sion to-day. Among the matters

LONDON, Oct. . ~Belgrade, former
capitgl of Serbia, 1s reported In dis
‘Mh'hn trom Amsterdam to have been
captured by the German and Aus
tro-Hungarian army of invasion,
Batties continue on Serb woll al!
along the Danube, Save and Drina
tronts, \
The Serdb army, officered by Freach
and British and furnished with guuns
by the Allies, is vigorously contesting
every step of the Teutonic advance
Dispatches from Berlin and Nish in
dicate that so far only the advance
guards of the opposing nrl;\iks have
clashed. and that the main armies
have not yet come Lo ETips Strong
lines of forts have been constructed
by the Serbs under the guidance of
British and French engineers in the
mountains, and these must be stormed
before the Teutons can advance into
the inlerior of Serbia
It is admitted by the Serbian War
Office that the Teutonic armies of
invasion have effected five crossings
of the rivers forming the northern and
northweste§n boundaries of Serbia,
but the gaining of a foothold on Serb
territory has cost the Germans and
Serbians severely.
Berlin reports satisfactory progress
for the armies of invasion in the Bal
kan theater, while Vienna claims that
Serbian counter attacks were all re
pulsed. E
Military experts, in writing of the
great offensive in the Balkans, raise
these questions:
Is the Serbian invasion to be the
counterpart of the German advance
through Belgium?
Is the Austro-German drive toward
Nish, the Serb capital, to afford a
parallel to the case ofy Brussels?
As was the case with Belgium, stern
resistance is being made by the army
of the Serb kingdom, but in Serbia
every man is a soldier. Belgium is
laced with railway lines and dotted
with fowns and cities; Serbla is a
wild mountainous country, thinly
populated- and already scarred by
warfare. There are few railways in
Serbia, and the mountain highways
are narrow, poorly made and usually
impassable by reason of deep mud.
Brussels is a modern city, with a
population of a quarter of a million.
In addition to its twentieth century
.buildlngs, it has many ancient struc
tures, whose history is linked with the
history of the progress of civilization
in Europe.
Nish is a medieval town, the smost
of whose buildings are old, and many
are dilapidated. It is inhabited main
ly by soldiers. The population is less
than 22,000. The Belgian authorities
voluntarily gave up Brussels, but Nish
probably will stand out to the last. |

Second Frostls
Due to Fall
T .
~ To-night
Atlanta had its first frost of the
season Friday night and the second
one is due Snlgdu,\ night, according
to the weather man |
The nip of last night was so slight
that no damage was done except to
the very tenderest of vegetation and
the one coming to-night is to be no
heavier, so there's really no need to
move the hardy plants inside.
Sunday, according to the forecast,
{s to be a delightful day—slightly
warmer, but still with a tinge of au
tumn that will make you feel right
pert. The skies are to be clear all
day, too, unless Mr. von Herrmann
has guessed wrong.
While Atlanta was escaping lightly
the first touch of real autumn, some
other sections of the South were not
so fortunate. Killing frosts were re
ported from Arkansas, Tennessee and
Misslssippl. At Milan, Tenn., the
temperature dropped to 32 degrees
and at Bollivar 33.
Bancroft cracked a single to center.
Paskert hit to Gardner and was out
at Hobby's station, NO RUNS, ONE
HIT, NO ERRORS.
SEVENTH INNING.
Boston—Gardner lifted to Whitted
in deep left. Barry hopped on the
first offering for a single to left, He
was forced at second by Thomas,
Mayer to Bancroft to Niehoff, the

stopping at second. It was the Bos
ton pitcher's second hit. Janvrin ran

to Luderus, ending a big change for
Boston., NO RUNS, THREE HITS,

the wood for Boston, and Janvrin re
