Even with the greatest force the Anglo-French Governments can muster the Germanic armies will outnumber them two to one, while the Austro-German artillery is in the proportion of five to one. _The Azest, Budapest, October, 1915._ [Illustration] _OCTOBER IN SERBIA_ _(October in Holland is called the "butcher's month," as the flocks are then killed preparatory to the winter.)_ * * * * * On October 7th, 1915, an army of 400,000 Austrians, Hungarians and Germans forced the Danube and commenced the great drive on Serbia; by the 10th the invaders had captured Belgrade. At the same moment the Bulgarians in great force attacked the Serbians on their right flank and by the 28th joined forces with the Teutonic troops. [Illustration] _THE KAISER COUNTS THE BAG_ * * * * * On October 13, 1915, about 9:30 at night, fire opened from the skies on the centre of London. That same evening parts of the Eastern Counties were attacked. In London alone 32 were killed and 95 injured, and the total casualties for the whole area of the raid that night were 56 killed and 113 wounded. A number of houses were damaged, and several fires started. Most of the victims were ordinary working folk, doing their ordinary work. Motor omnibus conductors died in the street, a messenger boy was killed when delivering a message, a potman died at his work, a caterer was killed while returning from a Masonic lodge, a carman's daughter was injured in the legs and lingered until the next morning, a waitress was done to death while returning from a Young Women's Guild, and so on. _Times History of the War._ [Illustration] "_THE ENTRY INTO CONSTANTINOPLE_" _The Kaiser_: "_Who is this man?_" * * * * * The German Emperor will spend Christmas in Constantinople at the head of his victorious troops. _The Pesti-Napols, Budapest. October, 1915._ [Illustration] _GO TO YOUR HEREDITARY ENEMY, BULGARIA_ * * * * * It must not be forgotten that Greece is an independent nation that disposes of its fate in full sovereignty. The Austro-German attack on Serbia releases Greece at least from the obligation of armed intervention, and independent of that attack it is materially impossible for Serbia to give Greece the support of 150,000 men stipulated in the treaty in case of war with Bulgaria, the Entente powers have not furnished a contingent equivalent. _Grecian Note of October 26, 1915._ I deplored the fact that Serbia is being left to be crushed by Bulgaria, Greece's hereditary enemy, who will not scruple later to fall on Greece herself. _From speech of_ VENIZELOS _before dissolution of his Government._ _November 3, 1915._ [Illustration] "_THEY BOWED THE KNEE BEFORE HIM_" _The extermination of Armenian Christians, Autumn of 1915_ * * * * *
