London. Nov. f. 10.10 p. m.-Having checked the German offensive along the whole eastern front, except direct Iy west of Riga, where the nature Of the ground makes an advance difficult, the Russians have started counter offensive at three pointst-west of Dvinslz, on the Styr in Holhynia and on the Stripa river in Galicia. On the Stripa they claim to- have won big victory and to have captured 5000 prisoners, although admitting that the battle is still in progress. They claim successes also at other points.
 The Germans. on their side, assert that all the attacks have been re- pulsed with heavy losses to the Rus sians in killed, wounded and prisoners. Russians Capture Important Positions.
 From an unofficial source it is also reported that the Russians are advanc- ing in strong force and have captured important positions near Czernowitz- a mov ement calculated more than any thing else to influence Rumania.
 The Serbian Situation.
 The Serbians, who are making stand in the south where they are supported by the British and French, continue their retirement before the Austro-Germans and Bulgarians in the now within ten miles of Nish and are advancing northwestward from Uskup toward Pristinf Thus, besides being in danger of losing their capital. the Serbians are threatened with being cut off from the south and will have only one line of retreat 10 Montenegro. They are fighting severe rear guard actions nevertheless, and are leaving little or nothing behind for the in vaders.
 The fighting continues in the Cham pagne district of France, with the for tunes of war huctuating.
 italians Continue Offensive.
 While the Italians persist in their offensive, the Austrians claim that no progress has been made by their ad- versaries.
 Political Troubles in Greece.
 The defeat of the Greek government in the chamber of deputies and the consequent resignation of the Zaimis cabinet is the latest sensation afforded by the Balkans.
 While, of course, it was understood that Eleutheros Venizelos, the former premier, had it in his power to turn the government out whenever he so desired. having the majority in the chamber at his back, the fall of Zaimis came unexpectedly, as it was believed that the leader of the majority had decided to accord the premier suffi- cient support to enable him to remain in office for the present at least.
 As so often happens, however, a vote of confidence was demanded by the government on matter of minor importanee-some difference of opin- ion between M. Venizelos and the min isters of war, General Yanakitsas, on military proposals-and the govern ment was defeated by a vote of 147 to 114
 Puts It Up to King Constantine.
 By handing the resignation of his 1oh fn NE 1a; again places on the king the respon- sibility of deciding the future policy of his country. In London the first impression was that the defeat of the government would mean the immedi- ate recall of M. Venizelos and the full hllment of the original agreement be- tween him and the allied powers to go so the assistance of Serbia.

BROADENING USE OF
 EXECUTIVE POWER
As Exercised by Roosevelt Termed
 Unsafe by Former President Taft.

New York, Nov. 4.-Broadening the use CT executive power as exercised by former President Theodore Roosevelt was termed unsafe doctrine" by for mer President William H. Taft in an address here tonight. He was speak ing on the subject of ."The Presidency, Its Power. Duties. Responsibilities and Limitations" when he uttered the crit icism of certain acts of his predecessor in the White House.
 MT. Roosevelt" he said, 'in his notes for a possible autobiography, says in regard to certain acts of his administration: T did not usurp pow CT, but I did greatly broaden the use of the executive power
 My own judgment is that this is an unsafe doctrine and that it might lead to irIemediable injustice to private rights. The handspring of such view IS that the executive is to play the part of a universal providence and set all things right. The president is not an onlnipotent and benevolent prophet.
 Mir Roosevelt followed this princi- pie in settling the Pennsylvania an- thracitC strike, and no one has a high CT admiration of the value of what he did than I have. Had he failed in arbitration, however MT. Roosevelt proposed to use the army to seize pri- vate property. The benevo1ence of his purpose no one can deny. But from 8 standpoint of a government of law it could only be regarded as lawless."
