Justice Peelle Arraigns Administration
for Economic Errors.

Declaring that in June, 1914. two months
prior to the present European war. bust
ness Of the United States had decreased
81, O0o 900 an hour since the time OF the
Inauguration Of Woodrow Wilson as
President, Chief Justice Stanton J. Peelle,
of the Court Of Claims, retired. last night
addressed the Woman's National RepUb-
lican Club in the gridiron room OF the
Willard Hotel.
Justice Peelle's address was a fiery at
tack upon the economic principles Of the
present administration He said the pres
ent prosperity Of the country was not a
fair sample OF the work done under the
Democratic regime, and that the shadowy
gains in business are founded upon the
misfortunes OF war.
At the close of the war We shall see
that the kind OF man needed by the
American people in the White House is
one like Charles Evans Hughes, whose
abilities combine the conservatism Of a
iurist together with an executive faculty
that was proven while he was governor
of the Empire State" said Justice Peeue
In regard to suffrage for women. Ju-
tiCe Peelle said:
Il have been an advocate OF IL for forty
years, and it is gratifying to me TO see
that at last it has been adopted by the
Republican party"

SERbIANS SMASH
BULGARIAN WING
Lines Pushed Further Toward
Goal at Monastir.
CBy the InternatiohaI New, serrIe.l

(By the International News seryIce.)
London, Sept. 20.-The Bulgarian right
wing in Macedonia has suffered a fur
ther serious defeat at the hands OF the
Serbians, who took dominating noun
tain peak and subsequently passed their
lines farther toward Monastir, the chief
Bulgarian base. Unofficial dispatches
place the Serbs seven miles from Mona
stir.
On their left, between Lake Doiran
and the Struma, the Bulgars on their
part scored an important success over
the Italians, which is admitted by the
war. office. After a sharp battle at the
foot of Mount Beles, they drove the Ital-
lans back several miles as far as the
Doiran- Demir Hissar railway capturing
four villages. Sofia describes the Italian
retreat as a rout, in which much war
material and 100 rifles were abandoned.
The Italian war office says the Italian
troops were able to fall back in good
order, protected by stubborn rear-guard
action"
The capture by the Serbians Of Hill No.
2265, the highest summit Of the Kaimak-
calan Mountain range, twenty-eight
miles southeast of Monastir. is an i'm
portant step toward the investment Of
Monastir. Prince Alexander's infantry
took the height in a fierce battle, marked
by hand-to-hand fighting, in which the
bitter hatred between the two nations
was given free play.
Gen. Sarrail'e official report says the
Bulgarian losses were very heavy. Only
fifty were taken prisoners by the Serbs.
French 75-milimeter guns helped the
Serbians in repelIing spirited Bulgarian
counter blows east Of FlOrina.
