LONDON HEARS
. BAD SERBIAN NEWS
Rumor Comes That Bulgarians Have
Taken Monastir-Cuts Serbian
Communications
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
LONDON. Eng. Ncv. "A mess
age which comes through Athens ex.
presses the fear that the Bulgarians
have captured Monastir. This is a
Serbian city of Importance, situated
near the Greek and Albanian borders,
and is the keynote TO the Serbian lines
of communication from the south. II
Is feared that the Serbian resources
from the south may be cut off. and
that their main army may be thus
divided into two parts.
II is regarded in Athens that the
Serbian situation is so critical. that
the Serbians may retreat into Mon
temecro, Albania. where they may be
able to gather the scattered and de.
feated remnants of their armies to.
gether and to receive he-inforcements
and provisions from the Adriatic.
which the allies command.
If the reports from Berlin are true.
there may be new hope TO the stu.
alton. which looks quite desperate at
best. as the Berlin report claims that
arrived at Kavala. a Greek seaport
in the Aegean Sea, about eighty miles
west of Salonika, and within twenty
miles of the Bulgarian border.

ALLIES PLAN FOR
SERBIAN LIBERTY
Hint That Siege OF ConstantinopIe

Allies United
BY United Press.

LONDON. Nov. 2.-Asquitn, in the
house of commons today gave strong
hint that the allies may abandon the
Dardanelles operations. in behalf of
little Serbia, whose independence
seems TO be in jeopardy. The les
son OF Belgium has been impressed
nnnn them, and they do not wish
Serbia to suffer the loss of their free
dom as has been the case of Belgium,
by tie invasion of Germany. II was
practically admitted that the war de.
partment is considering the withdraw.
al from Gallipoli, in order to halt the
Austro.German rush to Constants
nople.
Asquith said I'VE cannot allow Ser.
bia TO become the prey to that SIMS.
ter, nefarious combination, Austria
Germany-Bulgaria. There is complete
harmony in the agreement between
the allies. in regard TO the ends to be
pursued in the Balkans. Serbia may
be assured that her independence is
regarded as an essential object by
the larger allies"

VILLAS FORCES ARE
BADLY DEFEATED
Yesterdays Battle Turns Against Vii
las Men-They are
Retreating
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 2.-The main
Villa army. which faced the Carranza
troops, fortified within the town of
Aqua Prieta, was badly whipped, and
this mornings sunrise. witnessed the
retreat of the villa army. which left
the battlefield, leaving 400 wounded
behind. The defense put up barbed
wire entanglements, which proved i'm.
possible for the Villa troops to sur
mount. Late in the afternoon, the
Villa artillery was moved forward,
carefully masked, but the barbed
wire resisted the efforts of the heav-
lest guns.
After the battle. the Villa troops
seemed to go rapidly TO pieces, and
separated, going into different parts of
the territory south Of Aqua Prieta.
After the retreat had begun, 1000
Yaquis Indians arrived to help the
Villa faction, but their arrival was too
late, and they could not stem the tide
which had turned and was following
backward. 1t is thought that this is
blow frim which Villa will never
recover, but there il chance that he
may gather his troops about him in
a last supreme effort and make an
other stand.
During today's lighting nine Ameri-
cans were wounded by stray bullets
which were fred across the border.
The American commanders made no
attempt to carry out the threat that
they would fire if the Mexicans fired
across the border. General Funston
arrived today and took person charge
of the American troops.
