GERMANS TAKE
LAST OF TOWNS

LONDON, England, Nov. 30.
Not one important town in all
Serbia now remains in possession
of the people of that country. The
tide Of war has swept away every
garrison in any town of consider
able size and wherever the invad-
ers have gone, they have occupied
the countryside.
The Germans have taken Pri.
send, according to today's des-
patches. This is the last import
ant Serbian town in their path to
Bulgaria and Turkey.
Monastir, the principal town of
southern Serbia, which for some
time has been menaced by the
Bulgarians, has been evacuated
by the scanty Serb garrison which
held it. It's occupation by Bull
garian troops is now only mat
ter of hours.
The Teutons claim that the Ser,
bian campaign is completed, as
they hold practically all Serbia
with their allies, the Bulgarians.

said: Japan wants Korea as she
wants China, and to succeed In that
country you must feather the Japanese

NEW RULES FOR BAGGAGE
After June Persons Checking it Must
 Declare its Value.

Declare its Value.
 The New York, New Haven S5 Hart ford has just issued a circular addressed to its agents and station baggage masters covering new rules for checking bag gage, which went into effect June 2. These new baggage regulations have been made necessary by recent amend Inent to the Interstate Commerce Act. Hereafter persons checking baggage for interstate transportation will be re- quired to sign declaration of its value on form which the baggage master will provide.
 If the value declared is in excess of SiO0 for each full ticket passenger or $50 i'll the case of a child holding a half ticket charge of 10 cents for every $l00 over these amounts will be levied in consideration of the extra liability assumed. The new act makes it a misdemeanor to misrepresent the value of baggage or any interstate ship ment.
 It will not be necessary, however, for owners of baggage to sign these declara- tions in person. Baggage agents have been instructed to accept them from any person duly authorized to sign, such as valets, porters, buffers, drivers, etc.
 Beginning on June , the forms under the new baggage regulations required by the Interstate Commerce Act are on hand for the passengers to sign at every checking point on the New Haven Sys- tenn. Before an agent can forward bag gage that has not been checked the new law requires that he obtain d declara- tion of value and also collect any charges for excess value.
 The form which must be signed under the amendment reads:
 The N. Y. N. H. S5 H. R. R. Go.
 Only For
 Interstate Business
 Declaration of Value
 The value of the property represented by check numbered ............. (Numbers of checks to be filled in here.) Is S...
 Slgneu. ............ ..........

 CT. ........... ............. -. Number of Passengers. ............... Misrepresentation of value is a penal offence under the Interstate Commerce Act.
 A passenger is entitled to the free carriage of baggage not exceeding 150 lbs., in weight or $100 in value.
