The opening Of hostiiities against Ser.

cudon since the rupture between Bull

cision to espouse the cause of Germany,
Austria and Turkey. Military experts
have assumed that when Bulgaria struck

Bulgaria's long awaited thrust at Ser.

confirmed this morning by official an

London. The Bulgarian movement Is de-
signed to take the Serbians on the flank
while the powerful Teuton armies of in

at the railroad from Belgrade to Con-

That Greece still has.not taken a def

the Russians are vigorously pursuing
their advance. This attack is being
made north of the Rumanian border

PANCAKES LEAD TO
WIFE'S $4,000 SUIT
She Accuses Husbands Parents

fection.

Esther E. Bevensee has brought suit
for $4,000 damages against Mr.. and
Mrs. August Bevensee, parents of her
husband, Edwin A. BeVcnsec, charging
them with alternating his affection.
She was a trained nurse when she
was introduced to Bevcnsee. Three
months later they married and started
housekeeping. Mrs. August Bevensee
is German. and made pancakes after
German fashion, big as the pan itself
Mrs. Edwin Bevensee is not German,
and makes small pancakes.
Edwin Bevensee complained, but his
wife said she hadn't any cake turner
She tried to please him, however, and
used knife to turn the cakes, with
the result they doubled up. Then she
giggled and said darn it," Bevensee
asserted that he wouldn't eat cakes
that had been 'darned.'" He left the
table and returned to his parents. The
separation didn't last long. The young
wife went to live with her husband s
parents to take three weeks course
in German cooking.
Once more the young couple decided
to go it alone, and took an apartment:
| Things didn't go well. The husband
got in the habit of taking his meals

appeared yesterday in more than 200
newspapers printed in English in the

AS a preliminary to the formulation Of

report of these tests states:
"A standard near perfection is usual

are expected to average 81 to 80 per
cent accurate: checking three times
should produce practical perfection. On
the other hand, the stenographers tested
were unable to spell correctly more than
80 per cent of the words. though in

word is misspelled. The detailed comma
