BULGARS HAMMER AT ALLIES LINES Infantry Made Five Different Assaults After Violent Bombardment and Were Driven Back With Heavy Losses. A great battle is under way in southern Serbia. The most desperate attacks yet made by the Bulgarians against the Anglo-French allies are being launched in the triangle formed by the Cerna and Vardar rivers in a terrific effort to hurl the French and British soldiers over the Greek fron- tier. A critical situation exists for it is not known what action the Greeks may take if French and British troops and the handful of Serbians fighting with them are forced upon Greek soil. Bulgar forces, amounting to possi- bly four divisions (40,000 men), are reported in the region of Doiran. Si- multaneously German forces are form. ing in front of the allies’ line. The German forces are probably of the army of General von Gallwitz, which, since the Austrian-German ar- my of Field Marshal von Mackensen and the Bulgarian army of General Boyadjieff have effected a junction, 1 i | = New Advertisements.

SWABB, Administrator, Linden Hall, Pa, 6)-49-6t OTICE is hereby given that an application will be made to the Public Service Com- mission of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl- i vania for the approval of an Ordinance enacted | hy the Borough of Centre Hall, in the County of Centre, granting the State-Centre Electric Com- pany a franchise to do business in said Borough. entitled “An Ordinance granting the State-Cen- tre Electric Company, its successors, lessees and assigns, the right to construct, operate and main- tain poles, wires, and cables, and fixtures, togeth- er with the necessary supports upon, over and along and under the streets, highways, foot- walks, lanes and alleys of the Borough of Centre Hall, Centre County, Pennsylvania, for the pur- pose of furnishing electric light, heat and power for domestic and industrial purposes, and limit. ing the rights and privileges of said Electric Company, its successors, lessees and assigns.

Aeroplanes | believed to have been operated by | German aviators attempted to direct | the cannonade, but the machines were | put to flight by British aviators. t At four o'clock in the afternoon the | bombardment suddenly ceased, and the Bulgarian infantry moved forward to the assault. They were met with | a galling fire from the British soldiers who had been well protected by their | deep earth trenches. Five different | assaults were made by the Bulgarians, | but they finally abandoned their ef-| fort to break the British front. The French war office in its report recites the driving back of a Bulgar. | fan attack at Demirkapou on the Var dar river, on Sunday afternoon. | Although the Germans have an-! nounced the capture of the Ipek, in Montenegro, the pursuing Austrian and the Bulgarian armies evidently are confronted with a harder task on the Montenegrin frontier than- else- where. The Montenegrins continue to offer their spirited resistance and to check the invaders wherever pos- sible by sharp counter attacks. Berlin reports that eighty cannon were taken with the capture of Ipek, and that more than 2000 prisoners were captured. Sofia announces that Bulgarian troops have captured Dibra in south. western Serbia, and that a Bulgarian army is advancing on Ochrida. | BOOKS, MAGAZINES, Etc.
