Invaders Narrowing The Gap
Through Which ScrbianS

AUSTRIANS GUARDING FLANK
AnglO-French Fleet Resumes
BOmbardment of Bulgarian
Ports on Aegean Sea.

London, Nov. 1.-The Serbian
fortress Of Pirot, described as the
key to Nish, is in the hands of the
Bulgarians, while the Austro-G
mans from the north are endeavor-
ing to form ring around Graguye-
vatz, where the Serbian arsenal is
situated.
The Austrians are attacking Mon
tenegro to remove, if possible, the
danger of an enemy army on their
flank.
The Anglo French troops are firm
ly establishing themselves along the
southern end of the Nish railway,
and crossing into Bulgaria, have oc-
cupied the hills surrounding Strum-
itza, although the capture of that
town, which has been reported, is
not officially confirmed.
The allied fleets, too, have again
bombarded the Bulgarian towns on
the Aegean sea. -
Reports continue to circulate,
chiefly from German sources, of a
Russian army which is to march
across Rumania to the rescue. But
of the British and French reinforce
ments no news has been received.
Italy already has undertaken a
general offensive, and there is talk
of another offensive on the western
front. The Germans seem to have
anticipated this, as on Saturday
night they launched general attack
in Champagne over a front Of five
miles in an unsuccessful effort to re-
cover ground recently lost to the
French.
Despite the coming of winter,
there has been more activity on the
Russian front. True, there has been
a lul in the fighting in Courland,
where the Germans have apparently
failed to take Riga or Dvinsk or to
improve TO any marked degree their
position. 1t is believed that they
are preparing for another drive. 1t
must be made soon, as snow is al
ready falling, and the movement Of
heavy artillery is becoming more
difficult.

a Vote For Stanley And the Democratic Ticket Is a
i Vote To Endorse Woodrow Wilson Help Win
Democratic Victory To-day By 10000 Majority
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
An Outside View.

Tuesday the electors of Kentucky
will choose a governor and other
state officiaIs. There should be no
hesitancyin the minds of the vo'ers
as to their duty
Mr. Stanley, the democratic nomi-
nee. Is national figure. Ia his long
service:ia congress he. rose to be
ranked among statesmen Of the low
er house. He was a useful servant to
his country and he added luster to
his native state which has sent so
many illustrious men to the national
councils. The election of Stanles to
.the governorship will make Ken
xz6eky once sgain prominent in the
public eye.
But the choice OF Stanley is more
than matter of state pride; it is 8
duty. No man could be chosen as
chief executive cf the commonwealth
who is better trained or better equip
ped in the art of statecrsft. Wi b
!, his breadth of view. his keen grasp
of large and intricate affairs. he is
brilliantly endowed to initiate a CON-
prehensive policy for the state to
pursue. Wi h his ready and con-
vincing eloquence, he is able to car
ry away any opposition Oh the swirl
tide of his enthusiastic presentation
of his cause.
Mr.. Stanley is his own platform
the party Of the state
has enunciated a program with which
he is in hea-ty sympathy and which
eiiclts bis earnest support. The
platform on which be stands is one
-stf the most comprehensive and pro.
gressive ever offered 10 the democ-
racy of the sfa'e. Its successful car
rying out will mesn rev era OF
growth and development and pros

To Campaign Charges Published
Recently in The Louisville
Herald
THAT HE ADVISED DISORDER
The Closing Rally in Louisville
Was a Great Success
in All Ways.

The Democratic campaign in
Louisville was brought to a close at
a monster rally staged at the Mason
ic theater Saturday night.
Besides A. 0. Stanley, nominee for
governor, others to speak were Unit
ed States Senators Ollie James of
Kentucky, and j. Ham Lewis, of Illi-
nois, and Congressman Heflin of AL
ALBANIA.
A plea for the endorsement of the
Wilson administration through vot-
ing for Stanley was voiced by the
distinguished visitors. Stanley re-.
piled to charges published in the Re.
publican press.
AS a result Of the efforts of these
campaIgners it is asserted the De
mocracy of the state is solidly lined
up for the battle of the ballots today
and that, although confidence is pre-
dominant, there will be rolled up g
majority for Stanley and the rest OF
the ticket of between 81, 900 and As
loco.
Importance is attached to Stanley S
statement delivered at Cynthiana,
repudiating the charge made by op.
posing interests that he had melted
the tobacco men to disorder and law
lessness in 1908.
Stanley went minutely into the
story of the events surrounding the
charges, and gave the lie direct to
Augustus Wilson and E. A. Jonas,
former owner of a Henderson paper,
and now on the Louisville Herald,
saying:

Stanley called on his audience,
which numbered 1000 to raise its
hands to show who was present at
that meeting Hundreds of hands
went up.
