is in progress in every theater of the
world-war. Gen. Sarrail is attacking
the Bulgar-German forces along the
entire Greek-Serbian frontier, a dis
tance of more than $50 miles.

indicate that the entente allies are
following the same tactics in the Balk-
ans that signalized the opening of the
great offensive on the Somme. Small
bodies of troops are attacking at nu-
merous points along the Bulgarian
line, apparently with the intention OF
feeling out their opponents positions
before the real battle opens.
The French claim the capture of
number of villages in the initial
phases of the offensive, while Berlin
reports the capture of Florina, a
Greek town fifteen miles southeast of
Monastir. from the Serbians. Serbian
headquarters admits this repulse.

retreating toward the Chornahora
ridge, the highest point in the Carpa-
thians in that region. From this ridge
the ground falls rapidly toward the
plains of Hungary.
Farther to the south, on the Buko.
wina end of the battle-line, the Rus
SLAMS have been forced back in their
advance on Kirlibaba. the next pass

miles from that point.

blow the hot gas away, and
though your breath is warm IL is
not warm enough to cause the
wax to turn into gas--it takes a
great degree Of heat to 10 that.
So when you blow away the hot
gas the wax becomes cold again;
