M0NAS7IR, VERDUN 4 OF THE BALKANS
h Worse State Than French City, Observer Reports

Monastir. Serbia, Oct. 7-tstaft Correspondence)-Th martyred city of the Serbs. under continuous bonn bardment from the Bulgar batteries only two miles away. was visited for the first time today by a, civilian, on orders issued by General Grosetti, commander-in-chief on the Monastir front of the army of the Orient. It is seldom that a press dispatch goes from Serbia these days, for prac- swept clean by the Austro- -Bulgar thu southwest, retaken last Novem Der, is holding out against the terrific bom- bardment.
 Tt is worse than Verdun," said Lieutenant-ColonelD Dosse of the staff. who was on General Petains staff at Verdun during the worst days
 Monastir lies in cup-like hollow, and by reason of it's being on Ser blan soil it Is the center of the bit terest strife between Serb and Bull gar. It was one of the last points abandoned by the Serbs in their exo- dus before the rush of the Austr1ans in 1915. The Bulgars held 1t last year through August. Then the new Serbian army, reorganlzed, gave their first attention to getting back this city. But their newness was against them and they were badly repulsed But in October the Serbs got their rAvenge, making a mass attack with the French and Russian divisions.
 This fight of Serb against Bulgar was one of the bloodiest of the war. The Serb took the strategic key of Mount Kaisnatchkalon, which today marks the burying place of 10000 Bulgars Monastir was again taken, but the Austro -Bulgars still held on only three miles north and west Of the city. General Grosetti cleared them from the northern hills in a bril- liant attack last March, when the fa- nous Hill 1,248 was taken. But they clung to the western hills. and there they are today raining down their shells on the old Serbian town. It used to have 5O,000 populations; now 1t has 5000 living in Icellars.
 Entering the city, by the street through the poor quarter, there were signs of life, despite the rumble of the guns. Little girls ran along the street with jars of water on their heads, carrying fresh water to the people imprisoned in the cellars. All the shops were closed or abandoned. Many of the front walls were ripped oht, and the abandoned stock scat tered about. Almost every third house was down-a mass of debris. Those between were asl1ew, with a cornice or wing blown off, or the up- per story torn out, or a huge round hole in front showing where a shot had cut through before exploding. A tumbled down cafe showed several

F|NE PROGRAM PRESENTED BY
 NRS. bURR|SS

Mrs. William Galen Burriss plesented an unusually attractive program in her song recital at the Arizona School of Music last evening. While Mrs. Burriss is by no means q newcomer to Phoenix last night was the first time she had an opportunity to really show her abil ity as well as her versatility as sing CT. Mrs. Burriss has beautiful voice, very limpid and pure, voice that rirgs true and carries well. Her diction is unusually good this was especially true in her German. She has consider able emotional spontaneity and pro- iects it with assurity that never fails of effect, and exhibits in the treatment of her songs an art of delivery and a sense of their spirit that distiiis their subtlest essence
 Mrs. Burriss' program was a r3fIier pretentious one, especially was this true in the fact that she closed with three arias one from La Boneme. ore from Tannhauser and one from Mig non, but each number was presented with a finish that proclaimed her an artist.
 Mrs. Burriss was assisted lay Tiara J. Dunsworth, who proved to be most efficient and sympathetic accompanist.
