BULGARIA DOES
 NOT WANT WAR
King Ferdinand Declares that MObil- izatiOn of Troops Not Off,
 fensively Intended,

LONDON. Sept. 27.-King Ferdi- nand of Bulgaria, has protested against the assumption of the Allies that he is preparing to enter the war on the side of the Teutons, because the Bulgarian army is being mobil- ized. He asserts that the treaty re- gently made between Bulgaria and Turkey requires that Bulgaria main- tain armed neutrality in return for railroad and territorial concessions.
 Bulgaria maintains that the mobil- ization is not extensively intended and protests against the mobilization of the armies of Rumania and Greece on her borders. The report that Ger man guns are being mounted on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast is denied, as Bulgaria will continue to main tain neutrality.

 bargo on Munitions.

LAREDO, Texas, Sept. 27.-A big shipment of rifles and one million rounds of cartridges which was en route to Mexico and destined for the the use of Gen.

GERMAN LINES
 ARE' PENETRATED
Belgians Capture German Positions at Yser and French Penetrate
 Line in Champagne.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-There is great joy being manifested throughout En- gland over the success of the Allies in forcing the Germans from their positions along the western battle frontx xand breaking the deadlock that has existed for twelves months and cost the lives of hundreds of thou sands of men.
 1t is reported from France that since the Allies drive began two days ago that the British and French troops have gained more ground and shown better results than during the past twelve months. The Belgians have captured the German field forti- 16cations on the right bank of the Yser river and have compelled the evacuation of miles of German trenches.
 Military experts say that with the Germans meeting reverses in both the east and west that they must soon break. The Russians have checked Hindenburg and the Germans with two million men on the western bat tlefront have been unable to hold the Allies in the drive.
 French troops have penetrated the German lines in the Champagne dis trict and the entire battle line has been swung northward to conform to the new positions forced upon the Germans.

OF INDIAN
 NAMES IN ALASKA.

Juneau-Now that there is talk of holding an election to decide the name of the town at Anchorage, an explanation of some of the names in that section may be of interest.
 The following definitions and ex- plantations were given by man who has spent many years of his life in that section, and who speaks the ns- tive language fiuently:
 Matnauska is a pickup word, hav- ing no meaning in the Indian lan- guage, and no one seems to know from whence it originated. The na- tive name for the Matanuska is Cha tonkna, meaning swift running river. The syllable ma" in the native Ian guage means river and the rest of the word designates the special one as Chitina, which is the name for Cop per. river, Chiti meaning where cop per is found, and na meaning river
 The native name for the Knik is the Skidina, or the Tent river, deriv- ing it's name from the fact that the natives maintained temporary camp at the mouth of the river.
 Tanana means the River of Travel. In other words, it was summer road or trail for the natives with their ca noes, and in winter was their trail over the ice.

Hindenburg Is Halted.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 27.-The war office has announced that the inva- sion of Gen. Hindenburg has been halted and that he is now on the de- fensive.

The Russians occupy a distinctly better position along the entire line, even in the Dvinsk region, where Henden- burg is centering his sterngth. It is burg is centering his strength. It is many changes have been made among the commanders of the German army along the Russian line by the kaiser, and it is believed that the emperor is soon to adopt new tactics.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Attention is centered on the western battle line reaching through northern France and Belgium, where desperate fight ing has taken place during the past two days. That the long-promised campaign of the Allies to force the Germans from their positions and break the deadlock has started is the opinion of military experts, although no announcement to that effect has been made by the war office. Advices from the front state that the Allied forces have captured 10000 Germans during the two days fighting and have made substantial gains all along the western line.
 North of Arras the German posi- tions were captured after desperate hand to hand fighting which resulted in heavy losses to both sides. The Germans had been subjected to heavy bombardment before the final charge of the troops, which resulted in the Germans being taken prisoners.
 In the Champagne district the French troops have advanced two miles along a fourteen-mile front, and have driven the Germans from number of advantageous points. The Allies are reported as keeping up an incessant bombardment of the Ger man positions and are forcing them back to new lines of trenches.
 The French and British troops in the Argonne forests are also reported to have forced the Crown Princes army back from it's first line of trenches and have captured a num-

GOVERNMENT
 HAS CHANGED FRONT.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The reverses suffered by the German armies on both the eastern and western fronts has caused the Bulgarian govern ment to hesitate in declaring war in favor of the Teutons, and diplomats express the belief that the Balkan states will remain neutral. That Ru- mania will refuse to permit of Ger man munitions passing through that country to Turkey is indicated by the cool reception given the Kaiser's representative who visited Rumania to secure her consent to the trans- porting of munitions across numania.
