Henry Ford well enough to be sure

that no element of self-interest enteredj into his quixotic Fcheme to sire thiworld from ItMlf.

What Detroit Says.The fact that cities have a certain

vocal equipmrn* was established by thelata 0. Henry. Detroit has, for one,

and this 1» what it» conglomerate voiceis saying these days:"Well, what's the laugii ? Ford and

»quirral» all mixed up together? Don't

It hasn't been decided yet whetherthere will be a public demonstrationwhen Henry Kord arrives, but it i«

Serb Defence Betrayedby False Trust in Allies

Misled by Promises. Serbians Gave Up Strongest Positionsand Broke Century's Tradition Against Retreat

Says Correspondent with Army.

Gordon Gordos, Smith, the special correspondent oi The Tribune \n the

Balkans, WOS one of thé few tunespopor me* to accompany the Serb army

in iti> arduous totrooi aeróos the Albanian mountains, und Au» story is one

of the first to describe 'he sufterinus of that journey and the Serbian be¬

trayal by the Allie*.Prizrend. which Ixet fifteen miles from The Albanian frontier, iras thé

last town to be held by the Serbs before they abandoned the ¡¡is* foot of

th*ir native SOU,Mr. fiordon-Smit}, has note reached Duraazo, and will rabie from there

his extienenrrH during 'he Albanian part of the retreat.

By GORDON GORDON-SMITH.[By ('al'lo to The Tribune]

Prizrend by courier to Durazzo), Dec. 7..When I arrived at mess

of the headquarters' staff it was clear that some momentous decision «a«

impending. Officers of various sections of the Serbian army were stand

ir.g about in groups discussing the situation with grave faces. Thefact that the Serbian government headquarters, the staff of the Kingr.nd the Crown Prince, who «rai commander in chief of the army, were

together in the same town for the first time for month« showed thrtt

the situation had reached its most critical point.During lunch my vis-à-vis. a major of a "section des operations." in¬

formed me that the first act of the great Serb tragedy had reached it.«

conclusion. The news had just been received that the last desperateeffort to break through the Bulgarian lines at Krivolak and march on

Uskub had failed. As a result the whole of the Austro-German and

Rulgarian forces; were concentrating on Prizrend.T»n ''ourses Open to Serb«.

Only two course? remained. Either unconditional surrender or the

withdrawal of the King and government anil what remained of the army

into Albania. It was the latter course which had been decided upon.The troop« were ordered to find their way into Albania by three route«:

Irizrend-Scutari via Lium Koula, Prizrend-Scutari via Ipek and Andrea-vigticha. and Prizrend-Durazzo via Dibra and El Hasan.

The route to Scutari via Lium Koula was that chosen for the royalhousehold, the jrovernnient and headquarters staff. As it is the longestand most difficult of the three routes the choice was somewhat mysterious.but I understand that there wore political reason« for it which escape theken of the uninitiated.

For months preceding tne German-Bulga' attack warnings tha' KingFerdinand was pledged to thi- (entrai Powers were ceaselessly telegraphedfrom N'sh, Bucharest and At her..-. To these the Allies turned a deaf ear,

assuring the Serbians that Bulgaria was about to join the QuadrupleAlliance.

The iiagotiitiiBI of the '2.i0.000,000-franc gold loin in Berlin, the con¬

clusion of the Turko-Bulganan treaty and the official congratulationssent by the Vice-Presider.t of the Sobranje to the Kaiser on his victoriesir, Poland could not shake this robust faith. The Allies continued to offer

i parr of Serbian Macedonia and the Greek town« of Garvallo, Dramaand Seres and Rumanian Dabroutches to Bulgaria in payment, and theieby
