Fierce Fighting Continues on the
Eastern Front, Where Russians
Menace KoveI, the Situation on
West Front Being Unchanged.

London.-The great offensive op
ened by the allies Sunday on the Sa
loniki front is developing, but no de
cisive action has been fought. The
British and French advancing on the
right have crossed the Struma, push
ing northeastward towards the Bulgar
ian frontier.
At the same time the Serbians. who
have opened a drive for Monastir, re-
port the capture of Bulgarian first
line trenches. On the extreme left,
however, Immediately south of Mon
astir, they have suffered a reverse and
have evacuated the Greek town of
Banica.
Fierce fighting continues in the re-
gion of the Stokhod, on the eastern
front, where the Russian advance
menaces Kovel and the German sail
ent at Pinsk. The battle on the crest
OF the Carpathians also RACES, both
sides claiming minor successes.
On the western front there has been
no material change in the situation
since the allies started their great at
tack Friday. German counterattacks
made at several points along the Brit
ish lines, according to London, met
with no success. The Germans also
have made a powerful effort to recap
ture Fleury, in the Verdun sector, but
Paris reports complete repulse.
The repeated unofficial reports that
Portugal was about to take an active
share on the European battlefield ap-
parently are confirmed by an an
nouncement from Paris that British
French military commission has been
sent to Lisbon. Dispatches from Por-
tugal have described military prepare
tons of very extensive character,
but there has been nothing to indicate
the number of men under arms.
British forces in German East AT

TROOPS TO STAY ON BORDER.
Guardsmen Will Not be Sent Back
Home at Present

Washington-The national guard
will be retained on the Mexican Dor
der until it can be withdrawn with
out again endangering American lives
and property.
Secretary Baker so declared the ad-
ministration's policy on Monday in
answering a score of letters from
many part sof the country complain
ing that the state troops were being
held in service after the emergency
for which they were called out appar-
emily has passed.
In general, the complainants, whose
names were withheld, alleged that
border service was entailing loss
financially on militiamen and hardship
on their families. The secretary re-
piled to all those seeming to merit
attention. BY its presence on the
border, he wrote TO one, the guard
is winning bloodless victories daily"
He declared that Americans resident
along the international line were en-
joying a peace and security they
could not continue to have without
the military forces to protect them.

Painted in seventy-Two Hours.

There is picture in this years show
at the Royal academy which has a
singular history. 1t was painted by
an artist who is now a captain on &C
tive service, but the picture is not the
one which he showed to his friends
at this years contribution. The original
was of a sunset over plowed field,
fine landscape in style which has dis
tinguished the artist. Five months ago.
the painter was home on leave, and he
spent 1t working over his picture. To-
day the canvas shows the plowed field
and the sunset; but it also shows six
soldiers fallen about a cannon, into
the breech of which one survivor is
placing the last shell. 1t is fine pic
ture, and by no means pot-boiler.
The captain witnessed the incident he
depicts. The fortunate thing was that
the landscape was ready for the figures
for no academy picture could be-
painted during 72 hours leave.
