BULGARS ARE DRIVEN FROM BASE IN SOUTH French and Serbs Together Enter City in Triumph One Year After Evacuation; Entente Allies Advance Elsewhere. Grunishte Surrounded in General Advance; Hill 1378 Captured and Gains Made in the Direction of Holeven. BERLIN, Nov. 19.-The capture of Monastir by the allies was officially admitted in tonight's official statement, which says: The enemy succeeded in making progress on height 1,212, northeast of Cege. German and Bulgarian troops have taken a position north of Monastir. Monastir is thus abandoned. LONDON, Nov. 19.-Monastir has fallen to the allies. To the strains of the Serbian national hymn the remnant of King Peter's army at 3 o'clock this morning madched through the shell-riddled gate of the Macedonian city, whence a year ago they fled in panic and hunger before the great Teuton-Bulgarian steam roller. At the head of the victorious troops rode Crown Prince Alexander, rejuvenator of the little Balkan kingdom's soldiers, and side by side with them marched French regiments with whose aid the first great step toward the reconquest of Serbia was accomplished. Here and there in the long line of the triumphal march a row of Muscovite "Tchakos" towered above the helmets of steel. Their owners were members of the Russian contingent which also co-operated in the encirclement of the great Bulgarian stronghold. A few minutes after the first battalions had entered, the Serbian colors-red, blue and white-once more fluttered from the mast tops on Monastir's government and municipal buildings. ANNIVERSARY OF SERB CAPTURE. The entry was peculiarly timely, for today is the anniversary of the capture of the city by the Serbs four years ago. The French war office was the first to tell the news of the great success. It was flashed broadcast, and a few hours later messages from all En-tente capitals told of unbounded jubilation. "Troops of the Army of the Orient." said the French official announcement, "entered Monastir at 8 o'clock this morning, the anniversary of the taking of the town by the Serbians in 1912." Early in the afternoon word came from Berlin that the German war office had conceded the loss of the Macedonian base. "German and Bulgarian troops," the official statement said, "have taken up a position north of Monastor. Monastir is thus abandoned." CLIMAX OF BITTER BATTLE. he city lies eight-five miles northeast of Saloniki. Its occupation came as the climax of a bitterly tenacious battle in which attackers and defenders rivaled in gallantry and stubbornness. The defense be-came untenable after the Franco-Serbian forces had wrested the naturally powerful positions on the Cerna River from the Bulgars and Germans, at the same time smashing the southern approaches. Screening the gradual evacuation of the city, the defenders battled stubbornly for every inch of ground in the Cerna bend. Even now fight-ing there is in full swing. The French war office reports the repulse of new Bulgarian counter-attacks against Hill 1,312. It was the pos- Continued on 2d Page, 6th Column. Francis Joseph Work Despite Slight Fever BY INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE VIENNA, Nov. 19.-The royal physicians issued the following bulletin regarding the health of Emperor Francis Joseph: The Emperor this morning had a slight temperature, resembling fever; his catarrh is unchanged. The action of his heart is good; respiration calm. Despite his sickness the Emperor devoted all of yesterday to his work. He held several audiences. FRANCIS JOSEPH TO SHARE RULE WITH ARCHDUKE Monarch to Elevate Heir on 68th Anniversary of Ascension to Throne. BY WILLIAM BAYARD HALE Staff Correspondent of International News Service. BERLIN (Via Sayville wireless). Nov. 19.-Amid the shock of battle in which Austria-Hungary is defending her own frontiers and carrying the war into hostile countries, comes the news of the sixty-eighth anniversary of the throne ascension of Emperor Francis Joseph, on December 2, which will be made the occasion of a proclamation of historic importance for the Hapsburg monarchy. It is announced from Vienna that the venerable monarch will proclaim the extension of the soveriegn right to Archduke Carl Franz Joseph, which virtually gives the latter the rank of co-regent. EMPEROR IS INDISPOSED. Francis Joseph is now in his eighty-sixth year. For ten days past he has been mildly indisposed, due to a stubborn catarrhal affection, notwithstanding which the Emperor assidiously carried on his laborious daily routine. In voluntarily resigning his prerogatives to the youthful heir of the dual throne, Francis Joseph is emulating the example of the great Maria Theresa, who, while still in the possession of her full faculties of statesmanship after the death of her spouse, appointed her son, later Joseph II., co-regent, with the object of apprenticing the youth to the responsibilities awaiting him. EXPERIENCE FOR YOUTH. It is not improbable that the action now forecast springs from the same motives, for the war has burdened the aged monarch with a multitude of duties which younger shoulders might well assume. The Archduke for some time past had been active as the personal representative of Francis Joseph both in a military and diplomatic capacity. He is now colonel general in charge of an important section of the east front. The Archduke is barely thirty and is a robust figure. He is credited with exceptionally mature political and military judgements. Italians Captured in Vippach Valley BY INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE VIENNA, Nov. 19.-The capture of prisoners in the Vippach Valley is the only mention made by the Austro-Hungarian War Office to-day of operations on the Italian front. The statement says: "In the Italian war theater four officers and 120 Italian soldiers were taken prisoner." JEKYLL-HYDE GROCER SLAIN ROBBING SHOP Wentworth Avenue Merchant Shot When Police Surprise Trio Hauling $3,000 in Clothing From Store. Two Companions, Unhurt, Escape; Suspects Later Arrested; Dead Man of Good Repute. Forest Park Police ended a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde career for Angello Gammato, grocer at 2216 Wentworth avenue, early Sunday morning by shooting him down as he hauled $3,000 worth of stolen merchandise away from a store at 7337 West Madison street. Gammato and two companions, loading the wearing apparel upon the wagon he used for grocery deliveries by day, were fired upon by Policeman Herman Errgang. Cammato fell dead, but his companions escaped unhurt. Upon word from Forest Park police, detectives from the Twenty-second Street Station went to the Gammato store. They took inot custody Annodeo Gaeci, 259 Alexander place, who appeared to open the shop at Mrs. Gammato's request. HAD "MOVING JOB." Through information from the wife they also found Bernardo Lacceso and Vinceno Coppo at 259 Alexander place, who went out with Gammato to do a "moving job" Saturday night, according to the wife. They denied implication in the robbery attempt. The police are convinced that Lacceso was one of Gammato's companions. They are seeking Antone Baccarelli as the other. Also three loaded revolvers found under the wagon seat convinced them that the men constituted a desperate band. Leo Rrronson, owner of the Forest Park Style Shop, where the men were making their haul, said there had been many such burglaries in suburban towns. "Although there is nothing startling about Lacceso and Baccarelli being mixed up in work of this sort, it is different with Gammato," said Detective Sergeant Camillo of the Twenty-second Street Station. "Gammato has always been looked upon as a respectable, hard-working merchant." --- DIET KITCHEN AT EXHIBIT A hospital diet kitchen where uniformed nurses serve invalid food- and real coffee-to the guests, will be one of the exhibits of the Rotary Club business show at the Hotel Sherman to-morrow evening and Wednesday afternoon. The kitchen will be the exhibit of the Memorial Hospital, 460 East Thirty-second street.

Healy, who directed the crusade, declared they will launch others week or every day if necessary until their precincts are cleaned up. FROG CLUB IS RAIDED. The notorious Frog Club at 3400 South State street, run by a negro, Sidney Dago, was one of the places raided. The detectives who forced their way in at the front door made quicker progress than those sent to the back. The negro dice players crowded the windows on the second floor rear, and many escaped by jumping before they were held back by police revolvers. A spirited crap game in the Cosmopolitan garage, 3346 Indiana Avenue, among chauffeurs for the rich was also raided and the gamblers arrested. The police said it was an impromptu game and that no blame attached to the owner of the place. NINE PLACES VISITED.

The inmates colored and white-were thrown into a panic and many tried to escape. Mose Masser, arrested before for similar offenses, according to the police, was booked as keeper of the place. Mrs. Anna Smith was arrested as keeper of the Court Hotel. Charles Brown was taken into custody on the charge of operating a gambling house at 2223 Cottage Grove avenue. --- Russian Casualties Since June, 2,128,474 --- BY INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE BERLIN (via Sayville wireless), Nov. 19--The semi-official Overseas News Bureau quotes the Central Identification Bureau of Kieff as stating that Russian casualties since June 1, 1916, were 100,621 officers and 2,027,853 men, a total of 2,128,474.

MISS RUTH LAW, aviatrix, photographed behind the wheel of her Curtiss "baby biplane" in Grant Park yesterday just before the start of her record-breaking flight to Binghamton, N.Y. day admitted for the first time the torpedoing by a German submarine of the Peninsula and Oriental liner Arabia. The following statement was issued: The German admiralty on November 15 reported that a German submarine, eighty miles west of Malta, sank a 12,000-ton hostile transport sailing under convoy. The British admiralty declares this report incorrect. This is an evident attempt to mislead public opinion for the following reasons. A German submarine on November 5 sank a hostile transport of 12,000 tons eighty miles west of Malta. The transport Arabia like-wise was sunk by a submarine on November 6 300 miles east of Malta. The transport Arabia carried a fifteen-centimeter gun and was carrying hundreds of workingmen for employment on war materials in France. If the English government permitted passengers on board an armed transport lives of noncombatants were frivolously risked, as in former cases. --- To Petter Richardson!

Five women were trapped by the flames had to be rescued from the roof by firemen with ladders, and three firemen were plunged into the basement when a floor collapsed and had to be rescued by their comrades. The greatest excitement came when the firemen throw from upper floors wooden milliner and dressmaker models, and the spectators thought they were hurling women to the street. No damage was done to the Palmer House. Sixteen women were asleep in the building when fire started in the basement - in millinery stores. Eleven escaped down the stairs, but five were cut off by flames and fled to the roof, whence they were rescues by Pipemen Frank Steffel, Michael McGovern and Besebeck. A 3-11 alarm was turned in. The main floor collapsed, carrying into the basement with it the firemen who had just rescued the five women. They were dragged out, cut and bruised, but remained on duty.

Ruth Bancroft Law, sister of Rodman Law, the parachute jumper, yesterday won decognition as the foremost aviator of America. Though she did not achieve her plan of flying from Chicago to New York in seven hours, the intrepid aviatrix smashed several world's records before engine trouble forced her to descend at Binghamton, N. Y., for the night. She will resume her flight this morning. Among the feats Bliss Law accomplished were: Broke the American record for nonstop flying, traveling to Hornell, N. Y., 666 miles. The previous record, made by Victor Carlstrora when he attempted a Chicago-New York nonstop trip November 2, was 480 miles. Her time for this distance is 54hours 38 minutes, or an average speed of 120 miles an hour. Carlstrom's time for his 480 miles was 4 hours 17 1/2 minutes, an average of 107 miles an hour.
