The presence Of the allies at Saloni-

preceded by various other agreements

COMMITTEE Will
MEET IN CHICAGO
AT this Meeting Time and
Place will be Fixed for
National Convention.

New, York, Nov. sO.-A call for the
national committee of the progressive
party to meet in Chicago on January
II, 1915, to fix the time and place for
the national convention, was issued by
the executive committee of the pro-
gressive national committee at a
meeting here yesterday. After the con-
ference the following statement was
given out:
State issues which have complicat-
ed elections during the past three
years are now a thing of the past. The
next election is a national one. It was
on national issues that the progressive
party was born. and poiled its greatest
vote. The national issues of 1915 will
inevitably embody the latest features
OF the progressive national platform
Of 1912. Believing that the great pro-
gressive Independent vote Of the coun-
try is just as firmly committed to these
principles as it was in 1912, the pro-
gressives throughout the country are
insistent on maintaining the organiza-
ton Of the progressive party with all
the vigor possible. Therefore, the ma
tional committee Of the progressive
party is hereby called to meet. in Chi
cago on January II; 1916, for the pur-
pose Of fixing the time and place. OF
holding the national convention of
the progressive party and to select
candidates for the presidency and the
vice presidency of the United States
and to adopt; a national platform

English See Bid for Separate
Peace Between Austria
and Italy.

London. Nov. 30.-The Pail Mall
Gazette associates Emperor Williams
visit to Vienna with reports that Ger
many is willing to enter upon peace
negotiations, and ventures the opinion
that, as already suggested, the en-
peror's trip to the Austrian capital
may represent an attempt to bring
about the conclusion of separate
peace between Austria and Italy. It
says:
Some features Of Italy's attitude
may lend encouragement to such an
enterprise. The government at Rome,
for reasons, never disclosed, has re-
Trained from declaring war on Ger
many, and has shown no particular
eagerness to cooperate with the allies
in restoring the situation in the Bal
kans. If it is believed in Berlin that
Italy can definitely be secured by a
liberal surrender Of territory where
she claims a nation interest, great
pressure may be employed at Vienna
to bring about such a sacrifice, and
thus liberate Austrian troops for other
regions"

GERMAN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT SERB

DEFENDERS STILL MAINTAIN FORCE
Principal Object of Serb Invasion, Destruction of Her
Armies Not Completed-Action Against the
French and British is Delayed
London. Nov. 80. - Monastir,

London, Nov. so. - Monas stir, in
southwestern Serbia, has been evacu-
ated, Serbian troops having accom-
plished their purpose of delaying
their enemies advance until the civil
population Of the town had time to
escape, and have now left the city.
According to reports they are retiring
IN good order.
Bulgarian occupation of the town
apparently is a matter of only a few
hours.
Main Purpose Unrealized.
Though the Austro-G German and
Bulgarian campaign against Serbia Is
described by the central powers as
finished, and though practically the
whole of Serbia is in their possession,
they have not accomplished, accord1-
ing to general belief here, the more
important aim of entirely crushing
the Serbian army.
Still Maintain Force.
Though defeated and worn out in
the conflict against overwhelming
odds. the Serbian forces are said to be
still unbroken and undemoralized and
are reported to be reorganizing their
shattered units on the Albanian and
Montenegrin frontiers, and preparing
to fresh action.
Delay in New Move.
Either bitter winter weather has re-
tarded the central powers in their
proposed new enterprise against the
French-B British troops In the strum-
lisa region. or the rapidly develop
ing Russian menace from the direc-
ton OF Rumania has ,caused them to

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 30.-In Mrs.

general of the United Daughters of

proposed that the regular line officers

which they will shortly outline.
The election took place at the re-
cent general convention Of the Daugh-
ters at San Francisco, Cal, which con-
vention, in spite of its long distance
from the center of Confederate and
southern activities. is successful the
