'Bugarial1s Evidently Occupy
Front at .Tetovo According 4
to Best Information.
ALLIES ARE MENAcED TOO
Newly Arrived Allied Forces
May Not Be Large Enough
to, Meet Onslaught.

LONDON, Nov. 4 6.-The exact sit
certain Dispatches from the near
\ East are conflicting and doubt as to
the time Of events to which they
refer injects an additional element
! OF uncertainty. It Is clear. however,
that the Bulgarians have been re-
enforced and have begun a new Of
fensive.
The operations in central Mace.
donia. according to Rome accounts,
present a most powerful menace to
the armies of Serbia and its allies.
which are operating from Tetovo
through Perlepe to the southeastern
Serbian frontier. kilograms re-
ceived almost simultaneously from
Greece announce that Tetovoi Is in the
hands Of both the Serbians and Bull
gnrians, but the preponderances OF
evidence points to Bulgarian occu-
patton Of this front.
The Bulgarians are making des-
perate efforts to force their way
through Katchanik pass In the direc-
ton Of Pristina. They are also at
tempting to advance, from Tetovo to
Perlepe and Monastir and by forcing
Babuna pass to reach Perlepe from
the other side. These operations are
said to have placed Monastir again
In danger.
Bulgarian Onslaught.
It is at presenta problem whether
the newly arrived French and Brit
fish forces are large enough to meet
this Bulgarian onslaught which APP
parently has begun with extraordi-
naryavigor.
What Greece will do in the event
that allied troops are forced back
over the Greek frontier is still a
matter Of speculation. A message
from Greece says the government will
extend to the Serbians the same priv
tleges as those accorded to the
/, French and British in case Of their
5encroachment on Greek territory,
but in view of the fact that no def
mite announcement has been made as
to what these privileges will be fur
ther than the original statement of
Premier Skouloudts that the allied
troops would be permitted to reach
the sea unmolested the intentions Of
+, Greece remain obscure.
Russian Admission.
On the Galiciap frontier the Rus
SLAMS, while admitting they have
yielded some ground in the neigh
borhood Of the Styr forts, do not con-
cede they have been forced back
across the river as is claimed in the
German official statement Of yester-
day.
Further details of this fighting will
be necessary to determine whether
the Russians have lost the town of
J Czartorysk and whether Russian con-
troll of the Kovel-Sarny railway is
thereby endangered.

Theatrical.
by Bus

Henri Rostand, the great ma
gician, appeared at the Amuzu
the first two nights of this
week. His performance was
the greatest ever seen on the
local stage. Besides being in.
terested and enjoyable, his acts
are absolutely mystifying with
out the slightest trace. OF any
thing by which his tricks can
be fathomed out. Most magi-
clans have table with small
cloth over which can be hollow,
but Rostand performs right be-
fore the eyes without ANYTHING
with the possible exception of Il
plain folding chair. His clair
voyant visions are the most
mysterious act ever shown here
surprising anything of the kind
ever witnessed by the local au.
dience.
The Anuzu closed down last
night for about one week to
undergo spring cleaning, re-
painting, etc. The place will
hardly he recognized when MIR.
Taylor re-opens. The reopen
ing date will be announced in
the next issue of the Post. The
color scheme for the inside dec

this work is completed, which
will give Big Stone Gap the
most beautiful little thcatre

considerable difficulty in decid-
ing which deserved the medal
as both sides brought cut excep-
tionally strong points. but it

tive, Appalachia, had more
DOiuts in their favor and thare

No, we don't intend to miss a
single opportunity to insist on
the weeds being kept out of the
pastures this season. If not
all the pasture, then select one
acre that has been weedy other
years and NOV that every time
the weeds begin to get the best
of the grass. If the live stock
don't tell you they appreciate
1T, by going to that acre. 20
