from the north and the Bulgarians
from the east, until the assistance
their allies are sending can reach
them.
The Bulgarians have extended
theft grip on the Belgrade-Saloniki
railway north and south OF Nosh
and have occupied Leskovac, south
of~thee captured capital, and sAleksi-
mac. to the north. At the latter
point they are in close touch with
heA German army, which, after oc-
cupying Krusevac. ezaended tts left
wing as far as Djunis, on the left
bank Of the Bulgar Morava.
The aAIDtro 016mansa advancing
southwark are making progress ex-
cent in the west, where the Monte
negrins are holding them. The in
vading forces are reaching the most
difficult part OF Serbia. the noun
4ainous region, where the natives,
knowing every hill and gully. can
offer the strongest resistance. The
Austrians and Germans, however, are
plentifully sappaiedH withs mountain
guns, with which they expect to
driyp-the defenders from their fast

strength Of the French and British
forces issbeginning to tell. They are

ed to keep the railroad clear o. far
as Veles and are barring the Bull
cars route to Monastir.
While it will 0e some time before
the ,oSFmans aca8 Wsu1hcientlyv repair
the northern end Of the railway for
the transport Of troops and NUM-
lions, their successes have enabled
them to send supplies to the Bull
garians and Turks by the Danube a.
far a. Nikopolis. from which point
they can be sent by rail to Sofia and
Constantinople.
There liz NO change in Greece's At
titude, although 1t is considered sug-
nificant that at the moment that Bull
garia has again protested against the
hospitality accorded the Allied troops
at Saloniki the Greek government
has applied to the Allies for assist
ance-an application which Is re-
ceiving favorable consideration.
The Greek government also has re-
newed to the Allies an expression OF
its firm determination to maintain
neutrality and of its sincere good
will toward the Entente powers.
The campaigns ON the other fronts
continue without any important
changes. The Russians are still at
tacking in the north and south and
are beginning to harass the German
forces in the center, which. It IL be-
lieved, has been weakened for the
purpose Of strengthening the two
wings. No big movement 40 'expoet-
ed. however, until the condition of
the ground improves.
In both the west and on the Italian
front there mas been much 0ghting.

Italian government. On one OF her
voyages from New York to Naples
late in August last. year the Ancona
was stopped by the British at Glib
raltar and -. Gsrmane and one Aus
trian were taken on the ship.
Late last summer the Ancona left
here for Italy with 1900 Obushels
Of wheat, 1000 tons Of hay and 200
horses for the italian government.
On the same voyage she carried 800
Italians In the storage. who went
back becausesit was said ct the time
they could not get work In the New
York subway.
The Ancona sailed from New York
for Naples on October '7.~, She had
ON board I,z45 Italian reservists and
q general cargo. She arrived at
Naples on october - and was due
to sail from Naples for New York
today.
The Ancona was built at Belfast
In 1908. She had 4 gross tonnoge
of 1910. was 4S2 feet in length and
So feet beam.
VIM. HATFIELD. general manager for
the Italian line, tonight characteriz-
ed the sinking Of the Ancona ~ an
Unnecessary crime and absolute
murder. He Immediately cabled the
Naples office Of his firm, asking for
information regarding the disaster.
Although he had no Its Of her
passengers, Nr. Hatfield said the An
coma ON her last few voyages to this
country had carried 800 or 400
passengers, among them q number OF
American citizens in tho Arst cabin
and in the steerage. Most Of her
passenger list, Mr. Hatfield said. had
been made up Of women ana child-
rem. He believed she carried Q large
number Of women and children on
her present voyage.
The Ancona, he added, carried Z
crew Of 100 men. At no time, said
Mr.. fairfield, did the Ancona carry
guns or munitions Of war, because II
was against the rules Of the COM
pany to carry munitions on the same
vessels with passengers.
The Ancona has been In the Italian
line service for six years, and with
out her cargo was valued at more
than 100000. She played
prominent part In the rescue OF pass
engers from the burning Vabre line
steamship Saint Anna in Mid-At

to the SAINT Anna's aid and took OF
more than 6v0 passengers. tn.
SAINT Anna carried more than goo

WILL BE CLOSED

New York, Aug. 6.-Warning- that
the oldest hotel in New York will be
closed on Aug. %, when more than
so working girls are to be sent ashore
from the ship Jacob A. Stamler, to-
day caused much unhappiness among
the occupants Of the floating hotel. A
notice posted on the bulletin board on
the Stamler's deck read that Ar
buckles Deep Sea Hotel Co. has de-
cided to retire from the hotel business
and will serve no meals after Aug. %.
For years the Stamler has been a
home for girls employed in shops and
stores, at a cost to them varying from
$3.50 to $3.50 a week. Many Of them
earned only 81 a week and II Of the
girls are now unemployed.
The city fire department had or
dered changes to be made in the SIAM
Ter, and 1t was said that the. company
did not wish to go to the expense of
making them. The old ship. built in
1867, was purchased by John Arbuckle
in 1901 and for several years has been
moored at pier in the East river as
a home for girls.

OF the retiring Russian armies the

in the way Of their pursuers, while
others OF their forces continue to Of
Ter stubborn resistance to the Germans

are trying to forge ring around them.
The general opinion here is that the
Russians commenced their retirement.
In time to escape this inner ring. but
they have yet to reckon with the wider
outfianking movement from Lomza..
which, if successful, would turn the
Brest -Litovsk line
An even more serious menace SEEM
ingly is General Won Buelow's advance
in the Baltic provinces. While accord
ing to Petrograd the Germans have
been thrown back Immediately south
OF Riga, they have made a further adj
vance east of Poniewesch toward the
Dvinsk- Wilma Petrograd railway.
some critics believe this move means
tnat the Germans, unless they succeed
In smashing the Russians army, intend
TO make an effort to advance further
into Russia and endeavor to force En-
peror Nicholas to accept a separate
peace. With the history of previous in
vasions of Russia before them. how
ever, it is believed in other quarters
tnat the German staff would hesitate
at such a tremendous undertaking.
Along the Western front the Ger
mans have made series of attacks

French report. were repulsed.
