War bulletins and political notes from a distant day
A Belgrade dispatch reports Servians recaptured Semlin after fierce fighting boosting the offensive. Vaud’s wine vintage will be the Joffre vintage and 1870s Bismarck line is rerun in hopes of better luck. Paris despatches say Guy De Cassagnac was killed in action alongside his editorial rival Paul De Cassagnac. The Petrograd correspondent says Vladimir Bourtzeff was sent to Moscow to enlist. Rumors place Burhan Eddine as Albanian throne candidate amid Balkan tensions. In Washington, Majority Leader Underwood says a pact to recess Congress from Oct 10 to Nov 15 may be arranged to aid campaigning, with the shipping bill to pause during the break.
