INVADERS REITERATED
ON ANOTHER FRONT
Fierce Battle Is Reported to
Have Been Fought on the
Veles-Komanova Front
Tn Eastern Arena Ger
mans May Have Changed
Position Against Riga

London, Oct. 2s.--Unofficial reports
from Greek sources represent the situa-
tion in southern Serbia as somewhat
more favorable to the entente allies. An
unconfrmed Athens dispatch states that
the Bulgarians have withdrawn from usk-
ND. SaIoniki advices describe fierce
battle along, the veles-Komanov front
with the Bulgarians retreating. Hope is
being revived here that the Serbians Will
be able to reform their lines along the
Monastir front.
The Germans, having effected a june
ton with the Bulgarians, it is possible
that the campaign will be shifted from
an effort to relieve Serbia to an attempt
to cut communication with Constanti-
nople. Military critics declare the en-
tente allies are unlikely 10 withdraw from
salonih regardless of what happens to
Serbia.
Riga and Dvinsk remain the chief Ger
man objectives on the eastern front. The
direction Of the German assault against
Riga may have been changed. Fighting
is reported west Of the city, the main
attacks against which hitherto have been
directed from the southwest and the
southeast.
Comparative inactivity prevails on the
other fronts.

AS TRIED TO ESCAPE
Soldier at Fort Ethan Allen Shot by
Sentinel Who Had Repeatedly
Warned Him to Halt--Skull

Burlington, Oct. 2S.---Joseph SucofslSy,
private of Troop g, second United

not fatally, wounded early yesterday
afternoon when he was attempting TO
escape from the sentinel, member OF

ing hun on the road just east Of the
reservation.
Sucofsky, who was placed in the guard
house at the post Tuesday night, was
put at work with two others on the
road under a sentinel yesterday, work
ing a pick. Early in the afternoon he
asked permission to go to the rear,
which was granted by the sentinel, who
sent man with him. After he had re-
turned and had been at work short
time he turned to the guard with the
question "What would you do if |
should attempt to run away?" Il would
stop you" was the reply. He turned
back to his work for few minutes and
then, throwing down his pick, he start
ed to walk away. When asked where
he was going he made no reply other
than quickening his pace. The guard
then ordered him to halt, but the man
kept on going toward the bank east
OF the electric car track The guard,
who followed, again ordered the prisoner
to halt, with the result that the man
Jumped over the bluff and started TOR
the railroad track. The guard, who had
Mt that time reached the top of the
bank, ordered him, for the third time,
to come to halt. but the man fastened
his gait and started to run up the track.
The shout "Stop or | viii shoot made
no impression and the guard then shot
into the ground in the direction OF the
running prisoner, as warning and pro-
ceeded to chase him up the track. The
man had a good start, however, and 1t
was then that the sentinel raised his
rifle and shot to wound, the man being
fully go yards away at the time.
The prisoner crumpled up, the bullet
taking effect, and when he was reached
by the sentinel and othFrs working IN
the vicinity it was at first thought he
was dead The bullet had penetrated
the back OF the head and come out at
the front. Sucofslsy was Immediately

the blood clots removed Following the

slightly. but his condition is very grave,
and his chances for recovery are con
sidered to be very slight.

listed at Fort Sloeum. n. Y, on March
2. 1915. He was detailed to the I'd cav
