If the Serbian advance continues it

to retire out of the Vardar valley
south of this point. but they will also
have to retire out of the Monastir

to see an allied thrust upward to Pri-,

forced to attempt a retreat westward
into the mountains on the Serbo-Al-

rough and it would be impossible to

supplies also would be difficult.
The reports indicate that the Serb
ians who have cut the German-Bul-
garian communications are joining in
the allied race for Uskub.
Further Disaster Ahead.
LONDON. September 25.-Develop-
ments on the Macedonian front today
point to further disasters for the Bull
garian armies. which are fleeing be-
fore the allied troops.
The Serbians. according to the latest
news reaching London, have crossed
the Vardar river northwest OF Grad
sko and have established third
bridgehead south of Enish Oba. They
are also advancing along the Bregal-
nitsa river. which flows into the Var.
dar about four miles northwest OF
to Ishtib. The Bulgarian army has
now been cut into a number Of groups.
The whole Of the Monastir -Prilep-
Gradsko road connecting up the two
Bulgarian armies, is in the hands of
the allies.
The enemy is fighting hard to obtain
possession Of this road and also in
the sector west of Prilep, and 1t seems
to be a race for Uskub, as the allied
forces are as near to the city as the
Bulgarians.

ator Lafollette, who favors the resol-
ution and who was without an ar
rangement for pairs.
The long distance telephone also
was called into use to try to get one
or two other senators to hurry back
TO Washington.
While the Senate leaders revised
their plans, the crowds in the galleries
remained to listen to the debate, most
of Them oblivious of the Developments
iii Saturday. Some of the leaders of
the womens organizations; however,
were consulted by senators favoring
q delay.
The suffragists are determined not
to let their resolution go down to final
defeat for this session by any false
move. If vote could be reached to-
day or within the next two days and
it becomes evident before the final
ballot is cast that it will fail of pas
sage. one OF the suffragist senators
far down the list will vote against
the resolution, so that under the
parliamentary rules he may have the
privilege after the vote has been an
nounced to move to reconsider.
In this way the SuffragiSts may
have a second opportunity to put the
resolution through.
That the democrats will permit the
resolution to be defeated at this time
appeared incredible to the women. 1t
WAS rumored that at the last moment
the administration would deliver some
OF the democratic votes in the Senate
and save the resolution.
