SALONIKI.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Paris, Aug. 23.-The allies have
captured a series of heights west of
the Vardar river on the Saloniki
front, says a war office statement.
On both wings advance detachments
have fallen back before the counter
offensive of the Bulgarians. The
armies of at least seven nations are
engaged. The text of the statement
follows:
"The battle continued on Aug. 81
on the whole front of the allied
armies ON the Saloniki line. In the
center the British-French forces
have violently bombarded Bulgarian
positions on both sides of Lake
Doiran, while our infantry established
itself in the southern spurs of the
Beles mountains.
West of the Vardar our troops
have occupied line of heights near
Ljumnica and have maintained their
positions at all points in spite of vio-
lent counter-attacks by the enemy.
The army has continued its progress
in the mountainous zones between the
Cerna and Moglenica rivers"
A British official announcement
says 1t is believed that a German
battleship of the Nassau class has
been sunk by British submarine E-23.
King Victor Emmanuel entered

bulgarian frontier At the same time
the Serbians, who have opened n
drive for Monastir, report the capture
of Bulgarian first-line trenches. On

London.-The long-expected general
offensive on the Saloniki front has
opened, and the grand assault against
the forces of the central powers now
is in progress in every theater of the
world-war. Gen. Sarrail is attacking
the Bulgar-German forces along the
entire Greek-Serbian frontier, a dis
tance of more than $50 miles.
Reports from both Berlin and Paris
indicate that the entente allies are
following the same tactics in the Balk-
ans that signalized the opening of the
great offensive on the Somme. Small
bodies Of troops are attacking at nu-
merous points along the Bulgarian
line, apparently with the intention Of
feeling out their opponents positions
before the real battle opens.
While not as active as the British
on the Somme front the French have
made more gains in the Verdun re-
gion.

Ding! Ding!
Bang! Bang!
Ouch!Ouch!

So successful was the first efficiency
test of ]. L. Townsend's electric chick
en- thief detector. early Sunday morn
ing, that long suffering chicken rails
ers in Spring Grove were enthusiastic
cally predicting today that no longer
would Spring Grove be the happy
hunting grounds of hen house prowl-
ers.
incidentally those residents of the
suburb who were at Grst inclined to
scoff at Townsend's chicken thief de-
tector were today requesting him to
install his device in their several
chicken houses.
Recently Townsend completely wired
his chicken house SO that in the event
a night prowler opened the door an
inch or even placed his hands on a
window large gong in the Townsend
home located at the side of Mr.. Town
sends bed would instantaneously be-
gin operations.
Shortly after midnight Sunday
Townsend was aroused from his slunl-
bers by the gong. Selling his shot
gun and calling to his dog, Townsend
departed post haste for the hen house.
AS he ran out of the kitchen door he
saw a man carrying large sack de-
parting from the hen house at great
speed. Townsend fired and the echo
was an agonized howl from the de-
parting stranger. The thief ran so
fast that even the dog could not get
to him before he vaulted fence and
disappeared.
After / shot the man dropped the
bag. There were two hens in it, one
dead. had killed it with shot SO l
am sure some of the shot got into the
thiefs side," Townsend reported at
police headquarters today. II didn't
mind killing the hen because my wife
had instructed me to execute one for
Sunday dinner"
A recent raid on a hen house in
Spring Grove netted the thief sixty
four chickens.

MAY FORM STATE
OUT OF LITHuAN|A

PARIS, Nov. 20-Germany is about
to follow up her declaration of Polish
independence with similar announce
ment regarding Lithuania, according
to dispatches from Switzerland to the
morning newspapers.
The dispatches say that the new
state will probably receive Prince
Eitel friedrich, second son of the en-
peror as it's sovereign and will form a
state OF the German empire with a
similar status to that Of Bavaria or
Saxony. AS in the case of Poland,
the dispatches add, the first step in
the creation Of the new state will be
the formation of Lthunian army to
fight under Field Marshal Won linden
burg. 1t is estimated that Lithunia
could raise 10000 men.
