DAMAGE DONE BY
FRENCH ARTILLERY
Germans Use ASphyxiating Gas
But Find French Are
Well Prepared.

PARIS, Sept. 24.-During the last
"a hours the French artillery has in
hiCted severe damage on the German
works at numerous points. The work
OF destruction continued through the
night, according 20 the Official COM
munique issued this afternoon.
The German troops in Champagne
are again using shells containing as
phyxiating gas. but these are less eff
fective now because Of the precau-
tons taken by the French soldiers.
The text of the communique fol-
lows:
"An artillery battle continued
throughout the night in the region OF
Arras. our batteries seriously dam
aged the enemy's- organizations al
numerous points A strong German
patrol which attempted TO capture
one of our field telephone posts in the
sector Of BretencOurt was dispersed
by our fire.
There was an intense lombard
ment carried on by both sides in the
region of ROye and in that Of Quen-
nevieres.
I'm Champagne the enemy directed
his fire with asphyXiating shells upon
our positions 20 the north of St. Hill
aire, Souain, Perthes AID Beausejour.
Our artillery responded with an en-
ergetic and efficacious bombardment
of the German trenches, small forts
and encampments
I'm the ArgOnne we shelled the enc
my's lines at a great many points and
dispersed the workers who were at
tempting to repair the breaches caus-
ed by our firing. There was a con-
flict with bombs and grenades.
I'm Lorraine two hostile attacks
were attempted, one on a telephone
station TO the west Of Manhoue (east
of Nancy, the other on our trenches
to the north of Bures (eight miles
north of Luneville.) Both were sup
ported by a violent cannOnade in
which filled the eyes of our soldiers
with water. This was completely re
pulsed by the fire of our artillery and
infantry.
There were a few engagements
with rifles and petards on the heights
of Linge Gin the Vosges.)"

BULGARIA NOT FREE
TO ATTACK TURKEY
Would Risk His Crown if He Failed to
Attempt To Regain
Macedonia.
BY Georges CIemenceau.

PARIS, Sept. 24-Nobody believes
after the signature of the Turco- Bull
garian agreement that King Ferdinand
Will be free to attack Turkey. Every
body, too, knows that Ferdinand would
risk his crown if he failed to attempt
to regain Macedonia.
The king knows that Premier Rad
Oslavoff has not a majority of parlia-
ment and when the opposition leaders
the other day limited that the king
should summon the chamber. he was
aware that a refusal would entail the
risk CT internal disturbances. The
whole situation is this:
The quadruple entente has induced
Servia to yield fully Bulgaria's Mace
DOMAIN claims The Austro- Germans
offer Bulgaria the same advantages
continually on Germany crushing Ser
via. But the allies have also offered
Adrianople to Bulgaria. 1t costs them
nothing to be more generous in dis
tributing Turkish territory than Ger
many.
Ferdinand must now choose between
the two offers. He Will undoubtedly
throw in his lot with the side which
he thinks will ultimately be victorious.
This question would not have arisen
for single moment if the Russian
army had not been in fun retreat be-
cause the Bulgarians would never fight
the Russians. But even with the Ger
mans at Wilma. Ferdinand must know
that the invaders advance becomes
difficult and that France and England
viii see that Russia gets sufIicitnt time
for her offensive resources.
The Russian retreat certainly
lengthens the war. but it cannot
change the issue which will be de-
cided by us in France when our in
creasing resources overtop Germany's
decreasing resources
