SERVIAN ARMY
 IS YET INTACT
Allies Hope to Turn Tables Austro- German Forces Ad vancng From Nish-New British Division Land Under
 Sir Charles Monro and Encounter Bulgarians

A new British division having land- ed, the force which is to be under com mand of Gen. Sir Charles Carmichael Monro is spreading out toward Stru- mitsa, where encounters with Bulgar- ian patrols are reported.
 With the arrival of Field Marshal Earl Kitchener who should soon be on the scene, a furtlfer development in the campaign is expected, and it is possible that the Gallipoli army will, become more active.
 So long as the Servian army remains intact, which it has done thus far, mill itary men here feel that there is a good chance to turn the tables on the Germans and their allies. The Teutons. the military observers say, can hardly send further endorsements for the near eastern adventure. their line dangerously thin,t as is evidenced by the Russisn successes both in the north anrfzthe souths .5
 The Germans admit that they with z drew troops from ground west of Riga whic hthey gained only few weeks ago at considerable sacrifice. and that the Russian fleet in the Gulf of Riga is supporting the Russian army. By their recent gains the Russians have established a connection between theft forces on the Gulf of Riga by way of Kemmern and Lake Babit to Olaf. which is half way between Riga and Mitau

London, November 11.-No material change in the situation either in Servia or on the other fronts has occurred in the last 24 hours. The Austro-Germans claim. to be advancing along the line west of Nsh, but beyond ,he report of the capture of another 4o0O prisoners which the Servans say were largely civilians or Albanian or Macedonian troops, who sur render easily the official reports of the invaders do not record the capture of any town.
 In fact. the Servians are facing the in- vaders in the mountains, which have proved protection to them in their pre- vious wars. and they may be expected to make the advance of the Austro-G Germans and Bulgarians difficult It also is prob able that the opposition the Austriane are meeting in their efforts to drive back the Monteneerins Is delaying Field Mar shal von Mackensen's army, for the right wing must be free from this menace be- fore they proceed with their drive.
 The news from the southern part of the country is very conflicting. It is now known that the French did not reoccupy but simply made cavalry raid into the town of Veles. destroying the Bulgarian are advancing on the west side of the Nardar river, and at the same time are repelling Bulgarian attacks on KrivolaS and endeavoring to fern a junction with the Servans, who are fighting in the Ba- buna pass.

Washington. November 11,-An unof- fcial hydroaeroplane record of l1,000 feet, made by Lieutenant Saurley at the Pensa- cola naval aviation station, was an- nounced today by the navy department. Because the needle of the recording ma chine ran off the sheet at the 9000-foot mark the record cannot be recognized as official. The flying boat climbed at the rate of $50 feet a minute.
 Rear Admiral Denson. chief of opera ticns. has returned to Washington after spending two days at the Pensacola sta : ton and witnessing the successful testing of a new launching device installed on the aeroship North Carolina. Of this test the departments summary of activities at the station during the past week says:
 The first successful flight of an aero plane from a deck of ship while under way demonstrated tile actual conditions of dispatching an aerial scout from a cruiser at sea in war. No one single event in the development of aeronautics in the navy has been of such importance as this flight"
 During the week successful mb-drop- ping experiments were made with paper target erected on Santa Rosa Island, off Pensacola.

ROEBLING ROPE MILL
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Half Million Dollars Damage When Mill Burns at Trenton--Incendiary
 Origin Denied

Trenton, N. J.. November l1.-Fire that started early today and burned fiercely for more than two hours, completely de- stroyed one of the rope shops of the John A. Roeblings Sons company, causing a loss estimated at $500,0GO.
 During the fire a row of frame build ings on Clark street and running back to the burned structure, caught fire and was in danger of destruction. The occupants were compelled to move out, many wear ing only their night clothing.
 There were rumors that the fire was of incendiary origin. due to the belief that the company was engaged in making war material. Officials discredit this theory. Rebuilding of the destroyed shop is ex- pected to be started immediately.
 In recent years the Roebling company has sustained heavy fire losses. the larg- est of which occurred last January, when their Buckthorn plant was completely de- stroyed with loss of s1,500,0OO0.

CITY CONSIDERS
MAKINGNEW BID
ON Fairgrounds

Overtures towards the purchase by
the city Of Fairgrounds now owned by
the Bernice Bishop estate were made
at last nights meeting of the board
of supervisors. The estate had asked
sos, $40 for three Fairgrounds, and at
last nights session the parks commit
tee of the board recommended that
$4,000 be offered and that the pur-
chase at that figure be made.
Supervisor Arnold, member of the
committee, did not concur in the re-
port SO far as the Beretania street
playground is concerned
II favor purchasing the other play
grounds" he said, but the Beretania
street grounds are valuable and the
estate could not afford to sell them
at less than the price asked by the
city, little more than $780, 600. My fea-
sons for not wanting to include these
Fairgrounds in the purchase are, first;
that they are two blocks only from
Aala park; and second, that would
rather see a few thousand dollars
spent in purchasing the adjoining
property to Aala park and have the
Fairgrounds put there where there is
lots of fresh air. The Beretania
street Fairgrounds are surrounded by
tenements and therefore would not be
as healthful for children as Aala
park.
The park committee recommended
that the purchase be accomplished as
follows: Ten per cent down.. 10 per
cent in 1916, and 10 per cent in the
first half of 1917 The remainder, or
20 per cent would be provided by the
next board of supervisors. The pro-
position was postponed until later
meeting,
Supervisor Single introduced a
resolution to appropriate $500 for the
parking of Kalakaua avenue from Ka-
liza road to Makee island and also a
resolution to appropriate $4,000 to
build sidewalks and curling in front
of the city's property in the fire
limits. -
