Russian Threat May

Menace of Slav Attack on Black Sea Coast Expected

LONDON. Oct. T.-In n cable to the
New York Herald. It is announced that
Bulgaria has formally declared war on
Serbia and definitely and apparently
irrevocably aligned herself with the
Austro- o ttoman- German combination.
The cable continues: And with her
decision she Is facing a war on two
fronts similar to that in which Ger

of q contemplated Russian attack on
her eastern coast are reaching London.
For sheer drama. however. nothing in
recent months can compare with the
situation of the Serbs. Not only two.
but four sides of their little Kingdom
are feeling the weight Of marching feet.
Inc Austro-Germans are continuing
their advance on the north and west.
Bulgarians are pounding away on the
east, while Anglo French troops are
moying through the south.
Ihe serbs. although greatly outnum-
bered by armies with superior equip
ment. are making a stubborn defense in

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or

shade OF hair which Is so attractive. use
only this old-tme recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for 80

Despite the great period taken for
