AT the Presbyterian church last
night Miss Abbie upham, field secre

than usual interest. Miss Upham is a
real missionary, having served among
the Kiowas in western Oklahoma and
among the Mormons in the mountains
Beside this she is widely travelled in
Cuba, Porto Rico and Alaska as well
as the peculiar home mission fields
on continental America.

found a man who had had one full

who came the wonderful story. To
this man she promised to send a mis-
sionary, but as yet has been able to
find neither the man or his support.

BY United Press.
LONDON, Oct. 1S--Advices re
ceiyed here today say the Austro-Ger
man forces are still pushing south
ward through Serbia.
1t is reported, however, that the
progress OF the allies northward In
Bulgaria is swifter than that Of the
Teutons in Serbia. The Serbs are still
desperately resisting the invaders, but
the allies have not yet encountered
strong opposition.
The capture OF Stumnitza gave the
allies control of the Salonika, Nish
railway fifty miles northward from
SaloniEa. Their object is believed to
be to reach Nish and simultaneously
strike at Sofia.
The Bulgarians are reported TO
have crossed the Serbian frontier fifty
miles north of Strumnitza although
fifty thousand of their number were
previously repulsed by the Serbs.
