SERBIA FIGHTING

RAMS ON THE EAST, DEAL
HEAVY BLOWS.
GREECE REMAINS NEUTRAL
Premier zaImis Indicates That His
Country VIII Ignore the Treaty
Russia Enters Balkans-AlIies
Press Offensive in West.

London, Oct. 13.-Serbia is now be-
ing attacked from the north and the
east. The Austro-Germans, after their
capture of Belgrade and Semendria,
are advancing southwark, while the
Bulgarians have sent forces ia endeav-
or to interrupt communications north
and south of Nish, the war time cap
ital of Serbia, and attack the Serbs
on the flank if they are driven back
by the German field marshal, Won
Mackensen.
The situation is admitted to be Sc
rious, not only for Serbia, but for the
whole allied cause. 1t is asserted that
the Serbians are inflicting very heavy
losses both on the Austro-Germans
and Bulgarians, but with their army
of about 250,000 men they are believed
to have little chance of making any
prolonged resistance against 100000
to 100000 Austro-Germans, and prob
ably 100000 Bulgars. They already
are arranging for the transfer of the
capital to Monastir, in the extreme
| southwestern corner OF the kingdom.
Greece apparently has decided to ig-
more the treaty under which she is
supposed to go to the assistance of her
Serbian ally in case Of an attack,
Premier Zaimis having said when Of
ficially notified of the Bulgarian at
tack that Greece remains in a po-
sition of armed neutrality"
The followers of the quadruple en-
tente, however, have decided to take
energetic action. AS soon as the news
came that the Bulgarian minister here
was handed his passports, M. VIVIAN
the French prime minister, in the
chamber of deputies today declared
that France, England and Russia had
decided to take joint action, and that
tomorrow Russian troops will be
fighting by the side of ours"

CARLOTTA

Carlotta was little Italian girl, her
mother was dead and she lived with
her stepmother. Her father had
hurdy-surdy, and every day he took
Carlotts with him to take the pennies,
for the hurdy-gurdy was old and not
in good tune. but Carlotta's bright
eyes and the curls got them many pen
MES, for she wac very pretty when she
smiled.
But Carlotta was not happy; she
wanted yellow straw hat with red
roses on it, like Angela Bcppl's. She
did not want to wear the gsy-colored
scarf. But her father Tony said mol"
and that was the cause of Carlotta's
unhappiness.
She danced and played the tam
BOURNE, and one morning when she
went into store to collect pennies a
gentleman gave her a nickel because
she smiled 80 sweetly. Carlotta slipped
1t into her pocket. and she smiled
many times the next two weeks, for
she was taking all the pennies she
could when Tony's eyes were hall
closed, and when she had enough
money she went to the little shop
around the corner and bought the hat
with red hoses.
She hid 1t in her bed, which was
in the corner of dark room, and
the next Sunday she slyly took 1t out
and when she went to the park, pinned
it under her skirt, which was full and

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
GETTING BRIGHTER
Short Review of Trade During Past
Few Months Shows I'M
provement.

Revival in trade and industry is an
actuality, rather than an anticipated
development at the present time. The
public is buying more merchandise,
following a long period Of conserva-
tism in this respect
While part of this Improvement is
to be attributed to the natural devel-
opments incident to the advent of the
fall trading season, and the approach
of the holidays, there is much more
than the usual transition to afford
encouragement to the belief that
business and industry has struck the
upgrade in this country. The abun-
dance of our staple productions is a
factor that stands over against the
prospect of want. The United States
has added to it's material wealth in
larger measure than in any period OF
its history. We are meeting excep-
tional demands for supplying the de-
ficiency in output from nations whose
activities have been demoralized by
war. Our exports have expanded to
new record marks, and the balance
of trade in our favor is being accen-
tuated enormously. We are loaning
England and France an enormous
sum of money, but it will be utilized
to buy the products of our farms aid
factories-to help make business bet
ter. We are rapidly wiping out our
debts abroad, keeping future interest
disbursements at home, and at the
same time augmenting our actual
stock of money.
These are conditions that make for
good times. The pendulum is swing
ing in that direction. The enlarging
volume of business is making demand
for increased facilities. Already many
branches of industry have increased
their productive capacity. The influ-
ence is extending to others. The
railroads are being called upon to
transport more freight. They are
compelled to build more cars and i'm
prove their trackage to meet the con-
ditions. With iron and steel at high
prices, larger requisition will be made
for lumber for construction purposes.
Our mills are commencing to feel the
effects of this condition. There is a
gradual Improvement in demands, and
indications of a slight Improvement in
prices. The depression in lumber is
the single element that is holding the
Pacific Northwest from a marked and
sustained trade expansion. General
prosperity throughout the country is
destined to be reflected in this sec
ton That condition is now becom
ing pronounced. There is apparently
good reason for continued optimism
and the fact that we are realizing
upon our expectations in this direc
ton, is one of the best reasons fol
increased confidence in the future.

MANY THOUSAND BOY SCOUTS
Shown by Recent Census-Every
state Has Representation.

A recent census of the Boy Scouts
shows membership OF moro than
100000. There are $1,000 in New York,
1900 in Pennsylvania. Ohio, New
Jersey and Illinois have more than
5000 each. There II no state without
a representation. Even Alaska can
boast 80 Scouts. Hawaii has 40 and
Porto Rico 1876.
1t was only this last winter that
the Boy Scout movement could cele-
brate its fifth birthday. To acquire
strength in excess Of 100000 in
five years speaks for the popularity
of Scouting. 1t speaks also for its
intrinsic worth. II 1t we're merely a
sport the movement might prove but
a flash in the pan. 1t would enjoy its
little hour of prominence and disap-
pear. But the Boy Scout movement
is destined to a long career. Some
day there may be fewer boys out Of
the Scout uniform than there are in it..

night
When Tony called Carlotta to go
with him the next morning she did
not answer. He waited two weeks
thinking she would come back, then
he went to the police. They told him
where she was, and ono night Tony
went to the theater. Ills eyes opened
wide when he saw Carlotta dance
and heard the people applaud, and he
was so angry when he thought she
might be making money for him that
he stood up, and, shaking his clinched
hand at her, called out: You comma

out and poor Carlotta ned from the
stage, The girl with whom she had

was making great deal OF money

and knocked at the door. Her STEP
mother opened 1t. 81 have come to

came in. He looked at Carlotta. for
she had pretty hat with red roses
on It, but he did not speak to her.
Father. l havo brought you money
for a new hurdy-gurdy," she said
handing him roll of bills. This
loosened his tongue. and he thanked
her and asked her what she was do
ing.

and an Italian girl at that age is quite
woman.
My how proud Carlotta felt when at
length she put the hat on. She tossed
her head, making her curls fly about,
her head very high.
But pride often takes a fall, and so
1t was with Carlotta.
A thunderstorm came up very sud-
denly, and there was no place to shell
ter the beloved hat She put it I'M
der her skirt, but the red from the
roses stained it and she had to un-
cover it.
When the shower was over the hat
was a sorry sight, but she wore 1t

pinned under her skirt. for she
thought II she put 1t on while she was
out she could say it was given to
her.
The first place thev stopped was il.
front of house where there we're q
number of children. Tony told Carlot
ia to dance, and while she was dane
ing down dropped the hat.
The children laughed and shouted:
'She has stolen hiatt She has stolen
hatl" Carlotta picked it up and
put it on her head
"W'er you getta da hat?" said Tony
very angry. Carlotta told him the
| hat had been given her, but Tony
would not have her wear tt hat, nc
matter where it came from.
He took it and tore it in pieces
Poor Carlottal Her smiles were few
that dav, and at night Tony beat hel
for spelling his day.
Later when Tony and his wife were
| out of the way, Carlotta slipped out
and went to theater where she had
seen dancing.
She walked up to the man at the
box Office and asked if they wanted
4 dancing girl. The man took her in

The orchestra was playing out in

How much do you want?" asked
