Advices from Berlin indicate that
the report that Cardinal MERCER has
been interfered with has created
much excitement in Catholic circles.
German church dignitaries are said
to have called on the imperial chan
cellor and pointed GU to him that any
interference whatever with the move
ments or utterances of the Belgian
church head will be deeply resented
by the Catholics of Germany.
It is stated here that it was because
of these utterances that the disavow-
al of the arrest was ordered.

HEROIC RESISTANCE OFFERED BY SERBS
 ID TEUTON INVASION
Mackenzen's Troops Push Forward 15O,OOO Strong After Hard Fight With
 Native Soldiery

Saloniki, November 2.-(Via Paris)-Serv- ian resistance to the Austro-Ger- man drive is of the most heroic char acter according to travellers. While the only 150,OO0. they are supplied with such a tremendous weight of artillery that they are able to batter the very hills into shapeless masses with shells from their 12-inch mortars, and keep up con stant cloudburst of shrapnel. under which the Serbs are forced to retire slowly without even seeing their antagonists
 The native troops, experts in mouhtain fights, take advantage of every natural position of strength, forcing the Austro- Germans to dislodge them and giving no ground until compelled to do so. Ineir spirit is courageous, sAut desperate.
 The Journey from Nish to saloniki, the only practicable outlet to the sea, re- quires nine days. Every means of trans portation must be employed over the route to Pristina and Prisrend through Albania to Zebra and Monastir. AL Monastir firing can be heard and in the sky are reflected the flashes of the guns engaged in the battle near Prot

 French staff officers do not seem to re- gard the position of the Servian army as critical They declare that the retreat which is now being conducted gives the defending army greater liberty of action without imperilling it. In principle they contend the loss or gain of one town or another is unimportant unless the ground invaded happens to contain indispensable material resources. They maintain that the all-important thing is for the Serbs to continue their fight undisma yed, while the allies are increasing their forces, ex- tending their lines and limiting the field of Bulgarian action.

BERLIN VIEWS WITH
 ALARM THE GREC|AN
 CABINET SITUATION
No Attempt Made to Minim- ize Victory of Venizelos Over the Zailnis
 Ministry

Berlin, November 5.-(Via London, Noon 1.-The press of Berlin makes no attempt to minimize the victory Of former Premier Venizelos of Greece over the Zaimis ministry and asserts it brings sharper crisis in the af- fairs of Greece. An exception is the vossische zeitung. which declares the Grecian cabinet crisis 'is of no sig nificance in connection with the for eign policy
 The Tageblatt devotes column to comment on this situation. It says a new and grave political crisis has been created by the vote of the Chamber of Deputies and believes financial diff ficulties, or the chicanery practieed by the British fleet, may have been the cause.
 tBut the fact cannot be denied, it continues that majority of the chamber has taken the standpoint that it is better to go through thick and thin with the entente as it's true vassal and with its financial support according to the wishes of Venizelos and to entrust the nations future to
 
 a daring adventure, rather than to as sume the burden of temporary sacri- fees and hardships which the coun- try's persistence in it's neutrality would entail"
 The Tageblatt points out. however, that the decision as to the nations future course is dependent not on secret treaties of the opposition leader, but on the pro- visions of the constitution which give King Constantine free rein to appeal to the people. The King can adjourn the chamber for sometime. and then order new elections, following which there would be a delay of several weeks be- fore the assembling of the new chamber, During this long period the King would be able to place the nations affairs in the hands of men of his own choice. There is, no present reason. the Tageblatt con- cludes, to expect an immediate rever- sal of the policy of Greece.

MARGARET WILSON SPEAKSREGARD|NG
 MISUSE OF BALLOT
Proposes That School Build ings Be Used as Meeting Places for Citizens and
 as Voting Booths

Milwaukee, Wis, November 5.-Ariss Teachers convention here today that the majority of voters cast their ballots with "as little forethought as they give to buy ing suit, and proposed as a remedy the use of school buildings as meeting places for citizens and as voting booths and the employment of school principals as election clerks. She said the people should be organized according to the vot- ing precincts with the school buildings as their centers.
 Let us make the vote mean something -Aall of us-men and women together" said Miss Wilson. 'It is disgracefuI the way the majority of voters vote I am told that when a man gets a suit he gets what the tailor tells him to wear. That is what most voters do in the primaries They vote for the man who they say is the man--'they' being in this case the political bosses, We khow this, but have done little so far except ealk about it."
 Miss Wilson said, '.it surely is Ameri- ca's opportunity before all nations, to prove that the ideal of democracy is more than a dream that it is a principal that works"
 She added that self government ifs nothing more or less than a process of education"
 Miss Wilson said that her proposals to use school principals as election clerks and secretaries fcommunity social cen ters were not impractical. most of them having been tried successfully in Wiscon- sin. She said she realized democracy could not be obtained through machine, but that we must have the means of expressing ourselves as citizens in a more vital way.
