Ol)? (Lifter field ^Advertiser V VOLUME 84?NO. 48 CHESTERFIELD, S. 0., JANUARY 18, 1910 $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE^BHl (A Weekly Review Of The Great War After the conquest of Serbia the Anglo-French troops retreated southward^ into Greece and the Serl>3 westward into Albania. It. was the expectation of the Allies at Salonica that the Au8tro-German and Buigaiian troops would follow them into Greece and accordingly they began to entrench themselves with ^feverish haste and to rush in all ' (? ailable icinforcements. Since Salonica was at first unfortified and the French and British around Salouica did not number more than a third of what could have been brought against them, it seems likely that tbey could have been overcome if the Ausf rAal-lAt (nan u ^ lji.1 i.A -io .? ^ ? VI v/ vic-i mail anvi inn^ai inn ttuups had continued their advance. But they stopped instead at the Greek border. Whether for the purpose of preparation, or because their real interest lie elsewhere regains to be seen. At any rate, their delay has given the Allies time to encircle ISalonica with fortifications, to bring up 1200 guns and to accumulate troops to the number of some 250,000 General Oastelnau, the French Ohief of Stall, who has visited Salonica, pronounces it impiegnable and suys his only fear is W/ lest the enemy should decide not to attack but stay where they are, which, "in view of our preparation" to receive them fit- < tingly, woulo be a pity." The only sign of hostility against Salonica manifested so tar is the appearance of severul German ? ' aeroplanes flying high over the city. One of the Taubes, apparently mistaking a flock of 1 sheep for the Britisl: army, dropt i a bomb which kilied shepherd < an 1 four of his sheep. On the suspicion that they were giving information about the defenses, the Austrian, Ger man and Turkish consuls at Suloniea hnve been arrested and transporteri by order of General Sarvail, ihe French commander The prpers of the consulates wt-re seiz-'d and the consuls with their families and servants, sixtytwo altogether, put on board a French vessel for transport* tion to pa.ts unknown. The Bulgarian consul escaped. The Greek Government has protest ed against. this new violation of Greek neutrality bv the Allies. On the western side of Serbia there is more activity. The Austrian?, who invaded Montenegro from the Sunjtk of NoviLuzrr. have been driven back over the frontier into Serbia with a loss of over 2000 it. killed . 4 and wounded. The Austrian at- | tack upon the other sido of Mon- j tenegro, though supported by a ( vigorous aitillery tire from the , forts ami tleet, was also ineffective. The Austrian official r- . ports are non-committal in re- , gard to the fighting in t liin field. < It seems that the Austrians ( are trying to gain entrance into northern Albannia by way of ! Dalmatia to the west of Monte- ( negro. The Austrian territory extends down along the Adriatic coast nearly to Antivari, the sole Montenegrin port, and this is only fifty miles from Scutari, the chief town of northern ' Albania, now the headquarters | "trrf'1! of the Serbian Government audi I?i the rallying point of its scatter Ky/fK?d troops. ! It in said that the Serbian sol1 diers which have been collected |'*f and reorganized in Albania nuui I JGfe ber abjiit 80,000. Tney aro be mlm[ irg supplied with food and amA munition by the Italians, who :$ hold the ports of Durazzo and, Avlona on the Albanian coaH. H A squadron of live Austrian de-: H stroyers from Cattaro entered j H the harbor of Durazzo and sunk ' Iff two-yesaels there but one of the B destroyers struck a mine and an* H other was sunk by shell fire. The Italian authorities have cxpolled from Durazzo William HE W. Howard, of New York, secre|H ury of the Albanian iieliefj Fund, and other Americans who j were engaged in the succor of the starving Albanians and Serbian refugees. The 130,000 Austrian prisoners which the Serbian troops managed to take t with them into Albania when 8 they were driven out of Serbia, ii have been turned over to Italy (J and are now inteied in Sardinia. The peak of Hartmanns-Weil- t erk< pf which figures so protnin- 1 ently in the despatches from d time to time stands 011 the s southeastern verge of the Vos- a ges mountains, overlooking the C Rhine valley. From its. name ii one would presume it to be Ger- d man, but whether it is now in German hads or French cannot <1 yet be told, for Par's and Berlin p during the past fortnight have V been claiming alternate or sim g nltaneous victories. The crest s< of the peak, over 3000 feet abovt sea-level, was cuptured by the if French lust April, or at least tl they gained a lodgement there, si for the Germans still held part w of the summit. The opposing o< trenches were in fact only a few yards apart and 6harp-shooting w has been incessant between h them. Ik On December 21 the French M took the oll'ensive and drove the pi Germans from their trenches on n the summit and the southeastern tl slope. The Germaiis came back n on the following day and regain- hi ed most of their lost positions, tl This 6ee-saw contlict continued ai all through Christmas week, butjw on the whole it aDnears that the! si French are gaining ground and; are now in possession of tlie ai slope of Ilartinanns-Wcilerkopf di as well as the valley lying be pi twien this peak and the lesser st elevation of Ilirzeustein, a mile fe to the southeast. Whether this a\ attack portends another attempt ,f the French at the conquest of tl Alsace remains to be seen. Si During the past week The itus- S' dans have taken the offensive 111 ig&inst the Austro-Germans in i'1 a manner to prove that they arei^'1 lot. 'Vruslud" by the Germans iet ts was once thought.

Pellagra Fight is Urgent Need Pellagra has become such a menace in the South that Secretary MoA'loo has asked congress for a rush appropriation of $100,000 for studies and demonstrafl r* I? BTAwlr ' ?' - 1 ?^ -1- A I viuu ?i viiv iLi I UIU>L suiiit^iiori with a particular view to check ing that disease and typoid fev er. He submitted a report from the public health service which said: "Increased demonstrations are urgently required to prevent pellagra from becoming a veritable scourge in many rural com...unities. In Mississippi alone there were 10,540 cases and 1,024 deaths l'rom pellagra last year, and in certain other Sates it has exceeded tuberculosis as a cause of death. It is estimated that there have been approximately 75,000 cases of pellagra throughout the country this past year, with more than 7,500 deaths." The report states that the country population has not kept pace with urban communities along sanitary lines and that lm proper food has been shown to have a profound iniluence on the health of populations and to be directly responsible for the in creasing prevalence of pellagra.
