation of Premier Viviani
is attributed to the Balkan crisis. His
was the second retirement from the
cabinet for the same reason, the first
being that of Foreign Minister Theo-
phile Delcasse, who resigned on Oc-
tOber IA
M. BRAND offered the portfolio &C
minister of war to General Gallieni,
military governor of Paris.
Emile Combes was offered a place
in the new government without a port
folio.
Deputy Paul Painleve, president of
the marine committee of the chamber
Of deputies, M. de FTeycinet, Leon
Bourgeois and Emile Combes were
summoned by NJ BRAND and offered
places in the new government
NJ. Combes, who was formerly prem
Ter of France, accepted place in the
government, but he will be without any
definite portfolio.
The post of minister of marine was
offered to NJ. Lacaze.
According to official circles M vi
yiani resigned rather than reorganize
the government.
Since the retirement of M. Del
casse, NJ. Viviani has been handling
the duties Of the foreign Office as we'll
as those of the primate His resigna-
tlon left the government without a
guiding head at critical time.
CONSERVATION was caused in French
political circles by the resignation of
the Premier. 1t was outward evil
dence of dissension in the French gov
eminent over affairs in the near East,
similar to that which has been pre-
vailing in the British cabinet.
For the last fortnight it has been
evident that all was not well in the
ministry. The first break was the
resignation of the foreign minister.
However, when the chamber of depu-
ties gave the cabinet a vote of conf
dence it was hoped that the factions
in the ministry would get together and
patch up their differences. These
hopes proved futile.
The opposition is criticizing the gov
eminent for allowing the Teutonic
powers to gain such ascendancy in
the near East and to launch military
operations on a grand scale when
they might have been prevented.
French diplomacy is under fire, as
we'll as the military policy of the gov
eminent.
The Viviani ministry was formed on
August 26, 1914, shortly after the out
break of the war. Previous to the
formation of that government M.
Viviani had headed a previous cab
met. NJ. Viviani has been prominent
in French politics for many years, and
was formerly minister of instruction.
He is fifty-three years old and is a
native of Algiers.

of wreckage. The close fight during
the last half century between guns
and arnor has been decided, probably
conclusively, by the recent results in
favor Of the gun. - v
This is not the proper time to fur
nish further details; suffice it to say
that this result is due to the 42-centi-
meter mortar whose bore is twice as
large as that of the largest caliber
gun Of the land artillery. This step
is most interesting and shows great
courage. In the line of naval artillery
the Krupp firm first constructed "a
centimeter guns, then %, 30.5, 1886.
1871, and finally 40.46 centimeter guns,
that is six different groups, and has
not even reached the 42.centimeter
caliber.' The gifted engineers Of the
Krupp works, who worked out the
plans of the world wonder and then
actually constructed 1t, are entitled to
the thanks Of the fatherland.
Without these guns, streams Of
blood would have had to flow-as In
the case Of Port Arthur-before the
doors of the two forts would have
been opened. What valuable time

ergetically conducted war-has been
