AUSTRIANS CAPTURE SERVIAN CAPITAL AFTER BATTLE ON KOLUBARA RIVER. ]
1
Austrian troops have occupied Belgrade, which «u evacuated <m Monday by the Servians. Communi- 1
cation with Nieh, the temporary capital, is cut off. This la the culmination of a campaign which began early <
last month, when the Austrian® crossed the Drina River, which forma the northwestern Servian boundary, J
and, advancing from Shabats and Krupany with continuous fighting, finally crossed the Kolubara River, <
extending their lines at the same time both south and north, until they finally reached Belgrade. This J

side and from monitors in the Danube. - j
DE WET. REBEL LEADER IN
SOUTHAFRICA, LIABLE TO
TREASON DEATfI PENALTY
London, Dec. 4, 2.50 A. M. —Tht»
question as to what punishment should
be inflicted on General Christian De
Wet, the rebel leader in South Africa,
recently captured, is recognized in Eng
land as one of great importance. Mar
tial law is in operation in the Union
of South Africa and the death penalty
for treason would be within the possi
bilities. The government proclamation
calling upon rebels to lay down their
arms offered amnesty, except to those
who had taken a prominent part in
the rebellion.
Cape Town messages say that the
capture of Re Wet relieves the govern
ment of great anxiety. The rising in
the Orange Free State at one time
threatened to be formidable because of
General De Wet's military prestige, but
his capture is believed to have ended
it.
The happenings at one town give an
illustration of the lengths to which the
rebellion might have gone. Five hun
dred farmers were comn;andeered to de
fend the town, but a majority of them
went over to the rebels and looted the
place they had been ealled upon to de
fend.
But for the introduction of motors
into warfare, De Wet's old-time tactics
might have enabled him to dodge his
ei f mies and worry them indefinitely.
The Johannesburg Motor organ
ized a force undfr Captain Bullock,
whieQi undertook the pursuit and Gen
eral De Wet's horsemen were run to
earth by the. superior speed of the mo
tors. . .
London, Dec,. 4. —General Christian
De Wet's fate will !be decided by the
South African government, but the de
mand is being raised in the Unionist
press that he shall be made to suffer
the rcibel's fate. The ''Pall Mall Ga
zette" savs:
"His signature to the treaty of Ve-1
reeniging pledged his loyalty to the
flag in exchange for clemency. He has
shown ingratitude for the generosity of
the empire, has basely broken his own
engagement and done South Africa the
injury of iene\ving those ravages of
warfare from which she ha-; taken so
long to recover. There can be no pity
for his fall."
The "St. James Gazette" sava:
"The charitable must suppose he was
radically upset by the paralytic seizure
he suffered a year or two ago. To
condone his conduct on these considera
tions -would be foolish. A traitor is a
traitor."
The "Globe" declares:
"It is right to say that De Wet's
life is forfeit and we trust lie will re
ceive due punishment for his treach
ery."
TYPHOID FEVER IN BELGIAN
ARMY VIGOROUSLY ATTACKED
London, Dec. 4, 4.29 A. M.—The
British medical authorities are vigor
ously attacking the problem of a ty
phoid outbreak in the Belgian army.
■Orders have been issiied assigning a
ship for duty as a floating hospital in
the harbor of Calais.
To-day Major Stedroan, who is in
charge of the anti-typhoid campaign,
will select a site in Calais for an isola
tion hospital on land. As soon as pos
sible this equipment will be supple
mented by the erection of a number of
■waterproof shelters as isolation units.
The floating hospital will foe supple
mented iby a number of barges.
A thorough inquiry is in progress re
garding the water supply and sanita
tion with a view of stamping out the
source of the epidemic.
Asks Funds for Prisoners
Washington, Dec. 4.—An appeal for
funds for German and Auutro-HungaT
van war prisoners in Siberia Who are
said to be suffering greaitlv, was for
warded to 'tlve Foreign Office at Vienna
yesterday by tlhe Stale Department ait
the request of the
eirtbassy here. No official report has
came to the United States as to the con
dition in 'tlhe Siberia camps. American
representatives have reported on condi
tions in Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Auirtria and Hungary.
A man's task is always liglit if his
heart is light.—Lew Wallace.
WAR MAKES CENI TRADE
THE'LOWEST FOR YEARS
New York, Deo. 4.—Because of the
war the gem imports to the United
States for 1914 will be the smallest in
many years. According to an estimate
made by a Maiden Lane authority, they
svill not reaah $20,000,000 —less than
ore-half of the total in a normal year,
figures compiled by William B. Tread
well, jewelry examiner at the Apprais
ers Stores in this city, show that the
gem imports foi the first eleven months
at the port of New York totalled only
$16,208,679. It is estimated that j
about four-fifths of the receipts for
the entire country come through this
pert. The total imports for 1913
reached $46,137,325, and in 1912 the
total was $40,571,543.
Gem cutting is practically at a
standstill in Amsterdam and Antwerp,
the two big European centers of this
industry. All of the Antwerp cutters
are in the army and the cutting shops
of Amsterdam are closed because no
rough material can bo obtained from
the diamond syndicate in London,
whicfli receives its supply from the Af
rican mines, where operations have ibeen
discontinued.
As a result of these conditions the
gem imports during November were
only $1,039,213 The cut gems were
valued at $855,010 and the uncut
gems, dutiable at 10 per cent, under
the new tariff, reached $169,913. The
uDcut materia! free of duty, which is
mostly miners' and glaziers' diamonds,
usod in the arts and crafts, was valued
at $14,308. In Octdber the total im
ports were only $432,729, and in Sep
tember they were $584,334. Prior to
that time the receipts <vere niore than
$1,000,000 in each month.
Since the war began officials of the
American Jewelers' Protective 'Asso
ciation have learned that foreign deal
ers have been offering diamonds in the
Now York market that had been im
ported in bond and have offered to
take possible buyers to bonded ware
houses to see the gems. In view of the
advantages thus obtained by foreign
dealers over domestic importers and be
cause there was a possibility of veiling
big smuggling operations the mutter
was put before the Treasury Depart
ment and it will refuse hereafter to
permit prospective buyers to inspect
gems in bond.
Ludwig Nissen, president of the
American Jewelers' Protective Aeso-
I ciation, said regarding recent stories
that ibecause of the European war New
! York may become the center of the
j world's precious stone trade that ''such
i a condition is impossible because the
• duty on cut and uneut gems would pro
i hibit it."
FRENCH GOVERNMENT GOING
BACK TO PARIS DECEMBER 22
Paris, Dee. 4.—The Frer.'di Parlia
ment has boon called to meet in extra
ordinary sesfiion ait Paris on December
22. The mear.'bers of the French Cab
inet are to leave Bordeaux next week
for this city, where I'hey 'Will put them
selves at the disposition of tihe Finance
committee of the Chamber of Deputies.
There have 'been several reports dur
ing the pastl month that the French gov
ernment, which was 'transferred from
Paris to 'Bordeaux in the early part of
September, was about to return to Paris
ami resume there its functions. The
foregoing dispatch is t'he first official
announcement that the administration
is to return. Previous reports have said
unofficially that Parliament would moet
the latter part of December to 'pass
emergency laws.
HOTELS HOLD THE WOUNDED:
OFFICERS ARE CONSPICUOUS
London, Dec. 4.—Although it is weflll
known that the guards anil regiments
have suffered heavy losses, the fact was
conclusively illustrated huJt night, when
an official of a woll-known hotel, speak
ing to some American guests who had
remarked on t'he number of wounded
officers in tihe dining room, takl:
"By actual count I know that thirty
officers of the guards who regularly
dined here have 'been killed."
Although wounded officers appear
only in civilian clothes, they can easily
'be dis'tinguished in a dining room be
, cause of bandaged heads or arms in
slings.
PRINCE OF WALES. WITH
THE ARMY. HAS OBTAINED
DEAREST WISH OF HEART
London, Dee. 4, 4.25 A. M. —"The
Prince of Wales has at last obtained
the dearest wish of his heart and is
present with the army. He has won
golden opinions," says the military ex
pert of the "Times" in a description of
the life at General French's headquar
ters.
"The personality of this slight and
almost fragile-looking Prince was but
little known to the army until he joined
it and now that it is becoming known it
is a revelation. He is among the keen
est and hardest soldiers in the army,
lie walks six miles before breakfast
every morning, drives his own car and
spends every moment of the working
day in acquainting himself with the
situation ol' the troops nad the services
of the army.
"Only last week he occupied a fitting
cradle for a prince, a house rocking
and shaking day and night under the
■constant detonations of bombardments,
and has visited the trenches, including
those of the Indian army. It will be
difficult to keep him out of the firing
line of his grenadiers, and a more zeal
ous, indefatigable young officer does
not serve with the King's troops."
The writer says that, while it is nec
essary for the commander of an army
to work in the quiet lieadquartors be
hind the army, often General French
cannot fee prevented from dashing along
the road under heavy fire to visit dis
tant troops and going into the trenches
to get a close view of the infantry po
sitions.

The Mocking Bird
Because of its incomparable medleys
anil imitative powers the mocking 'bird
is the most renowned singer of the
western 'hemisphere. Its place in the
affectious of the south is similar to that
occupied by the rohin in the north.
It is well t'hat this is true, for the 'bird
appears not to deserve protection strict
ly from an economic standpoint. About
half of its diet consists of fruit ami
many cultivated varieties, such as or
anges, grapes, figs, strawberries, black
■berries and raspberries, are attacked.
One-fourth of its food is animal mat

ITALY PREMIER'S WORDS
CLOSE TO DECLARING WAR
Rome, Doc. 4.—Many member* of
Parliament consider tihat the statement
of Premier Salandra in Parliament yes
terday in which he advised that Jtaly
maintain her attitude of watchful and.
armed neutrality ami made a reference
to what he termed the just aspirations
of Italy, together with a demonstration
'by the members, means tliait Italy is
now ready.
Deputy Lalbriola, a prominent mem
ber, summarized his opinion of the sit
ting 'by saying that "one word more
from Salandra would have meant a
declaration of war."
Others think that the phrase of the
Premier regarding the aspirations of
Italy was misunderstood and that he
might instead have alludeji to tlie ex
istence of an Italo-Austrian agreement
delimitating the ItaJian frontier 'by the
pcaret'ul annexation of a portion of the
province of Trent.
