POSITION OF SERBIAN ARMIES IS CRITICAL

Germanic-Austrian Attack Too Much For Little Country—British Acknowledge Defeat. Serbia can not long preserve its existence against the attack of the Germans, Austrians and Bulgarians and an appeal for speedy aid from England and the other allies will go unanswered because there is no way in which the aid can reach the distressed country. Slowly the Serbians are being forced back and a London dispatch says they can not long keep up the struggle. Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign minister, Tuesday told the house of commons that Great Briton’s offer of Cyprus'to Greece had lapsed as Greece had failed to fulfill her treaty obligations to Serbia. Apparently British diplomacy has failed with Greece and it is possible that this country may join hands with the Germans. At a meeting of the house of Lords Tuesday the various war questions were discussed and there was a great amount of gloom evident. The failure of the Dardanelles expedition was spoken of as a great disappointment and questions were asked which some of the members said could not be discussed becomingly in open parliament nnH delays were urged to a public discussion of the failure of the effort to induce Greece to get into the war. Card of Thanks. We wish in this way to thank our friends and neighbors for their many acts of kindness and assistance during the sickness and death of our dear wife and mother; also for the beautiful floral offerings.—Wm. R. Bull and Daughters.
