eerbians Strike Flank.
Success would have compounded
the whole entent allied line, but lack
Of success was bound to prove costly
by jsopardizing the whole Bulgarian
right.
The first wavering among the Bull
garians was caused by the unexpected
pressure of the French and Russians
on their extreme flank, and the Ser

tackled theoretically.
At first the Serbian infantry made
little impression on the well-intrenched
Bulgars, but after a strong lombard

bans carried line after line Of

abandon the whole Of their advanced
positions along the Malkanidze range,

The contingents were divided into
three parties in converging move

SLAMS started from Verria, southwest

marches.
A French column was directed
against the same objective, while the
Serbians in the region Of Horovitz
were ordered to repel the Bulgars
from the heights in the vicinity of
Eckshiu and Petroskou. The Bulgars
were decimated and fed, leaving
everything behind.
The road to Monastir, the dispatch
adds, is now free, and it is safe to pre-

Boston. Jan. 9-The United States
is not building up permanent foreign
trade. but Is contentedly making
profits by the export Of war munitions,
says a bulletin just issued by the d.
rectors of the Port Of Boston.
The bulletin asserts that the nmbi'
ton OF nations 10 control foreign
trade and the seas Is the economic
root Of tho present war and Of the
majority Of past wars in Europe, and
that to have universal peace and uni
versal justice there must be freedom
OF the seas and freedom Of trade.
America is urged TO work TO this end
to reject temptation 20 dominate and
to use her energies and mora! forces 50
that no one nation or group OF nations
shall b.. supreme on the ocean 10 the
detriment Of the rest Of the world.
Analysis is made Of the foreign trade
OF tho United States since tho war In
Europe. and tho manufacturer Of the
country are criticised for turning their
back. on staple lines Of export indus
try for the gamble Of war orders.

Ing a balance of trade Of exports over
imports Of more than sl.000,OOO,OOO in
favor Of the United States
II Is pointed out, however, that there
are several features Of this Sl,00O,OQO.-
600 balance of trade worth Analysing
and that the 5000 100000 decrease IN
imports is partly responsible for the
good showing.
Tn. bulletin states that 71.3 per cent
Of the enormous exports o. the United
States went to Europe. l7.lO per cent
TO other North American countries, 2
per cent TO Asia including China and
Asiatic RUSSIA and Oceanta, SO per
cent 10 South America and per cent
70 Africa The future OF the export
trade Of the country depends TO a
