FAILED TO SAVE THE CITY Bulgars on the Move—Heavy Fighting Around Loos and Hindenburg Again Is Attacking DvInsk —Landing at Saloniki. London, Oct. 9.—Belgrade, the old capital of Serbia, or the greater part of it, is In possession of an enemy army for the second time since the outbreak of the war, while other Aus- tro-German troops ,have crossed the Save and Danube rivers and are at- tempting 'to make a great drive into Serbian territory. The capture of Belgrade has been expected, as it Was not thought that the Serbians would make any serious attempt to save the city. It is situ- ated on.a point of Serbian soil at the junction of the Save and Danube jut- ting toward Austria, and could conse- quently be attacked from three sides --operations which the Austro-Ger- mans found little difficulty in success- fully carrying out. Real Test Comes Later. The real test of strength will come when the invaders reach the main Serbian positions in the mountains, where the Austrians were so severely defeated last December. The present, however, is a more favorab . 1 attack, the new army group under command of Field Marshal von Mackensen hav- ing been organized for that purpose. Its strength is not exactly known, but it is supposed that its artillery is com- posed chiefly of Austro-Hungarians, _WW1 4_ Stiffening of Germans, and is largely commanded by German offi- cers. Generals von Koevess and von Gallwitz, who took part in the great offensive against Russia, have com- mands under von Mockensen. The Bulgarians, acting in concert with their new allies, are advancing . from Sofia toward Pirot, on the Ser- bian frontier, the fortress which cov- ers the !vs to Nish, the Serbian cap- ital. Land Troops at Saloniki. The French and British are landing troops at the tate of 14,000 daily at Saloniki to send by railway to the as- sistance of Serbia. The Balkans, therefore, have taken their place with the Russian a ern ron as a center on which thb interest of the world will rest for some time to come. From indications the Black and Aegean seas also will be the scenes of greater activity, for as soon as bulgaria strikes at Serbia the allied fleets will give the Bulgar- ian ports their attention. Germans in Full Possession. London, Oct. 11.—The Austro-Ger- mans now are in full possession of Belgrade and the heights surrounding the city and have begun an advence eastward toward the mountains which the Serbians last year so stubbornly defended 'against the Austrians, and which proved a death trap for the in- vaders. For some time to come the invaders, it is expected, will have to fight only the rear guards, whose duty it is to delay their progress, for the Serbians Will doubtless do as they have done on previous occasions—fall back until they they reach positions in which they will have the best opportunity of holding their ground. In fact, military writers here do not expect a pitched battle on this front for 10 days or a fortnight, by which time the allies' forces landed at Saloniki should have joined hands with the Serbians. Capt.-J. E. Sprague, commandant of the Montana Soldiers' home, who has occupied this position since the death of Captain Howell and has ably filled the position, has tendered his resigna- tion to take effect on Dec. 1. Com- mandant Sprague resigns on account of ill health, which he hopes to im- prove by going to a lower altitude. The board of managers will meet at the soldiers' home at Columbia Falls on Tuesday, Nov. 9, and in addition to other business coming before the board, will elect a successor to Cap- tain Sprague. It is underatoods there are several candidates for this posi- tion. The following gentlement con- stitute the board of .managers: Al G. Ingraham, president, Kalispell; Chas. S. Warren, secretary, Butte; Major Martin Maginnes, Helena; Dr. W. H. Campbell, Kalispell, and Judge James R.. Goss, timings. Physician (at hospital)—I thought you merely had the measles?

CHICAGO SALOONS SHUT SUNDAY PACIFIC COAST NEWS England has ordered 166,000,000 feet of lumber from British Columbia mills.

MORE DELAY IN PANAMA CANAL Little Houe of Handling Shipping Be- fore January. Panama.—A careful survey of the slide area in the Gaillard cut reveals that there are probably 10,000,000 cu- bic yards of earth in motion, which must be taken out by dredging opera- tions before a permanent channel through the cut is probable. This is the conclusion reached by the canal engineers, who concede there is now little hope of opening the waterway, even for the temporary use of shipping, much before the first of the year. The present rate of wet excavation is 1,000,000 yards per month and at this rate it would require not less than 10 months to remove the mass which Is now sliding into the canal consider- ably faster than the dredges can take it out. It is said that often the canal bottom bulges up to a height of 15 feet above the surface of the water, due to the tremendous weight of the hillside. The area of motion is roughly calcu- lated to be in the neighborhood of 175 acres, which constitutes the greatest slide area in the history of the canal. It extends 2600 feet along both banks of the waterway, with probably an av- erage of 1500 feet back of the center line of the canal prism. er - Ttlit Affectad-=- - Ffrsitiry Day in Forty-four Years. Chicago.—Saloon, hotel and restaur- ant bars were closed here Sunday for the first time in forty-four years.

CARRANZA GETS RECOGNITION NOW PAN - AMERICAN CONFERENCE, LED BY SEC. LANSING, MAKES ITS DECISION. GENERAL VILLA IS DEFIANT Says Action of Conference Will Not Affect Him and His Army—Will Continue Fighting Carranza— New President Has Hard Job. Washington.—Recognition of the party led by General Carranza as the de facto government Mexico was unanimously agreed upon Saturday by the Pan-American conference as the step to be recommended to their re- spective governments. Secretary Lansing, on behalf of the United States government, expressed its intention to recognize General Car- ranza, and the ambassadors of Brazil, Chile and Argentine, and the minis- ters of Bolivia, Uruguay and Guate- mala, transmitted the decision of the Washington government, as well as their opinions in agreement with it. Mr -Lansing has obtained the approval of President Wilson to the plan, and before the conference began all the other ministers in the Latin-American corps also had given their adherence to it. - Will Get U. S. Support. The action of the conference was regarded generally as the most im- portant diplomatic step in the Mexi- can situation since the United States decided to withhold recognition from the Huerta government, more than two years ago. It means that the Carranza government will receive the moral support of the United States, and that an embargo on shipments of arms to opposing factions will be laid as soon as recognition actually is extend- ed, which will probably be within a fortnight. Officials believe many elements in Mexico will align themselves with Carranza, and that the latter will him- self adopt a liberal attitude toward his opponents, permitting of a recon- ciliation of the various branches of the original constitutionalist party, of which he was one of the founders. Secretary Lansing made it clear that while the United States could not con- dition recognition upon the giving of amnesty or the settlement of other questions of a strictly internal nature, assurances on these and other sub- jects have been received from Car - Villa to Continue Fight. El Paso. Texas.—\The war is just beginning,\ said General Francisco Villa, with a broad grin, upon receiv- ing from his representatives at Wash- ington the news of the recognition of the Carranza faction as the de facto government of Mexico. \Carranza cannot defeat my army,\ asserted Villa, ''try as he may, and represent himself and his strength as he will. The recognition of Carranza will not affect the constitutionalist cause.\ PRESIDENT WILSON TO WED SPORTING ITEMS For the eighth time in his career, Ty Cobb is champion batter of the Amer- ican league, wit ha percentage of .36 9 .

Bride -to -Be Is Mrs. Galt of the Na- tional Capital. Washington, D. C.—President Wood- row Wilson, October 8, announced his engagen - Thrt\ to Mrs. Norman Galt, a wealthy and beautiful widow of Wash- ington. No date has been set for the wedding, but it is presumed that the ceremony will take place early in De- cember at the bride's home. The bethrothal is the result of a short and ardent courtship on the part of the president. The president has been seen fre- quently in public of late with the pretty widow. Mrs. Galt is a great friend of the daughters of the presi- dent, and it was through Miss Mar- garet Wilson that Mrs. Galt became a frequent visitor at the White House. Mrs. Galt is the widow of a well- known business man of _Washington who died eight years ago, leaving a jewelry business that still bears his name. In social circles Mrs. Galt is considered of striking beauty, with a charm of manner that will make her a popular first lady of the land. Her literary ability is marked, and her tastes are said to be similar to those of the president. With the marriage of two of his daughters and the death of his wife a little more than a year ago, the life of the president is said to have been lonely. The president announces that he will vote for woman' suffrage in New Jersey._ The president will be 60 years of age December 28. President Wilson is a Presbyterian and Mrs. Galt an Episcopalian, and no decision has been reached as yet as to which service will be used at the wedding.

New York.—That the acceptance by American bankers of the $500,000,000 Anglo-French five-year 5 per cent loan was a strictly neutral business trans- action designed to promote the com- mercial prosperity of the. United States was the position taken by J. P. Morgan in an address delivered by him Saturday to bondmen. • The bondman represented financier bouses - intereif; --- . - ed in the sale of the Anglo-French bonds. Mr. _Morgan said the bonds repre- sented th,,e only external debts of the two nations and, being an external obligation, they were the first charge the revenues, of t.h. nations. \And it is absolutely imperative,\ be added, \for a nation to meet its exter- nal obligations if it is to escape the worst form of bankruptcy and dis- grace. Nations must care for their external obligations regardless of what arrangements they make for their in- ternal debts.\ In referring to the convertible fea- ture of the bonds, Mr. Morgan called attention to the five-year period and said: \Within five years, please God, the war will be over and well over, and 1 want to say that nobody is going to extinguish any great nation in thia war.\ BANDIT MAKES RICH HAUL Rob Baltimore & Ohio Mail Train of About $100,000.
