ARE
IN
BALKAN LANDS

Bulgarian troops in Greek Mace
donia are reported today to be retreat
ing before British forces along the
Struma river.
In support of this report, the Lon
don war Office announces the occupa-
tion of Nevolyon village, and Paris
news dispatches say the Bulgars are
returning before the British.
The Bulgarian war Office statement
issued at Sofia however, contradicts
the report, declaring that Entente at
tempts to advance in the Struma re-
gion failed and that Rumanian and
Russian attempts to push back the
Bulgar-G German line in Debrudja Likes
wise failed.
The Paris war Office reports great
German artillery activity along the
Verdun front, where another attempt
to take the fortress may be in prepa-
ration
Along the Somme front held by the
French artillery fighting continues,
newly captured positions being consol-
idated, but no further advance being at
tempted by the French.
The British statement early today
reported an advance northeast OF
Eaucourt L'Abbaye, on the Somme
front.
A catured document in possession of
the British indicates the Germans are
beginning to feel a shortage of muni-
tons, and extreme Importance is at
tached to this development, which, if
true, means that immediate substan-
tial advances will be scored by the
Entente on all fronts.
British trenche raiders are active to-
day both in the Lille and Lens regions,
where many small bands of German
prisoners have been taken.
British troops used gas during an
attack in the Loos and Amentiere dis
trict today.
The Paris war Office statement this
afternoon deals with the Balkan sit
uation, indicating that forces of the
Entente Allies have reached a point
within seven miles of Monastir, Serbia.

calls the mobilization game. After
our arrival IN the city, the boys in

HIGH SCHOOL To
OBSERVE DAY Of
SAFETY FIRST

October 9th has been set aside
throughout the United States and wiz
be observed by the Americus High
school as Fire Prevention Day" ON
which the slogan of Safety First
viii be impressed upon the students.
Superintendent J. E. Mathis an
nounces that the observance is in line
with request to Superintendent Clax-
ton, of national education, from the.
different safety organizations. 1t in
said that the losses from fire annualIy.
equal half of the salaries paid to the
teachers in all of the schools of the
United States.
Among the plans for the observance
of the day is the cooperation Of shR
city officials. The program arranged
includes an address by Mayor Pro Tenn
H. 0. Jones, also member of the fire
committee of the city council, to talk
ON Fire Prevention"
Recorder Thomas o. Marshall. or
the police department of the city. wiz
speak on Public Safety"
DR.. Douglas B. Mayes, the city ply
sician, will talk to the High schooE
students on First Aid Emergencies,
which will include advice and suggest
ions in case of fire, accidents, drown
ing, etc.
The exercises will be held in the
High school auditorium and among,
the features will be fire drill. The
morning hour for the chapel exercises
will be used for the observance of the.
day
The teachers in the Grammar
schools will talk to the children OF
their respective departments ON the
vital necessity of this movement.
Following is copy of the latter re-
ceived by Prof Mathis
October has for many years
been observed in the schools of
many cities and towns as Fire Pre-
yention Day, with programs design
ed to call the attention of children
to the Importance of protection against
fire and to give information in regard
to the need of caution against death.
and accident by fire. This year the
National Fire Protection association
and the National Safety council have
united in the request that this day be
observed in schools as Fire and
Accident Prevention Day. With this
request l am in hearty sympathy and T.
sincerely hope that in all schools a
portion of the day will be devoted to
instruction in regard to public and in
dividual safety. 1t is, l believe, un-
necessary to do more than call atten-
tion to the Importance of instruction in
these subjects.
"The annual loss by fire in the
United States is more than half the
total salaries of teachers in public and
private schools of all grades, and is a
considerable draft on the wealth Of
this country. With the increase of
complex machinery in our Industrial
plants, and the extension of rapid
transportation dangerous to life and
limb, the knowledge of safety appli-
ances and the means of precautioE
against accident becomes matter OF
vital importance. Surely the subject
deserves the attention of all who have
TO do with the training of children and
is worthy special consideration for an
our or two each school year"

And the home-toiks will please read
this carefully. in order to get up
every day the boys have to sweep the
snow from in front of their tents, and
the ice used daily comes from icicles
plucked off the sides of the tents. Oh,
yes, it's cold, all right, and quilts
would come in handsomely. OF course,
we don't need them, but our teacher

hint wouldn't hurt anything.

 So far as is known Villa has no leader of consequence with the ex- ception of Inex Salazar whom he lib- erated from the Chihuahua peniten- i.ary on his recent raid. Former Villa leaders now exiles along the American border are said to be ready to reioin him at the first sight of d decisive military success.
 Some of the reports of the alleged disaffecton within the Carranza ad ministration have gone so far as to express fears for the safety of the first chief himself and intimate his removal from Mexico City to Quereta- -c was under circumstances con- trolled by General Obregon. Car ranza representatives here, however, brand that as absurd. Out of the mass of reports which must be judged by what five years of revolution in Mexico have shown American officials of the internal workings of political affairs south of the Rio Grande. there Is much which openly is admitted ,o he disquieting.
 Tn military circles here it Is believed that the presence of General Persia ing's forces in Mexico has served to keep this new outbreak from the bor der, and confidence is expressed that the bandit leader will not risk opera tions in Q region where they might encounter an American force. Some state department officials are under stood to share this view. They be- lieHe that in effect the present situ- 1 ation is similar to- that which existed after the raid on Columbus.
