SOFIA SAYS FRENCH
ARE ON THE RUN
A. P, A. Service.
SOFIA, Nov. 22.—An official bulletin
issued by the government today asserts
that the Bulgarians have forced the
French forces to retreat from every
ti wn of importance in the entire Serb
ian territory with the one exception
of Ohirida which is now in the hands
of the Germans.
The French have been driven to des
perate measures in several instances,
the report declares, and have extrlcat
ed themselves from positions of dire
danger only by tremendous exertions.
The bulletin further declares that the
Bulgarians have the situation well in
hand and are confident that the French
cannot overcome the army unless
greatly reinforced.
The Germans are declared to be
making steady advances from the
north and have the Serbs at their
mercy, the latter being almost without
artillery to hold off the German as
saults. The Serbs are at present con
centrating for what is evidently a last
stand and which will probably end the
campaign on Serb territory.

ENCOUNTERS
SUBMARINE
MADRID, Nov. 21.—Dispatches from
Barcelona state that the French liner
Verona had a narrow escape from de
struction by a hostile submarine yes
terday. The escape of the vessel is at
tributed to the fortunate sighting of
the twin periscopes of the underwater j
vessel before it had approached with- |
In striking distance. The submarine
pursued the steamer for several hours

WILL DECURE WAR
ON GERMANY
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, Nov. 22.—That Italy is
preparing to take a far more active
hand in the war is indicated by the
announcement cabled today by the
Herne correspondent of the Express
who states in a cable to that journal
that it is well understood in diplomatic
circles there that Italy will shortly
issue a declaration of war against Ger
many thus paving the way for hostile
action directly against that country.
Although Italy is ostensibly at war
with Germany as an ally of Austria
tind the former has already issued a
war declaration against Italy, the lat
ter nation has declared that she was
lighting only Austria and had no in
tention of hostile action against Ger
many unless that nation should her
self assume hostilities against Italy.
The Herne correspondent asserts that
the diplomatic understanding is that
the war declaration will be forthcom
ing within a few hours. It is generally
believed that Italy is preparing to
throw her forces into the Balkan ter
ritory to relieve the other allies.

DEMOCRATS AFTER SCALP OF
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SPENCE
A. P. A. Service.
SEWARD, Nc v. 22—The Seward
Democratic Club has joined with the
clubs of Cordova and Valdez in de
manding the removal of District Attor
ney William Spence of the Third divis
ion and practically the entire demo
cratic body of the district are now hot
n the trail of the much disliked offl
clal. At a meeting of the democratic
club of this city held Saturday night
it was decided to endorse the various
| protests of the Valdez club charging i
Spence with incompetency and perni
cious activity against the democratic
I nominee for delegate to congress, B. F.
Millard.
The Cordova club also charges him
with bringing the office into disrepute
by securing political positions in this
district for his relatives. The resolu
tion of the club which has been adopt
ed here recites that Spence Is so no
toriously weak and Incompetent os to
l.e held up as a subject for ridicule.
The resolution setting forth all the
various charges has been forwarded
to President Wilson and it is believed
will result in Spence’s removal,
bpence was formerly a resident of the
! tate of Georgia, and it is generally
hoped here that he will go back again.

LONDON, Nov. 22.—The latest re
ports from the Balkan zone Indicate
that the Serbians are being heavily
pressed by the enveloping hosts of
their enemies. The Serbian line of re
treat has been further narrowed by
the taking of Sienlca by the Bulgars
while farther to the east the Germans
under von Mackensen have occupied
Raska after a savage fight in which
the Invaders suffered frightful losses.
The Serbs are being gradually push
ed back toward Montenegro as Indi
cated by the fact that Raska Is situated
but thirty seven miles from the Mon

between the French and Bulgarians in
the valley of the Vardar is reported
from Salonika but no details are avail
