PARIS, Oct. 16. Heavily beset'

upon three sides, the Serbians are

making a last ditch fight for life.

Military circles conceded help must

reach them speedily If of any avail.

Serbian reports claim the Serbians

are holding their own against the

Bulgarians and the Austrlans In the

west along the Drlna. but admit the

Aualro-Qermaa drive northward Is

steadily progressing In the Morava

valley. Von Hackensen la reported

the central allies' losses are enormous

In their effort to batter their way to

Constantinople. Military circles ad

mit the Teutons will reach Constanti

forced soon.

The allied troops landed at Salon

ika are reported to be pushing lnte

Serbia. It Is not believed .however,

they are numerous enough to accom

plish much, and It Is known a

stronger force Is imperatively needed.

Italian reports, unconfirmed, said

communications are cut between Sa

bold stroke to cut the railway . line

decided to remain neutral and has

troops on her borders to maintain

FALL ON

BILLS 10 BE

Canal Bonds for $250,000,000 to Raise Part of

Needed Money-Tariff Announcement Will

Make Subject "Dead as Mackerel" -Leaders

to Confer. v

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. The administration has practi

cally decided to sell a quarter billion worth of government

bonds to provide money for national defense. These are the

Panama canal bonds, still unused, and will be used solely tow

ard a partial payment of a four hundred million expenditure

planned for the army and navy extension. The president

hopes to secure the difference from other revenues. He will

urge a continuation of the sugar tax, and in addition hopes to

get increased returns from the income tax, customs and inter

nal revenue taxes. The needs of the future in the nation's five

year preparedness program will be met as they arise. The

means of obtaining money assuring a united support in the vast

undertaking will be discussed in a "war" conference of demo

cratic leaders before congress reconvenes. The administra

tion will make the defense bills party measures.

The house rules committee is expected to rush their consid

eration, and all the influence of the administration will be

turned toward getting them through as expeditiously and

smoothly as possible. It is stated the president intends to stand

or fall on the national defense program. It will be the issue of

the coming national campaign. When the president announces

his stand on the tariff, it is said, the subject will be as "dead as

a mackerel" as a campaign issue. He will stand for conces

sions "deemed necessary" in a readjustment of the tariff.

The administration program for

national defense to be recommended

to the forth-coming session of con

gress, proposing a total expenditure

of about 6400.000,000 was practical

ly completed last night. Secretary

Garrison's plan, approved by the

president, calls for an Increase of

I75,000-.0fl0 In the war department's

annual appropriation to be used for

augmenting the regular army to

1 40.000 and the creation of a new

continental army of 400.000 men.

which, together with the militia of

125.000. would give the United States

a military force In time of need of;

665.000. Approval, also was given;

today to the proposal of Secretary i

Daniels and the general board of the

navy, for a five-year naval construc

tion plan to cost 1500. 000,000, giving

the navy 10 new dreadnaught and:

six battle cruisers as well as more

than TO submarines. SO destroyers.

10 scout cruisers and a host ot aux-,

BY WALLA WALLA JURY

WALLA WALLA. Wash. Oct 16.

After deliberating eight minutes

the Jury In the Cornelius W. Camp

bell case, charged with murder In

the first degree, returned a verdict

of not guilty yesterday afternoon.

Campbell, who was accused of ad

ministering strychnine to Ethel Mc

Donald, 15 year old girl who made

her home with the Campbell family,

left the court room with his wife

smiling. He had been at liberty , n

bonds since shortly after h afreet

the latter part of July.

The verdict was not a surprise to

those who had watched the progress

of the trial. Thp pvldpnce of the

statp was entirely circumstantial . !

which tended to show that Campbell

was responsible for the condition of

the girl, and attempted to connect

him with thp administering of the

poison through circumstances that,

were dpemed suspicious, and atate-j

DEFENSE

PARI! MEASURES

Secretary Garrison has carefully

guarded his plan for strengthening

the military establlsnmpnts and or

ganizing a great continental army for

defense and practically nothing was

known of It until last night. The

program proposes:

FlrstRpgular arm?. 140.000 men.

an Increase of more than 50 000 men

in the prpspnt establishment.

Second A continental army, 400.

000 strong, enlisted for six years for

months a year for the first three

years, with the colors, undprgoing a

period of Intensive training;. A re

It is estimated that 40.000 of ths
