RUSSIANS TROOPS ON
 MACEDONIAN FRONT
CAPTURE OF HILL WEST OF FLoRINA, WHICH HAD BEEN
 STRONGLY FORTIFIED. .-

Paris.-Ru5sian troops on the west ern end of the Macedonian front took the offensive The war office announc- ed that they had captured Hill 916, west of Florina, which had been for tified strongly by the Bulgarians. A Bulgarian counter attack was check ed by French and Russian artillery and bayonets.
 French artillery fire caused an out break of flames in Deiran, and French troops made progress on their left wing. On the Broda River Servian troops reached the frontier and French infantry made a slight ad- vance to the north of Florida.
 The announcement concerning the Macedonian front reads as follows:
 "On the left bank of the River Struma British troops, continuing their raids, were successful in an at tack upon Jammah, to the north of Lake Tahinos. A detachment of French troops operating on the right of the British took a trench at the point of the bayonet and made some l prisoners.
 From Dolran to the Vardar our ar tillery has displayed great activity. An energetic bombardment of Dolran resulted in causing a fire in the town.
 "On ou rleft wing progress Was continued along the entire line. In the region of the Brodna river Ser vian troops have reached the from tier To the north of Krusograd and to the northeast of Florian French infantrymen have occu@ed the first house of Petorak, as a result of a spirited fight, and they also have made slight advance to the north of Florina.
 To the west of this town Russian troops captured by assault Hill 916, which had been strongly organized by the enemy. In this same locality a Bulgarian counter attack was check ed by the fire of our artillery, and then repulsed at the point of the bay. onet by French and Russian troops acting together.
 To the southwest of Florina a French reconnoitering detachment has had several spirited engagements in the country south of Preeba Lake with Bulgarian attachments from Biklista."

CTS Union and the State Federation of Labor joined Mir Warnock in an effort to get the bill before the people at the general election but their ef- forts were again defeated. It was introduced in the last state Senate by Senator Geo. F. Jones but failed to reach a vote. MT.

THiEPVAL, AN IMPORTANT TOWN ON SOMME FRONT, WON
 FROM GERMANS.
MANY PRISONERS CAPTURED
Gap Between Morva and Fregicourt a Mile and Half Wide Swept by Combined Fire of French
 and British Guns.

London.-In addition to the capture of Combles, the official communica- ton issued reports the occupation by the British of the important town of Thiepval, on the northwestern end of the Somme front, the high ridge to the east of it, and a strongly fortified redoubt.
 Combles, town of some 2,000 pop ulation, has been rendered of small strategic importance to the allies by their long continued encircling move ment. It has been of notable value to the Germans, however, because as long as they chung to it. the Franco British freedom of action in pushing their offensive movement toward Ba- paume and Peronne on either side of it was hampered. Turned into a strongly fortified position by German defensive ingenuity, it has persistent ly held fast like rock in the course of turbulent stream that has had to be blasted loose before the channel was fully opened up.
 This process has only been accom- plished by long continued, severe and costly effort on the part of the allies.
 Driving in from the south, the French successively swept by Harde- court, Maurepas, Le Forest, and final l ly# reached Fregicourt, a mile east of Combies. More slowly, but none the less surely, the British have pushed their advance on the north of the Ger man salient. Their struggles to reach and hold Ginchy and Guillemont were expensive in time and men, but final ly the ground north of Combles and some distance to the east was occu- pied, putting the town in a pocket of which the opening was constantly be- ing narrowed by the drives of the en- tente armies. The combined effort of the French and British to close the opening, or at least render it so nar- now that what could be extracted through it by the Germans would not be worth while. Only two roads re- mained over which the Germans could move their men and guns. The single track railroad running through the place had long since been render ed useless.
 Striking from the south, the French pushed their line to Fregicourt, sever ing communication with Combles over the southerly road-that stretch ing towards Sally. The gap between Morval and Fregicourt, a mile and a half in width and reaching back to- ward Combles, was swept from either direction by the combined fire of French and British guns.
 It is not thought probable that any considerable force of Germans re- mained in Combles. During the day when it was becoming evident that the allied forces were achieving their object of closing in east of the town, the Germans are reported to have be gun withdrawing guns from it.

 PETITIONS.
CLAIMS SIGNATURES ILLEGAL
Court Held 1t is Crime For Any Person Not Qualified Elector to Sign Such Petition-Grand
 Jury is Instructed.
Little Rock

ANC~-Ar
 The enforcement of the prohibition laws and an investigation of the sig natures on the petition for the local option act were the principal points touched upon by Judge R. J. Lea ill his instructions to the Grand Jury at the opening of First Division Circuit Court Judge Lea said it is no vio- lation of the law to give a person a drink. The provision in the prohiDI- tion act prohibiting the giving away of intoxicants, he said, means the giving away" as a subterfuge, with the view of making profit.
 Judge Lea also called the jury's attention to the petition for the inl- tiation of an act for the repeal of the prohibition law. He said it had been charged that some of the signatures were illegal. He said it is a crime for any person not a qualified elector to sign such petition He said that no matter what the jurors view on the prohibition or any other question in which the law is violated it is his uuey to Noeo to iStuih e FSi otS1 oh guilty if the evidence justifies.
 Judge Lea read letter from George Thornburgh, president of the Anti Saloon League. requesting him to ex- cuse any juror who is opposed to in fiicting sentence in the penitentiary for violation of the prohibition law. Judge Lea said that he would willing ly do this, and asked if any of the jurors desired to be excused. None made such reques..

London.-Athens is filled with ru- mors that 300 men of the crew of the cruiser Averoff have mutinied, ac- cording to a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company. The report says that the remainder of the crew and attachments of marines were sent away in boats. Other ships of the fleet are said to have quelled the mutlny.
 The Averoff is an armored cruiser built in March, 1910. She carries a crew of $50 men.
 Former Premier Venizelos of Greece, in an interview cabled from Athens to the Petit Journal, declares tkat the Greeks must defend their national interests regardless of the government M. Venizelos is quoted as saying:
 Although Roumania entered the struggle, the court party which gov erns us seems to persist in the poli- cy of what it c.lls neutrality. This policy is persisted in even after the shameful Kavala incident. You ask me what the future will bring. am not in the position to answer, but certainly something must be at tempted if Greece does not wish to die
 What was done at Saloniki, though improvised and precipitate, and recent manifestations in the ls- lands of the archipelago, show that everyone realizes that if the govern ment has forgotten US duty toward the natlcn the nation must itself i'm mediately take in hand the defense of it's own interests"
