GREECE DECLINES TO GET IN

London.-The allies fleet in the
Aegean Sea, which has been bonn.
harding the coast of Bulgaria, has
turned its guns against the country
side and bombarded it from Dedeag-
hatch westward to Porto Lagos, dis
Gance Of 3S miles. How many vessels
were engaged in the attack or what
Its exact purpose was is not known.
Sofia asserts that no damage has
resulted TO Dedeaghatch from the
shells Of the warships, but no men,
tion is made of Porto Lagos nor Of
any other places that lie within the
attacked zone.
While the Teutonic allies and the
. Bulgarians continue their operations
against the Serbs and are steadily
gaining ground in the little kingdom,
the Serbs are still tenaciously con-
tending their advance. Reports from
Nish say the invaders are losing
heavily, the losses in killed, wounded
and prisoners having reached an ag-
.gregate of 10000.
Greece Declines Offer.
The allied troops landing at Sal
Oniki to lend their aid to the Serbs
have not as yet, so far as is known,
come in contact with the Bulgarian
forces which have pressed their way
across Serbian territory from the
east, and now control the railway
running northward from the Greek
border and up the Vardar Valley to
Nish.
Greece has declined for the present
the allies offer to her of Cyprus and
other concessions, territorial and
financial, in return for her adherence
to the Serbo-Greek treaty of alliance,
which would mean her military aid
TO assist in meeting the Bulgarian
and Austro German attacks against
her former ally.
Russian Campaign.
Outside of the Balkans the heaviest
fighting has been in progress along
the eastern front. The Russians, TAX
ing advantage of the removal of Ger
man troops from other points on the
front to REINFORCE Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg for his drive at Riga,
which seems to have been checked,
have been delivering some fierce
strokes at the German center on the
Styr and in Galicia.

MEETING
Again Held BY The Ma
Chinists Wednesday.

The Machirist' Local, No, 24l
held another one of those rousing
meetings last Wednesday night in
the German Home, on Court ST.
The local was scheduled TO meet in
the B. u. B. hall but it was found
early in the evening that the hall
was not large enough and that the
machinists would be compelled to
seek larger quarters which they
did. About one hundred and fifty
formed In line most of these ma
chinists being men who have come
from other shops and are desirous
of becoming part of the big move
ment for the universal eight-hour
day. The meeting al the German
Home was called to order by Chas.
Vaughn president of the machin-
lists. He later introduced organizer
Griffith who gave the machinists
some good sound advice on why
they should become members of
the organization. He stated that
the factories that volunteered the
increase to the men knew that the
machinists were organizing end
that they would be compelled to
do something for them. The
balance of the men in the shops
that are not organized were told
they do not come in on the in
crease. That in itself will proove
conclusively that it was the Cr-
ganization that brought about the
increase, but it is net exactly what
the machinists were going to ask
for. What the machinists want
Is straight eight hour day with
no decrease in wages and time and
one half for overtime He urged
every man in the city who is ma
chinist to come into the organiza,
tion at once and all those who are
now in to stay until the eight hour
day is secured for all. After the
meeting adjourned about one hun
dred machinists went 10 the second
floor of the building and were ini
tiated into the organization. The
noon-day meetings will be contin
ued at the shops. Large crowds
of machinists, molders, core makers
and laborers attend all Of these

II w0uid go through a stone wa11, or
perhaps smash it, or would go deep
into dirt embankment, but it was not
easy to put shot inside a narrow deep
trench, or to plant shot SO close be-
hind an embankment as to kill men
sheltered there.
The shot from the gun was good at
penetration, but ineffective in search
ing the rear of cover. To accomplish
that purpose another style of gun was
devised. The pressure per square inch
Of powder chamber was decreased, the
angle of elevation OF the gun was in
creased the angle of departure Of the
shot VISA greatly increased and the
shot after reaching the summit Of it's
path fell SO steeply that if the range
were known and the practice good the
shot would land in a trench or fall so
close behind an embankment or para
pet that men would find no shelter
there.
This being possible by a reduction Of
powder pressure per square inch Of
chamber surface and consequent re
duction in the speed of the projectile,
1t was found that the weight of the
gun in relation to the weight of the
projectile could be diminished, thus in

Considered in a broad and general

means that the shot passing from the
gun to the target did not rise high
