—City is Doomed.
London, March 17.—Montencg-j
rins and Servians attacked the !
Turks at Scutari, mowing them
down like wheat, and killing and
wounding thousands. The big
siege guns of the Servians have
also been planted and are con
stantly pouring shot and shell in
to the doomed city. Every sortie
made by the Turks has been re-j
pulsed.
The machine guns were planted
near (he city during the night un
der. the protection of ttie heavy
canonading of the big guns, and
in the' morning they were able
to rake the Turks from the new
position. All efforts to dislodge
Ihcni failed.
The Servians have paid no heed
lo the ultimatum of Austria that
she must not aid the Montencg- ■
Tins in the capture of Scutari. j

II is feared that Austria and

disposition lo demobilize her
troops on the Austrian border.
It is estimated that Russia has
over three-quarters of a million
men under arms within striking
distance of Austria, and the Rus

Slavs, who are of their religious

ing to Toronto to start a clinic,
Jias returned here to inoculate 12
more persons. The medical fra
ternity, however, will wait until
he has demonstrated the value of
his serum before they will aid
him in his work. (His refusal to
give either the government or
the city authorities his serum, or
allow them to make tests with it,
has cost him the friendship of the
New York Medical Society, who
refuse longer to treat with the,
German doctor.
They refuse to allow themselves
to aid the advertising scheme of
Dr. Friedman, who has virtually
yoined money since his arrival
Here.
Friedman'says he will convince
the doctors here. The doctors
claim: that even, if his serum is
all that he claims for it, his meth
ods are reprehensible.
