London, Oct. 10. - Strumnitxa
In Bulgaria has been occupied by
tho allied armies Of Great Britain,
France and Serbia, according to off,
clal advices from Saaoniki photographed
by the Reuter- correspondent at
Athens.
London, Oct. 19.-The allied forces
from Saloniki have begun opera,
tons against the Bulgarians
with unexpected zeal and already the
serb-Anglo-French forces have pene.
trated into Bulgarian territory Just
north of the Greek boundary and the
Bulgarian stronghold of Strumnitza,
according to advices received from
saloniki by Reuters Telegraph com.
pany by way Of Athens.
Although there is heavy fighting on
the eastern fronts, the Austro-G German
and Bulgarian invasions of Serbia and
the efforts of the British and French
generals to bring help to their little
ally before it is too late, continue to
occupy the chief attention of the PEG.
pie of the belligerent countries.
Weather Helps serbiants.
The Serbians are being helped by
the weather which is cold and winter
like. The rains have set in and are
Impeding the movement of troops and
guns, which at the best, must be slow,
over what answer for roads in the
Balkan states.
The Germans, however, claim to
have taken the heights south of Bel
grade, while along the Danube the
army of General Won Gallwitz is push
Ing the Serbians back.
The Bulgarians also lay claim to q
rapid advance into Macedonia, al
though the French are already report
ed to be in contact with them at Giev-
geli, while both the French and Brit
sh continue to land troops at Saloniki.
Neither Russians nor Italian assist
ance has yet developed, but the Ital-
lans have begun a more vigorous Of
fensive along their frontier and have
captured Pregasina, an important ad-
vanced point of the fortified Riva
group on Lake Garda. This will be Of
Indirect aid to Serbia, preventing as
It does, the movement of any more
Austrian troops from that frontier.
Germans March on Riga.
The Germans have taken the often
Bive south of Riga and forced the Rus
slams out Of their positions, capturing
large number of prisoners and
some guns. On the rest of the east
ern front the offensive remains in the
hands Of the Russians who are at
lacking west of Dvinsk, in the center
and to the south of the Pripet river.
On the whole, it appears to observ-
ers here as if the Germans were sat-
lsfied merely to hold their present
line except in the north, where they
have made repeated attempts to take
Dvinsk. This would mean the fall
Of Riga and would compel the Rus
SLAMS TO withdraw behind the Dvina
river. This ambition has already cost
the Germans many thousands of men
but they keep on trying, first in the
north, then in the south and then on
the Dvinsk front. At present their
attacks are developing the greatest
force in the north.

LABOR CONDITIONS
GREATLY IMPROVED
COMMISSIONER CLARY SAYS
SITUATION IS NOW PRAC-
TICALLY NORMAL

Little Rock, Nov 27.-State Labor
Commissioner Clary is very optimistic
over the future. He says that in 1914
the labor conditions of the country
were 20 per cent below the normal.
But now, in 1915, conditions have
practically resumed the normal, and
the prospects for an industrial and
commercial boom are very gratifying.
The resumption in industrial plants
is most notable. Practically all
woodworking plants are running full
time, often two shifts to meet the
demands of the trade. Some have
asked that they be allowed to run
overtime, but this has not been per-
mitted, as the hours Of labor are pre-
scribed by law. There is some COM
plant about the shortage of cars in
handling the product of the mills.
If Governor Hays will issue a proc
lamation authorizing the expenditure
Of 81 900 for the expenses of the bu-
reau of labor, Commissioner Clarv
saws that he will establish free en-
ployment agency. The legislature had
intended to appropriate $1,000 for
the department, but the amendment
was lost in the shuttle during the clos
ing hours of the session. Mr.. Clary
is convinced that no better use of the
bureau could be made than to pro-
vide a system whereby the employer
and the employed may be brought to-
gether.
