GREEK PARLIAMENT
10 Be DISSOLVED.
Entente Allies Abandon
Hope of Aid From the
Greek Nation.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Any hope which
the entente allies may have entertain
ed that the friendly neutrality Of
Greece might be converted into some.
thing more positive in their favor
seems to have been dissipated by the
latest news from Athens. 1t is re.
ported Premier zaimis has consented
to reconstruct the cabinet and that
the chamber of deputies will be
dissolved.
Additional details were received to-
day from Serbian sources concerning
the victory which the Serbians say
they have won over the Bulgarians at
lsyar, situated at the entrance to Ba.
buna pass in the southern section OF
the country. British cavalry and
French infantry are said to have Ia.
ken part in the engagement. II It is
true that the Bulgarians were routed
and were in full flight for Veles, the
safety of Prilep and Monastir Is as
sured for the present and the way to
Uskup may be paved.
The Bulgarians are within short
distance Of Nish, According to one
account they have already penetrated
the city. The Austro.G German allies
have reached Paracin, an important
junction on the eastern Danube rail-
road, so miles northwest Of Nish.
# The fortunes of war are showing
the customary fluctuation along the
east front. Vienna asserts the Rus
sian thrust along the stripa has been
repulsed completely, 1000 men being
captured.
Petrograd asserts the attack OF the
invaders west OF Dvinsk was beaten
back with 1000 of their dead left on
the field. In the defense OF Riga the
Russian troops are now assisted by
war ships which have been shelling
German positions at Sciiick.

Cured Meat for Market

There is not a farmer in the
county who cannot sell a good old
ham for 20 to 25c a pound. Why
not slaughter many more hogs
than you will need for your own
use, cure hams, shoulders and
sides nicely and make the profit
there is in it. Lard, if good, al
ways brings a paying price, and
there is a ready sale for all the
cured meat that is offered. Have
from a dozen to one hundred
cured hams to sell next year and
mark the profit.

Allies Blockade and Bluff Greece
Bulgarians Suffering Losses.
Doubling Efforts.

The interest in the great war
is still centered in the Balkan
country. Allies have made over
lures and issued threats to
Greece which may serve to en-
list that kingdom against Aus
tria- Germany.
Serbia is nearly all in, tho now
and then defeating the Bulgars.
Itappears imperative that Greece
must consent to Serbs and others
taking refuge in that country to
save them from extinction and
herself from the wrath of the
Allies. Austro-G German army cap
tured 21500 of the Servian army
in three days and the last stand
of that army is being made with
little hope of remaining there
long.
