ALLIES SCORE VICTORY
Serbians Smash Through Bulgarian
Lines and Extend Line Two
Miles

London, Nov. 14-Franco-Serbiar
troops, constituting the left wing oi
the allied front in Macedonia, scored
a new important success during
the last twenty-four hours, the
French war office frankly ceding the
lions share to the Serbs.
Aided by a terrific gunfire OF the
famous French "seventy-fives" : the
Serbs effected a new crossing of the
Cerna River, captured the village OF
Iven, and smashed through the Bull,
garian defenses, advancing to depth
of nearly two miles.
At the same time French and
Serbian infantry forces pushed fur
ther ahead in the Cerna bend to the
north of Velyeselo.
Altogether 1000 prisoners were
taken, and the booty included sixteen
Bulgarian guns.
Sofia officially admitted yester-
day afternoon the loss of series OF
heights northeast of Polog.
The Serbian success here, with the
.apture of Iven, village, means an
advance of five miles since the fall
of Polog Sunday.
All Bulgarian counter attacks
furious as they were, failed under
the French hail of shells.
London, Nov 1--Gen. Won Falken-
hayn's campaign against Roumanla
has entered new phase. 1t will be
known, military experts here predict
as the "battle of Campulung."
The battle is in full swing. 1t
was ushered in early yesterday by a
Teuton victory, conceded officially by
Bucharest and Petrograd. Three
more towns, Dicta, Arsurillier and
Candesti, fell to the German COM
mander, who, after protracted dead
lock with the reinforced Roumanians
has suddenly set his "steam roller
into motion again.
Cadesti is the most important OF
the trio of newly captured cities.

TO co TOWASHlNGT0N CAPT TURE400O TEUTOhs
British Continue Successful Smash
Against Enemy's Lines on the
Ancre River.

London, Nov. 14-The British on
the !Ance today continued thei sue
cessful smash against the heavily
fortified German lines on the Ancrc
river. The war Office reported new
progress at Beaucourt, where 4,000
Germans We're taken prisoners.
Yesterdays advance, including to-
days consultations, was on front
of more than five miles and to
depth at some points of more than a
mile. Each attack was preceded by
a curtain fire, which German prison.
ers say is the most terrible of any
barrage hail of metal that has been
faced on any front.
Bitter fighting was going OH in
the outskirts of the town At noon.
The announcement which told Of
the new advance at Beaucourt- Sur
Ancre said the storming of Beau
imont-Hamel village shad been COM
pletely successful.
Fighting today at the northern
edges of Beaumont and Hamel, on
the north bank. where the Germans
are attempting to rally their forces,
us proceeding with an intensity that
increases hourly.
By today the number Of prisoners
taken had increased we'll above t.
600. More are continually being hur-
ricd back of the British lines. Much
booty also was found in the amazing
!y intricate dug-out defenses.
Fragmentary press reports reach
ing here today told of spread of
the fighting several miles northward,
which led to belief that General
Haig's forces have started a drive
on Serro, about one mile north of
Beaumont and a scant mile and
half northwest Of Miraumont.
While interest centered on this
latest Haig smash, great Importance
lis attached to reports from the east
en- front that Russians in force have
crossed the Danube from point
west below Cernavoda.
This gives the Russo-Roumanians
re-enforcementS at point where
they already have shown an advan-
tage over Mackensen's left wing,
which Petrograd and Bucharest re-
ported is retreating, despite Berlin
war Office statements that the field
marshal is maintaining his positions
there.

cheered by enthusiastic thousands,
S. H. Murzell, South Side busi-

over cold cement sidewalks for one
mile in Carson. street Sunday after

in compliance with the terms of an
election bet. If Hughes had been
elected President, the wager would
have required Roy C. Long to take
the same shoeless jaunt.
After Wilson's victory had been
announced, Wurzell indicated nc
would follow the example Of Repub-
licar Chairman Wilcox and concede
:,othing till the official count should
be finished. When the local weather
bureau Sunday announced cold
wave was coming, WuIzell decided he
had better have il over with before

Won HOLLWEG WINS
German Chancellor Achieves Signifi-
cant Political Victory

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE imperial Ger
man chancellor, Dr.. won Bethmann-
Hollweg, yesterday won what is re-
earded as the most significant poll
tical victory of his career. It is at
the same time victory for the
policy which has as its motto,
Peace and Friendship With Ameri-
ca" Incidentally, it became known
for the first time that Gen. Won
Falkenhayn was relieved of the office
of chief of the great general staff
for the same reason that Grand Adj
miral Won Tirpitz was shelved for
his stand on submarine warfare.
The chancellor scored his triumph
when the executive committee of the
national radical party closed a two
days session by adopting, with but
one dissenting vote, resolution con-
demning intrigues against him.
1t was in the course of a bitter
arraignment of the conservatives and
ipan-Germans for their submarine
agitation that Friedrich Won Payer,
south German radical. leader in the
reichstag, disclosed that ,Falkenhayn
and Tirpitz, whom he described as
candidates for the chancellor's
shoes" lost their respective respon-
sible Offices because of their. stand OF
the U-hoat question.
He added that the submarine po-
! Icy had been placed by the reich
stag in the hands of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, Falkenhayn's sue
cessor.

STRIKE LOOMS UP AGAIN
T-ainmen and Railroads at Odds
Over Adamson Law

New York, Nov. 14-Danger OF
n nationwide railroad strike which
was believed to have been averted
by the passage of the Adamson eight
hour law. has not entirely disappear
ed, it developed here yesterday when
representatives of tine railroads anC
the four brotherhcods, comprising
100000 employees, failed to reach az
agreement as to the proper appllca-
tion of the new law. The stumbling
block, both sides admitted, was the
existing mileage system OF compen-
sation.
The announcement of the latest
deadlock between the railroads and
their employees came at the, .conclu-
sion of an all-day conference between
the national conference committee of
the railways and the brotherhood
chiefs, which had been arranged in
September.
"We met" said Elisha Lee, chair
man of the railroad managers and
the conference, "for the purpose of
exchanging ideas on the application
and operation of the Adamson law.
We failed to reach an agreement and
we are not certain that another meet
ing will take place"
. William G.. Lee, president Of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
declared that in the event CT evasion
hy the railroads of the, Adamson law,
summary action would be taken by
the brotherhoods. He said that the
strike order, which was directly re-
sponsible for the law, was still in eff
feet and the brotherhoods would not
hesitate to enforce it if the occa-
sion warranted It
The mileage system of compensa-
ton. the basis Of which is the mum
Der of miles traversed by train crew
and not the actual hours of work, is
the crux of the new problem that, {
railroad authority said, may result
in the development Of situation
similar tc the one which brought
into being the Adamson law.
Frankly said Chairman Lee, o:
the conference committee, in discus
sing this phase of the situation, "the
trouble lies in the fact that neither
the railroads nor the men knew defni
tely how the law should be applied.
"We have oar own ideas as to hov
the law shall be applied-if at all
as suits to test its validity are nov
pending, while the brotherhoods hav,
their own ideas. !
Chairman Lee added that he coul,
not predict the probable outcome o
the difficulties. He said, however
that negotiations probably would b
resumed by calling asother confer
ence.
