Markets Of The World North of Dvinsk the Russians are harrassing the Germans and driving them out of village after village. South of Dvinsk the enemy‘s front is being steadily pushed back towards Sventsiany, and almost daily the Rusâ€" sians recapture a village or two and lead off German prisoners. At Dvinsk, despite unceasing efâ€" forts, the Germans are still held at gunshot distance, and whenever they make a vigorous attack they suffer repulse, with heavy losses from the Russian artillery fire. Yet Gen. von Buelow is taking Dvinsk very seriâ€" ously. Along the Vilkomir road the field railway runs for over 20 miles, and heavy guns and ammunition are being brought up continually to the front. The German force immediateâ€" ly opposite Dvinsk is being strengthâ€" ened, but the flanks are wavering. A despatch from Petrograd says: Ths only parts of the Russian front that display any great activity now are the Dvinsk sector and the sector on the middle Styr in Volhynia.

From the Viliya to the Pripet there is effective skirmishing all along the line. South of the Pripet the sting has been taken out of General Puâ€" halio‘s temporary success on the midâ€" dle Styr, and his army, for all that it was reinforced from the neighboring armies of Generals Lisingen and Macâ€" kensen, is being propelled back into the swamps. The action of Daniusuavo, on the Viliya, is typical of this kind of fightâ€" ing. The battle lasted several days. The Germans were driven from the trenches, but. repeatedly counterâ€" attacked, only to be flung back everyâ€" where by the Russian fire. They brought up reserves and succeeded in advancing to within 200 yards of the Russian lines. Then two Russian companies caught the advancing Gerâ€" mans on the flank and held â€"them whilé the artillery dealt with the enemy‘s supports. The result was that the isolated advancing group was annihilated by the Russian bayoâ€" nets. United States Markets. Live Stock Markets.

A despatch from Rome says: The citizens of Vienna have â€"received warning that all brass domestic utenâ€" sils will be sequestered on November 30, when houses will be searched with the object of ascertaining whether the present requigitions for such utensils are being evaded. Canada already has organized a machine gun battalionâ€"the 86th of Hamilton. A despatch from London says: British military authorities have reâ€" cognized the importance of machine guns, which have been such a strikâ€" ing feature of German warfare, by the formation of a special machine gun corps with the King‘s sanction. Announcement of the step is made in the Official Gazette. ALL BRASS UTENSILS IN VIENNA TAKEN UPp MACHINE GUN CORPS IN THE BRITISH ARMY Statements evidently based on offiâ€" cial information relate that King Constantine received the French Minâ€" ister at Athens after the landing of French troops had begun, and made no mention of the incident or sugâ€" gestion of a protest. It is therefore said here that the King has not taken a stand against the landing, but merely differs with M. Venizelos in regard "to the fixed policy of Greece in supporting the Quadruple Entente. The downfall of the Venizelos Cabinet is considered here as relating to formalities, rather than to deterâ€" mined opposition to the landing of French troops. Landing Proceeds. The landing of French troops at Salonica and their prompt despatch northward across Greek territory to the Serbian frontier will proceed without regard to the Cabinet crisis at Athens. The possibility that Greece may try to remain neutral, fearing to stake the nation‘s fate upon the sucâ€" cess of either party to the great war, is recognized in England, although it is considered small. The hopes of the Entente powers are that popular sentiment is with them, and that the King may find it best to bow before the will of the people, as he has done before. A despatch from London says: Greece is to have a coalition Governâ€" ment. After virtually dismissing the foremost Greek statesman, Eléeutherâ€" ics Venizelos, from the Premiership, and asserted personal control of the Government, King Constantine, broâ€" therâ€"inâ€"law of the German Emperor, sent for a former Premier, M. Zaimis, who has consented to form a coalition Government. M. Venizelos will not be included as a member. ALLIED TROOPS: LAND IN GREECE They Proceed to Frontier Without Regard to the Cabinet Crisis.

Less Than 240 Warless Years. From the Christian era till the preâ€" sent time, as statists and historians tell us, there have been fewer than 240 warless years. Up to the middle of the nineteenth century it was roughâ€" ly computed that nearly 7,000,000,000 men had died in battle since the beâ€" ginning of recorded history, a numâ€" ber equal to almost five times the preâ€" sent population of the globe. "Germanâ€" and Austroâ€"Hungarian troops crossed the Drina, the Save and the Danube at many places, and obtained firm footing on the eastern bank of the Drina and the southern banks of the Save and the Danube." News from various sources place the strength of the Teutonic armies invading Serbia at 400,000 men. The troops which Bulgaria is able to throw against the southern borders of Serbia are supposed to be of of about equal number. _ While there is no news yet at hand that the Bulgarian forces have moved to cross the fronâ€" tier, it is generally supposed here that the invasion has begun on the southern side of Serbia as well as on the north, and that in all probability these forces are supported by some 250,000 Turks, who are not required at the Dardanelles. Invasion of Serbia. German and Austrian armies of reportedly great strength have crossâ€" ed into Serbia at three widely diverâ€" gent points, and have firmly estabâ€" lished themselves. This news is conâ€" tained in an official statement from the German War Office, which says: Public opinion in Bulgaria is not entirely unanimous in support of King Ferdinand, and reports indicate that the Bulgarian mobilization is not being carried out without. difficulty. The King and Premier Radoslavoff, however, have finally thrown in their lot with Austria, Germany and Turâ€" key. The Angloâ€"French troops, which were landed at Salonica with the taâ€" cit consent of the Greek Government, are being hurried northward to assist Serbia, and, if possible, keep the Bulâ€" garians from capturing the Salonicaâ€" Nish railway, the only source by which the Serbians can be fed with munitions of war. The Bulgarians are said to be feâ€" verishly fortifying the port of Dedeaâ€" ghatch. â€"All buildings on the coast have been evacuated and longâ€"range guns are being placed in the forts, while the port is being heavily mined. This would indicate that the Bulgarâ€" ians anticipate what is considered likely here, a naval bombardment of Dedeaghatch by French and British fleets and a possible attempt to land an expeditionary force. A despatch from London says: The Cologne Gazette reports two Russian cruisers actively bombarding the Bulâ€" garian port of Varna.

A despatch from London says: The Italians record another advance toâ€" ward Rovereto, which has so many times been reported as evacuated by the Austrians. On the plateau of Folgaria several villages have been occupied by the invaders, who drove the enemy from the neighboring Many Small Engagements Around Gorizia, in Which Austrians Lost Numsrous Prisoners The towns mentioned in the two ofâ€" ficial communications show that the The Germans admit that the French have made slight progress, but on the whole, claim to have repulsed the alâ€" lied general offensive. Four _ successive counterâ€"attacks near Souchez were completely repulsâ€" ed, the War Office declares, while in the Champagne, too, "stubborn counâ€" terâ€"attacks" against the positions lost by the Germans recently failed. Equally as futile was an attempt on the Lorraine front, where the French alloweg the Germans to adyvance to their wire entanglements and then showered a rain of shells upon them. The communique tells of the destrucâ€" tion of a German captive balloon by shrapnel fire from a mitrailleuse in a French aeroplane. A despatch from Paris says: The] Germans are continuing to try with | all their might and means to 1'eg-ainj the ground they lost to the French in the recent allied offensive.

German trenches along the district between Rheims and the Argonne, has been taken by assault, and the victorious French infantry pushed forward and reached the heights north of the vilâ€" lage.
