sparks are flying inside, but the engine
is warming to Its work, and the crew
are standing to their guns and waiting
for the first sight Of the Huns. The

the iron stakes snap, and slowly and

Then comes the great moment Of a
battle. the moment of hesitation before
one side gains the mastery: when the
attackers lose heart or when the de-
tenders collapse and break and run from
the certain death in front to the cruel
barrage behind. But up swarm our in

When the Empress Of Germany ana

military hospitals they usually let the

The word Jigoslav is the Serbian
for South Slav, and before the war the
South Slavs numbered about 100000
people. occupying the Independent
states of Serbia and Montenegro and
the following provinces of Austria
Hungary-Bosnia and Herzegovina,
annexed as recently as 1908; Dalma-
tia, which became Austrian after the
Napoleonic wars; Croatia and Slavo-
mia; the territories of the Slovenes:
the Banat of Temesvar. Batchka, and
Baranya, in South Hungary. These
provinces. for political reasons chiefly,
were under a variety of administra-
tons.
The Turkish tide which in the mid
die ages swept over the Balkans and
destroyed the old Serbian empire.
swept later over Hungary. and was
only arrested at the gates Of Vienna.
Then the tide gradually ebbed and
province after province became liber-
ated. The Jugoslav provinces, freed
from the Turks, fell under the power
of Austria, all except Serbia and
Montenegro. and it was the desire of
Austria for Serbia, which stood on the
high road of eastern expansion" that
precipitated the European war.

 TERRIFIED GERMANS.

With the Anglo American Forces Northeast Of Cambrai. Oct 10.-Be.. tween Fresnoy and Boham where the German machine eunner have con centrated in force there was the stit- fest kind of fighting today British tanks helped to clear the machine gun nests
 Allied troops are in force d thous- and yards south of the Le Cateau roau and have captured the towns of Es .toumel and Igniel-les- Frisettes on the highway. The British are still reporl- ed to be progressing. Six pontoon bridges and tow infantry bridges over the Schedt river have been blown up by the enemy.
 British cavalry east of Cambral seems to be working forward Late last nieht they signalled from Beau mont and they were said to be mak ing good progress
 It was Tennessee and North and South Carolina troops who captured Buisigny after overCiming only slight opposition. They then went forward
 Ttis morning the British were well to the east of 1onnechy and Trois viller Northeast of Cam6rai addlt- iona important gains have been maoe ing hard opposition with their rear guards But this may break at any time as it did to the southeast of Cam brai.
 There are signs that the Germans are preparing for q general retreat as they must do now that such wide gains have been made othe southeast ol Cambrai and cavalry and patrols are working far forward
 Aeroplanes report increased con- fusion on the roads to the east and northeast of LeCateau The British guns have again been moved up and are pounding the fleeing Germans heavily
 Low flying British aeroplanes are out in great numbers, despite the bad flying weather, bombing and machine cunning bodies of troops and fleeing transports. They are doing tremend- ous damage to the terrified Germans.
 The drive. in addition to menacing the Germans north of Cambrai, is rap idly leaving their entire positions south of the river Suippe in pocket. If the British go much farther east and the French and Americans drive up, the Germans undoubtedly will be obliged to evacuate all this vast stretch of territory
