A Bulgarian di- vision of troops now occupies the former prvisional capital of Serbia. Serbians are retreating into their muntain fastnesses, after losing in rapid succession practically all their strongholds on the Danube plains and in the Balkan foothills. Practically two-thirds of Serbian territory is now under foreign flags. The forts around Nish and other towns are practically obliterated by the heavy fire from Bul- garian guns. Every house in Nish, according to reports, was transformed into afort and street fighting raged with enor- mous bloodshed. WAR MINISTER IS IN BALKANS London, Nov. 6.-An official state- ment has been issued today explaining that the absence of Lord Kitchener, British minister of war, is due to a visit to the Balkans. Lord Kitchener disappeared rather suddenly from England today, causing intense excite- ment here. The war minister has been closeted with Premier Asquith in several con- ferences recently, and last night he visited King George V, who is still weak from his accident at the western front. Premier Asquith is now assum- ing charge of the British war office. The official statement announces that the war earl is absent "temporari- ly on a public duty." It is firmly be- lieved in London circles, however, that Lord Kitchener will take active com- niand of allied troops in the eastern war countries. This act of the minister is the culmination of several trips about Great Britain and western Eu- rope during the 'past several months. Absolute denial has been made of rumors on the continent that Lord Kitchener had resigned from his posi- tion. On the contrary, it is believed that he will inspect conditions and probably assume command in the Bal- kans and possibly at Gallipoli or in Egypt, where he began his military fame by the recovery of the Sudan for the British. Premier Asquith has been once be- fore in charge of the British war de- partment, for a short time after the resignation of Colonel Seeley, during the Irish home rule troubles. Half. Million Spent for German Plots New York, Nov. 6.-At least $500,- 000 has been expended in carrying out alleged German plots in this country in an effort to prevent war munitions from reaching the allies, according to a statement made by one of the offi- cials investigating the cases of Rob- ert Fay, who claimed to be a German army lieutenant, and five alleged ac- complices. Federal authorities admitted that they considered the lengthy story which Fay told concerning his life his- tory and activities in connection with plots against steamships carrying munitions from this country to the allies. Fay, it was said, is now be- lieved to be a Hungarian, whose real name is Feji. Federal agents are now trying to trace the sourceofathe large amount of money, said to have been spent by dif- ferent men in attempting to carry out the various bomb plots.

Supporting their endorsement in March, 1911, of the movement for a' Naco, Sonora, Nov. 6.-That General Villa is in an ugly mood toward Amer- icans is evident by the threat he has made against American citizens and property in Mexico. It developed to- day that he has demanded $25,000 each from the Phelps company of New York, the Nacozari Copper company and the Montezuma Copper company, and from the Elltigre Copper company, owned by Kansas City people. The Canangea Consolidated Copper company, another American company, has already paid $25,000 for the pro- tection of its Canangea property and in addition has surrendered its hos- pital for Villa's wounded and given. a large quantity of supplies.

The work will be rived at the recently besieged city in New York, Nov. 6.-Tlve persons, at least eight of them girls, have per- ished in one of the most horrible fire disasters in the country's history, in a blaze following an explosion in the Diamond Candy company's build- ing in Brooklyn. Of the 300 or 400 women and girls employed in the candy and adjacent box factories, 68 are known to be in- jured, and some reports gave the death list at 20. The suddenness of the combustion and the inefficiency of fire escapes and lacked training in fire drill were causes of the disaster. The whole building is said to have been wrapped in flames within five minutes after the explosion on the third or fourth floor of the factory. The women and girls began to jump from windows before the fire depart- ments' nets were stretched beneath them. Several bodies are beyond allI recognition. Scores of the injured have been+ rushed to the Williamsburg hospital., The candy factory was a wooden1 structure and caved in within 15 or 20 minutes after the fire began in earnest.+ 500 WOMEN ATTEND RECEPTIONt Presidents Angell and Hutchins Amongr Speakers .at Women's League I The annual reception given by the Women's league Friday night in Sarah1 Caswell Angell hall was attended byt more than 500 of the university women.t There were short speeches by Pres- ident-Emeritus James B. Angell, Pres-t ident Harry B. Hutchins, Mrs. Delphinet Ashbaugh, president of the Michigan1 State Federation of Women's Clubs, and Helen Humphreys, '16, president1 of the Women's league.t "Go home and help your community," urged Mrs. Ashbaugh, "Make thet world a better place because you have lived here."t Dr. Angell, whose wie was one of the organizers of the league, told of the needs of a large body of women. Helen Humphreys gave a brief ac- count of the celebration of Vassar's fiftieth anniversary, to which she was a delegate. Following the entertainment there was dancing in the parlors of the gym- nasium, after which refreshments were served. The reception marked the opening of the social season of the league. Next Friday the first weekly informal party will be held in Bar- bour gymnasium. t Revolt or War, Greek Dilemma London, Nov. 6.-King Constantine of Greece has stated unofficially that into the general European war.

Zaimis is head of the "neutralty party," which favors absolute impar- tiality to both sides in the present con- flict. His opponent, Venizelos, leads the war and pro-entente faction. WOLVERINES OUTPLAY VISITORS ONLY DURING SHORT PERIOD FINAL SCORE 34 T0 7 Barrett, Shiverick and Collins Star for Ithacans; Cornell Line Impregnable PLAY IN MICHIGAN TERRITORY "PAT" SMITH AND "MAULIE" PLAY STELLAR GAMES FOR THE MAIZE AND BLUE And thus Michigan sorrowfully chronicles her third successive foot- ball defeat of the season. Those big red fellows from Cornell proved irresistible, running up the convincing total of 34 points, as against Michigan's more modest ap- portionment of 7. At no time during the game was the result in doubt. Cornell had probably the best football team in America, bar- ring none. For a brief period during the second half the Maize and Blue outplayed the Ithacans, but it was of no avail. Cornell simply took a sec- ond breath and began anew. The principal offenders in the Itha- can lineup from a spectacular point of view were this highly-touted Barrett and Shiverick. Of course there was Collins, too. But he didn't count so much. He only ran 45 yards for a touchdown in addition to pleading guilty to several other minor offenses of a less serious nature, but at the same time it was the two first men- tioned individuals that played particu- lar havoc with Michigan's aspirations. In justice to the others, however, let it be recorded that the attempt to credit any select few with an advan- tage is positively criminal libel to those who go unmentioned. That Cornell line could have held until the sun went down, apparently. Shelton and Eckley, the two ends, both acted as though they were more or less familiar with the game. At least these lads indicated that they'd seen the contest played before, or else had listened to some pretty lucid explana- tions and interpretations of the rules, for they did about everything that the law allows. During the early part of the secoid half the Michigan team plunged into the game with fight written in every action. This does not intend to imply that they hadn't been scrapping be- fore, but everyone simply let loose to the limit, and even Cornell couldn't stop them, which is probably the last word in commendation for a team's offense. The play was all on Cornell's side of the 50-yard line and when Nie- mann recovered a fumble on 'the 32- yard line nothing could check "Pat" Smith and "Maulie." With the ball within a foot of the line, "Rummy" Roehm dove between "Wally's" legs and slid over for a touchdown before (Continued on Page Four) done in co-operation with the nation- wide campaign and the faculty com- mittee will be an integral part of the Ann Arbor building fund committee. The chairman at the head of thej committee has not yet been announced, but a university professor interested in the work gave out some of the de- tails of the campaign yesterday. "There are now 507 faculty men list- ed on the faculties of the university," he said. "Of these, 138 are life mem- bers of the Union. There ought to be at least 450 of them in the faculty, and we expect to enroll no less than this number in the course of our campaign. The committee will go on the theory that every assistant professor, instruc- tor and assistant should hold a life membership amounting to $50. Also that every professor, in addition to holding a life membership, should give from $50 to $250. We ought to raise $10.000 over and above the life mem- berships, and these should total $20,- 000. The committee will approach every member of the faculty, whether he is already a life member or not. There will be a general chairman and from 16 to 18 sub-committees."

He expects to drive Villa out of Sonora shortly.- TAFT BRANDS DOCTRINE UNSAFE Speaker Criticizes Roosevelt's Use ofj Executive Power New York, Nov. 6.-Broadening the use of executive power as exercised by former President Theodore Roosevelt was termed as "unsafe doctrine" by former President William Howard Taft in an address here last night. He was speaking to the subject, "The Presidency: Its Power, Duty, Respon- sibilities, and Limitations," when he uttered the criticism of certain acts of his predecessor in the White House. "Mr, Roosevelt," he said, "in his notes for a possible autobiography says in regard to certain acts of his administration, 'I did not usurp power but I did greatly broaden the use of the executive power.' "My own judgment is that it is an unsafe doctrine and that it might lead to irremediable injustice to private rights. The mainspring of such a view is that the executive is to play the part of a universal Providence and set all things right. The president is not an omnipotent and benevolent prophet."

Jemal Pasha, the Turkish minister of marine, and now the dictator of Palestine and Syria, took a special interest in the American Red Cross, and he with his staff was entertained on many occa- sions at the field quarters of the hos- pital. At Constantinople Dr. Ward met Enver Pasha, the commander-in-chief of the Turkish army, and also Talaat Bey, the minister of the interior, and his acquaintance with these men gave him an insight into the affairs of Tur- key which has probably not even been exceeded by the American ambassador himself.
