that Bulgaria has declared for the
central powers, Germany and Aus

Bulgaria to take an active stand in

1t is stated by a Berlin paper that
a proclamation has been issued at
Sofia giving the reasons for Bulgar-
ia taking a stand in behalf of Aus
tria and Germany.
1t is declared that the entente pow

The German war Office tells of six
massed assaults by Joffre's soldiers

The scene OF this severe conflict is
about five miles due west of Tahure,
the important strategic point won by
the French in yesterdays fighting.
The Germans admit the success Of
the assaults at Tahure, but state con,
cisely that "a counterattack is pro-
ceeding" This "counterattack, ac-
cording to the official French bullet
ms. consisted of six terrific attacks,
all OF which are said to have been re-
pused.
Violent combats are going on at
many other points on the western
front, and the severity of the artillery

London, Oct THE German Of
fensiye against Dyinsk is at last max
ing some headway. The German Off
cial communication says that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg has pene-
trated the Russian lines over a front
of about three miles, Throughout
the centre the Russians are still on
the offensive.
The following official report on the
eastern theatre was issued at Berlin
today:
Army group OF Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg: Before Dyinsk our
troops penetrated the positions Of
the enemy extending over width of
FIVE kiometers, (about three miles.)
South Of Lake Drisitata the enemy
has been forced further back. An
attacking brigade of Russian cavalry
was destroyed by our fire.
Between Lake Boginskoie and the
region of Smorgon the Russians re-
peated their costly attempts to break
through our lines. which, without eX-
ception, failed, after hand-to-hand
fighting in some cases. Eleven Off
GERS and 1900 men were taken pris-

London, Oct S--News from various
sources places the strength of the
Teutonic armies invading Serbia at
100000 men. The troops which Bul-
garia is able to throw against the
borders OF Serbia are supposed to be
OF about equal number. While there
is no news yet at hand that the Bul-
garian forces have moved to cross the
frontier, it is generally supposed here
that the invasion has begun on the
southern side of Serbia, as well as on
the north and that in all probability
these forces are supported by some
100000 Turkish troops who are not re
qured at the Dardanelles.
Petrograd dispatches say the with
drawal of Austrian and German
troops from the southern section Of
the Russian battle line still contin.
ues. These men are being sent
across Pennsylvania and thus to the
Serbian bOrde:.

Plan TO NIP fees" At
MOUNT VERNON GATES
Legislation to Eliminate Graft at Tomb
of Nations Father Soon to
Be Introduced.

Legislation designed to eliminate al
legged graft at Mount Vernon and to
place the tomb of the Father of his Coun-
try on a higher plane than that of COM
mercialized patriotism probably will be
introduced IN Congress within the next
week or two.
Many patriotic and public spirited resi-
dents of Washington and neishboring
States have been aroused by the facts
presented in the expose of conditions at
Mount Vernon. as set forth by officials
of the Mount Vernon Anti-Fee Associa-
ton and as published in yesterday S
Herald.
5. J. McFarren. of 1918 Park road
northwest. one Of the leading members
of the association, said last night that
friends of the organization in Con-
gress are stirred about the matter and
Immediately will foster remedial legis-
latiOn. This legislation will contain
two main prOvisions-the enlargement
of the functions of the Interstate Com
merce Commission so as to place the
control Of interstate water transporta
tion under its jurisdiction, and second
the governmental acquisition of Mount
Vernon.
If the second project fails. a substi-
tute plan will be offered. 1t will be
suggested to separate Washingtons
tomb from the Mount Vernon grounds
proper. making the former open to the
public free Of charge and preserving
the present fee system with respect to
the home of the first President.
