CBy Associated Press,

London, Oct. 12 Bulgarian troops
invaded Serbia last night.
The Serbian legation received this
telegram from Nish:
Last night the Bulgarians began an
attack in the direction of vlasina. All
attacks up TO the present have been
repulsed decisively."
A dispatch to the Times from
Athens says the Bulgarians began an
attack on Serbia and Gariboghase near
kniashevatz at midday Monday.
Hostilities against Serbia by Bull
garia has been a foregone conclusion
since the rupture between Bulgaria
and the Allies. In fact, the Bulgarian
government issued a manifesto to the
nation last week proclaiming its de-
rision to espouse the cause Of the
Central Powers.

election officials of Kingfisher coun-

CONTINUE ARMS EXPORTS

expectation of arms to one side, or at
least to use this export trade as a
mean to uphold the legitimate trade
with Germany, especially the trade in
foodstuffs."
The American note, signed by Sec
rotary Bryan, was drafted at the state
department, but was finally penned by
President Wilson himself. After point

1t then declares that while the rela'
