Five Greek Villages and Towns
Have Been Captured Since
General Offensive
Began.
REPULsING THE ALLIES
Gerbians, English and French Troops
Conquered 40 Victorious Bull
sars Press Their -
Advance.

BERLIN, Aug. 22.-Bulgarian troops
have captured five Greek villages and
towns since the beginning of their
general offensive against the allied
forces in the Balkans, said an Off
cial statement from the Bulgarian
war Office today.
The Bulgarian statement discloses
that the advance was begun because
of the activities of the allies, who
apparently were preparing for an
offensive movement.
"On account of military operations
of the allies in the Vardar valley, ex-
tending east of the Struma and north
of Tachino lake, our left wing began
general offensive on August 49," it
was stated.
Bulgarian troops advanced in the
Struma valley and occupied the town
Of Demirhissar (forty-six miles north
east of Salonika and ten miles inside
the Greek frontier). After an en-
gagement near the town OF Series, we
repulsed English and French forces
on the right bank of the river Struma
J and occupied the left bank between
Butkova and the Tachino lakes. De-
tachments between the Struma and
Mesta advanced in accordance with
orders.
"In the Vardar valley, English and
French troops have attacked our ad-
vanced positions for ten days with
out success south and west of the
town of Doiran, suffering heavy losses
from our infantry and artillery fire.
"Our right wing, after victory
over the Serbians near Florina, sue
cessfully pursued our plans. Yester-
day we occupied the railway stations
of Banitza and Ekshisu on the rail
road from Salonika to Florina and re-
established railway communication
with Monastir South of Presba lake
(extreme northwestern Greece) we
occupied the villages of ZueZdabiolit-
yea and Bresnitza, thus interrupting
definitely the communications between
Goritzha and Florina as well as
Gortsha and Kosturkastoria."
Won on Both Wings.
BERLIN, Aug. 22.-Bulgarian and
German forces have defeated allied
troops on both wings in the Balkans,
capturing positions from both The
Serbians and the French, 1t was OFF,
cially announced this afternoon.
Serbian positions near Ntezeplanina
were captured and the attack was
progressing. The Serbs repeated
their fruitless attempts to re-capture
Zemaatjeri and were driven back.
suffering heavy losses. In the fighting
northeast Of Salonika, the French
forces were driven across the Struma
river between Butkova and Tahino
and the Smiznica Planina ridge cap
tured.

The Fifth Avenue lady and the La
Dor Parade Sadie are sisters not only
under their skins, but externally as
well. The Fifth Avenue lady enjoyed
her Easter prominence a little earlier,
that was all. Yesterday Sadie had her
chance at a parade and new hat, and
made fully as much of it, II not more.
Hundreds and hundreds Of women
workers marched with their brothers
toward Union Square, heads up, chests
out. red banners gaily a-dangle. Every
woman Of them wore a boutonniere,
every woman of them a smile and al
most every woman of them new clothes.
1t was the Easter parade Of the grand
sisterhood Of the home-trimmed hat.
This does not mean that the women
who marched were not as much in ear
nest as the men about shorter hours
and higher wages and all OF those
ether vital points for which many Of
them will strike to-day. From white
haired Mrs. Charles Sotheran, eighty
five years old. who marched in the first
labor May Day parade ever known to
New York and has been in each succeed
ing one, to the smallest striker Of them
all, four-year-old Lily Dimella, who
held up the whole parade for all Of
minute when she dropped her flag and
insisted on getting it back again, all
were in dead earnest. Theresa NAL
kiel, speaking against war and pre-
paredness, was desperately so, and
Mrs. Hilda Claessens held one of the
largest audiences of the afternoon mo-
tiouless during her plea for socialism.

old following as, after her long illness,
she took up the cudgels again for an

Of the artist, was busy making con-
