Germans Are Building
New Intenchments Far
Behind Lines in France
(By Associated PresE.1


AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Me-. 90
According to information CLEANED from
several hundred refugees from the oc-
cupied regions of northern France, who
have been passing through Holland, the
Germans have prepared positions far
behind their present front. They are, 4
is said. reckoning more and more on
the possibility of a retreat to the Bel
gian frontier. The positions near Man.
beuge and Hautmont are even more for
midable than those north of Lille. The
old forts are deserted, for, taking full
account of the new methods of warfare,
the Germans have constructed a net
work of trenches, and great earthen cav
ems made with the aid Of reinforced
concrete and iron.
News comes from northern France an
well as from Belgium of the increasing
number of the population who are being
put 10 work by the Germans. The nor
NAL industries have long been stopped.

beehives of activity. This is the case,

CAPTURE Of SERBIAN
CAPITAL MAY RESULT
IN SWEEPING VICTORY
Report Received by London
Says Retreat of Teutonic
Troops Has Been Turned
Into DebaCie
CBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O-The cap
ture of Monastir by General Sarrails
army in Macedonia is looked upon by
entente military writers as of notable
political Importance but opinion appears
to be divided as TO whether it will be
followed by military developments Of
sweeping character.
Events OF the next day or two are
expected to show whether the captorH
of the Macedonian capital will require
a period of rest before starting a new
advance OF whether the pursuit OF the
retreating Germano-Bulgarian force Is
to be pressed, despite adverse weather
conditions.
In some quarters an advance by the
entente forces along the road to Prilep
is forecast, to be followed by a thrust
from Prilep toward Negotin on the Var
dar with the object Of outflanking the
Bulgarians and opening up the frontiep
passes northwest OF Saloniki.
The situation in Greece apparently
has reached another of its critical
stages. Following the demand by the
entente for the turning over Of virtual
" all the arms, artillery and munitions
of the Greek army, it is reported today
in an Athens dispatch that the minis
ters of the Teutonic allies have been
ordered by the entente allies to leave
Greece by Wednesday. s-.s

The state of Georgia is asked TO con-
tribute $4,000 as her share OF the de-

the Democracy of the state should rally
at once to the call and contribute her
part before the week has passed.

accompanying his subscription of $3.50
