THREE NATIONS
CLAIM VICTORY
On THEIR FRONT

Mystery still surrounds the num-
Ders and movements of Eumanian
troops that recently crossed into Bul-
garla near Rahove in an effort to ont
Hank the Bulgarian left and compel a
retreat there. Sofia mentioned these
forces several days ago as Consider
able units" but recorded no meeting
with opposing forces Later the Sofia
war office supplemented Berlin,s as
sertion that the pontoon bridge behind
the Rumanians had been destroyed by
the statement that the bridge was nut
out OF commission at the 'Dabrudia
side" by Austrian monitors. What the
humanlans are doing to keep up the
line of communications with this force
Il creating much speculations TODAY.
While the Bulgarians, apparently. are
either engaged in frustrating another
Rumanian attempt to cross the Dam
ube, or have tried a crossing on their
own account. This latter opinion is
given some weight by the report sent
out from Sofia that Bulgarian troops
have occupied Makalafat, opposite vi
dan and that Rumanian forces on the
Danube there had been dispersed by
artillery fire. The Sofia reports indi-
cate today at least momentary lessen
Ing of the Entente pressnre on the
Macedonian front.
The Russians who crossed 8lle Dan
uhe, invading Bulgaria between Rust
chuk and Turtukai have been hastily
Withdrawn as the result Of an encir-
cling movement by the Germanic allies.
according to Berlin news dispatches to,
cay The Berlin war office announces
the repulse of heavy Russian attacks
against the Turko-German lines in the
East.

TECH GAMES ARE DECIDED on

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 4.-Thc two
major officials for the Tech-Georgia
games have been decided upon, the
referee being Nichols, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, and McGoffin, of Chi
cago, for umpire.
These are the same two men that Of
ficiated in the game last season. The
work of Nichols was spectacular and
was as much of feature as the game
itself. He was on the spot every time
that the ball was down; he handled
the game with the precision of vet

ment about his decisions. Despite
the rain, he ran the game off in good

Letter of Council.

The letter OF Mr.. Council is:
Are we to give up our Y. NJ. C. A
and let our people and city lose this
valuableasset? Your executive COM
mittee in charge of this property, has
recently engaged the services of Mr.. C.
G. Bell, who has been connected with
our state Y. M. C. A. work, and it is
our purpose to put our local Y. M. c. A.
on the same footing as Y. M. G. A S
now being enjoyed by Atlanta, Macon
and Athens, Ca, and in order to do
this we must have at least $50 annual
paying members-100 of whom should
be adults at an annual fee of $1,000
each, and at least so junior members
under 16 years of age, at an annual
fee of $500 each.
This is your work, and is for the
benefit of our entire city and people,
and especially our young men and
boys. We only have few days longer
if we are to secure the required num-
ber of members, and therefore l am en-
closing herewith in behalf of your ex-
ecutive committee a blank application,
" Which we desire you to fill in, and re-
turn either to me or to Mr.. Bell at the
y. M. c. A. at once. Shall we count
on you? We must have the required
number of members in the next few
days or your Y. NJ. C. A. will be closeo
for good, and this, as we see it, would
be most serious loss to our young
generation, and the enormous amount
Of money contributed by our people
for the purchase of this valuable lot
and construction of this magnificent
building.
"The proposition is now squarely up
to you, and your answer will be for or
against a first class Y. Nj. c. A. for our
city and it's people. Very truly yours,
