BRITONS LEARN SERB POSITION VERY CRITICAL Northern Army'i Position Such that it Cannot Withstand Combined Attacks for Much Longer Time. STATEMENT IN HOUSE OF LORDS Discussion Indicates Disappointment Over Campaign of Allies in Balkans. QUESTIONS BY EARL LOREBURN nrM.KTiir. ATHENS, Oct. 26. An official dispatch announces that the Serbians have recaptured the town of Veles, on the railroad southeast ot I'Bkup, after desperate fighting. LONDON. Oct. 26. Replying to a Question by Earl Loreburn In the House of Lords this afternoon as to the progress of the campaign in the Balkans, tho Marquis of Lansdowne, the unionist leader, who holds a seat In the cabinet without portfolio, said: "I must say with great regret I am afraid we must admit that the prog ress of the campaign in nothern Serbia has been such as to render it highly impossible that the Serbian army will be able to withstand for any great length of time the. attacks to which It is exposed from the Aus-tro-Oerman forces on the north, aided by the stab in the back, which Serbia is receiving at the hands of Bulgaria." Karl Loreburn had asked whether the dlnpatch of troops to Balonlkl had been determined upon with the approval of the navah and military advisors, and whether the g-overnment could give as surance that full provision had been made for the communications of this force and for its supply of men and material to the satisfaction of the naval and military ex perts. Earl loreburn said he understood the government's desire was that the matter should not be debated at the pres ent time but that there was a reason for asking the question. Dardanelles Project Disappointing;. "We are disappointed In the rar danelles enterprise," the sari continued, tandh9 adlod that he did no wow whetner mai enterprise nau wu- X menced with or without the advice ot the naval and military authorities, and one could not help asking whether this new venture would be a repetition of that. The greatest danger from which this country could . suffer, the speaker said, was unpreparedness and Indecision. The marquis of Lansdowne explained that there were moments when it was not in the public Interest that questions relating to the war should be freely dis cussed in I'arliamont, as the effect on both the allies and their enemies had to be considered. . He declared, however, that he could assure Karl Loreburn that npl,,- i ,h nresent lovcrnmcnt or any I government of which he had been a mem- ber had It been the practice or habit of amateur strategists to Impose their plans upon the professional advisers of the gov ernment. With the present government, the mar quis of Landowne continued, it was un likely that anything of the kind could occur. Karl Kitchener, minister of war, was present at every cabinet meeting and it was impossible to suppose that he would allow himself to be deflected from his course by the pressure ot his civilian colleagues.

Silk Underwear And Silk Hosiery TTlft AmVllHnTl Unm IllO iiilUltlUii llUYV The desire of all young people for ex cessive pleasure and extravagant dress la at the bottom of the great social and Industrial unrest, according to the cur rent toplca department of the Woman's club. The report of the federal Industrial commission was discussed by the club women Tuesday afternoon. "The desire to get more money for one's own gratification rather than con sideration for the needs of fellowmen Is the cause of the unrest," asserted Mrs. Mary I. Crelgh, leader of the depart ment. "Our grandmother was satisfied with one silk dress; today, a young woman is dissatisfied unless she has silk under- wear, silk hosiery and five or six silk dresses." "Yu can't blame the women for all that, Mra. Crelgh. The men are Just as bad," suggested Mrs. E. K. Htanfleld. "Maybe we set the example," waa Mrs. Crelgh'. response. To avoid friction in the department, I the Bible study which was inaugurated i as a result of the "Billy" Sunday cam paign, will dial with Old Testament characters, rather than beginning with Acts, which Is the starting point for hundred, of Bible classes all over the city. Mrs. Crelgh pointed out that some mem- i ber. of the club do not accept the Bible a. part of their religion and that there are a number of Jewish women In the club.

Prevent Conjunc tion of Bulgarians and the Teutons. ITALY POUNDS AUSTRIAN FRONT Activity Expected to Prevent Send- wg Reinforcements to Aid Bul garian Army. RUSSIA BUSY IN NORTHEAST LONDON, Oct. 26. The race for the road to Constantlnnnln has reached an exciting stage. The Bul garians are within a few miles ot forming a Junction with their Austro German allies, while the French In small force already have Joined the Serbians. The French are not yet In suffi cient numbers to assume an actual offensive In Macedonia, but the rapidity of the Bulgarian advance In that region already has diminished. Along the old Bulgarian frontier, from a point northeast of Vranya to the Roumanian border, the Serbians are yielding little ground. Actual Junction between the BulBarlans and their allies, which may be a matter of only a few hours, will soon show whether the Porblans are able to hold their mountain positions until the entente alllea bring up strong forces. Italy Is still hammering away at the Austrian front, which Is shaken, but un broken. It is expected In London that the Italian offensive will at least prevent tha Austrlana from reinforcing their Balkan army, Russia, by Its stubborn defense of Riga and Dvlnsk and Its continued offensive In Qallcla, la keeping Its opponents en gaged busily along tha whole eastern front. In the west there la evidence that the entente allies are again preparing for an offensive, which may prevent the Oor mans from diverting any of their forces thera. Halararlana Csstsr Two titles.
