Nov. 17, Noon. The rate of the Serbian army may be only a matter of hours. Monastir. In Southwest Serbia, is reported to be In such a perilous position that the J consular officials have departed from I the city. From the various conflicting ' reports which have reached the public j the following apparently may be de- j duced as facts: The Bulgarians have taken Krusevo | and are six miles west of Perlepe. j Thus the southern Serbian army and . its Franco-British allies are confronted • with the imminent peril of an out- ■ flanking movement. Tetovo is In ths hands of the Bui- : irarians. The fate of the Serbians holding | Babuna Pass is more obscure. One 1 report states that the pass has been ™ forced. It seems certain that the de fenders are at least threatened so seri ously that their position soon may be | untenable. With Krusevo and Babuna in the i hands of the invaders, the fate of Per- j lepe would be sealed and the road to i Monastir opened. While the military situation becomes ' darker from the standpoint of the i entente allies, the diplomatic phase of I the Near Eastern venture is somewhat more favorable. Greece is giving some I indication that she is seeking a solu- ; tion of the problem which would be ; presented if entente troops should take i refuge on Grecian territory. It is clear that the entente powers j are bringing considerable pressure to j bear on Greece, not the least of which is England's detention In home ports j a _ feet of Greek merchantmen. I Greek shipping is makine enormous , profits out of the war. and even a tem porary check to its activities would ' mean a great loss. Along the eastern front interest cen ters on the attempted recrossing of the Styr. where the Austrians and Ger- I mans claim an important success. Pe- ' trograd reports merely admit Austro- I '.ermnr occupation of the village of! Podgacin about flvc- miles from the 1 river, ar-1 a slight advance east of that I place, it f s asserted the advantage ' gained b v the Teutonic forces in this ' region is due to the arrival of rein- j forcenients from other sections of the I eastern front and heavy artillery ! brought up by railroad. From the 1 conflicting reports It mav be seen that I the eastern bank of the Stvr is held ' hv the Russians, while the battle Is! still undecided.

Nov. 17. —Chicago is ab- I sorbed In a controversy between the | Illinois Humane Society and the Ger man-American Hospital, one of the leading institutions of its kind In this city, in which the life of a 4-day-old infant is at stake. ! The baby is a boy and is reported to |be a defective. In a few days, possi -1 bly a week, it is scheduled to die be i cause the attending physician. Dr. H. |J. Haiselden, so decrees. Even the : mother, weeping, is willing to have | her baby die. j Dr. Haiselden declares that the | baby's life can be saved by an opera | tion, but since the parents have left the matter to him he has had the courage to decide that it shall not add its weight to the already large burden of defectives in the world. Parents Willing "I'm doing what the parents have given me option on doing, and what it j would take a pretty stiff argument to i keep me from doing. I'm allowing na iture to take her course with the child. IWe are feeding it some. The child Is sensible only to discomfort. There is J no brain development to register suf j fering. And pretty soon nature will l make blank her mistake." | "Do you think what you are doing ; is freqently done?" "Many times—but quietly. Many I things go on in the medical business, I which are done solely for good, but | which might be condemned by so-call ed moralists and self-named saviours. "Taking Chance" With Death "I know of cases of disease for which there could be no hope of a cure. I know of such a case in which the physician, having given a half grain of morphine to subdue frightful pain took a chance at either relief through temporary unconsciousness by administering another half grain or death—and death won. But the phy sician did not purposely cause death. He could not tell what the drug would do." The mother of the baby in to-day's case said in a voice faint but deter mined: "I've given the doctor permission to do as he wishes with my baby. I don't want it to live. I want it to die. Dy ing now is better than living with a, crippled brain and body. I wouldn't < visit such suffering upon myself or my husband, and surely not upon my own ! child. I wish death would come soon to it." $ 10,000 Campaign For New Ambulance Is Now Well Under Way Superintendent William M.

Several sites In Cumberland county have been suggested together with one near Fort Hunter, while some of the old-ttmers favor retaining the present site, which Is, however, gen erally regarded as too small for the purpose of the club and in line of the growth of population to an extent that j destroys the seclusion which is the '.rreat charm of a country club. For some time owing to the great, popularity of the club its golf links and tennis courts have been in- 1 adequate to provide amusement for j all of the members on many days, es- ' peclally Saturdays nnd holidays and the clubhouse has been taxed by some of the entertainments given in it.
