main purpose of the present activity
OF the allied armies in the Balkans,
There is no possibility that the al

At OF the Bulgarians' defeat and the
recovery OF Serbia by tho allies

expenditure OF men and munitions
than could proatably be diverted
from the main fronts OF the European
conflict. ,Bulgaria's army Is In ex-
cellent condition; Is flushed with It's
comparatively easy conquest OF
Serbian Macedonia and has suffered
but few casualties, Fighting on the
defensive and along one front, the
Bulgars could maintain very pow

II would be contributing directly
to the strategic advantage Of the Bull

begin their Balkan offensive before
Roumania had been won from her
present neutrality. Such policy
would be duplicating the unco-

that so Immensely assisted the Ger
mans.
The allies are now trying 10 prove
to the hesitant Roumanlans that oil
is ready for an allied advance In the
Balkans whenever Roumania gives
the signal OF her own participation.
The purpose OF landing Russian and
Italian contingents at Saloniki is to
assure the Bucharest government
that the allies are united as to policy
In the Balkans. II Roumania still
hesitates, II Is possible minor opera
tions will be continued by the allies
along the Greek border. In order 10
satisfy Roumanian public opinion;
but II Bucharest positively declines
to enter the struggle, there is little
possibility OF an allied move into
Serbia at this time.

London, Aug. 24.--The ancient
city OF Series, 43 miles northeast OF
Saloniki, Is under attack by a strong
Bulgarian force, according to Athens
dispatches today. The Greek garri-
son Is cooperating with French
forces In defending the city, French
artillery is replying vigorously to q
heavy Bulgarian bombardment, while
the Greeks. under command OF Col
onel Chrlstophoulous, are throwing
up entrenchments. The Series garri-
son Is being reinforced by small
Greek detachments which retired up
on the city after spirited fighting with
Bulgarian forces.
The Bulgarian drive southwark
against Series, city OF $4,000 popu-
lation, has created new and more
critical situation ut Athens. If
Series falls. the Bulgars will have
practically cut Off all the Greek
troops operating In eastern Mace
donla, territory highly priced by the
Bulgarlans. These Greek detach-
ments, In the event Greece enters the
war, could rejoin the main Greek
army only by march along the sea
coast and across q narrow isthmus

LOCAL TRAINMEN. R. R. OFFICIALS
 CHRONIC JOINS
Both Sides to Controversy Preparing for Conflict Set
 to Begin Monday.

The threatened strike of the four | brotherhoods of operating railroad men was the cause of activity here yesterday on the part of both the ] railroad officials and Brotherhood |: Of ficers, two announcements of interest being made during the day.
 Superintendent Elmer Richards of the Cotton Belt announced that the road would operate a local freight ing the people in the smaller towns ample opportunity to supply them selves with necessities. The smaller towns ale making heavy purchases of food supplies, and the operation of the local train Sunday will give them just that much more chance to receive their supplies. Ordinarily, local freight trains do not operate On Sun day.
 The brotherhood men issued a call for the first of the series of meetings held whenever strike conditions pre- vail, the meetings to begin Saturday evening at o'clock. and extend un- til further notice, with two sessions each day. The meetings will all be held at the Knights of Pythias hall, where the trainmen hold their regular sessions.
 No bulletins bearing on the strike situation were posted at the Cotton Belt shops yesterday. None of the Of ficials of the road gave out any state ment, as to whether the shops would continue in operation or would be o1O Iur ho cfY.i1n
 The shopmen appeared to be de- voting as much of their thought and talk to their own strike vote, on wage increase and the eight-hour day, as to the more prominent question of the threatened brotherhoods' strike. Ii appears to be generally believed that if the trainmen strike, the strike will continue only a comparatively short time, where as if the shopmen go out the fight will be long-drawn Out, and will have particularly hard effect on Pine Bluff, through local shopmen and local merchants and business houses. Will Try to Run Trains. eve will do everything possible to keen trains running in the face of a strike" was a statement credited yes terday to Superintendent Richards.
 Some of the officials of the road expressing their own individual opin- ions, and without any definite know ledge of what is going on in Wash ington, except what they learn from the newspapes, believe the strike will be averted. They are making every preparation, however, to handle the situation, however it may develop. The Graphic was besieged last night with enquiries as to the situation at Washing gton, and it was apparent that not in many years has Pine Bluff been so thoroughly aroused over any sltua- tion. as it is over the railroad strike matter

 The records of the state auditor show that there is outstanding total of $41 ,649.15 in unpaid warrants. There is considerable speculation as to where they are. AS there is plen- ty of money in the treasury to tahe them up, it is considered somewhat strange that they arc not presented for payment

CALOMEL MAKES
 YOU SICK, UGH!
"D0ds0n's Liver Tone' better than
 calOmel and can not salivate

Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quick silver. Calomel IS dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calo- mel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 Waen you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents large bot tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straigh- tens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

Talk Less, Listen More.

While we are against the eternal talker and resent being placed in the roster of patient listeners, we are in no position to ignore the circum- stance that the Lord gave man two ears to listen with and only one tongue to talk with. Which means he intended people to listen twice as much as they talk. Our kick is we have to listen 40 times as much as talk, and we want to talk.-Houston Post.
