A defeat for the French and British troops in south ern Serbia, with losses which are de scribed as enormous, la reported in a dispatch from Sofia by way of Buda pest According to this information, the tattle occurred between Krlvolak and rrilep.

Balarartana Drives Basic South ef Nlh the railway is undoubt edly In the hands of the Bulgarians as far as Vales, since Leskovae has been reeently taken by them, but south of Vales in the neighborhood of Krlvolak, the situation has taken a turn daeldedly more favorable for the allies. The Bul garians are still persistently attacking this point, but flalonlkl dispatches report they have been driven back no fewer than four times, and the net result of the Bulgarian' desperate attempt to work themselves behind the Serbian army has been heavy losses without their gaining a foot of territory. 1 French and British troops figured con spicuously in this Bulgarian repulse, end it Is confidently believed here that rein forced by troops now arriving In large numbers a decisive offensive by the al lies will be possible in the near future, ' Allies Will Make Loan to Greece.

Nov. iO. (By Wireless to Sejrville.) The arrival at Sofia of a Qer tnan Zeppelin, after an sight-hour voy age from Temeavar.

Of this number 770 passengers, a num ber of them Injured, are reported to have been landed at Blserta, while a later mes sage stated two of ths Ancona's boats with fifty-four of ths crew had landed at Cape Ron, Tunis, about trrenty miles east of Blserta. The Ancona, according to the local agents, was scheduled to sail from Naples yesterday. After leaving Naples the steamer would pass through the Tyrrhe nian sea and enter the Mediterranean be tween Sardinia and Sicily. The meager dispatches Indicate that the Ancona was sunk within the comparatively small tri angle, the points of which are the south ern end of Sardinia, the western end of Sicily and Blserta, Tunis. ' Austrian and German submarines have been active in this region of late, ac cording to cable reports. Aarents Cable for Mt. As soon as the local agents learned of the sinking they cabled the home office st Naples for a complete passenger list. At present nothing Is known here con cerning the personnel of the paaeengera. but Mr, Sol art thought the number of first rabln passengers eighty-three as given In a cable report today, was too high. He said ths Ancona had accom modations fcr only fifty first cabin pas sengers. On the last three trips from Naples to New Tork, Mr. Solarl said, more than half of the Anoona's passen gers have been women and children, owing to the fact that few men of mili tary age are leaving Italy. The Ancona had not been used as a transport during the present war, the agent said, nor has the vessel csrrled any munitions. It has been a favorite steamer with opera singers and musicians coming to this country. Tltta Ruffo, the baritone, was reported aboard the steamer, but this waa discredited by his ' brother In Chicago. Probably Itearntar Course. The message from Malta stating that four passengers and forty-one of the crew of the Anoona have been lAnded there, falls to aid In fixing the approxi mate position of the steamer when It was sunk. Malt Is about tor) miles southeast of Cape Bon, where two of the Ancona's lifeboats landed. The. fact that the large number of sur vivors have been landed at Blserta, east of Cape Bon, la taken by steamship men here to Indicate that the Ancona was on the regular course when sunk. Tills course, it wss said, lies closer to the Afrlcsn coast than te that of Sardinia. " Stopped by British, for several months before Italy's en trance Into the war the Ancona waa en gsged In carrying home Italian reservists from this country snd supplies for the Italian government. On one of its trips from New Tork to Naples, late in August last year, the Anoona was stopped by the British at Gibraltar and twenty-four Germane and one Austrian wsre taken off the ship. Late last sum mer the Ancona left here for Italy wltU 7l.0oo bushels of wheat, I.OflO tons of bay and 500 horses for the Italian govern ment.' On ths aame Voyage It carried X Italians In ths steerage who went bark because It was said at the time that they could not get work in the New York subway. . The Aneona had been In the Italian Una service for sis years and without its cargo was valued at more than 11,000,000. The Aneona played a prominent part In the rescue of passengers - from the burning Fabre liner Han t' Ann In mid Atlanllo last September 11. It came to the Sant'Anna's aid and took oif more than SuO issengers. The Sant'Anna carried more than I.O04 paasehgers, but succeeded in checking the fire and pro- reeded to the A so res without further as sistance from the Aneona. V" '" "n A''tla- tenets. WASHINGTON. Nov. W.-Secretary Inaing today indicated the Vnlted States would wait a reasonable time for an official report on the sinking of the Ancona, but that II official word Is not received within a reasonable time the department will inquire into the nffa'r through the embassy at Rome. Officially Austria has never given the United States nof.ee that It regarded tne waters of the Mediterranean . sur rounding Italy as blockaded, or that Its submarines would tropedo merchantmen without warning. The fact raises In the minds ef some officials the point as to GREAT GUN PLANT DESTROYED BY FIRE Machine Shop No. 4 of the Beth lehem Steel Company i Burned.

Only the skeleton of the big tullding- ia standing. Machinery and war material in the building waa said to be worth millions of dollars. How the fire started Is not defi nitely known. It was discovered in the boring mill and la said to have started from a spark from an electric lamp falling Into a pool of oil. The fire spread rapidly and soon the entire building was wrapped In flames. The! fire department " of the steel plant was called Into action, as well as the departments from four neighboring towns. The value of the guns alone in the shop Is said to be several million dollars. There were about 1,000 machines of different kinds in the building, running from lathes, shapers, drills, on down to boring machines. These machines were . worth from 1100, to several thousand dollars each, and It is estimated that the value of the machinery was several million dollars.. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. The American steamer Zeelandla was forcibly searched by a party from a British cruiser last week while lying In the port of Progreso, Mexico. The American consul there reports the cruiser now Is lying outside, pre sumably waiting to seise the ship. On the faoe of such a report as the consul sent, even though Incomplete, the official conclusion here Is that the Brlt Inh naval authorities not only violated Mexican neutrality, but far exceeded their rights in forcibly searching an American ship In a neutral port. Movement of lUelaadlsu The Zeelandla figured much of late in reports of the Invest'gatlons of British agents on the trail of ships supposed to be fitting out In the United Statee for sitae on oil-carrying ships from Mex ican fields, where the British navy draws a great proportion of Its supply of fuel oil. On October 7 ths Zeelandla, formerly a Hawaiian ship, mysteriously left Pen- sacola, Fla., at night for Tamplco, Mex- i Ico, carrying a large stock of provisions and manned principally by Germans. An American flag painted on Its hull had been painted over and it was reported that while at sea it flew the German colors, although thla was flatly denied by Its ownors. The ship moved from Tampieo to Cam- peche, where British sgents located H and reported that It bore a large quan tity of rosin, for whioh thera was no ostensible use in Mex.oo, although It ia used largely for making shiapnal. They also reported their suspicions that it bore a large quantity of copper and the British view was that ths ship was waiting for an opportunity to slip out with the cargo for earns port where it would find its way to Great Bntatn's enemies. Will Make Thoroagb. Inquiry. Nothing further of its movements wss reported It had been forcibly searched reported until today when the American oonsul reported It had been forcibly searched In port by a party from the Brit ish cruiser which had been lying outside. What the searchers found the consul did not report, but Inasmuch as he re ported the crulsor still lying in wait It waa supposed here they found something which they believed would justify fur ther action when the Zeelandla puts te ea. The forcible searching of an American ship In a neutral port probably would constitute one of the most serious issues to arise between the United States and Great Britain in the controversy now in the channels of diplomacy over the Brit ish navy's conduct toward American ahipplnir. While awaiting- further details here oliiclala were silent.. A thorough Investigation will be made. Owners Deny British Charges. NEW YORK, Nov. .10. The steamer Zeelandla, which is reported to have been searched by a, boarding party from a British cruiser at .Progreeo. Mex., Is owned by the Flske Trading company of New York. The owners said today they had received no report from Captain Devanchler for a week. The manager of the Flske company again denied that the Zeelandla had taken on board several officers who es caped from the Interned German auxil iary cruiser Kron Prlnse Wllhelm at Nor folk, Va., or that the vessel had been fitted out for the use of Germans in pos- SHENANDOAH.

Charles, who was killed by a Wabash train near Strahan August IX 1911 This case was unique in that the mother did the suing Instead of the father, and the mental anguMh plea waa the feature on which the trial waa baaed. The young man's body was found on the railroad early in the morning and It waa alleged that be waa killed when forcibly put off a train by the conductor. The court says that the evidence shows that the boy violated the statute which forbids the boarding of trains In motion and his conduct amounted to an assault on the conductor.

They thrive in milk that has been pasteur ized as well as in unpasteurized milk. Chicago Health, Bulletin No. 8 says that ten cases of typhoid fever were traced to one milk-wagon driver who stayed at work after he felt sick. This driver wiped the top of each milk bottle with a piece of cheesecloth and so spread the disease. It's not enough to have milk start pure for your kitchen. For you to be protected it must be pure when it reaches you. Pasteurization of milk on the dairy farm is good so far as it goes, but all dangers in milk are not overcome by that process. There are still the exposures to contamina-' tion in bottling, handling and delivering the milk.
