70 miles northwest of Salonlca.
The B ulnars emerged from the village
of Fiorina and, attempted an ndvance south
ward. At the same time other strong Bul
garian detachments attempted an offensive
along the Monastlr-Salonlca Railway. The
Serbs drove In the right Dank of the Bul
garian force from Fiorina, forcing tho en
em back upon the town and at the same
time made a vigorous attack eastward as
far an Lake Ostrovo. Fighting Is still
going on.
Bulgarian forces are advancing south of
the Greek town of Fiorina, despite stubborn
Serbian resistance. Stubborn fighting con
tinued all day Saturday near Banltza, 31
miles northwest of Salonlca.
Unofficial reports stnto that the western
Bulgar forces advancing from Fiorina have
occupied the heights dominating Spesda,
only a short distance from Korlt.a, the
French nnd Serbian troops In that region
having retired. (Korltsa Is in Albanian
territory, west of Avlona.) Tho official
Serbian rtport, however, makes no mention
of any Bulgarian movement In this direc
tion, nnd states that the Serb advance
guards nre In contact with the Bulgarians
In the region of Fiorina.
BERLIN. Aug 21 Bulgaria's army, ac
cording to today's dispatches from Sofia,
not only anticipated a great offensive by the
Entcnto Allies from Salonlca, but struck
the Anglo-French forces when they were
least expecting It, thus advancing nt vnrlous
points a distance of from G to 20 miles.
For sovornl weeks ammunition has been
going forward to tho Bulgarian forces. Most
of It has come from German munition fac
tories. This supply service was halted for
a time when the Anglo-French offcnslvo on
tho Somme began, but this wns only a pre
cautionary measure, as It was soon learned
thnt tho German troops In tho west had
sufficient ammunition to cope with the situa
tion there.

officially nnnounced today, making prog
ress near Toboly and In tho region of
Rudka Czerwlsche.
In Friday and Saturday's fighting on
this front 1166 prisoners, one cannon, 18
machine guns and other material were cap
tured. Slowly but surety tho Czar's forces are
opening up the way for tho Invasion of
Hungary through the Jablonltza and Kodna
Passes In the Carpathians. Late dispatches
from the front report the successful con
quest of Important heights In both regions
by tho Russians.
Heavy blows have been struck by the
Russians at both ends of the line held by the
armies of General Bruoslloff. while the dead
lock on tho center brought about by the
counter-ntneks of General von Bothmer's
Austro-Hungarian, German and Turkish
forces continued.
In the region West of Lake Nobel and
farther Bouth on tho Stokhod River, In Vol

terial gains. The Russian forces that cap
tured Tuboly, In the sector, are pressing
westward.
BERLIN. Aug. 21.
Heavy Russian attacks on the Stokhod
River front, northeast of Kovel, were re
pulsed with Bcvere Russian losses, It was
officially announced this afternoon.

and Maurepas, six German cannon were
captured. . .
Practically the whole of the village of
Maurepas Is now In French hands as the
result of Thursday's fighting and local ac
tions since that time. The French first cap
tured a number ot strong positions at the
outskirts of the town and then drove the
Germans from the remainder of the village
with their artillery. Germnn artillery
made It Inadvisable for the French to oc
cupy the remainder of Maurepas until
French lines were advanced further north
of the village. -
A violent artillery duol has been raging
on the Somme front. The Germans opened
with a tremendous bombardment of the
ground captured by the French between
Gulllemont and Maurepas. The French re
plied with terrific gusts of gunfire to pre
vent the Germans from delivering counter
attacks. The duel then spread all along
the line.

The revenue 1)111 Is tho last big measure
on this Msslon's legislative- program, and,
unless too much opposition develops on the
Democratic side, leaders on both sides are
hopeful of adjournment next Saturday. The

their opposition tn set speeches, but will
make no efforts to delay passage of the
bill. Senators Penrose, Smoot, Oalllnger,
Harding, Curtis and Sherman will present
the Republican arguments against this bill.
Despite tho caucus Indorsement ot the
bill, Democratic leaders did not conceal
their fear that the real light against tho bill
would be made by Insurgents on their own
side. Senator Underwood, of Alabama,
author of the Underwood tariff, has given
notlco of his Intention of fighting the tariff
