BIG SERBIAN RAILROAD
is HELD BY THE BULGARS

sALoN1Kl, Oct. 26--with Uskup
IN their possession the Bulgarians
now hold with strong forces the Nish-
saloniki railroad between vranya
and uskup, distance of about fifty
miles. They have thus cut direct
communication between Nlsh ana
saloniki leaving open only the uncer-
tain means of transit over the Mon
astir-Prlstina line.

grave. Of course, but it is no wise
desperate" said a French officer this
evening. THE Austrians and Ger
mans have advanced less than twelve
miles on the Danube front, notwith-
standing their numerical superior
1ty.
The line now held by the Bulgar-
ians may prove to be perilous to
them. You may say the French are
fully alive to the situation and are
not at all discouraged"

Result Of Its Activities is Adj.
vanced as an Affirmative
Answer to Question.
.(Cornm1ulnicated.).

The best proof OF the need of the
Associated Charities institution is the
result Of its activities. Judged on this
basis. the Associated Charities in
Clarksburg has abundant reason for
its existence.
The report Of the year ending April
\, 1915. shows that 1,132 persons were
helped during the year. This would
mean an average OF over three cases
a day. This does not include 600 odd
interviews in the Office.
The fact that there are SO many
people that need help is sufficient ex-
cuse for the existence of an organ
ization such as the Associated Char
tiles. A study Of the good that has
been done to more than one thousand
people would convince the most skep-
teal citizens, that in on other way
could he invest his money in order to
receiev so great good, or to do a
greater amount Of charitable work.
The 900 Office interviews, while
scarcely considered by the casual OBJ
server OF our annual report, repre-
serts vast amount Of good In the
natter Of sympathy and advice to
those who come to the Associated
Charities because they know of no
other PAIGE to go for help.
Last year was the first year of the
work, and naturally was matter of
experiment. both to those who pro-
noted the enterprise, and to those for
whose benefit IL was promoted. We
can expect an increase in the number
o applicants for assistance during
this year. We feel that many of our
subscribers did not receive the benefit
from the Associated Charities that they
should have had. because they failed
to refer all applicants to the associa-
ton, and did not refrain from donating
personally. One business firm in our
city. who contributed a large SPIN to
the support OF the Associated Chart
ties last year, made the statement to
the managing committee that .'the
money invested in Associated Charities
had been the most paying investment
in dollars and cents of any invea tment
they had made while in business"
Needless to say this firm referred
every applicant to the Asst ciatei
Charities 1t is also needless TO say
that many OF them never showed up
ut the Associated Charities office be-
cause they knew their case would not
stand inspection.

Mvhichis Now Being Conducted
in Behalf of the Local AS
ISOLATED Charities.

The campaign for Associated Chari-
ties that is getting nicely under way
lat this time, is asking for contribu-
zion Of So, 000sas a total The plan
Of the campaign is as follows:
Five special committees organized
as follows:
Committee No. 1.-one man ex-
pected I osecure four subscriptions
|of $3.50 each.
Committee No. 1.-Two men ex-
pected to secure tin subscriptions Of
500 each.
Committee No. 3.-Four men ex-
pected to secure twenty subscriptions
|of $50 each.
Committee No. s.-Eight men ex-
|pected to secure twenty subscriptions
Eof $25 each:
Committee Moo. 5.-Twenty men
expected to secure 100 subscriptions
|of $40 each.
1t will be noted that the goal Of
each committee will be to raise
81 900. 1t will also be noted that
each committeeman will be expected
to secure ave subscriptions of his de-
denomination,
This scheme. reducing the work Of
solicitation OF Ave subscriptions per
worker, reduces the services Of the
workers by the managing committee
to a minimum, considering the results
expected. The day and the general
whirl=wind campaign on the last day
is expected to yield the additional
$1,000, thus accounting for the total
expected.
With this amount of money in
prospect, the Associated Charities
could take care of the work for the
coming year in a way that would be
a credit to the community, and with
out so often calling upon special
friends for aid in special cases.
Locate yourself on this schedule Of
donations as near the top as prud-
'ence will low, and cheer the solicit
tor by q quick response and good wish
when he calls for your subscription.
A dollar with the Associated Chart
ties will do more good than ten dol
lars handed to the unknown beggar
that solicits you in the street or in
your Office.
