SERBIANS CLAIM BULGARIANS
REPULSED WITH IMMENSE LOSS
I
SERBIANS BEAT Bl’LGAIiS
ATHENS, Nov. 23—The Serbian general staff has
officially announced that the Bulgarians have been re
pulsed in southern Serbia and that the Seths have te
captured Yeles on the I’rilep front. This announcement
is taken as indicating tiiat the Bulgarians did not win the
great victory with which they were credited at Monastir
and that they have by no means broken down the Serbian
resistance in that quarter.
—
10.000 BUIXJAUS LOST
LONDON. Nov. 23.—Ten thousand Bulgarians were
killed and wounded at the battle ot Momlstir, accoiding;
to the reports from Saloniki. and the struggle is described
as one of the greatest of the war. with the possible ex
ception of one or two offensive movements of a general,
nature. It is now claimed that instead ot a victory for j
the Bulgarians the battle resulted in a very serious re-j
pulse for them, especially in the attack made last Sunday:
when the loss of life in the ranks ot tne ituadeis wasi
frightful. The city of Prilep, northeast ol Monastir, is;
reported in flames and the destruction ot the place is pre
sumably due to the Bulgarians.
MUNITIONS FOR TURKS
BUCHAREST. Nov. 23.—Fourteen hundred carloads
of munitions have been landed by the Germans at a Bul
garian port on the river Danube and will be transported
thence direct by rail to t onstautmople for the use of the
Turkish army.' Included in the supplies are two forty-two
centimetre guns which, it is supposed, will he used against
the allied fleets and transports. The Danube is now being
used very much by the Teutons as they can use the cur
rent of the stream to float down heavy supplies neat the
heart of Bulgaria and much closer to the lurkish capital
without using railroads.
CAPTURE MANY SERBIANS
BERLIN, Nov. 23.—The Austro-Germans have made
a new capture of nine' thousand li\ e hunchi>ei bians^nnd
this is the largest single capture since the beginning of tne
invasion of Serbia. Owing to the comparative smallness
of the country the Serbians are unable to ascape outflank
ing movements as the Russians did and the tesult is tii.,t
they are being cornered fast notwithstanding the (des
perate struggle which they continue to make.
GREECE NOT TO AID TEUTONS
LONDON, Nov. 23.—The British authorities are not'
perfectly convinced that Greece has yielded sufficiently
to the pressure of the allied nations to insure that she
will not participate in the war on the side of the central
alliance. There is no hope held out that she will join the
entente alliance but it is felt that coercion to compel her
to remain neutral will not be necessary.
THREE battles in air
PARIS, Nov. 23.—Three thrilling air duels arc re
ported from the region of the Argonne and Champagne.
At the beginning of the fourth attack the Germans tried
to descend. One German was disabled in the attempt but
escaped to his own lines. Two others were shot down and
another escaped with his machine wrapped in flames.
The airships fought as knights tilted in the days of old,
charging each other, turning and charging again and fil
ing as thev drew close and passed each other b\. Three
distinct fights took place in this manner._

SCHOOLS IN DARKNESS
AS NCL POLES ARE I P
The public school is now in dark
ness because no poles have been erect
ed for the carrying of wires in that
direction. Some time ago President
Graff of the Electric company asked
for permission to erect poles over
there but the council refused and the
franchise was not passed in time to
permit of the work being done under
favorable conditions. The company
says now that all the old poles are
frozen in the ground and quite a delay
is caused to the efforts to get new
poles. The company also claims that
the council is delaying unnecessarily
the passing of ordinances providfng
for certain things that are regarded
as necessary to permit the Company
to go ahead with the work under the
j new franchise.

ROASTS SI FFRAGETTES
TO THEIR VERY FACES
Congressman Says Women Sell Their
Votes for Theatre Tickets and
Cannot he Trusted.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2:’..—Bearding the
lion in his den would be a mild per
formance compared to the action^of
Congressman Meeker here last night
when he told a meeting of suffragists
to their faces that women are not
fitted for political life and that they
would serve their own interests best
by trusting men entirely to legislate
for them. The congressman handled
the subject without gloves! and made
no bones about it. He went the
length of declaring that he knew of
one woman who has sold her vote for
fifty dollars and that her example
was by no means an isolated one. He
further asserted that society women
have been selling their votes for
theatre tickets, not because they were
dishonest but because they did not
understand the significance of a vote
while they regarded theatre tickets
as the be-all and end-all of existence.
The congressman received a respect
ful hearing notwithstanding his
severe strictures on the political wo
man. He told them positively that
men had been cut out for politics and
that they could legislate for women
better than the women themselves.

THE CORDOVA DEMOCRATS
RECOMMEND POSTMASTER
Ask for ApiH>intment of Publisher of
Paper that Roasted the Stuff
ing Out of Inspector.
CORDOVA, Nov. 23.—The Cordova
Democratic Club has passed a resolu
tion endorsing Charles Scheffler, a
member of the Democratic territorial
committee and one of the publishers
of the Daily Times, as its choice for
postmaster to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of the present in
cumbent.
Harry Steele is the “present in
cumbent” and is also one of the pub
lishers of the Cordova Daily Times.
The remarkable fact about the en
dorsement of another publisher of the
Times is that the Times recently at
tacked, rather vulgarly and very
savagely, Postal Inspector Neil. be
cause of whose ruling Harry Steele
quit the. postmastership. It will be
interesting to note whether the De
«
partment will appoint a publisher of
a paper that insulted and attacked
the inspector.

OLYMPIA, Wash., NoV. 23.—One
of the biggest sensations in the his
tor of this state has been created by
the discovery of the fact that the
looters of the Industrial Insurance
Commission fund have been financing
a gigantic ring of "dope” smugglers.

has been precipitated by the discovery
of the forgeries of warrants of the
commission. It was learned last
evening that J. F. Gillies, who has
been for four years the claim agent
of the commission, has been sum
marily dismissed without the giving
of any reason. It is now also learned
that Former Chief of Police Hall
