Retreat of Germans and Bulgarians
as Debacle.

London, Nov, 20-The retreat OF the
German Bulgarian forces from Monastir
in the direction of Prileps is debacle,
says a dispatch to the Wireless Press
from Rome to-day. The entente troops
are pursuing the fleeing foe and have oc
cupied the villages north of Monastir,
taking prisoners as they advance.
The Serbians, according to these ad-
vices, are delaying entering Monastir be-
cause of fire and explosions, which have
destroyed the city, from which
the population had fled.

MONASTIR'S FALL MAY BE
PRELUDE TO BIG SUCCESS

The capture of Monastir by
General Sarrail's army in Mace
donia is looked upon by entente
writers as of notable political in-
portance, but opinion appears to
be divided as to whether it will be
followed by military developments
Of sweeping Importance. The
events of the next day or two are
expected to show whether the cap
tors of the Macedonian capital will
require a period of rest before
starting new advance or whether
the pursuit of the retreating Ger
man Bulgarian force will be
pressed despite adverse weather
conditions.
In some quarters the advance by
the entente forces along the road
TO Prilep is to be followed by
thrust from Prelip toward Negotin
in Varder, with the object of out
fanking the Bulgarians and open
ing up the frontier passes north
west of Saloniki.

FALL OF MoNAsTIR IMPORTANT.
City Was Greatly Desired BY the Bul
garians.

London, NOV. Eu--Ihe fall OF MonaStlr
on the anniversary of its capture by the
Serbs from the Turks in 1912 is hailed
by the morning newspapers as being of
considerable political and military inn
portance. 1t is believed that as Bulga-
ra's main object in entering the war
was the possession of Macedonia, the
loss Of the Macedonian capital must
bring an acute sense of failure both to
the Bulgar politicians and military Off
GERS.
On the other hand it is contended that
the recapture of the town will greatly
encourage the Serbs, whose recent val
liant capture of kaimakalan mountain
prepared the way for the city's fall. The
recapture of Monastir had been expected
here, but it came sooner than had been
anticipated and with almost dramatic
suddenness.
A point which is considerably discussed
by the military writers is the inability
of Germany to send aid to the defenders.
This is claimed to have important signifi-
canoe. 1t is urged that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, chief of. the German
general staff, had known for six weeks
that Monastir was threatened and yet
was compelled to allow such an impor-
tant point to, pass into enemy hands
without an attempt to avoid the catss-
trophe.
The military commentators recognize
that Monastir is not first rate military
position, but they contend it will be
useful railhead, opening the way for an
advance into Serbia proper. 1t is antici-
pated, however, that the snow will pre-
vent the entente from getting much far
ther at present, while the losses the cap
tors of the town are assumed to have
suffered in common with the defenders
during the past weeks of desperate fight
ing, are expected to necessitate a period
of rest.

MOVEMENT FOR
 JAP WOMEN TO
 CHANGE RAMONA
''IncOnvenient at Work and Un- necessarily Expensive"
 \ Claim.

Tolxio, April 17-A movement has
 been started by a number of Japanese
 women to remodel the present form
 of the kinono. It is led by Mrs.
 Irisawa, the wife of pr. Tsuneko Iris ava, a prominent physician. She
 thinks that the -kinono in it's present
 form is not suited for practical pur- poses.
 'sIt is very inconvenient when at work" she said. ''and it is rather un-
 necessarily expensive. The people of the middle classes and below have to spend one-third of their income for | clothes, and the lowest class of people spend nearly all of their money for clothes.
 s"The number of rolls of cloth need ed for set of suits for a man or a. woman in winter is on the average about eight; the length of thread needed to sew them about 33O feet, and the number of stitches about 30,- 1000. The garments have to be made by the woman of the family by hand, not by machines, and it acquires days Ito do the work. The women folk
 have to devote much of their time to it all the year round. For educated women to devote their time to such
 service is unecononica1 from the point of view of the conservation of. human
 energy.
