FLEET BOMBARDS
BULGARIAN COAST
SOFIA REPORTS NO DAMAGE
RESULTED FROM THE
ATTACK.
GREECE DECLINES TO GET IN
Servians Make Noble Fight Against
Invaders But Are Overwhelmed
With Superior Numbers
Italians Succeed.

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, a dis
lance of 80 miles. How many vessels
e 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
ton 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 meal 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 vor
Hindenburg for his drive at Riga
which seems to have been checked
have been delivering some fierce
strokes at the German center IN the
Styr and in Galicia.

Washington, D. C.-Mrs. Gait, the

of Congressman Dent of Alabama.
While Mrs. Dent was shopping on f

curious throng. Mrs. Dent took the
matter good humoredly, but was I'M

striking is the resemblance, until she
