Failed to Cut Railway.
GRADEK, Serbia, octobia %. via sa-
loniki and Paris October 25.-The dou-
BILE attempt of the Bulgarians to cut
the railway at Veles and in the Volan-
dovo sector has been completely de-
feated.
Yesterday (Friday) the attack on
Veles was given up and the entire
available Bulgarian strength was di-
rected southwark from lstip along the
Gradeskar river, spreading out over a
five-mile front and comprising the viii
lagos of Rabrovo. Volandovo. Pinaud,

east bank of the Vardar river between
two bridges. Is most pregnable at the
Strumitsa station.
French Left in Possession.
The attack, although furious, imme-
diately developed the inferiority of the
Bulgarians in contact with the expe-
rienced troops of France and England
Heavy losses are reported along the
entire line. The Bulgarians are with
drawing up the Gradeskar valley, leav-
ing the French in victorious possession
of the railway from Saloniki to Nego-
tin. beyond which point the line is not
threatened.
The French losses were slight. Gen.

chief, in a statement to the Associated
Press characterized the Bulgarian re-
ports of their advances as fantastic.

An offensive movement by the allies
seems imminent. The Greeks seem to
be profoundly Impressed by the rapid

ment.
Bombardment Of Dedeagahatch.
The bombardment of Dedeagahatch
caused the death of ten civilians and
over a thousand soldiers. and there
also were a large number of soldiers
wounded, says dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph Company from
Athens.
A large proportion of the military
casualties, the correspondent adds,
were in the barracks which housed
the 4Oth Bulgarian Regiment. The bar
racks were crowded with soldiers. who
were preparing IOT their meal When
the bombardment was opened at L
o'clock with accurately aimed shells,
which demolished the barracks, bury
ing the occupants in the ruins.
No News of British.
If the British forces have left Sa-
loniki, no news of their movements has
been disclosed. Reports from various
sources say the entente powers have
revised their original plans and now
purpose to land tremendous contin-
gent at Saloniki. This would serve
the double purpose of meeting the de-
mands of Greece and of giving ef-
fective assistance to Serbia
Athens reports that the Greek crown
prince has gone to saloniki. where he
will view the importing stream of
French and British lighting men 1t is
thought here that the strength of the
forces ultimately landed may decide
whether Greece will throw her lot with
the allies.

Berlin, via London, June U.s.
There are good prospects that the
forthcoming German note to the
United States will go long way to-
ward meeting the American govern
ment's wishes regarding Germany's
conduct of the submarine warfare
and making passenger traffic on the
high seas safe.
While it is stated that submarine
action against hostile merchantmen
will not and cannot be abandoned
entirely, it is increasingly probable
that the German note will embody
some proposals to exempt ships en-
ployed wholly or principally in pas
senger traffic from submarine at
tack.
Such ships, it is said, of course,
would be subject to stoppage and
examination by submarines in &C.
cordance with the practice in vogue
prior to the present war and to cap
ture if carrying contraband, but the
regular rules of the prize law. par.
ticularly regarding the safety of
passengers and crews, would be OBJ
served.

New Drive by Germans Against
Warsaw is Expected By
Many.
COAST ATTACK ON BELGIANS.
Intense Recruiting Campaign is
Inaugurated in Great
Britain.

London, June 25.-The Russians
still are retreating in the east, the
French are slowly gaining at certain
points in the west.
With the fires set by the retreat
ing Russians still burning, the Aus
tro. Germans are now firmly estab-
lished at Lemberg and have shown
no sign of ceasing their offensive.
The battle of the Dniester, south
of the city, is not over, but, accord
ing to Berlin, General Linsingen
has been able to throw his forces
across the river, a fact which is TAX
en- in some quarters to presage
another Russian defeat.
With Galicia all but cleared of
Russians, the weight of Austro-Ger-
man forces released in that theater
must soon be felt somewhere. but
opinions are divided as to whether it
will be on the western front, or in
Poland. One theory is that the Ger
mans will launch against Warsaw
another terrific attack. This coin
cides with the belief that it is the
Austro German plan to batter Russia
more before turning west.
Opposed to this are reports that
troops from Galicia already are jour-
neying westward and that Germany
plans to start a fresh campaign
along the Belgian coast.

1900 delegates from towns and Ct l.
es in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and
Tennessee between Danville, ILL.,. and
Nashville, Tenn, met in convention
here yesterday and formed an organ
ization known as the Dixie Bee. Lii e
association, its object being to build
an improved road from Danville to
Nashville, connecting at both places
with the Dixie highway.
The permanent organization did
not take place until late in the after
noon, when Mayor Benjamin Bose,
of this city, who presided over the
convention, was elected president,
and he was empowered to name the
vice president and secretary. treasur-
er. One vice. president was elected
from each of the eighteen counties in
Illinois. Indiana, Kentucky and Ten
nessee, through which the road will
pass. These county vice. presidents.
together with the other officers of
the association, will be the directors,
and will determine the official route
of the Dixie Bee. Line highway. The
directors are to hold all meetings in
Evansvil e, and a decision upon the
official route must be made before
November / next.
Near the close of the convention a
motion was made to make Spring
field, Tenn, the terminus of the
Dixie Bee.Line, instead of Nashville,
the claim being made that when Ev-
ansville wanted the big Dixie high
way, Nashville was against this city
and threw its influence in favor of
Louisville, KY. After long wran'
gle, Nashville won over Springfield
by a majority of one vote. There il
hot three. cornered fight among the
cities and towns in southern Indiana
Kentucky and northern TENNESSEE
over the location of the Dixie Bee
Line. Clarksville, Tenn, ard Guth
rie, Ky are rivals for the road, anC
both cities had monster delegation
here, GAINESVILLE alone sending near
ly 200 boosters. Muhlenberg coun
ty, Kentucky. is also asking for tn
road, and would have it strike tn
big Dixie highway at Russellville
KY, thus shutting out Hopkinsville
Ky. Many of the Kentucky cite
brought along their own bands anC
paraded the streets. The resolutions
adopted by the convention asked the
counties seeking the Dixie Bee Line
road to properly improve their local
roads before 1917. The resolutions
also declared in favor of county,
state and federal aid in the building
of the Danville-N Nashville highway.
The following vice. presidents by
counties were elected:
In Illinois-Lawrence county, A. e.
