TEUTONS RUSHING ON
Heavily Beset on Three Sides By
Large Austro-German Forces
• -
. PARIS, Oct. 16—Distressing re
ports are constantly being received
depicting the situations that sur
- round the Serbians. One of the re
ports says that they are beset on
three sides and that unless re-en
forcements reach them soon, the
Teutons will soon make their way
through to Constantinople, their ob
jective point.
The turn of affairs is said to have
caused uneasiness among the offic
ials, which may hasten the re-en
forcements promised to the Serbians.

Word has just been received via
Wrangell of a serious fire at tlx
