TODAY'S BELLRINGER
The kindly old squire was giving a
little treat to the village school chill
dren. After tea he stepped on to the
platform and announced with
beaming smile:
Nov am going to perform GER
tain actions and you must guess
what proverb they represent. The
boy or girl who succeeds first will re-
ceive quarter.
That did it. Instantly every eye
was fixed on him.
First of all, the old gentleman lay
down on the platform. Then one
man came forward and tried in vain
to lift him. Two others came to his
aid and between them they raised the
squire, who was rather portly.
The actions we're meant to repre-

When they had finished the squire
stepped forward and asked if any
child had solved the puzzle.
At once a grubby hand shot up
and an eager voice squeaked:

REPORTS FROM sALoNIkI

Paris. August 20-Reports from Salonil1i show that the general engagement which began Friday is continuing with inten- sity over an extended front from Flo rina, near Monastir, to the river Struma This represents an irregular line of 15o miles
 General Sarrail is directing the united operations of the allies with Gen. eral Cordonnier commanding the French. The operations have been long expected as a part of the allies co-ordinated of- fensive on all fronts. They follow the arrival of General Cordonnier after ex- tended conferences with officials here.
 Advices received in Paris indicate thai the Germans and Bulgarians are seeking to anticipate the movement by taking the offensive on the left, where the Ser bians have moved up to within 25 miles of Monastir, holding Florina as an obser- vation post Their orders were not to attempt to retain Florina if they were attacked. The Serbian war office says the Bulgarians were thrown back on the old positions, but that later the serbians, following instructions, evacuated F'lorina, which the Bulgarians then occupied
 The Serbians retired slowly and later delivered a heavy counter attack against large Bulgarian force debouching from

 rEu7 sxylc ATTACKS Russians Successfully Cross the Stokhod-Are Fight
 ing Within Sight of the
 Hungarian Plains

The German high seas fleet has again appeared in the North sea and in a clash be- tween German submarines and British scout ships two British light cruisers have been sent to the bottom. London reports that one of the submarines was destroyed and that another was rammed and possibly sunk.
 This is the first appearance in the North sea of strong German naval forces since the battle of Jutland on May 13. The first news that the Ger mans had left the shelter of their mine fields and fortified bases was brought to Holland by trawlers, which reported sighting a German squadron of 15 war ships, including large cruisers. This fleet was accompanied by two Zeppe- lins and was steering northwest in the region of White Bank.
 The two British vessels lost were the Nottingham, 5400 tons and the Falmouth, 5250 tons. The crews of both the ships were saved with the exception of 39 men. The Germans also claim to have sunk a British destroyer and damaged bat tleship but this is denied by London According to the British admiralty, the the main British forces and returnese&t te port when it's scouts reported the ap- proach of strong British squadrons. On the western front the French continue to press forward in the neighborhood of Guillement and Paris reports the capture of a strongly fortified wood between that town and Maurepas.
 IN VERDUN SECTOR
 In the Verdun sector, the Germans are fiercely counter attacking in an ef- fort to regain Fleury, the loss of which they concede. The British report the repulse of German counter attacks and the capture of a portion of trenches north of Bazentin- Le-Petit.
 In the east, the Russians are apparently centering their efforts on their new drive toward Kovel. Berlin admits that Gen. eral Brusiloff's troops have crossed the Stokhod at one point and Petrograd says that the Russians have pushed on beyond the river and captured a series of heights on the road to Kovel. Fierce fighting continues on the crest of the Carpa- thians where the Russians are battling within sight of the Hungarian plains. No indication has been given, however, of the strength of the forces engaged in this fight and it is uncertain as yet, whether General Brusiloff Is making a serious efort to invade Hungary.
 The offensive the Saloni1si front fs slowly developing and the fighting is growing in intensity on the 150-mile battle line from Lake Presby to Lake Doiran. Both sides claim minor successes but ap- parently no action of importance has oc- cured An interesting feature on this front is the advance of Bulgarian de- tachments toward the Greek seaport of Kavala. This port is well to the east of the allied front and the purpose of the Bulgarian move is not made clear in the dispatches. s-

BULGARIAN ARMY
 HEADED AT KAVALA,
 LARGE GREEK PORT
Long Expected Offensive at Saloniki Begins With Minor Brushes Between
 the Allies and Bulgars

Paris, August 20.-Bulgarian troops are advancing toward the Greek seaport of Kavala. it was announced today. They have seized two Greek forts. At sev- eral points along the front new engage ments have been fought.
 The official report of operations on the Saloniki front, from the French army of the east follows:
 East of Kavala, Bulgarians have cross- ed the Nestos (Mesta) in small force and are sending patrols forward in the direc- tion of Kavala.
 enemy occupied the Greek forts of Lise and Starcista on the right bank, and ad- vGnoed some troops to the approaches to the river.
 West of the Struma Bulgarian attacks or Puroj Manion were stopped by our fire. Near Lake Doiran British troops repulsed Bulgarian attacks on Dodgeli. On the western bank of the Vardar there was rather brisk sheling especially to- ward Majadaj.
 Tn the region south of Menastir fight Ing continues at the approaches to Banica between Serbian guards and Bull garian forces debouching from Florina '
 The Greek port of Kavala is on the Aegean sea. 80 miles northeast of Sa- loniki and 20 miles west of the Bulga- rian border. The river referred to in the official French report as having been crossed by the Bulgarians probably is the Mesta, which flows from Bulgaria through the northeastern extremity of Groce and enters the Aegean near the Greco Bulgarian border
 The Struma. on which are situated the two Greek forts occupied by the Bulga- rians, is some distance west of the Mesta, witt. an outlet into the Aegean near Or fani.
