LONDON, Nov. 6.-Lord Kitchener,
hurrying from London to the near
east, was believed tonight about to
take active command of the alliea IN
the field against the Austro-German-
Bulgarian forces in the BALKANS.
Who will succeed him as war min
lister was q much discussed question.
That he had resigned was still official
.ly denied, but few believed he would
return to his cabinet post.
The London Globe was suppressed
by the police this afternoon. The
authorities' action was taken In con-
sequence Of the papers publication OF
reports that Kitchener had resigned.
This story was accompanied by bit
ter attack on Lord Haldane in connec-
tion with an expression Of the hope
that he would not receive the war Of
fee post.
"There is an UNPLEASANT obscurity
about the whole business said the
Globe, in its conflscated issue OF to-
day. Lord Haldane Is credited with
the conviction that he could fill the
war office post adequately. but we
most sincerely trust the premier will
not commit such an irrenediable er-
ror as to give it to him, which would
instantly jeopardize the life OF the
government"
The Globe had been one Of the bit
terest of the governments newspaper
critics. charging ineff1ciency and in
sistently demanding a more vigorous
prosecution Of the war.
Whether It will be permitted to re-
sumo publication Monday was proble-
matical tonight.
The case Is in the public prosecu-
tors hands under the defense Of the
realm act.
Ten officers from Scotland Yard
made the raid, took poss esson of all
papers, copy and correspondence, re-
moved the stereotype plates and vital
parts Of the linotypes and presses and
cut off the power.
"The search was conducted.' said
Charles Palmer, the editor, afterward.
with courtesy, thoroughness and eff
cheney. No definite charge has been
made yet but the governments ac-
ton clearly is challenge OF the
freedom Of the press and the right Of
public criticism"

ROME, Nov. 6.-Charglng with tho
bayonet, the Italians have captured
an important Austrian trench on
Monte San MicheIa, the peak which
dominates Goritz, the war office re-
ported tonight. Some prisoners and
many machine guns were taken.
The advance against the Austrians,
continues In the isonzo zone, 1t was
stated.
In the D'Aone valley, the italians
were said to have creased the river
chiefe, InHIetina heavy losses on the
enemy. :,

War Minister has Been Hurried to the Balkans
to Take Charge of Allied Attempt to
Stop German Invasion.
AND POSSIBLY ALSO TO SAVE EGYPT
Great Britain has Assumed Charge of the War
in the Near East, While France Will
Manage the Battles Nearer Home.

Post said: "It is generally believed
that Earl Kitchener's business will
necessitate stay SO prolonged that 1T
Will be necessary to fill his place at
the war ONCE before long. It is true
that he has not resigned, but the inn
portance Of his present errand makes
it certain that his resignation is only
delayed. The suggestion has been
made that Lord Haldane be brought
back to the war Office, but this Ia
probably unfounded."
The Globe is the first English paper
to be suppressed since the war began.
All available copies of its Fridays
and today's issues were confiscated,
as was the plant.
The admission that Kitchener was
on his way to the eastern front was
ofIicial. It was supplemented to FRI
days statement that he was absent
from his cabinet post on public duty.
That he was to take the field COM
mand in the near east was the gem
eral conclusion; not government
announcement. The censor, however.
found no fault with publication Of the
surmise nor with the guess that his
war ONCE work was at an end.
For the Balkan leadership, 1t was
ideal man, despite the criticism heap
ed on him from some quarters for his
management Of the war ministry.
Such fighting as is in progress in tho
Balkans, military men say, is precise
ly the sort Of warfare in which he is
at his best In the Balkan field, 1t
was widely predicted there are excel
lent chances that he will yet become
tho hero of the war
Inasmuch as General Joffre, the
French commander. has been recog-
nized by the British as commander In
chief Of all forces In the western
fighting zone, there is no reason, 1t
was pointed out, why the French and
Serbians should not recognize Kitch-
ener similarly in the near east
Indeed it was believed this was the
arrangement entered into between
Jofrre and Kitchener when the former
visited the London war office few
days ago.
Kitchener had his final interview
with King George Thursday night.

BERLIN, (via London) Nov. g.
War munitions for the Turks will be
rushing by through train from Ger
many's great krupp plant toward
ConstantinopIe by Monday, Il was be-
lieved here tonight.
No delay ID foreseen beyond an ov-
casIonaI walt on siding for passage
over the single track limo, Of ths
northwesterIy bound train loads Of
foods and raw material from Turkey
and Bulgaria on their way to Ger
many. The Buigarlans wore expected
to push to the northwest Immediately
along the Orient railway from Nish
which they captured Friday afternoon.
Germans were reported already NOV
Ing to the southwestward to moet
them, from varvarln, which they took
today.
The two towns are thlrty-five miles
apart. Military men thought the gap
could be closed by Sunday night. 1t
was recognized that this would re-
quIre long marching, but the Cor
mans advanced fifteen miles Friday.
Germany and Turkey arc mutually In
urgent need Of supplies which each
can furnish to tho other, 80 1t was
deemed certain that no unnecessary
time will be lost.
With a Junction today at krlvi VIr,
thlrty-five miles little west by north
Of Nish and eighteen miles east OF
tho railway between tho Austro-Ger-
man left and tho Buiear right wings,
an almost unbroken iIne OF the two
forces extends along concave front
across Serbia from the region east OF
vicegrad through Uzice, Caeak and
Varvarin, and down the railway limo
to the southwark through Nish to the
frontier southeast Of Pirot. Besides
varvarln and Nish, number OF other
strateglcaIIy important towns and be-
tween 5000 and 4,ooo Serbian prison
ers have fallen into the INVADERS
hands In the past few hours.
The arming OF the Turks, It was
predicted, viii be. followed speedily
by an Ottoman offensive against
Eaypt. II Is estimated that the sui.
tan has one million more men he can
put Into the field as soon as he can
equip them.
Prospect was believed excellent
that the main Serbian army will be
captured bodily by the Austro-German-
BULGARIAN movement. The Austro-
Germans are to their north and the
RuIuars to their east and south.
There Is a narrow outlet for them
to tho westward, but General Won
koevess' forces arc pushing south
ward from cacak, forty-five miles
west Of varvarin, and unless they arc
extraordinarily active. he will cut OF
their escape toward the MontenegrIn
border.
Should they try to dodge him by
shift to the southwestward, toward
Albania. they will risk running Into
the hands Of the Buigars In southern
Serbia.
Except that the Germans recovered
bv an attack with hand srenades, GER
tain trenches which tho French had
captured west Of Massiges, the official
statement said the last few hours
were rather quiet on the western
front.
