Serbian Position

The Serbian army, under Gen. Put
nik which is operating n the North,
is now encompassed or every side but
one and, being cut off from the South
by the Bulgarian advance beyond
1etovo. must depend upon the rough
reads through Montenegro and Alba
MIA for any supplies from the sea.
From the South the Serbian position
is almost as bad Success Of the Bull
sarians' thanking attack on Bahuna
pass and their advance from Teles
have prevented the hoped-for junction
Of the Serbian and French forces. This
Leaves the Serbians only TWO lines of
retreat, one into Albania, where they
may ne harrassed by unfriendly tribes,
and the other across the Greek border
where they are in danger of being dis
armed and informed II is to prevent
the latter eventually that the Entente
Powers are putting forth every effor
and unquestionably this matter has
been discussed in Paris by the British
and French ministers.
Embargo on Greek Vessels
The British government has taken
further action by the issuance of an
order that no Greek vessel, except
those loaded or unloading, may pro-
coed TO their destination; while Denys

net, who was given an enthusiastic re-

to express very firmly the French view

DRY reply Of Greece TO the Entente
Powers request for the safe conduct
of both Serbian and allied forces
should they be compelled to retire into
Greece.
Lord Kitchener, the British war sec
rotary. who, il has been stated, was to

lipoli, although according to rumor King
Constantine expressed a wish TO see him.
Like Italy and France, England now
demands that Greece shall either Join
the Allies or translate her benevolent
neutrality towards the Entente into a
clear declaration that she will not at

the Allies should they be forced back over
her frontier, and that she will afford
further facilities for the landing and
transport of allied troops.
There are no changes on the French,
italian or Russian fronts, but the pres
ence of Russian warships on the coast Of
Courland, where they have been bonl-
harding the German positions, suggests
that Gen. RuZky has not concluded the
offensive which he undertook west of
Riga.

Of Portland, One of Leading Speakers

bunk today with y delegates present
Resolutions were passed congratulating
the women Of the country on their SPLEEN
did campaign for equal suffrage urging
the bringing Of Maine into line as the
first state in the East; rejoicing in Den
marks granting equal suffrage regret
ting the declination of c. S. stetson TO
run again for master Of the State
Grange; deprecating preparedness TO,
war, but advocating it for protection and
the promotion of world peace.
Officers Elected
The following officers were elected.
President, Mrs. Helen Bates, Portland
vice president at large, Mrs. Hannah J.
Bailey, Winthrop; vice president, Mrs L.
r. Rounds, Portland: recording secretary,
Mrs. Gladys Chapman. Portland; CORE
spending secretary, Mrs Margaret wor-
cester. Portland; treasurer, Mrs. Sarah
Anthoine, Portland.
President s Address
In her address. as president, Miss
Helen N. Bates Of Portland sounded
note of optimism which betrayed no
tremor Of doubt as TO the ultimate
outcome Of equal suffrage in Maine.
Her remarks were as follows:
Miss Bates Address.
To the unthinkine observer, the fact
that four eastern states turned suffrage
down this fall, seemed almost death
blow TO the cause in this part of the
country. Suffragists are wiser and re-
gard the favorable vote Of more than a
million men q wonderful triumph, as
none Of those states had ever voted OF
the question before.
The Springfield Republican says of the
results of the elections:
1T is the deadly persistence of the
cause that InSures II against any kind
Of disbursement. Defeats for 50 years
past have failed TO suppress il and the
latest defeats, or series of defeats, in
several Eastern states, can have no eff
feet whatever in killing the movement
The women who furnish the main mo-
tive power OF agitation are everywhere
filed with a conviction, akin to religious
fervor, that they must achieve for their
sex higher status in the great common
wealth of democracy. Nothing can pre-
vent their success in the end. unless
democracy is doomed 10 failure. If wom-
en- can never be given a fair share in
government, then government by the peo-
pie must be regarded as founded on a
fa1lacy, and the sooner that partial gov
eminent by the people which we now
have is discarded the less will be the
loss TO society in efficiency of adrnfnistra-
ton in future generations
Unbiased politicians have spoken Of
