HEROIC EFFORT IS MADE TO RESIST INVADERS
LONDON, Oct.- 12—Tlx* Austro-German forces arc meet
ing with stubborn resistance in their invasion of Serbia. The
defending forces are making a otand at every available point,
and' the advance so far made by the Teutons has been costly to i
the invaders. The main Serbian forces have not yet been en- I
countered, the fighting heretofore being mainly artillery ex- i
changes between the batteries on opposite sides of the river. |
It is probable that the Serbian general staff have picked out
the strongest place where a decided stand can be made, and it
is thought here that when the invaders reach the mountain i
range near Kraguie-vatz, they will find their way blocked. At 1
this point the defensive facilities are superb, the topography of i
the country lending itself admirably to Lae purposes of a do- ]
fensive army, and' the Serbians have concentrated here their i
main forces of 300,000 men. Besides the army a million Ser- 1
hian.-; of all ages and sexes are prepared to resist the invaders j
md will throw obstacles in their way.
BERLIN, Oct. 12—The war office announced today that
he German army of invasion into Serbia were attacking tin
Serbians south of Belgrade. The statement was made that tin
•rossing of the Danube by the invading forces had been com
rleted.
ATHENS, Oct. 12—It is reported here that 150,000 Teuton
roops have entered Serbia. From the advices received it i?
bought that the invaders have only managed to cross the river.
it Belgrade, where they have secured a foothold. At other
>arts of the border the attempts of the Austro-Germans to cross
In* Save and the Danube were repulsed by the Serbian artillery,
vhose well directed fire made it impossible for the Teuton en
gineers to erect their pontoon bridges.

BOSTON, Oct. 1*2—The homo team won the third game of }•
the world’s series yesterday afternoon by a score of 2 to 1, I
Boston again outplayed Philadelphia, making six bits to its |
oppunets three, both sides registering a single error each. \

captain-manager of the American Longue champs, while the ;

BOST< )N, Oct. 12—The game yesterday was similar to Sat- s
urdav’s game in that the victor was in doubt until the very end, f
Boston sending the wining run acros the pan in the ninth inn
ing. The largest crowd that ever witnessed a world’s series
bn-eball game attended in Braves Park, the home of the Boston
National league team, the turnstiles registering exactly 42,300
mid admissions.
Dutch Leonard, the left handed marvel of the Bean caters '
held the Phillies in the hollow of his hand throughout, and j
never for a minute lost his perfect control. The Philadelphia hat
ters were helpless before the elusive hurling of the southpaw, i
and once it was seen that Leonard was at his best the result of 1
the game was a foregone conclusion. i
The solitary tally made by the national champs was scored j
in the third inning..The batting of Tris Speaker again featured i
tie* o-afiie, while the fielding honors were carried off by bis i
, iVai center fielder, Dode Paskert of the Phillies, who roamed i
all over the center garden pulling difficult Hies out of the clouds, i
and rivalling even the immaculate Speaker in the perfection of J
ids fielding. On more than one occasion Paskert brought down ^
halls that were labelled for extra base hits, and it was the fine )
fielding behind Alexander which kept the Boston score down, 1
while it was Leonard’s pitching that prevented the Phillies ,
from scoring. 1
T1h> last half of the ninth opened with the score i\ tie, and i
the immense crowd rooting for the home team to win. 1 io> i
head of the Sox batting list was up, and Harry Hooper lived up 11
■ • .. .. _r..,. .in flit, hnsos hv knockinsr out a 1
afe hit over second. Soft sacrificed Hooper to second.
Speaker hit weakly to the infield, and the crowd rooted foi
.,cwis to drive in the winning run. Lewis calmly pick out lib
int and smashed the first ball pitched into deep center field
chile Hooper scamp-red home to the plaudits of the Boston
ans. The first Boston run was scored by Speaker in tin* fourth
fter he had driven a fine double over third base. Bunn
cored the Phil lies only run.
The three hits made by the Phillies were captured In
Jams, Stock and Bancroft. For Boston, Lewis got three
ingles, Speaker, two extra base hits, and Hooper one. Tin
mirth game in the series will lie* played here tomorrow.

VANCOUVER. Oct. 12—A serious
fire broke out in one of the warehouses
on the docks yesterday which des
troyed the building and contents, and
gave the department the biggest fight
it has had for some time, as the dan

at the docks was great. The ware
house contained fifteen hundred tons
of general cargo bound from Montreal

headway before the engines arrived

CHICAGO, Oct. 12—All the saloons

be a big influence in the prohibition

VOTE WITH

\
CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 12—At the gen- \
era1 elections held hroughout Norway
yesterda women voted for the first
time !.n the history ~T the country.
That the women appreciated the suf
frage and Intended to use it was evl
, denced by the fact that nearly all of
them exercised the privilege. While
returns are not yet available it is ad
mitted that the voting by the women
will result in large socialist gains
throughout the nation, and the repre
sentation of that faction in the parli
ament will be greatly increased. The
. socialists have made an active cam
paign. taking an advanced position on
the great questions which have been
agitating the country. Thetr platform
urgently proclaims against militarism,
and in favor of prohibition, and these
two planks are meeting with great fa
vor. The government party ha9
pledged itself to a gradual suspension
of the liquor traffic, which will in time
amount to prohibition, but the Social
ists have declared in favor of abolish
ing traffic at once.
