LONDON, Nov. 27.—The Servians have recaptured Krushevyo, in South- ern Servia, about 20 miles west of Prilep, according to a dispatch to the Star from Athens. PARIS, Nov. 27.—Press dispatches from Athens say that the French and British forces landed at Saloniki have now attained important proportions. The Patrie of Athens gives their number at 125,000.

USE OF THE DANUBE DENIED TO TEUTONS Rumania Refused to Consent to Sending of Warships Down River by Central Powers. LONDON, Nov. 27.—It is stated that the Rumanian Government has refused .a request of the Austrian and German Governments for permission for their warships to proceed along the Danube River in Rumania toward Galatz and the Black Sea. It is supposed here that the request was due to a desire on the part of the Teutonic allies to menace from Galatz the Russian concentration in Southern Bessarabia. The situation along the Rumanian frontier, where a great Russian force is said to have been gathered, is still ob- secure. The display by the Rumanian public of feeling tn favor of the entente is regarded in London as an indication that the nation is in a position to dis- regard the demands of the Central Pow- ers.

TROOPS KILL A) MEXICANS IN Faril ON BORDER Post-Dispatch Staff Corre- spondent Tells of Ameri- can Soldiers’ Bravery and Good Marksmanship in Conflict on Both Sides of Line at Nogales, Ariz. OUTBREAK PROVOKED BY VILLA’S FORCES Carranzistas Later Fire by Mistake and Shots Are Re- turned — Wounded and Deserters Cross Line and Surrender. By Clair Kenamore,. A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dis- patch. NOGALES, Ariz., Nov. 27.—For the first time in four years, American sol- diers have fired across the line into Mexican territory without first wiring to Washington.for permission. And for the first time in four years, Americans in Nogales are walking with shoulders thrown back and their cigars tilted up- ward at a truculent angle. This is because yesterday the Twelfth Infantry ‘‘took on” the Mexican garri- son at Nogales, Sonora, and shot it up considerably. One American soldier was killed and two wounded, one seriously. Between 60 and 80 Mexican soldiers were hit, and the best information is that 40 were killed by the American fire. The Carranzistas killed the rest of the wounded. In the middle of the fight, which last- ed less than half an hour, Nogales, Sonora, changed from a Willa port to Carranzista control, and it was a rep- resentative of the recognized chief who asked for a truce. The two towns of Nogales lie in a canyon-like valley, called Portrexp Ar- royo. International street is the inter- national boundary and near it, in both towns, tlie best business houses are. The main street of the Arizona town, Mor- ley avenue, continues into Mexico, where it becomes Calle Elias. At International street it is about 200 yards from hill to hill. The hills are about 200 feet high, and very steep. Hurl Insults at Americans, At 11:40 yesterday morning, Col. Sage of the Twelfth Infantry had a skirmish line strung on the border along the street and over both hills. Six com- panies were so distributed, and two were held in reserve at a little park two blocks from the line. onel Knew trouble was coming and his men had plenty of ammunition. The Villistas across the line were quarrel- some. They were endeavoring to get out of town, as Obregon was coming up from the south, and for days they had been shouting insults across the Street at Americans. Americans lying on the ground with rifles do not ixe the choice assortment of. expletives the Spanish language allows. “Come out and fight, you cowards, ' cried a particularly offensive soldier of the Calle Elias, as he fired his rifle. i.e started over across the gtreet and instructions were given to ‘‘get’’ him the next time he fired. As he c:.me in sight at the next street, the rifles of the Americans opened, and the bravo went over. Then the Mexicans, esti- mated at 200, began a general rifle fire, sniping from housetops, ditches, behind barrels and from every point of van- tage on their side. Then the American skirmish line rippled into fire from hill to hl, and up both slopes. Men who had been waiting for two years finally had their chance. -Calmly and coolly, their officers say, they filled the requirements of the manual, and their m:.rksmanship was proved. Every time a Mexican was toppled over, the women ran out and gathered round him, hindering the soldiers greatly. For 15 minutes, the firing was sharp. Then Consul Frederick Simpich, after talking to Col. Sage, went to the barbed Continued on Page &, Column 6. The Col- } Women Tag Sellers Stationed at Rialto Building Left to right: Mrs. A. T.

PRISON TERM FOR CHRONIC SPEEDERS Prosecuting Attorney Would Eli- minate Persistently Reckless Drivers as Public Menaces. Workhouse sentences as a cure for au- tomobile speeding are suggested in a letter sent by Prosecuting Attorney Sidener to Police Chief Young today. Sidener believes that a State law now in force would make it possible to im- prison automobilists who persist in ex- ceeding the speed limit. In his letter he says: “Owing to the alarming increase in the mortality rate resylting from automo- bile accidents alrthe apparent inade- quacy of punishment in cases of chronic speeders by City Court fines, I have de- termined, in the interests of public wel- fare to invoke section 9 of the session acts of 1911, page 327. “Up to the present time your depart- ment has not applied to me for any in- formation under this section for the rea- son, aS I have learned, that you, with many others, were under the impression inat this did not apply unless the motor- ist had been driving at a greater rate of speed than 25 miles an hour for more than half a mile. I agree with you that the law is rather vague and indefinite, but I feel that it is our duty as of- ficials to do everything in our power to safeguard the lives of citizens. Eliminate Speed Maniac. ‘“T want it clearly understood that your men are not to bring to me the ordinary cases of speeding which can be properly handled in City Court, but the pernicious and persistent speed ma- niac should be prosecuted, and, if pos- sible, eliminated from the list of pub- lic menaces by a term in the work- house.”’ Section 9, referred to, is as follows: “Every person operating a motor ve- hicle on the public highway of this State shall drive the same in a care- ful and prudent manner and at a rate of speed so as not to endanger the property of another or the life or IMmb of any person; provided that a rate of speed in excess of 25 miles an hour for a distance of one-half of a mile shall be presumptive evidence of driving at a rate of speed which is not careful and prudent.” The penalty section says: “Any person violating the provisions of this act shall for the first offense be punished by a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $100, and for the second vialation of the provisions of this act be punished by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500, or by imprisonment in the county jail not more than @™ days, and shall forfeit all rights and privileges provided for under the pro- visions of this act.” Chief Will Co-Operate. Chief Young, after reading Sidener’s letter, said he would be glad to co-oper- ate with the Prosecuting Attorney in any way that would check the speeding evil and lessen the number of automo- bile accidents. He would be glad, he law to speed violations in St. Louis, as heretofore all prosecutions have been under the city traffic ordinances, which do not provide a prison penalty.

This is Hospital Saturday and hun- drees~of wonien and girls are selling tags in order that the tndizent sick o*¢ St. Louis may not lack during the year to come any of the care ar.d comfort and skilled treatment that more fortu- nate persons are able to purchase. Squads of workers are busily dispusing of the tags at all the office buildings, hotels, railroad stations, in the big stores and wherever the currents of hu- tnanity meet. The sale started off orisk- ly and the indications were that the sum realized might come near the high mark of 1912, when the collections to- taled $47,837.02. Early reports were that :he tags were going faster than last yea., but that the amounts paid for them were in many instances not as large. It was thought, however thut the sale of a greater number of the tags would tors than overcome any lack due to smaller contributions. The day’s campaign opened at Union Station. Mrs. F. W. Baumhoff, in charge of the 264 women and girls who constitute the forces at the various rail- way stations, stayed at the Terminal Hotel all night, accompanied by Mrs. Oo. S. Barnett, Mrs. L. D. Hays, Mrs. J. J. Wagner and Misses Naomi O’Brien, Tessie Dempsey, Helen Gallagher, Har- riet Roy and Gladys Widdecomb, to mneet the early trains. They were up ut 4 o’clock and at 5 o'clock were ready for the day’s work. 5000 Tags Sold at 7:30 A. M, Reinforcements came as the morning advanced until there were about 100 at work at the station. They worked to such good effect that at 7:30 they had sold 5000 tags and had no more to sell. While waiting nearly two hours for more tags they sold newspapers which were turned over to them by the Union News Co. They were aided by 11 boy scouts. J. D. Wooster Lambert, who filmed “Counted In and Counted Out.” the movie thriller presented by society lights at the Victoria Theater recently, got his motion picture camera out early und began snapping the various workers as soon as the light was strong enough.

It was reported that the middies had been delayed in crossing the North River by the heavy fog. The section of the side line stand reserved for the sail- ors yawned bare and yellow against the surrounding mass of spectators, and the army had the cheering field to them- selves. A few minutes later the belated Navy contingent swung onto the field, headed by the Naval Academy brass band, and after several evolutions mounted the stand to their seats and the the Pierce! gridiron wis cleared for the real actors of the day. At 2:12 the Navy football team came on the field supported by their mascot, the Navy goat. A moment later the Army eleven also came on. Both squads were given a terrific welcome by their adherents. Army Wins Tons, Little time was lost in preliminaries. Both Capt. Weyand and Capt. Miles were brought together by the referee to choose the goal and kickoff. The Army won, and chose to defend the west goal. The Army kicked off at 2:19 to the where a midship- man was downed without gain.

It was recovered by Weyand of the Army close to the Navy goa! line Ford, for the Army, failed to gain through the Navy line, and Coffin also failed to make any impression on the Midshipman defense. It was a wonder- ‘ful defense on the part of the Navy close to their goal line.

Oliphant kicked the goal, making the score 7 to 0, and the Army sang their ““Good Night” song. forward Passe Successful. The Army kicked off to the Navy's %-yard line.

Von Heim- berg punted to the Army’s 44-yard line, where Coffin ran it back to the Navy's 35-yard mark. Oliphant, on a fake for- mation, made one yard around Navy's left end.
