SERBIANS IN SAD PLIGHT
Potltlon of Serbia li Becoming More
Desperate Daily German Armies
Are Gradually Pushing Their
Way Towaru Constantinople.
Uucharest, Roumania, Nov. 1. A
great fleet ol transports carrying Rus
sian troops for the Invasion ot Bui
garla hflB left Odessa and Bebastopol.
Tbo transports are being convoyed by
warships. . .
The Black sea coast of Bulgaria is
again being shelled by Russian -wur
ships In an effort to open up the way
for a landing." King Ferdinand s cas
t' at Euxlnograd has been bombard
ed and Bourgas has been nearly de
stroyed by tho the of the Russtan
ships.
Serbs' Peril Increases.
The position of Serbia is becoming
more desperate dally. Nish is threat
cned by the Bulgarians, while the A us
trlans and Germnns are gradually
opening the way toward the great Ser
bian arsenal at Kraguyevatz. Rome
reports that the Serbian capital has
been removed to a "certain point."
According to tho latest official re
ports from Sofia, the Serblanb are in
retreat In a westerly dlroctlon all
along the Bulgarian front Unofficial
dispatches state that a Bulgarian of
fleer commanding an advance patrol
has dined with the Austro-Gurman
staff.
The Bulgarians assert that they are
In possession of Negotln, Brza Pa
lanka, Zajecar, Kniajevats and several
villages in the Tlmok valley, which
gives them a strategical position of
primary Importance.
With the exception ot the unofficial
report that the French are now Arm
ly in possession of Strumiltsa, no news
Las been received concerning the mil
ltary movements artfliTcntente allies
The fall of Plrot and Zajecar to
gether with the Junction made by the
Austro-German and Bulgarlau forces
north of Negotln, has rendered the po
sition of the Serbians, It Ib considered
here, extremely critical. Serbian
forces near Mltrovltza and Prisbtlna
are retreating north in the direction
of Novipazar, with the purpose evi
dently of Joining the main groups of
their army in the interior, where it
Is said a stale of siege is rapidly ap
proachlng, since the Serbs are on the
verge of being completely cut off.
Serbs Fight for Zajecar.
The capture of Zajecar was of dis
tlnct benefit to the Bulgarians, as it
was of importcftice to the Serbians
both as a frontier fortress and as
railway junction. Zajecar was de
fended by a Serbian first-line division
supported by about 10,000 men of the
third reserve. The Bulgarian forces
numbered about two brigades.
The most thorough preparations for
defense bad 'been made by the Serbl
ans, wliose resistance was determined
Every mountain crest surrounding the
fortress was literally covered with
barbed-wire entanglements and other
obstacles. From these positions the
Serbians poured a terrific fire Into the
nuigarian lines.
Three outlying positions were tak
en more than a week ago, but the In
ucr line and the southern, eastern
and northern works held out until
Monday. However, the Bulgarians
succeeded In taking heavy artillery to
the top of the mountain, whence they
were able to direct their fire at the
Sorblan defenses.,'

TRENCH MAZE ABOUT TOWN
Hundreds of People Watch Desert
Awaiting the Villa Army on March
to Attack Carranza Forces at
Agua Prieta.
Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 1. Three hun
dred Villa troops were attacked and
dispersed by General Calles' outpost
at Cabullana, south of Agua 1'rleta.
Another Villa patrol west of Agua
Prieta was wiped out by Carranza
forces.
Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 1. Niggerhoad,
a black butte which rlsei out of the
desert nine miles east of bere, claims
the attention of all eyes as marking
the portal of a mountain pass through
which General Villa Is expected to
swing about 8,000 ram to attack or
besiege tbo Carranza garrison of
Agua Prieta, Sonora, opposite this
place. Besides his 8,000 soldiers.
Villa has 28 field pieces.
To oppose him Gen. K Ellas Calles,
Carranza commander, bas approxi
mately 2,700 troops, ten pieces of ar
tillery and between 30- and 50 ma
chine guns.
Unless re-enforcements coming over
American railroads via Eagle Pass ar
rive soon, they will be too late for the
opening of the battle.
U. 8. Troops on Guard.
As they sweep westward towa.d
Agua Prieta the Villa forces must pass
near an encampment of American
troops stationed hardly a mile north
the border, where Brig. Gen.
Thomas F. Davis, who assumed com
mand Friday, has about 6,000 soldiers,
with 16 three-Inch field guns. The
United States troops have definite or
ders to keep Mexican soldiers on their
own side of the international line, aud
to prevent them from shooting Into
the United States.
General Villa's army was last re
ported, 18.. mljes .southeast of Agua
Prieta, in Bernardino ' valley. 'This
placed him on a fairly easy march to
the barbed-wire entanglements front
ing General Calles' elaborate system
of defenses.
Protected by Trench Maze.
Although already oossessed of a
fairly labyrinthine system of protec
tive works, General Calles bad his
men employ their final waiting hours
adding to mazes ot trenches and re
doubts.
Not a blade ot grass grows In Agua
Prieta and dust whirls sent dancing
about by winds that constantly sweep
the treeless stretch of country, coated
the brown faces ot the soldiers as they
labored with picks and shovels under
the eyes of swarthy women and chil
dren, who fringe every Mexican mili
tary encampment
The city of Douglas extends right
down to the border line, but is sparse
ly built tor perhaps halt a mile north
from the boundary. Facing this open
pace the Carranza soldiers finished a
trench line which completed around
Agua Prieta a band ot defensive works
that extend roughly three-quarters ol
mile north and south and about a
mile and a quarter east and west.
The town itself, with Its adobe build
ings, tents, go-downs and lean to bar
racks, bousing thousands of refugees
driven in by the Villa advance, lies
within and overlooking this ellipse of
defensive works. The refugees, most
ly women and children, will be
brought over to the Urited States,
Plans also havo been made to bring
over the carranza wounded lr ino
general hospital comes under fire.
The trenches are the work ot Col.
Max Jofre. a Chilean engineer. The
three lines of defonses are fronted first
by lines of barbed-wire entanglements,
which, it Is said, can be charged with
a deadly current or electricity, lie-
yond this lie fields of mines that ex
plode- by contact of by electrically
controlled firing devices.
Two Surgeons at Hospital.
The general hospital Is located in
an adobe building, which formerly was
the post office. Here Dr. J. I. Hoi
Hngsworth, an American, and Dr. T. U
Harrison ot Toronto, Can., who just
returned from Belgium, are In charge.
The Mexican girl nursec, whose only
Insignia consists ot white cloths
wrapped in turban faBhlon about
their heads, and sit "practlcantes," or
hospital stewards, are the only as
sistants ot the surgeons.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY AS
SOCIATION FILED WITH RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION.
WOULD DESTROY COAL TRADE
Charged That Movement Originates
With Local Operators in Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
(Special Frankfort Correspondence.)
Frankfort. Resolutions adopted by
the Big Sandy Coal Operators' Asro
elation of Kentucky protesting against
a change In railroad rates on coal leav
ing Kentucky were tiled with the State
Railroad Commission. They recite
that the Baltimore & Ohio, the Chesa
peake & Ohio, the Norfolk & Western
and the Pennsylvania have asked the
Interstate Railroad Commission to in
vestigate the coal rates of tiio compa
nies carrying coal out of West Vir
ginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ken
tucky, and Increase the freight rates
eo as to differentiate the rates be
tween these states.
The resolutions say that such an In
crease would destroy the North and
Northwest trade of the coal-mine op
erators In Kentucky. The Kentucky
mine operators say that the movement
for higher rates originates with the
coal operators of Ohio and Pennsyl
vania and not with the railroads.
Kentucky Zorn Law.
For the five years prior to the or
ganization of the insurance rating
board the average rate in the United
States paid to Insurance companies
was $1.15 per $100 of insurance. In
Kentucky It was $1.33. In 1914 the re
duction for the entire country was only
8 cents, the average rate being $1.07,
whereas in Kentucky the average rate
was reduced to $1.20, or a reduction o:
13 cents per $100 insurance from the
average rate for the five-year period
prior to the appointment of the rating
board. In other words, while the aver
age rate of the United States in 1914
wag only 7 cents below the figure for
the above period, Kentucky's rate has
been reduced 13 cents, or 60 per cent
more than has been the average re
duction of the other states. The total
amount of Insurance covered by poli
cies on Kentucky properties is about
$100,000,000 annually.
Damages Are Denied.
On account ot the negligence of the
employes of two companies, the com
panies were saved the payment of
damages for personal Injuries in the
cases of J. F. Davis agaiuHt the Chesa
peake & Ohio Railroad Company, and
of Henry White against the Louisville
Gas und Electric Company. Davis was
Injured at South Portsmouth while re
pairing a water column. White was
Injured In Louisville by falling Into a
ditch while moving a wooden horse
belonging to the Gas Company, in
both cases the appellate court held
that the men had assumed the risks
they took when Injured, and held that
