COTTON 11 l-2c IDSSIA TO PUT ANOTHER MIL LION MEN SOON IN THE FIELD • (By Associated Press.) London, INov. ,19.—Invaders still ire pushing the Serbians back in the rorth, and the Serbians and Monte- legrin allies are veering toward the vest, apparently about to be forced into Albania or into eastern Monte negro. In the south it is reported that the Bulgarians have driven the Serbians from Monastir and if this is true the 3ert>ians must either enter Greece or 50 into southeastern Albania. In the extreme southeast of Serbia the French report they repulsed Bul- sarian attacks. Greece’s attitude is still unknown. There have been lively artillery en gagements in Alsace and other points on the French fronts. In the east the Germans report no change, while Petrograd claims the Germans were repulsed on the Dvina and Styr rivers. A Petrograd dispatch says that Russia is preparing to place a million of additional troops in the field. Italians are still pounding the Austrians, but liave not yet captured Gerizia.

Washington, Nov. 19.—It became known today that the United States protest to Great Britain regarding the placing of nearly all articles of commerce on the contraband list also will be sent to Germany, to Austria and to France and Italy. So far as Germany and Austria are concerned, officials agreed the protest as more or less academic, as their commerce raiders and cruisers no longer are on toetoigh seas and their seizures of contraband are limited to subma rines. In retaliation for the British orders in council, however, Germany pro mulgated a list of contraband which includes nearly all American pro ducts and it was decided to send vir tually identical notes to all the prin cipal belligerents. The note, now nearly completed, discusses practices regarding contra band before the war and makes par ticular objection to declaring goods contraband merely as a matter of re taliation. It is understood the note objects to seizure of American goods, even though contraband, when des tined for consumption in a neutral country.

MEASURE. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 19.—The house spent the entire morning session try ing to get on common ground on the Western and Atlantic re-leasing prob lem, and, though It would appear from the mass of diversified ideas convey ed in suostitutes and ' amendments that the situation is an untangleable maze, the unwieldy body is really gradually drawing to a common un derstanding. When adjournment was taken at 1 o’clock it appeared a cer tainty that, before the dawn of an other day toe only other legislation which Governor Harris has all the time held to he essential for an ex tra session, in addition to toe appro priations bill, will have gotten the final vote of the house. Though a resolution offered this morning by Mr. Conner of Spalding (By Associated Press.) New Orleans, Nov. 19.—Vincent Moreci, sixty, prominent in the affairs of the Italian colony here for many years and head of numerous organiza tions of his countrymen, was assas> sinated early today near his home in the Italian quarter. The police are working on a theory that it was the result of black-hand plot and it was said they expected arrests soon. Two sawed off shot guns and one revolver were found near the body. Morcei rendered the authorities val uable assistance eight years ago in the prosecution of kidnapers of Wal ter Lamana, the son of a wealthy Italian here, whose decomposed body was found in the canal after his par ents refused to pay a large ransom. One of toe kidnapers was executed, five others, two of them women, were sentenced for life. About three years ago Moreci was ambushed and seriously wounded, Poul D3 Christina, suspected of shoot ing Moreci, was killed soon after wards.

There are not anything like that many bills and substitutes, of course, but there were on toe speaker’s desk at the time of the noon adjournment some six or eight bills and something in the neighbor hood of thirty substitutes. livery one of them, though, represented somebody’s idea on the subject, and It is wall founded to say that prac tically every bill and substitute is the result of thought, deliberation and in- the belief that it will bring the best results to the state. Advocates of the bill providing for participation by the members of the house and the senate—three from the house and tw-a from toe senate— still adhere to the belief that they are right, and yet the one thing that the house made virtually conclusive this forenoon, before the debate had neared its end, was that its majority does not believe that kind of a com mission is the right kind. Even, more conclusive, and probably the' only definite indication, is that the entire house believes the principal factors in the composition of any commission to handle the re-leasing of the road shall and ought to be the governor of the state and the chair- roan of the railroad commission. In deed, there was pending at 1 o’clock, one bill as a substitute for the whole, and at least three amendments, which would tcompose the Committee of those two gentlemen and one citizen at large to be selected and appointed by the governor and the chairman of the railroad commission. That some form of commission which does not carry legislative rep resentation in its composition would be more preferable to the heads of
