LONDON. Aug. 13.--The Bulgar-

the United Press In an interview
obtained by . stan correspondent

time here today and caused . real
sensation In diplomatic circles.
The London newspapers gave the
interview with Premier Radoslavon

making It the subject for comment
In their leading editorials. The Tel

icle urged that Great Britain and
her allies use their utmost efforts

In diplomatic circles, as well ~

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

During the week there has been no
change in the standing of the armies Of
the west along the Belgium line. Both
sides magnify small successes and miniiy
small losses. They keep up the fighting
and allow each other but little rest.
In the east the fact that the tenth
army of the Russians operating north.
ward from Warsaw, has been forced
backward for considerable distance
and lost large number OF men as prison.
ers is established. The Russians claim
that the retreat has stopped and hat
they now occupy strong positions and
that the German advance has stopped.
The Russians admit the loss Of one army
corps, while the Germans claim to have
taken lOO,OOOprisoners. Both sides agree
that the bad roads have prevented the
Germans from following up their advan-
tage, but that new battle lines are being
formed. In the Carpathians the fight
Tor the mountain passes still goes on as
it has for several weeks without any ap-
parent advantage to either side.
The naval blockade of England and
Ireland by Germany which went into
effect on February 18th has as yet pro-
duced no special effects except among
the diplomats. Mines however, have
been the cause of the sinking of three
Norwegian ships, while torpedoes from
submarines have sunk several English
merchantmen. England on Wednesday
made the waters between England and
Ireland q "war zone' and will plant
those waters full of mines. Certain
channels will be left open so that Eng.
lish pilots can take vessels through in
safety. This is undoubtedly done to
prevent the German submarines from
navigating those waters with safety.
Two American ships have struck mines,
or at least are supposed to have struck
mines and sunk. The fact that they ran
against mines will relieve this country
from difficulty as generally speaking q
vessel that runs voluntarily into mine
sown locality takes it's own risk. The
last American vessel sunk was off Dover,
however, and that is pretty far south for
German mines to be encountered.

not recorded since 1855, and will not
happen again, until 2, 500 600 years from
February. The moon in January was
fuil the 1st and 30th. In March it will
be tull the LIST and 30tb. again. and that
