WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. (Special Tele
gram.) If Senator Hitchcock can bring
about a compromise over the everlasting
collectorship succession he will do It to
morrow. Hoss Hammond's letter to the
senator indicating that he wanted to be
relieved of his bond or reappointed to
the potation (which he resigned to enter
the primaries fur the republican nomlna-
i '.Ion for governor) brought the senator
face to face with a proposition that has
been pending for months..
Senator Hitchcock said tonight that he
would have a talk with Secretary McAdoo
tomorrow, and he hoped the compromise
he had proposed to , Secretary Bryand

Dahlman be made collector and Chris
Gruenther marshal,. , .

vita Is a sort of frontier point of the '
Balkan. It wns foi'iulcd by the Komaii
and tailed Hiuvrur.i. for 110 good reason. ;
It has a wide front on th Save river and '
many ducks. All thin lends tn a stranae ,
chapter in the operations amiiiiHt the
Servian army and has to do with the end
of the Perh tlmik divlnion of I7,i men.
Carrier pigeons have played a prominent
part In many wars. Mriny n belBKUied j
city has risked for relief through them.
But the duck ennnot be said heretofore
to have served other military purposes
than to glndden the stomach of some
foraging soldier. In the llalkana, how
ever, they have strange Ideas, It Is said. '
So when Servian spies at Austrian Mltro- !
vita needed a means that would convey
certain military Information of lmort
ance to the troops in Servian Mltrovltx,
right across the broad and deep Save,
they decided to employ ducks.
Ferry Destroyed.
The "ferry across the river had been
destroyed. The banks of the river were
carefully patrolled and watched by the
Austro-Kunganans, and how to get In
formation to tho other side was a problem
over which the spies at Austrian Mltro
vltx ponder?d long. The only creature
that could show Itself on the river was a
duck. But ducka have a habit of re.
mainlng near their habitat and for thla
reason were not suited' to the rorrying
of messages.
However, the Servians needed Informa
tion on the strength of the Austro-Hun-gsrlan
force In Austrian Mltrovltx. and
since thla force kept moving up and down
the river in and out of the elty It waa
desirable to have thla Informotion every
day. So the spies decided on an Ingen
ious scheme. Each duck to be seen on
the river represented a company o( Aua-tre-Hungarian
troopa.. When the ducks
Were east of the 'ferry It meant that the
decrease or increase In number of Austro
Hungariana at Mltrovltx waa due to the
arrival of troops from, or deparaure to
the east. ' The aame applied to ducka seen
west of the ferry.
Twenty-Two Docks Seen.
Tims, If on a certain day twenty-two
ducks were seen west ot the ferry by
the Servian observers, but only fourteen
In the aame apot on the following day, It
meant that eight companies had marched
out of Mltrovltx In a westerly direction.
Departures were announced In the morn
ing and arrivals In the afternoon, this
arrangement permitting an accurate sys
tem of field Intelligence.
In some manner the Austro-Hungarlana
learned of the mission of the ducka and
bought up every one they could find.
Some of the officers favored the arrest
of those Serbs, who violently protested
against the transfer of ownership, but
the officer in command thought this
would ruin hla plana.
Thereafter the ducka continued to enloy
their swim on the river. But thla tlne
the Austiians determined the number of
birds that weru to be given this privi
lege. It la asserted here that the number
of ducks on the water waa woefully out
of keeping with the number of Austro.
Hungartan soldiers In Austrian Mltrovlta
and that In this manner the Servian army
waa often deceived.
No Birds Appear.
But one day no ducks appeared on the
Save. The AUstro-Hungarlan troops had
evacuated Mltrovlta that night, some
moving up and some down the li-a,-. it
waa for aome such signal that the com-
nianuer or tne nmok division had been
waiting.
That evening he took hla force across
the river, occupied aome territory five
kilometers west of Mltrovlta and was
banqueted that night by the Austrian
Serbs.
Toward morning In the still gray dawn
when man'a vitality Is lowest, as the sa
vants assert, and when banqueters are
not supposed to be In the best trim for
fighting, the Austro-Hungarian troops de
scended upon the Tlmok division and fin
ished the career of one of Servia'a moat
famous military organization, killing
many, leading away some 14,000 captives
and taking much loot.
Such la tne history of the battle o. Mlt
rovlta on September 4. Even the Serbs
here smile when they think o It. There
is an order now that no ducks may be
permitted to swim on th Sav.

War News
Revemei for Turkey at the
hands of Russia on land and of
Kngland on the soa were chroni
cled in today's official war dis
patches. Russian army head
quarters in the Caucasus reports
that the Turks, whose strong re
sistance to the invaders from the
north compelled them to retreat,
are being pursued beyond the Eu
phrates river. The British ad
miralty announces that the old
Turkish battleship Messudleh,
which carried 600 men, hae been
destroyed by a nrltlsh submarine.
The recent successes of the
Servians, partly confirmed from
Rerlln, are said at Nlxh to have
been exhausted. It le asserted
that the Austrtans have been una
ble to check their retreat before
the advancing Servians, who are
sweeping them out of their coun
try. Vigorous thrutits at the German
line In KYance were made again
yentorday by the allies, but the
reports of buccprhcb In today's
official statement from Tsrls are
not borne out by the Berlin com
munication. There hsve been no Important
changes in the cast, according to
the German statement. Dis
patches from Petrograd, however,
assert that the Russians have
definitely thrown back the Ger
man column, which was attempt
ing to strike at Warsaw from the
north.
The French War office an
nounces that in Servla further
successes have been won against
the Austrlans, and In the Monte
negrin campaign, which has al
most been lost sight of recently,
the Austrian have suffered a reverse.

operation la being deferred owing to the

Heportx more or less alarming of the

Influenxa, catarrh of the throat and
nervous breakdown. The latter part of
last week the reports had a more hope

recovering and soon would tie able to go
to the front a.aln.
Last night a dispatch reached New York
from Basel by way of Ixjiulon, saying the
emperor might be obllsod.to undergo an
