LONDON, Dec. 4. The second
phase of the Balkan campaign Is de
veloping slowly, it Is expected, how
ever, that with the conclusion of the
operations against Serbia and the
occupation of Monastir, the whole
Bulgarian army, when the weather
permits, will attempt to drive the
British and French forces out of
southern Serbia, while the Austrlans
continue their efforts to overrun
Montenegro; and the Germans, with
the aid of the Turks and what Bul
garians and Austrlans can be spared,
turn their attention to the Russians,
who again, are reported to have en
tered Roumanian territory on their
way to Bulgaria.
A report from France that rsrt of the
German army Is going to the Gallipoll
peninsula to assist the Turks In a great
effort to drive the entente allies from
the peninsula. Is hardly credited In mili
tary circles here, where It Is not believed
that they can spare the men, guns and
ammunition for such a venture.
The Turks. It Is true, have been dis
playing more activity recently In the
Dardanelles, but tbls they are believed to
have been doing more with ammunition
which they have been collecting during
the quiet period than with any fresh
supplies from Germany.
Will Gather at Rnstchnk.
Rustchuk. on the Danube, west of the
Roumanian border. In the opinion of well
advised persons here, is to be the point
of concentration for the Germans, both
as a warning to Roumania that it would
be dangerous for It to Join the entente
allies and to meet any Russian advance
There Is conflict In the speculation here
regarding the position of Greece. Some i
dispatches say a satisfactory agreement
has been reached between the entente
alles and the Hellenic kingdom, while
other aver that the situation is so un
satisfactory that the entente allies have
re-established their restrictions on Greek
commerce.
There have been no Important develop
ments on the Russian, Italian or French
fronts, although the IWllans claim some
minor successes In their campaign against
the Austrlans.
Naturally much Intel est Is displayed
in the peace talk emanat'ng from neutral
countries and the proposed debate in the
Reichstag next week. whn the Imperial
chancellor la to be asked vhether he Is
prepared to atate the terms on which
Germany would suggest placlvg the ques
tion of future Europe In th hands of
diplomats.
Serbian Army Intae'.
PARIS, Deo, 4. Athens correspondent
of the Havas Agency, sends the follow
ing: "It Is reported from Fiorina (vlreecel,
that the Serbians have sent a t umber
of battalions to occupy the ville of
Buo, two hours from the Grecian fron
tier. In order to thwart the Hulgtrian
manoeuver having for Ms purpose 'he
occupation of the railroad station at
Xanall. and the cutting off the SerbUn
retreat toward the Greek frontier.
"According to news from Serbian
sources, the total number of Serbians
made prisoners by the Bulgarians, does
not exceed 1S.0HO. The Serb an army thus
remains Intact."

Economic Union of
Austria-Hungary to
Germany Advocated
LONDON. Dec. . News ha reached
Ixndon of a conference of German and
Austro-Hungarlan economic association
held recently In Dresden which passed
resolutions in favor of an economic union
of the two empires by means of a con
vention of long duration and also recom
mending a long conference scheme.
The resolutions concluded by remark
ing that "loyal fellowship In wars with
Turkey and Bulgaria opens up new
prospects and gives the "Germans and
Austrlans tasks which they can accom
plish only In unity."
The resolutions assumed that official
negotiations between the German and
Austrian governments already had begun.
Labor Criticizes '
Compensation Act
The Central Labor union at a meeting
held last evehlmr endorsed a paper
drawn up by the local steamfltters' union
to repeal or amend the compensation law
now In effect. It Is the contention of the
men behind this movement that the com
pensation provided by the law Is ab
surdly small and Inadequate. This mat
ter will be referred to tho lotrlslature.
A strong protest will also he sent to
tha Nebraska State Railway commission
and the Nebraska State Federation ot
Labor against the Union Pacific aod
Burlington railroads ordering farmers to
cease selling their products from cars in
the railroad yards. This, tho Central
Labor union maintains. Is done for the
benefit of a certain class and Is Injurious
to the poorer man.

The sums alleged to have been extorted
ranged from 110 to $10,(H. If the con

Jules Aulthaus, "steward" of the "T. M. i
A." club, yesterday morning In police
court, where he had been convicted of
operating a disorderly house, city au
thorities declare they are not yet through.
Aulthaus was fined because the place,
the police charge, he operates In tha
Barker block was disorderly when the
police raided It. Violation of liquor laws
was not taken Into consideration at tha
t earing, but will be taken up, It la said,
after a new complaint has been filed.
The 'T. M. A." club terms Itself a
theatrical organization, but has degen
erated until theatrical folk who founded
it, abandoned the club and It has fallen
Into the bands of Aulthaus and a few
others.
w hen police raided It for vlotlatlng
liquor laws, refuge was taken In the
I n-tense that each member supplied his
own private stock of liquor: that none
but members were permitted In the place
and that no women save traveling show
folk were entertained.
AH this was duly sworn to In court I
and the police lost their case. A court
order gave the "Theatrical" club the1
right to operate under the locker system.
Investigation recently beun. authorities
declare, snows that the club (or many
Months has been entertaining and cater
ing to drinking parties and women of
the Btrcet. Hordes ot taxi drivers who

A level teaspoonful in a cup of boilijig water
makes a delicious drink instantly. The rich flavour
of Instant Postum, much like the mild Javas of the Old
Dutch Gov't plantations, makes the change easy.
But more important, Instant Postum, made only
of wheat and a bit of molasses is free from the drug,
caffeine, in coffee, or any other harmful element. Old
and young alike may drink as much as they desire with
no bad "after effects."
Puraand delicious, Instant Postum costs less and
tastes better than much of the coffee in general use.
