ception ON the part OF West virginia,s
1000 E1ks. His candidacy will receive
undivided support in his home state.
His election TO the highest office in the
order would be not only greatly
appreciated honor to West Virginia

.BUL CARS ATTACK QUITE
FURIOUS But FUTILE

Y 4 = Z { = ~ h r. /
GRADEK. SefDia. via Saloniki.
Oct 23. via Paris. Oct. 25.-The
double attempt OF the Bulgarians to
cut the railway at Veles and in the
Volandoyo sector has been complete
Is defeated Yesterday. friday.
the attack on Veles was given up
and the entire available Bulgarian
strength was directed southwark
from Istip along the Gradeskar river
spreading out over tive-mile front
and comprising the villages OF Rad
bovo. Valondovo. Pirad. Vessel. Kali
kovo. kachova and Hodova, with its
objective a short stretch where the
railway running along the east bank
of the Vardar river between two
bridges is most pregnable and the
Strumitsa station.
The attack although furious inlme-
diately developed the inferiority Of
the Bulgarians in contact with the
experienced troops OF France and
England. Heavy losses are reported
Rlong the entire line. The Bull
garians are withdrawing up the Var
deskar valley, leaving the French in
victorious possession OF the railway
from Saloniki TO Negotin. beyond
which the line is not threatened
The French losses were slight.
General Sarrail. the French comman-
der in chief. in a statement to the
Associated Press characterized the
s Bulgarian report OF their advances
q; fantastic. Nowhere. he said, have
they advanced beyond u few unde-
Tended points OF no military value
close to the frontier.
An offensive movement by the Al
lies seems to be imminent.
The Greeks seem TO be profoundly
impressed by the rapidly OF the
french movement.
