London, England, issue be-
tween Bulgaria and Serbia apparent
ly has been Joined squarely. 1t is
reported unofficially that Bulgaria
has declared war. Little is known
here of the progress of hostilities
between these combatants, beyond
the fact that Bulgaria has invaded
Serbia and is said to have suffered
reverses in the opening engagements.
In northern Serbia the Austro-Ger-
man invaders are meeting with
stubborn resistance.
A report from Petrograd yesterday
of an important Russian success in
Galicia has been confirmed officially.
General Ivanoff has broken the Aus
tro-German front along the Stripa
river, taking 1000 prisoners and, a
number Of large guns, if the Russian
victory is as definite as indicated by
the following announcement, the
Austrians may be compelled to fall
back upon Lemberg. Such a retreat
wkould have considerable moral eff
feet in the Balkans, where continu-
ed neutrility of several states is be-
lieved to be due largely to severe re-
the summer campaign.
Germans Still After Dvinsk.
In the Dvinsk region desperate but
indecisive fighting continues with
the offensive shifting frequently
from one side to another. Field
Marshall Won Hindenburg evidently
intends to continue his attack as 1t
is reported that reinforcements for
his army are on the way to the
Dvinsk front.
From the western front come re-
ports bearing evidence that the
French are resuming offensive in
Champagne. Paris claims slow but
steady progress, accompanied by the
capture of few prisoners and heavy
losses for the Germans. A German
correspondent at the front states
that great fighting in which all arms
seem to be engaged, is now proceed
ing in Champagne, which is regard-
ed as an indication that the French
intended to resume the offensive.
Beyond an announcement made by
Premier Viviani in the French cilam-
Der, little has yet developed as to
the extent Of the aid to be given by
the Entente powers to Serbia in re-
sisting the Austro-German effort to
clear the road to Constantinople. 1t
is reported unofficially, however,
that Italy will not be able to spare
any troops for this purpose.
