London, Sept 11.-British troops on
the front in Greek Macedonia, took
the offensive last night. They crossed
the Struma river and attacked the
Bulgarians, who resisted desperately,
it is officially announced
Paris says that the Germans last
night attacked the positions newly
won on the Somme front, five times.
but that they were repulsed each time
with heavy losses.
The present British thrust may mean
the beginning Of an important offens-
i've with the object of placing the Bull
garians between two fires. An effort
to encompass Bulgaria is proceeding
on toward the north, and with the re-
ported arrival of Russian troops in
strong force to take the offensive
against the Bulgars who have the Ru-
manian province of Bobrudja, this plan
lis being carried out.
In their attacks on the French to
the south Of the Somme, from Barny
to below Chaulnes, the Germans used
flaming liquid. They suffered heavily
in these fruitless attempts, Paris de-
clares.
The British were attacked at Gin
chy, which they recently captured, but
the German advances were beaten off.
Athens dispatches say that the
Greek capital is virtually under mar
tial law Soldiers are parading the
streets and the Entente legations are
under strong guard. Excitement
caused by the army distractions at
Salonild, however, are dying out.

"a governor, two United States SEN
ators and four representatives in Con

The national issues have been

were brought into the state, including
former Justice Hughes, former Vice
President Fairbanks, and members of
President Wilson's cabinet, to per-
suade the voters to line up with or
against the national executive and a
majority in Congress.
A big vote is predicted in the cleo
tion. After Sunday of comparative
rest and review, and during which
the heat of battle cooled somewhat

The fight for United States senators
is especially important, as upon the
outcome may depend the control o

Republicans must win nine seats nov
