London.-The long-expected general
offensive on the Saloniki front has
opened, and the grand assault against
the forces of the central powers now
is in progress in every theater of the
world-war. Gen. Sarrail is attacking
the Bulgar-G German forces along the
entire Greek-Serbian frontier, a dis
lance of more than $50 miles.
Reports from both Berlin and Paris
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 a
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.

have forced their way into the heart

tween Galicia and the Hungarian
plains. The Austrians admit a retire.
ment west of %Jablonitza, the gate
way to one of the most important
passes through the mountains, which
was seized by the Russians.
In this district the Austrians are
%retreating toward the C%hornahora
thians in that region. From this ridge
the ground falls rapidly toward the
plains of Hungary.
Farther to the south, on the Buko-
wilma end of the battle-line, the Rus
SLAMS have been forced back in their
advance on K%irlibaba, the mex pass
south of J%ablonitza, and about fifty
miles from that point.
Daily attacks by the British against
the German lines north of the Somme
in France are having their reward,
and London u the most not,
able gain in some days in the region
OF Guillemont. After withstanding the
German counter-attacks the troops of
Gen. Raig again assaulted the opposing
trenches and gained from 200 to coo
yards along a front of two miles.
While not as active as the British
on the Somme front the French have
made more gains in the Verdun re-
gion.
