By a sudden blow on the Doiran front, 38 ' miles north of Salonlca, French troops have ; cipturcd the railway station at Doiran, evacuated by the Allies when they retreated i from Serbia last fall. An official statement from the French War OfTlco carried this an- . nounctment this afternoon. : An Athens dispatch to the Central News at about the same hour reported a- great battle' raging on the Balkan front. The Allies have occupied not drily tho Doiran i station, but high ground adjacent, tho dls- ttch eald. Itofte British War Office thus far has 'f5K no announcement of the beginning iHf ' great drive expected to sweep the jinnies of the Central Empires out of Ser bia. For several days advices from Ger wn sources, however, have reported In creasing anxiety at Berlin over rumors that Una Allies' Balkan offensive was about to Win wljlle the great triple offensive on the western, eastern and Italian fronts are lUnder way. gTbe Allhn, Berlin reported, planned to iqueeie the Austro-Germnns and Bulgara b pressure on four front3 simultaneously, loping at the came time to draw Rumania Into the war against the Austro-Germans. gNo Important fighting ha3 occurred on the Balkan front since last December, when the Anglo-French expeditionary forces under General Sarrall, retired from southern Scr Wa. under heavy pressure by superior forces tfAuatro-Giirmans and Bulgars. Artillery ngajemenU have taken place at several pojnts, and the Bulgars on one occasion crested the Greek border and occupied small torts north cf Demirhlssar. gThe fighting at Doiran, officially an. jounced today, Is the most Important Bal bn engagement since the Allied retreat.

The police say he may" have come to his death In one of these three ways: He may have been thrown or may have fallen from the second-story win dow of the house occupied by Mrs. May Stelgerwald. In a fight with some person a fight In the hall .of the house he may have been shoved out the door and down tho steps against the foot scraper. Or, as witnesses so far have said, he may have lost his balance as he was ringing the front door bell of the house, falling down the steps against the foot scraper. Dr. Thomas A. Shallow, 2043 Walnut street, the first physician called to examine Frankenfield, said today that It was difficult for him to believe that the man could have received the Injuries he did In a fall down 42 Inches of steps. "It might be possible for a man to re ceive such Injuries," said the physician, "but ordinarily a greater fall than that Quarantlno of vice resorts as tho most effective remedy, as opposed to segregation, Is upheld by the Grand Jury In Its present ment covering three weeks' Investigation of conditions prevailing In this city.

Tho rules of tho Bureau of Polico provide that an accused member of tho department be arraigned beforo a court composed of his superiors. Robinson has no superior or even equal in tho grades composing tho bureau. The Bureau of 'Police generally Is given a, clean bill of health, the jury declaring that "the Bureau of Police Is comparatively free from pernicious evil." Tho Jury advo cates an Increase of 500 men to tho present force, with a general Increase of pay throughout the department. Segregation of disorderly houses Is re garded by the Jurors as affording no satis factory solution to the question under con sideration. Contrary to the advance rumors of Its Intention, the report sets forth that the Jury looks upon tho vice quarantine as at present maintained the best remedy thus far offered to check the evil. r Recommendations Made by the Grand Jury 1.

A fight for 10-cent bread will probably be made ln this city by members of the National Association of Master Bakers, fol lowing the convention now In progress at Salt Lake City, About 12 of the 1000 or more bakers In Philadelphia tare members of that body. The local members are large producers, however? and It was estimated that they, supply about 40 per cent of the bread dally consumed In the' city. It was explained by a baker this morning that the cost of flour and other ingre dients used In making bread have increased to such an extent that the movement Is really necessity. A 10-cent loaf can be Just twice the weight of the present 6-cent loaf. The cost of labor, such as mixing, baking and delivery, are the same as on a smaller loaf and as on a 10-cent loaf. One baker said that it did not require any more labor, such as mixing, baking and delivery, to supply the consumer with a larger loaf than with the five-cent bread. He contended that a 10-cent loaf would con tain more bread than two small loavea by reason of the great reduction of crust. Colonel Louis J- Koib, a member of the National Association of Master Bakers, and head of the Kolb Baking Company, said this morning: "Tha prlco of flour has been doubled during tbe last year and that of shortenings was increased' about 60 per cent The 5-cent loaf is an economic loss. I have not planned any increase in the price of bread at tbe present time. If bread is raised to 10 cents it tnlght prove to be only a temporary condition," WOULD ABOLISH VICE SQUAD. The Grand Jury recommended that the Vice squad be abolished and that its mem bers be amalagamated with the Detective Bureau. The Grand Jury said that either Captain Kenny or Superintendent Robinson Is responsible for tho abominable conditions In the Sixth and Eighth Districts. It sug gests that a Trial Board determine Robin Bon's responsibility because the Jury men think they have not learned the whole truth. Among the reasons for disorderly houses the Jury named the profitable rentals. They also-blamed derelictions of the Individual policemen and followod these reasons with political Interference and lelnency of the courts. AS TO BRIBERY CHARGES. The jury recommends that Director WI1 son Investigate thoroughly the cases of Policemen William Tyson, John E. Bar rett, Jacob Marbet and Michael Kearse, charged with accepting protection money from women; also, that he review care- fully the cases of Policeman Charles O'Draln and Thomas NIlBon for their con nection with tho Haverford Club, 612 Arch street. The jury also recommended that Inves tlgatlon be made Into the discharge with out hearing of former State Representa tive William need and four other men who were taken In one of the raided houses. Conditions In the Sixth and Eighth dis tricts were described as intolerable. The Grand Jury In Its finding that quar antine was the most effective remedy for dealing with vice complained that inefficient policemen often rendered such quarantine Ineffective. The Jurymen denounced the system of fining Inmat'es of disorderly houses. They said that these women simply looked on the fine as license money, and they suggested that the whole fine system be done away with, because fines were so much "blood money" for the State or the politicians and the lawyers who prey on these women. They recommended a prison term Instead of the fining system.' They also urget that men who prey upon such womerrbe excluded from all hearings. They said that the testimony did little to prove that the police' were linked with politics, but added that, nevertheless, they believed them to be so interlinked, and sug gested that the Mayor take steps to divorce the police from politics. The report was presented to Judge Rogers In Quarter Sessions Court today by Henry 3. Barnard, foreman of the jury. The voluminous presentment; was completed only a short time prior to its submission to tho court It was signed by all of the jurors who had sat throughout the three weeks' proceedings. Judge Rogers made no comment upon tbe report itself, hut thanked the jurors for their services and the extensive investiga tion they had given to Uw vice situation and then dismissed them. He said the sug gestions contained In the presentment would be turned oyer to the proper authorities for their action. Judge Rogers subsequently That the quarantine in the Tonderloln is the moat ef fective method for dealing with vice, except in cases where individual po licemen aro inefficient. 2 That Superintendent of Po- lice James Robinson be tried beforo tho Police Board of Inquiry. 3 That Police Lieutenants Jo- seph Van Horn, of the Tenth nnd Buttonwood Btrcets sta tion, and George Stinger, of tho Eleventh and Winter streets sta tion, and Charles Lee, head of tho Vice Squad, all now under suspen sion, bo reinstated. 4 That Magistrate Call, and his constable, Edward Beau mont, be indicted in connection with straw-bail cases growing out of the recent raid.

Tha quarantine extends from Kalghn avenue to Lino street In Locust street.

RUSSIANS NEAR HALICZ IN DASH WEST OF LIPA 1 Seal Fate of Stanislau by; Surprise Attack Far ther North FLANKING FACES FOES Austrians Preparing to Make Stand Against Italians on New Lino Tho groat battlo for tho possession of Lomborg is rapidly approaching its decisivo stago. Today's reports from Petrograd indicato thnt, contrary to ex pectations during the early days of tho great Slav offensive, tho main Russian blow against tho Galicinn capital is to bo struck from tho southwest. Tho final engagement will probably bo fought nt IJaliczt toward which point part of tho forces of General Lctchit sky nro marching. By a sudden nd vanco westward from tho Zlota Llpa Rivor, which they, crossed in a dash that took tho Austrians entirely by surprise, part of Lctchitsky's forces havo advanced to within 10 miles from Halicz, which is north of Stanislau and 58 mile3 southeast of Lemberg. Tho unexpected drive on Halicz aiong tho north bank of the Dniester, .therefore, not only seals tho fate of Stanislau, but puts tho Austrian army defending both Stanislau and Halicz in a pro carious position, from which it can ox tricato itself only by defeating tho Russians or retreating quickly boyond Lemberg, thus abandoning the city to the forces of the Czar. The official re port from Petrograd states that tho Russians ore only two miles irom Stanislau. Bridges have already been thrown across the Bistritza River, pre paratory to entrance into the city. On' the Sereth front, which is in North Galicia, the army of General Sakharoff is pushing its advance on Lemberg westward. The Russians havo captured several villages and occupied a commanding ridge on tho right bank of tho river. Thus are the two arms of tho Rus sian "nut-drackor" in Galicia, both of which are about the same distance from Lemberg, closing in upon the army of General Count von Bothmer. With Gorizia firmly jn their hands, the Italian armies of the Duke of Aosta nre attacking the Austrian lines on a front of 30 miles in their drive on Trieste. Terrific fighting is being waged on the Alpine summits, which rise out of the Isonzo Valley. The Italians aro now in complete control of the four crests of Monto San Michele, and aro fighting to gain a foothold in the Do berdo basin, a part 'of the vast Carso Plateau, across which their advance to Trieste must be mnde. French attacks on the Sommo and Verdun fronts have won more ground, according to the Paris War Ofllce. North of Bazentin-le-Petit and in tho district of Pozieres the British havo pressed the Germans back. A deter mined Teuton counter-attack was re pulsed with bloody losses. RUSSIANS CROSS DNIESTER IN 3IARCII ON HALICZ; READY TO ENTER STANISLAU CITY PETROGRAD, Aug. 1J. Striking westward with amazing rapidity the right wing of General Lctchitsky's army has reached the Dniester River south of Marlampol, which is only 10 miles from the Important fortified town of Halicz, It was" officially announced today. News of this Important success tempo rarily overshadowed the advance against the city of Stanislau, south of Halicz, the fall of which is now regarded as a matter of but a few hours. The War Office an nounced that bridges are being thrown across the Bistritza River three miles east of Stanislau preparatory to an advance on the city, and also reported fresh victories on the South River, 00 miles east of Lem berg, where several villages and woods were, captured. The town of Halicz, lying" at the railway crossing of the Dniester, and but 68 miles southeast of' Lemberg, has been described as the key to any operation against the Galiclan capital from the southwest It was eipected that Gneral Letchltzky would first take Stanislau and then move north ward against Halicz. Austrians were pre pared for a moat stubborn resistance at the Haltcs bridgehead, where they expected to block the crossing of the Dniester and a further advance by the Czar's troopa against Lemberg. Letchltsky evidently took the enemy by complete surprise. Throwing a force across, tha Zlota Llpa River northeast of Stanislau.
