Aroused by tho strugglo between tho In vader and tho Greek garrison at Sores, the Oiceks aro prepared to dlsputo fiercely tho efforts to eoIzo two of their most Important towns In Macedonia. Kavala has long been a bono of conten tion between tho Greek and tho Bulgar. After tho First Balkan War Sofia con t led that this Aegean port should bo hers 1 ause of her victory over tho Turk. But Alliens refused to glvo It up. Borlln and Sbfia liavo given assurances it Athens that tho occupation of tho Maco ' donlan towns would bo moroly part of a do-fenslyo-oftolise,, and that they would, not be retained. This promlso, made last .May, appeased tho Greek Government and en abled King Contantlno to keep tho country neutral. But the new advanco'of the Bulgar Is vlowed with grave suspicion.

Dispatches from Berlin, which 6t' lack confirmation, state that tho Ger mans have ordored the Bulgars to evacuate Greek territory, on tho ground that a further advance Into Macedonia will rouse the Greeks into war on tho side of tho Entente Allies. But the Bulgar generals appar ently have decided to Ignore any such orders and aro pushing on. A dispatch from Petrograd says that offi cial announcement was made by tho War Office today that the Russian army recently landed at Salonlca has joined tho Allied armies under General Sarratl In Greek Macedonia.

A big area of eastern Greek Macedonia Is being devastated. The. British have de stroyed a number of bridges over the Angsta river and Bulgars are leaving a trail of desolation in their wake.

HEME ZIMMERMAN TO JOIN MORAN'S PHILS IN THE NEAR FUTURE Weeghman Accepts Terms for Cub Star and No Hitch Is Likely in Deal Stock May Go TINKER WANTS COOPER v"& ?'' , HEINIE ZIMMERMAN By CnANDLER D. RICHTER ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 26. Manager Moran, of the Phillies, and Owner Charles Weeghman, of tho Chicago Cubs, made arrangements ovor the lonfg-dlstance tele phone last night for a trade which will bring Heine Zimmerman, tho slugging third baseman, to the National League cham pions. Moran and Weeghman will meet In Chicago on Monday to closo the deal and there Is little chance of anything Interfering with the transfer of the fence-breaking Zimmerman. The deal will be an advantageous one for both clubs, Moron's sole object being to bring the pennant to the Phils this season. To do It he will be forced to part with a couple ot players he would like to keep for the future and a sum of money, Moran will not state who he Is prepared to turn over to the Cubs, but It Is likely to be Third Baseman Milton Stock and one or two pitchers Moran does not like to part' with Stock, aa the latter Is younger than Zimmerman and undoubtedly has a great future before htm, but the Chicago owners insist upon getting a capable inflelder In the deal. It la said that Manager Tinker wants Moran to throw In Outfielder Claude Cooper, but the Fhllly pilot will not listen to this proposition and It may cause a hitch In the deal, Moran is changing Cooper's style of bat ting, and he and the other Phllly players are ot the opinion that the former Federal Leaguer will be, one of the greatest out fielders In the game In another year. A few days ago we tipped the fans off to the fact that Moran was In the field for Zimmerman's .services, but dispatches from Chicago Indicated that Owner Weeghman had Just completed arrangements to send the slugging Zim to another team, but the truth of the matter is that Moran hat had the Inside track all along, and the only thing that can possibly block the deal now is the refusal of President Baker, of the Phils, to meet the Cubs' cash demand, ... - , h.j .-' "V " -" & '! - k " ' .

The show down In the fight between tho railroads and the railroad brotherhoods seemed at hand late this afternoon. The question of whether tho country's record-breaking Industrial ac tivity was to continue, or to be supplanted by stagnation, may be determined before night. For hours the heads of the American railways argued over the language In which they should declare to tho President their "final" Btand. They worked over and over the paragraphs of a proposal for settlement which they had little reason to believe the brotherhoods would accept, but which they desired to be an unanswerable brief of their side of the case. WILSON INSISTENT. At the White House the President de ferred meeting with the brotherhood rep resentatives until this proposition of the railroads had reached him. The word went out that, regardless of the belief of the railroad presidents In the finality of their own action, tho President was not prepared to allow the negotiations to drop. He would Insist on continuing efforts to pre vent the break. It was said. 'If the proposal forecast by the railroads Is made," an Admlnlstrat.sn official close to the President said, "the situation Is bad but It is not final." The President spent some time today with Secretary of the Interior Lane, who be cause of his long service on the Interbtate Commerce Commission has been one of the President's most important advisers In the railroad situation. Lane declined to dlscusa the matter when he left the White House. Senator Newlands, chairman of the Inter state Commerce Commission, also called at the White House. He left a written com-. munlcatlon. but Hs contents were kept secret. TRAINMEN IMPATIENT. The railroad brotherhood's 640 represent atives held an hour's session, discussing various phases ot the Issue and "killing time," Afterward many of them paid their hotel bills and gave up their rooms. They believed It would be possible to leave the city tonight. None of the brotherhood presidents, however, would express such a belief. The situation was as follows: The railway presidents and managers were in secret session n the Wlllard Hotel They had agreed to reject the President's demands that they give the "Big Four" brotherhood employes an CeatlsutJ a Paso Four.
