Line French Move Closer
to Combles
The Entente Allies have struck four smashing blows ngnlnst the Central
Empires, according to dispatches from Paris, London, Pctrogrnd, Salonica
and Rome. The successful attacks were delivered on the following fronts:
Balkan front, where the combined Franco-British-Serbinn troops crushed
the cntiro right wing of tho Bulgars and sent it into retreat toward the
Greek frontier.
Somme front, where the troops under Haig and Foch scored nnothcr
advance in the battle for Combles and Pcronne, the British advancing along n
six-mile front to a depth of from 2000 to 3000 yards and the French capturing
a system of German trenches at Rancourt.
Gallclan front, where the Russians are reported to have occupied Halicz,
key to Lemberg.
Italian front, where the Italians stormed positions eastward of"Vnllone,
on the Carso Plateau, taking trenches nnd capturing 2117 prisoners and a
number of guns.
The allied troops have won the greatest victory against tho Germans and
Bulgarians since the Balkan offensive began.
Tho Serbs drove the Bulgarians back ten miles In hasty retreat on the
allied left wing, capturing Gountchevo by a brilliant bayonet charge and
the major part of the crest of Markanidgc. Serbian cavalry pursued the
retreating Bulgarians and captured the village of Eksisus.
British troops,.hnve captured Matchoukovo and two heights north of the
latter village.'
French troops advanced simultaneously'with the Serbs and British and
launched an attack upon enemy trenches on a front of nearly a mile.
Despite the desperate resistance of tho German-Bulgarian forces, the
French succeeded In occupying defenses along a 1600-yard line.
British troops resumed their great offensive on the Somme this morning
with a powerful blow against the German lines north of the Somme, advancing
2000 yards on the wide front from Bouleaux Wood, northwest of Combles, to
a point north of the AJbert-Bapaumc road. Southeast of Thiepval the British
last night captured German trenches on a front of 1000 yards.

PAniS. $ejit. IS Allied French, Serbian
and Drltlsh troops have won a sweeping
victory over the Bulgarians on the Macedon
ian front, the ar Office announced today.
Trie Serbians routed the Bulgars on a front
ot "feme miles and 'are now In hot pursuit)
ofTths defeated enemy. In their advance
thV Serbians have occupied several Im
portant positions. Tho entire right wing
"of the Bulgarian army west of Lake Ostrovo
appears to have been crumpled up by the
smashing attack of the reorganlied Serbian
army.
The Serbians captured twenty-five can
non and a large number of prisoners. The
Bulgarians are still In retreat and fighting
Is continuing. The exact "-number of pris
oners and the amount of booty tokfcn has
not been reported to the allied base" at
Salonica.
The Serbs won their greatest victory
northwest of Lake Ostrovo, where Serbian
successes were reported yesterday. After
smashing Bulgarian trenches In the hilly
region, the Serbs evidently poured through
the breach In the Bulgarian line In force
and threw the defenders In disorderly re
treat toward the Greek frontier.
On the Vardar fro'nt the British found
themselves opposed by combined Bulgarian
and German forces, but these were unable
to check the attacks of the Britons, who
swept forward as the beaten enemy retired.
Tho British captured Matchoukovo In their
first assault.

Warship Arizona Passes Testa
WASHINGTON'. Sept 15. Acting Sec
retary of the Navy F. D. Roosevelt today
announced that the new United States bat
tleship Arizona had stood tests satisfactorily
and would be put Into commission at the
New York Navy Yard October 15. The
Arizona Is the "latesc word" In battleship
construction, being one of the largest war
ships of today. She Is In the Pennsyl.
vanta's class.
No mention of the part the Philadelphia
Navy Yard will play In the Inland water
was and coast defense scheme was made
today by Josephus Daniels, Secretary of
the Navy, In his address before the dele
gates on the closing da ot tho Inland
Waterways Convention, at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard.
In the shadow ot the big battleships at
Iengue Island, the delegates heard the
Secretary of the Navy pledge the "earnest,
enthusiastic co-operation of the Navy De
partment" In the Improvement of Inland
waterways for economlo and military pur
poses, and saw the picture he drtvr of ex
panding American commerce.
But the expected wo-d of what Philadel
phia may look for In the deelopment of Its
navy yard nnd the Delaware River, In
tegral parts In tho coast flefense system,
slid not come.
That modern events, stimulating the
building ot vessels ot all kinds, demand
protected water paths along the coast waa
the text from which Mr. Daniels spoke.
The delegates previously had heard Ad
miral William S. Benson, chief of staff and
former commandant of the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, recount the reasons for Inland
water routes In time of war and for con
struction and Government ownership of
canals to establish safe Inland passage
ways between Important naval centers.
AID TO COMMERCE
The events of the present year hare
glen fresh arguments to the plan to com
plete the Inland waterway from Massachu
setts to Florida," said Secretary Daniels,
who treated the subject principally from a
commercial standpoint. 'The time hai
come when wo should depend mainly upon
American bottoms to carry American
products. In the future we are going to
build ships as never before, f Tresent-day
statesmanship has the vision of a return'
to the old days when the American flag
was seen in every porC" .
lie spoke "with 'approval of the Alaskan
Railway, tho projected Improvements of
the Mississippi River and tho Sacramento
River and for Improvement of Inland water-'
ways so that a submarine may travel
through an Inner passage from Boston to
Key West.
The Secretary emphasized the Importance
of Inland waterways by calling attention
to the Increased value of submarines ard
small auxiliary vessels as scouts and sub
marine catchers In naal warfare.. Theso
vessels, he said, now navigate shallow
water and by using the Inland passage
along the coast can dart out against an
enemy without warnlhg.
OBJECTS IN VIEW
'The revival of ship building for com
merce will exert a mighty Influence upon
wise Improvements of rhers and harbors,
the deepening of rivers and the completion
of the Inland waterway canal," he said,
"America has formed the habit of big
things. Three great projects that will prove
our ability to conceive nnd carry out great
national Improvements for' the near future
ahe the Improvement of the Mississippi River
and Its tributaries, tho Improvement of the
Sacramento River and the completion ot the
Inland waterways. This Inland waterway Is
primarily to get cheap water transportation,
a crying need, but It has military value as
well."
