ITALIAN TROOPS
FOR BALKAN WAR
First Contingent Of Latins
Lands at SaIOniki.
BULGARS MENACING KAVALA

Greek Army Retires Before invaders.
Civilians Flee - Germans Drive
Southwest - Entente Allied Line
Drives Back Bulgars on Other
Fronts-Greek Authorities Permit
Invasion.
London, Aug. pa general often
sive along the entire SalOniki front
was launched Sunday by the allies, &C
cording to a French war office state
ment. The Serbians have captured the
Bulgarian first line on the left of the
battle front, but have lost the town of
Banica, south Of Florina
On the center and right wing heavy
fighting is in progress. The British
French forces have crossed the
Struma and are attacking Bulgarian
positions northwest Of Sores.
Berlin, Aug. 22.-The German and
Bulgarian forces which have taken
the offensive on the western end Of
the Balkan front are pushing south
ward in Greece, the war office com
munication shows. They have wrested
further positions from the Serbians
and beaten off efforts to recapture
ground won.
italian Forces at SaIoniki.
Paris, Aug. 22-Italian troops began
to disembark at Saloniki Sunday, says
the Havas dispatch from that point.
On leaving their ships, the dispatch
says, the Italians passed through Sa-
loniki to camp, preceded by military
bands of the allies and cheered by the
populace.
No further details of the operations
on the Saloniki front are given in the
report from the French army Of the
east, which shows that fighting is still
in progress along the whole line. The
announcement says:
corporations are proceeding along
the entire front"
BuIgars Push Toward kavaIa.
Athens, Greece, Aug. 22-Bulgarian
forces moving toward Kavala have al
ready pushed their outposts to point
seven miles from that Greek seaport
The Greek government has ordered
three divisions of the Greek army re-
naming in the vicinity of Drama and
Series to retire before the Bulgarian
advance, which is explained to cor
respondent by military authority OF
the entente allies as follows:
"The Serbians had not finished the
consolidation Of their positions in the
F1orina Caradjova and Corytsa sec
tors, and therefore the Bulgarians
found it easy enough to force a GER
tain retirement, but it is difficult to
see where they expect to get by an adj
vance at this part of the line. East
of the Struma the Demir-Hissar and
the Sarichaban sectors were moot held
by the entente forces and offered no
impediment to the advance Where
the enemy attacked the regular de-
lenses Of Saloniki-namely in the
Doiran-Giezgeli sector-they accom-
plfshed nothing. AS the attack has so
far developed it is without strategic
value and can only be assumed to be
for political purposes"

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The so- called British blacklist" of American firms was characterized by Sir Richard Crawford, commercial attache of the British embassy at Washing ton. as a white list" at a luncheon given in his honor here today by about fiftN prominent bankers and heads of industrial corporations en- gagged in export trade. He explained that the term blacklist had created a misunderstanding as to it's real objects, and told the guests what was being done by the British government to minimize the censorship of busi- ness mail.
 A committee of five is to be ap- pointed from among those who at tended the conference to take up with the embassy official individual cases in which it may be possible to effect relief. Sir Richard said the British government already had made ar engagements to facilitate dispatch of shipping documents between the United States and neutral countries.
 "A striking example of the rigor- ous application of the trading with the enemy act" the official said, Twas the case of a British house which was prosecuted for obtaining indirectly goods of enemy origin for the purpose of it's business. The president of the firm concerned was sentenced to a term of imprisonment followed by other disabilities including the stigma of want of patriotism "The penalties, material and

forth the information that Laney had a majority of 26 over Candy, genuine surprise and consternation was eX- perienced by the supporters of the county attorney, who have kept in close touch with his work since his ap- pointment as prosecutor Later when the official count was made and Laney's majority shrunk to six they insisted that Candy contest the cleo tion. He, however. refused.
 The matter will no doubt receive the immediate attention of the court in order that the nominee be given time Co carry on his campaign for the gen. eral election. Three men will be ap- pointed to inspect the ballots of the contested precincts. The court will make one appointment, Laney one and Candy tine third, and the counting will be conducted in the presence of the custodian of the ballots.

CAMP PA|GNERS
 OF DRY PARTY
 IN NEW MEXICO
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrej

ALBUQUERQUE. N. NJ, Sept. D. Wet New Mexico gave the prohibition national campaigners friendly recep- tions today when they invaded the state for two meetings after closing the Arizona campaign with speeches at Flagstaff and Winslow. An hours meeting was held at Gallup this after noon and thence the special came here for a night meeting. Raton will be wis ited tomorrow before Colorado is en- tered.
 Gallup's meeting had a picturesque setting. In the center of the ring of spectators who circled about the rear platform of the train was the town sprinkling cart. At one end of it were several Navajo Indians who are de- nied liquor by federal statute, garbed in their gay robes. At the other end was spectator who, having imbibed freely, indorsed the dry speeches with loud comment. Scattered in other parts of the ring were Mexicans, ne groes, half a hundred school children dressed in white and a small band of suffragists Thanking the rim of the circle were several saloons. Many min CTS were in the audience and J. Frank Hanly took occasion to criticize the manner in which the Adamson eight hour day bill was enacted
 The prohibition party is for the eight-hour day" he said. but it is for an eight-hour day that shall be won by the fine sense of justice in the heart ot the American people and not by a bludgeon held as threat in the city of Washington"
 Landrith aroused applause at every stop today by declaring that universa | suffrage was imminent. Women do no vote here.
 T believe a woman has as mucf sense as bar room bum or as some 1 of the colored persons who canno read nor write, whom you northerner! i gave the ballot" he said, and whel i she gets the vote, good bye booze.

PROBABLE CONTEST OF
 LANEYS NOMINATION.

That the nomination of L. M. Laney for county attorney will be contested was the rumor about town yesterday. Since the primary election friends of Clyde M. Candy have been urging him to demand a recount and when he would take no action they took the matter into their own hands Accord ing to a well known democrat who was not satisfied with the count, papers were made out yesterday and will be filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court this morning as the pre- liminary step of the contest.
 The contestants statement will be brought under Section 3065 of the Re- vised Statutes of Arizona 1913, in part: By reason of error in counting ballots the person declared to be elected or nominated did not in fact received the highest number of votes" Neither the name of the contestant nor the pre- cincts that will be named in the peti- tion for inspection could be learned.
 When the unofficial count gave
