The War Last Week

every direction during the week and
aside from occasional claims from
Berlin and Vienna that attacks in
certain quarters had failed, reports
made a story of almost unbroken
progress for the entente allies.
On the Saloniki front, where the
troops of nearly all the entente al
lies are fighting, the British crossed
the Struma River and attacked Bull
garians, withdrawing a few days
/ later, but Servians continued an Of
fensive in Macedonia and reported
important gains. Bulgars were also
said to be retreating from Greece,
invaded with some success a few
weeks ago, and likewise abandoning
Varna, their principal port on the
Black Sea.
Rumanians continued their often
sive against Austrians in Transylva-
MIA, forcing the enemy to retreat,
this result being admitted by Vienna.
Russian progress in the Carpathian
region was not disputed, but Ber-
lin claimed to have checked their
advance toward Lemberg from the
southeast. The Muscovites also
made Roadway in their operations
against the Bulgarians in conjunc-
ton with Rumanian forces.
On the west front the French and
English armies reported highly i'm
portant successes, the former hav-
ing cut the Bapaume-Peronne road,
constituting a vital line of commu-
nication for the Germans. This adj
vantage was strengthened by the
taking of German trenches near
Combles. Violent counter attacks
by the Teutons were reported to
have been repulsed.
Italian armies operating on the
Trentino front announced important
gains.
A council of war by notables of
the Teutonic allies was held, the
Kaiser being in attendance, as was
the King and Crown Prince of Bull
garia.
Developments IN Greece tending
to hasten the formal entry of that
country into the struggle on the
side of the entente allies.
New armored war cars that belch
destruction and move unhampered
by mounds, stumps or craters led the
way in the British drive in the SOM
me Friday, which resulted in one of
the most extensive strokes of the
offensive, and gave the Germans a
startling surprise. The juggernauts
penetrated to third-line trenches.
The Latest
The British line has advanced 1000
yards on mile front and captured
a powerfully fortified German work
called the "Quadrilateral." South
of Combles, on the Somme~ front,
the French have carried another
group of German trenches. Desper-
ate fighting continues around Denie-
court, while actions both in the
Champagne district and on the Ver-
dun front, where the French cap
tured a trench on Deadman Hill, are
recorded.
French forces have captured the
important city of Florina in Macedo-
MIA and all Bulgarians are retiring
in disorder toward Monastir.

The . BIG CLASSIC
Pitt.-Syraeuse Game the Fea-
ture Card of East Today.
Outcome VIII Determine the
Real Strength of Teams.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, Oct. 21.-The Pittsburg-
Syracuse game today is THE football
contest in the east 1t brings together
two eIevens that rank right now
among the greatest in the country and
the outcome of the battle may elirni-
nate one from championship aspira-
tions.
The way Syracuse has steam-rolled
all opposition to date makes it an awe
some outfit to behold. The Orange
line this year, with its giant guards
doing yeoman work, perhaps is the
most powerful in America White and
Schlachter weigh an average of $50
pounds each and for men so heavy
ARE amazingly fast. Flanking them
are two of the huskiest tackles in
captivity, while in the center of the
line is a very burly center. No team
to date has made dent in that stone
wall defense and if Pittsburg can do
so it shall take place among the truly
great elevens in the 1915 football
world.
The Pittsburg team of a year ago
tackled the toughest teams in the
country-and ended the season with
out suffering defeat. All signs point
year than that of last. But that game
with Navy last Saturday has altered
the viewpoint of some folks Pitt beat
Navy AZ to IL last year and was able
to nose out only 20-19 victory in 1916.
Does that mean a stronger Navy team
or a weaker Pitt outfit? The game
today shall answer the story-and the
eyes of the football world are focused
upon il
"Stellars- in West.
The matchmakers bring into action
in the west today all of the nine con-
ference teams. And before the sun
sets behind the hills, it is likely that
the championship hopes of three more
elevens will have laid to rest
