London, Nov 9.-The fall of Nish
has united solidly the main Bulgarian
forces and the Austro-German armies
advancing from the north. Hitherto
their communications consisted mere
ly of tentative reaching out OF advance

The Bulgarians and their allies now
hold considerably more than half OF
Serbia and command the Nish rail.
way, which has been one of the chief
detectives of their campaign.
From Nish the Bulgarian line now
runs north in a slight curve. encircline
the Morava river. to Krivivir, where
ii joins the main Austro-German
forces. From that point the invaders
line turns at a right angle and runs
due west across the broadest part of
Serbia
The rough semi-circle made by this
line still is contracting, and as ii does
so, according to German reports, is
taking a heavy toll of Serbian prison
ers.
BuIgars Checked in South.
In Southern Serbia the fortunes OF
war are less auspicious for the inyad-
ers. There the Bulgarians apparently
have received a severe check from the
Serbians, assisted by French and
British troops
No official confirmation has been re-
ceived. however, of decisive defeat
of the Bulgarans, who are attempting
to advance into Macedonia through
Babuna pass South of Strumitsa the
French are fighting on Bulgarian soil.
The crisis occasioned by the resig-
nation of the Greek cabinet has been
met temporarily and if the chamber
of deputies accepts the new Skoulou-
dis ministry there may be no change
in the announced policy of Greece,
now reiterated, OF benevolent neutral

On the other front severe but indie

March emphasizes the lack ~ instruc-
ton for cavalry and artillery.
AT some institutions he writes,

Heretofore little or no instruction
has been given in artillery work by
such colleges, because the expense
connected with keeping up the mate
rial, batteries, horses, motors, ammuni-
ton, &C., has been too great for the
college to undertake. 1t may be, how

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1915-03-11
CONGRESSMAN GREEN HOME

Congressman Green accompanied
by his wife and daughter Margaret,
arrived from Washington. d. c., last
Sunday where they have been since
early fall. When Mr.. Green left he
was compelled to go on crutches ow-
ing to an injury he received short
time before congress convened. He
is still using the crutches and 1t is
with difficulty that he makes his us
ual daily rounds.
The past session in congress has
been busy one for Mr.. Green. He
secured membership on a number of
very important committees, and be-
ing hard and conscientious worker
his crippled condition made detail
work in the thirty-third congress ex-
tremely difficult. He was unable to
do as much work on the floor as he
hoped, yet, he accomplished a great
deal for the Ninth Iowa District. The
Taxpayers, regardless of political af-
filiation have come to realize that we
have the right man representing
them in Washington.
Some matters coming up in Coun-
Gil Bluffs necessitated his going there
the fore part of the week Mrs Green
and Margaret will remain here until
the close of school, and have found
rooms at the Culver home. 1t be-
ing impossible to secure residence
in Audubon, Mr.. Green and his fam
lily will be compelled to make their
home in Council Bluffs this summer,
and OF course, next winter will again
go to Washington
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1915-03-11
A MAGNIFICENT SHOWING

In another column of this issue of
the Republican will be found the
statement of the First National Bank
made in accordance with a call from
the comptroller of the currency,
showing the condition of the bank
at the close of bushes on March 4.
This banking institution, is required
by law, to make statement at FIVE
different times during the year. The
statement published during January
revealed some interesting facts, but
the one today, shows much larger
totals. The footings show a total of
$909,449.27, which is the high water
mark for the bank. Yet a few days
before, the footings showed the tre-
mendous amount of little over a
million dollars The First National
Bank is now enjoying a patronage
larger than ever before, all of which
is due to the scrupulously careful
management of the present officials.
The city of Audubon is fortunate in
numbering among its enterprises
such a substantial banking institu-
ton.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1915-03-11

This is =, Secially true of a commun-
lily. such as Audubon, where large
per cent of the population is. foreign.
Esery man in this town should ap-
point himself a committee of one to
sec that the census is correctly taken.
Five years ago the census revealed
that Audubon had population of
little less than 1000. We have
grown considerably since then, and
the census this year should show a
handsome increase which would place
Audubon in town of the second
class under the new classification
that would follow the completion of
the census of the state of Iowa.
The president of the club, e. F.
Bilharz, will meet the chairmen
named of the new standing commit
tees shortly at which time they will
select assistants to act as members of
the various committees.
The matter of electroleres for
Broadway was also taken up and a
committee Twill be appointed to see
what can be accomplished in the way
of better illumination for our main
thorough-fare.
