the Other Various
War Fronts !
London, Oct. 25.-While the Austro.
Garman and Bulgarian campaigns in
northern and eastern Serbia are being
carried out according to the plan;
despite fierce Serbian resistance, the
Bulgars, who crossed the Timok and
hold the town Of Prahovo, are separ.
ated from the Germans who crossed
the Danube near Orsoyo BY only a few
miles, in the south and things are not
going so we'll for the invaders.
French Troops Arrive.
In the latter region the French
troops have joined hands with the
Serbs and according to French ac-
counts have inflicted severe defeat
on the Bulgarians at Krivolak 40
miles north of the point where the
Saloniki-Nish railway crosses the
SerboGreek frontier. ..
This success places the Bulgarians
who reached Istip Veles, and Qsup, in
a rather awkward position, for a fur.
ther advance Of the Allied army would
seriously threaten their tanks. In
fact, unofficial reports state that tho
advance of the French, who are be
ing closely followed by the; British
has already caused the retirement Of
the Bulgars toward Strumitsa.
Expect to Get Through. yjys
The dearest desire Of the Germans.
however, is to open route through
northeastern Serbia and Bulgaria to
Turkey and this is on the eve Of be-
ling accomplished. q 'z.'' y

The Italians by their offensive, are,
compelling the Austrians to strength.
en- their line, and the French by the
capture of a strongly fortified salient
north of LeMosnil, in Champagne,
have shown that they have not yet,
finished their efforts to break through.
The French success is considered I'M
portant because the capture Of this
fortified area cleared the ground for
another general offensive in Cham
payne. -
The Russians are fighting pitched
battles in the Riga and Dvinsk re-
gions in an effort to take the ground

Oppose conseription.
A manifesto opposing conscription
has been issued by a comparatively
small number of members Of parlia.
ment. Among the reasons given for
such opposition is that the compui,
sorry system will so deplete the ranks
of the industrial workers that Great
Britain would be unable to meet her
obligations assumed in behalf Of the
Allies to supply them with stores OF
munitions and give them substantial
financial help.g;
1t is further declared that compu!-
sion would arouse bitter opposition
among the workmen and irretrovably
destroy national uRity. which is es.
sential to the successful prosecution
of the war.
