WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASS0~
GATED PRESS.

New York, Nov. 10.-Special: Still
driving the Serbians before them, the
Austro-Germans have captured Kruz-
vac, on the railway northwest of
Nish, and reached Ivanjica, twenty
eve miles southeast of Kralcvo.
Nothing has come, though. of late
concerning the fighting in the south
of Serbia, where the British and
French forces are said to have effect
ed a junction with the Serbs, and for
several days have been giving battle
to the B~ulgarians.
For the moment the western zone
of France and Belgium affords no in
cidents OF note. Artillery duels pre-
dominate, with here and there some
hand to hand encounters In the
trenches.
In the eastern one the Russians
have returned to the offensive
against the Germans at several points
in northwestern Russia and on the
central section of the long battle line.
Berlin asserts that south of Riga,
along the Dvina river, the Russians
were repulsed with heavy casualties,
and that 10 the north of Czartorysk,
a Russian attack was unsuccessful.
A repulse of the Italians on the
Doberdo plateau and the capture by
King Victor Emmanuel's men of the
summit of the Col di Lana. from
which, however, they later were driv-
en- out, are recorded by Vienna.
There has again been considerable
submarine activity. A British sub
marine has sunk the German cruiser
Undine, off the coast OF Sweden,
| while two German submarines have
sunk the British armed merchant
man Tara in the eastern Mediterra-
mean.
In addition, the British steamers.
Buresk, Glenmore and Woolwich and
the steamer Bigit. which was either
of Swedish or Norwegian national
ity, have been sunk by German un-
derwater boats. The crews of all the
steamers were saved. There was loss
of life on both the Undine and Tara.

Hayti-Good progress is being
made in the work OF erecting the new
Hamlin county courthouse in this
city. for which the voters last year
authorized the necessary issue of
bonds. The first story now is prac-
ticalIy completed.

with her two small boys, Mrs. Ernest
Scott was seized with an attack OF
heart failure and died without warn
ing. At the time her husband was

Bryant-Fire of unknown origin,
but which may have started from a
stove, totally destroyed the local
creamery. In less than ten minutes
after the fire broke out the building
was a mass of flames. III. A. Larson,
the owner, estimates the loss at $3,-
600. on which he had insurance of
$500.
Pierpont-The carelessness of a
hobo In setting fire to a straw stack
caused the destruction of a twenty
acre field of fine flax on the Andrew
Peterson farm nea P%ierpont. The
flames spread from the straw stack
to the flax. which was quickly de-
stroyed.
Enthusiastically r.. Greening, a
well known resident of Alban town

accident about 3 o'clock In the morn

dow, and Is supposed to have started
to get a drink of water when he
made a misstep aud fell.

In addition to improvements and

Colonel Townsley recommends that an
appropriation Of $350,OOO be made for
a new hotel on the government reser-
walton. TO take the place of the present
three bath" structure, which has the
distinction of being the oldest hotel in
the Hudson valley.
IF an increase OF the corps OF cadets
to 1000 or 1900 is authorized" Colonel
Townsley adds, this increase should
be gradual and distributed over a pc
Rod OF four years, so as not to have the
increase occur all in one class"
Colonel Townsley directs attention to
the fact that many candidates for ca
detships are rejected because of phys
ical defects, eighty of the 4S3 exam
ined the past year having failed. He
observes, however. that the physical
requirements are none too rigid for
