New York, Nov. 12.-Whatever may
be happening in northern Serbia, it is
evident the Allies are making head
way in southern Serbia and in south
ern Bulgaria in blocking the Central
powers in their movement to the south,
just as they formerly had blocked the
moves toward the west the northwest.
To the southwest, the northeast and
the southeast. 1t is too early to say
what the end is to be. but the Allies
have coupled with the Serbian army
and have gained considerable ground
from the Bulgars.
Less change is reported from the
Balkan front than at any time since
The new campaign began.
1t is now definitely established that
the French are in possession of the
Serbian town of Neles, a daring cav
airy raid which apparently reached at
least the environS of the place being
responsible for the erroneous reports
that the town had been wrested from
the hands of the Bulgars.
II is. unofficially reported that both
wings of the Bulgarian forces invad-
ing Macedonia are menaced by the
Anglo French advance. while the Ser
bians are said to have resumed the of
fensive in the region of Babun Pass,
where they recently won an import
ant success.
The Serbians are making a stand
there and II is also reported that they
have established complete communica-
tion with the French.
This report, if true, insures the tenn
porary safety of Monastir, where a
condition approaching panic has been
prevailing. Monastir has a large Bull
garian population and il was feared
some of the inhabitants might join the
bands of Bulgarian irregulars which
on several occasions lately have threat

Counties Seeking to Solve
Problem of Unemployed

district attorneys representing the
counties interested submitted the fol-
lowing resolution:
whereas, a large number of men
known rs tramps and hoboes, who eX-
list chiefly by begging, and many of
whom are OF the criminal class, are
now invading Southern California, it
becomes important that vigorous steps
be taken to control the situation. II
is sy the district attorneys OF the coun-
ties represented,
"Resolved. That there being no law
full way for the counties to unite in
expending public funds in any particu
lar county to prosecute for vagrancy
we advise that each board of super
yisors cause persons imprisoned for
vagrancy to perform hard labor on
public works on roads of the county,
or such other places as may be deemed
advisable
Mayor A. w. Swanson heartily con-
CURED in the plan offered by the con
solidated counties.
"The county is the only organization
able to cope with the situation and II
should give the worthy unemployed
work on the county roads. building
bridges, planting trees or some other
Improvement work, but only at nom
inaI wage" Mayor Swanson said. AND
the wage which would be paid should
remain in effect only until such time
as employment is more PLENTIFUL he
continued.
Assuming that the county paid
wage of 81 day, IL would at least
enable such unemployed as the county
would be able TO give employment to
make living honestly
I'm answer to that. people will say
that il will bring in an undesirable eie'
ment and if that proves true the wage
can be cut to 90 cents day sho
