Berlin Claims That the Bulgarans Are Knocking at the
Outer Doors of Nish With Their Heavy Artillery

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The British
troops in the Balkans. whose move
ments have been kept secret since they
entered the port of Saloniki. have now
joined the Allies and are fighting Bull
garia just across from Strumsita.
Though reports that the Allies have
taken the town are apparently un-
true, it is along this lower stretch OF
the front that the Bulgarians will
likely feel their first hard blow.
From Uskup north to the Danube
river the Bulgarian offensive has made
such progress that it seems a question
for the Serbians to much more than
fight a rear-guard action for the pres
ent.
In northeastern Serbia, the Bulgar-
ians are we'll across the Timok river
and pressing forward vigorously in
order to widen communication lines
with Hungary up the Danube river.
The Russian expedition reported on
the way to the Bulgarian coast is
now estimated at 100000 men, but has
not been heard from. There are re-
current reports of the bombardment
of Bulgarian ports.
The British are showing Increased
activity at the Dardanelfes.
The recapture of Tahure hill by the
Germans sums up the known result of
fighting in the Champagne country.

LAWMAKERS To
GATHER AGAIN
ON WEDNESDAY
SPECIAL SESSION WILL CONVENE
THIS WEEK.

Sumter's representatives in the leg
islature will be early upon the scene
for the special session which convenes
Wednesday morning for an indefinite
period, though probably short one. 1t
is expected that the first matter to be
placed before it will be one of the new
prohibition bills. This bill will be one
with stringent requirements and it is
the general belief that it VIII carry.
In fact, there seems to be no doubt
Whatever as to the ability of the pro-
hibitionists to enact any laws they see
fit.
Other matters to be taken up will
he the general appropriation BILL the
automobile tax bill, the state ware
house bill, the Western e Atlantic
railroad bill, and an amendment to
the state fish law.
1t is quite probable that the auto
mobile tax bill and the prohibition
measures will receive the bulk of at
tention and that the latter will be the
first to come up.
1t is predicted that the advocates
of new prohibition laws, who caused
an adjournment to be taken at the
regular session without the general
appropriation bill being passed, will
call up the liquor measures and force
action to be taken thereon. Their ma
jority is such as to enable them to do
this.
