Allies Place Expedition in Rear
Of Won Bulow's Invading Army

London, Oct. 23.-Widely separated
though synchronous diversions by the
entente forces on land and sea, de-
signed evidently as preliminary
move to relieve the strain on Serbia.
pending the time allied troops of suf-
flcient weight to reach the Balkan
front, have marked the developments
of the last 36 hours.
Italy, having confined herself for
weeks to local action, isolated attacks
and counter attacks, has launched a
general offensive along the Tyrol and
Trentino frontiers Of Austria; allied
warships including Russian vessels
have battered Bulgarian ports in the
Aegean and Russia has increased her
pressure to the eastern front, and by
a coup of combined land and sea op-
erations has flung men and guns ON
the coast of Courland, 80 miles north
east of Riga, thus, menacing the rear
of General Won Buelow's army which
for so long time has been trying to
take the Baltic port.
The news of this surprise landing is
disclosed in a Berlin communication
which describes the forces landed as
of small strength. The fact that 4
Russian vessel participated in the bonn
bardment of the Bulgarian coast is at
tested by British official statement
and is welcomed in England as an in
cident which will dispell the. idea sup
posed to be held by many Bulgars that
they are fighting Serbia only and not
their former ally, Russia. The Rus
sian southern fleet of course is locked
in behind the Dardanelles and the
only Russian warship in Aegean wa
tiers so far as is known, is the cruiser
AskOld
The admiralty statement relative to
the bombardment speaks collectively
of British, French and Russian ships"
So it is impossible to state the make
up of the squadron. If Italian craft
took part it has not been made known
in England. What progress the Brit
ish and French troops are making in
their advance northward to the relief
of Serbia is still withheld.
The kings appeal for recruits in
England has had marked effect on
today's enlistment according to the
London papers, and it's ultimate effect,
with fair trial of the Earl of Derby
plan, may decide the mooted question
Of CONSUMPTION. That the Serbian
position is grave is the opinion of the
British press. With this admission
there is developing an increasing ram
cor over Greece's attitude coupled with
demands that the allies do not allow
her policy to drift while there is
possibility of her turning against the
entente powers.

boarded east bound trains Friday.
This leaves the farmers badly crippled

Local Temperance People
to Have Publicity Column

Believing in the practical value OF
publicity as an aid to general eff
cheney, the local w. C. T. u, in it's
recent business meeting, decided to
solicit the Times-Record for the priv
ilege of using one of its columns once
each week for the dissemination of
temperance information and related
subject. This courtesy was cordially
extended by the management, and the
local union takes this opportunity to
express it's appreciation of the kindly
attitude thereby shown. Perhaps un-
consciously but, nevertheless, to a
very great extent, our ideas and opin-
ions are moulded by the reading we do
and the public press is no less pow
er for good or evil than is the popular
book which appears to attract our at
tention. The use of the public press
is source of power which is now be-
ing quite generally accorded all pro-
gressive activities and it is hoped that
the space so kindly furnished by the
Times Record will be used in such a
manner as to provide interesting infor'
nation for the majority of its many
readers.
It is the plan of the undersigned,
representing the local union, to use
this column for a compilation of cur.
rent temperance news, current suffrage
news, gleanings from temperance

ions constituting original material and

In addition to these, there will be,

with the work to be done. Among
these will be found suggestions for

in various forms for medical purposes;
also a synopsis of the North Dakota
Sunday laws. These laws will be sub
mitted one at time, and attention to
