War Moves on All Fronts

1 Balkan front Tho Bulga-
rians have attacked tho
cities of Kavala and of Drama, In
Eastern Macedonia. Greece Is
aroused by this new development In
the Balkan situation, as Kavala has
been long coveted by the Bulgara as
tho only desirable port for them on
the Aegean Sen. The Bulgnrs have
taken the fortress of Sartiln, de
fended by Greeks.
2 Western front Gorman nt-
tacks on Verdun and Cham
pagne fronts have been repulsed.
3 Caucasus front The Rus-
sians, h n v i n g recaptured
Mush, aro again advancing south
ward. 4 Eastern front The Rus-
sinn War Office announces
that tho Czar's troops have resumed
offensive operations on tho Carpa
'thlans and have captured a village
near tho Hungarian frontier.
LONDON. Aug. !G. Tho Bulgarians,
driving deeper Into oastern Macedonia, have
attacked tho Orcck port of Kavala and tho
town of Drama, both garrisoned by Greek
troops. Thus tho Issuo between Sofia and
Athens has como to a crisis.
Bulgarian troops captured tho Greek
fortress of Sartlla, putting tho ontlro gar
iHcon, Including tho commnndor, to tho
sword, says a Salonlca dispatch to tho Paris
Matin today.
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. Sofia, Athens
knows, Is determined to gain Kavala as her
share of tho spoils. Onco sho wins It, she
will not relinquish It without a struggle
- VOLUNTEERS ENLIST.
Volurtecrs contlnuo to flock to the colors.
The commander at Seres, who, according
to last reports, was defying tho order of
his superiors and resisting stanchly tho
advance of tho Bulgars, has recolved many
recruits. The continued march of tho in
vader doubtless will bring many more
troops to tho Greek leaders.
Berlin recognizes tho menace In the Bul
bar advance. 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.
SALONICA, Aug, 26. Bulgarian forces
that have been operating cast of the Struma
Blver In the sector of Seres, have advanced
SO miles In a southeasterly direction, mean
while engaging both British and Greek
troops.
Tho Bulgar forco is made up of regu
lars belonging to the tenth division and of
ComltadJIs.
Infantry, cavalry and artillery are all
engaged In the fighting east of Lake
"Taehlno, where the Bulgarians are engaged
In a desperate effort to reach Pravlshta and
Kavala, both of which towns are held by
Greek troops.
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.
Thousands . of refugees are pouring
toward Salonlca and other coast cities,
: bringing terrible Btories of barbarities in

Violent artillery duels continue along the
center, on both sides of the Vardar river.

The Allies' great offensive on the Somme,

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,

Eight-Hour Day
WILSON AWAITS ANSWER
WASHINGTON, Aujr. 2G. The rail
way presidents and managers com
pleted their answers to President Wil
son's proposition to avert a strike
shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon.
They at once notified the White House
thdt they were ready to present it.
Arrangements were made immediately
for a committee to call on the President.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26. 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

costed by a group of youths in
park shortly before Edward Bo
land was shot dead.
Through Information which has been ob
tained by tho Kvenino Luoann, tho police
may bo shown tho way to unravel Immedi
ately tho mystery of tho murder of Edward
Doland In Hairpin Turn of Nclll drive,
Falrmount l'arlc, Tuesday night.
Another motorist, tho Evcnwo Ledoeu
has learned, was Btoppcd by seven young
men at tho spot where Boland was killed
.20 minutes before tho murder, and one of
them said to the motorists
"Vour lights aro out; you'd better light
up or, you'll get pinched" mo name words
used, by "Boland to the ittotorrat who Bhot
and .hilled him.

' And tho motorist; who was stopped by
tho gang'i 20 . minutes before Boland met
his dcali said: (
"If I had lian a gun when they stopped
me, I would have shot, too."
This other motorist Is Moy.cr Cossoy, a
manufacturer of cabinets and ofllce par
titions at 210 and 242 Cherry street. He
thought, ho said, that tho men who stopped
him wcro highwaymen. With his wife,

of a. similar encounter with a gang In Fair
mount park, a half mile from the place of
the murder, within the same hour ot night
the murder occurred. The gang, .he' said,
pursued the same tactics as when Boland
was shot.
MOTORIST SAW nUSE.
Mr. Cossoy said that the lights of hli
automobile were burning when the young
men attempted to stop the car, Wjien the
gang leader stepped from the roadside di
rectly In front of the automobile and
warned him about the lights, Cossoy said
he felt that the. move was a ruse to get
him to stop so the automobile party might
be robbed. The leader of the gang was
standing within 10 Inches of the hopd of the
automobile. Tho others were at the road
ride. .
Simon Yellln, who was taking the 'Cossoy
family out for an evening's ride, also feared
the men Intended to rob the party, He
switched the clutch Into high speed and
nearly ran over the young man In his efforts
to escape the gang.
The automobile rounded Hairpin Turn
and went for two miles before Vellln re
duced speed. The occupants believed that
they were being pursued by the fellows.
When they found they were not pursued
Yellln drove direct to the CosBoy home,
The occupants of the car were much
frightened by the appearance of the young
men, who had stopped the car. And they
were puzzled at the admonition to "light
up" when the lights of the machine -were .
on and glaring ahead down Hairpin Turn.
