Several weeks ago the night school

pupils seek information is encouraging.

RUSSIANS LAND IN BULGARIA
Bucharest Dispatch Says That Care
Troops Are Now in Varna-Con-
tinue Fight For Riga.

London.-The latest and most signif.
icant news from all battle fronts is
that contained in a dispatch to the
Times from Bucharest, which says:
1T is reported in naval quarters
here that Russian troops were landed
at Varna, in Bulgaria, in the Black
Sea, Friday
In the far east the Germans, hav-
ing failed in two months of almost in
cessant attacks to reach Riga and
Dvinsk by various routes, are trying
along the railways skirting the Gulf
Of Riga from Tukum, and claim to
have reached a point west of Schlok.
This Is a very slight advance, and
much low ground over which it is diff
ficult to move, lies between them and
their objective.
In the Dvinsk sector, both TO the
west and southwest of that city, the
Russians have begun an offensive,
apparently in anticipation of renewed
German attacks, and they also are on
the move in the lake district Of the
Dvinsk-Vilna railway ard In Volhynia
and Galicia. If these battles are con-
cluded their result has not been dis
closed. Those at the southern end
of the line are doubtless designed to
prevent the Germans and Austrians
from sending re-inforcements to Ser
via.
In France the battle for the Butte
de Tahure, which the Germans recap
tured from the French, continue with
out changing the positiins of the two
armies. There has been some fighting
at other points in the west.
What the attacks on this front have
cost is shown by a report issued by
Field Marshal Sir John French He
says that the published lists Of the
German casualties disclose that seven
German battalions which took part in
the Loos fighting-presumably a Ger
man counter-attack-lost so per cent
Of their strength.
