Grecian Troops Retire From
Strategic Point.

LONDON. Aug. N-Greek troops
around the ancient city OF Sores. forty
five miles north Of Saloniki are evacuat-
ing their positions and retiring south
ward. under orders from the Greek gov
eminent. said an Athens dispatch this
afternoon.
The retirement was ordered after Greek
positions had been heavily bombardcd
by a strong Bulgarian force for several
hours.
French artillery is replying vigorously
to heavy Bulgarian bombardment.
On practically every other sector of
the Balkan front the Bulgarian offensive
has been brought to a standstill. The
Serbs have yielded but little ground on
the left wing since their first retirement.
Anglo French forces are consolidating
and improving their positions In the
Dorian region on the center.
The Bulgarian drive southwark against
Sores, a city Of 5000 Inhabitants. has
created a new and more critical situa-
ton at Athens. II Sores falls, the Bull
Ears will have practically cut of all the
Greek troops operating in eastern Mace
donna, q territory highly prixed by the
Bulgarians.
The Greek commander in the Sores re-
gion. who prepared for a determined re-
distance as the Bulgarians approached
the city. was apparently overruled by his
suporiors at the capital.

NEW FORD SHOWN
WITHIN THE WEEK
Several Radical Changes Noted
In Familiar Lines Of the
Car.

New model Ford cars will be shown
to the public within the next week.
Several radical changes in familiar
Ford lines are made in the new car.
Engine and chassis are the same as on
cars In service today.
The engine body or hood IL much
larger than In the old models. It Ia
sufficiently high to give a full stream
line effect and Is full rounded In con-
trast to the old angular bonnet that
did more than any other single feature
to distinguish the Ford.
Enhancement Of the hood makes a
capacity. Otherwise the mechanical
properties OF the car are unchanged.
One other striking change Is made In
body design. The tenders are full
rounded and Of the crown type in con;
tenders. Front tenders come up In
high and graceful lines and curve down
In front instead Of projecting straight
out at the highest point.
Wheels and tire sizes are the same.
Nickel is used instead OF brass, how
ever. in hub caps and In other minor
trimmings.
Electric headlights and oil running
and tail lights are apparently the same
In the new model.
New prices announced by the Ford
company August l apply on all Of the
new models.
The new design gives the Ford a
sweeping stream-line effect with curved
crown tenders front and rear. The dis
tinctive radiator cap and other familiar
Ford lines are the same. Under the All
gust price list touring cars will be $,so
roadsters $345, coupelet 1905. town car
