Bulgarian Forces Are
Within Seven Miles of
Great Greek Seaport

Athens, Aug. 20.-The Bulgarian
forces moving toward Kavala have
already pushed their outposts to a
point seven miles from that Greek
seaport. The Greek Government has
ordered three divisions of the Greek
army still remaining in the vicinity
of Drama and Series to retire before
the Bulgarian advance, which was ex-
planned TO the Associated Press cor
respondent by a military authority
to the Entente Allies as follows:
The Serbians had not finished the
concentration of three positions in the
tors, and therefore the Bulgarians
found it easy enough to force a GER
tain retirment, but it is difficult to
see where they expect to get by an
advance at this part of the line. East
of the Struma the Demir-Hissar inc
~Sarichaban sectors were not held by
the Entente forces and offered no
impeachment to the advances. Where
the enemy attacked the regular de-
lenses of Saloniki, namely in the
Dorian Gievgeli sector, they accom-
plished nothing. AS the attack has
so far developed it is without strategic
value and can only be assumed to be
for political purposes"
Bulgarian air raids on Kilkich and
Yannimsa killed a number of Greeks.
The Bulgarian and German minis
tiers have repeated previous assur-
ances that the integrity of Greece will
be respected. The French and British
ministers this morning asked Premier
Zaimis what measures Greece pro-
poses taking to control the civil popu-
lation in the attacked districts who
are fleeing in all directions.

this afternoon for another conference.
1t had been expected there would be
no further move until tomorrow but
when the western men began arriving
to-day the railroad managers can
vassed the situation and found that all
the executives who could reach the cap
ital within a reasonable time already
had arrived. They so advised the
White House and the President in
vited to conference at $3.50 o'clock.
The railways heads spent several
hours to-day trying to devise some
form of settlement of the threatened
strike which would still preserve the
principle of arbitration and be one
which President Wilson could prevail
upon the men to accept.
One of the suggestions the railroad
presidents were prepared to make at
the White House was for legislation
to create d board of commissioners to
investigate when trouble threatens be-
tween railroad employers and en-
ployes.
Congress Would Create Board
Under such a plan the board would
be created by act of Congress and
would probably be empowered to eX-
anime witnesses to determine the
merits of any. controversy. Pending
its investigation the employees would
not be permitted to strike or to take
a strike vote. After the board had
reached its conclusions from hat fact
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-08-21

a public report would be made and
there would be opportunity for arbi-
tration but it would not be compul-
sorry. If arbitration were refused, the
board would send to each official a
statement of the railroads position in
the matter and the employees position
and the boards findings. These state
ments would be before every en-
ploye when he came to vote on a
strike and opportunity would be given
for a secret ballot. The men would
vote directly on the question of q
strike. Under the present system, the
balloting is not secret and the men
vote to delegate the power of declar-
ing a strike to brotherhood officers.
1t was understood that the railroad
executives were not yet ready to pre-
sent their final nswer to-day to the
President on his plan. The conference
this afternoon was arranged to allow
the officials who arrived here to-day
to get the Presidents viewpoint first
hand.
AS the railroad presidents entered
the White House, Hale Holden, their
spokesman, said the executives already
here had sought to maintain open
minds on the entire question, but that
after President Wilson had explained
his plan thoroughly to the new ar
rivals, consideration of all questions
involved would be begun with the OBJ
ject of reaching a final decision.

al Manufacturers Association, in re-
Spouse to a Geographic appeal from
the latter that the principle of arbitra.
ton be preserved in the strike nego.
tiations. The road officials have con
tended that the principle of arbitration
would be endangered by his plan OF
settlement. The President. however,
declares that his plan strengthed
rather than weakened it.
kilograms Urge Arbitration
President Wilson had before him
to-day numerous kilograms from bust
ness me- and trade bodies urging thai
he insist on arbitration. 1t was off
cially said. however. that the appeals
would be without effect on him since
he had failed in his effort to bring
about arbitration and had no way OF
forcing it.
The western railway presidents
summoned Saturday began to arrive
this morning. Louis w. Hill, of the
Great Northern, principal heir TO the
vast properties of the late James ].
Hill, and E. P. Ripley. the veteran
president of the Santa Fe, were among
the first. Neither had any statement
to make.
The incoming executives conferred
with those already here and with the
managers committee to familiarize
themselves with the negotiations SO
far. All the western presidents are
expected before o-morrow noon. BY
that time it is expected about 100 rail-
way heads, representing properties
valued at about $40, 900, 600, 600, will
be assembled for the next conference
with the President.
Presidents More Optimistic
The brotherhood representatives
held a brief meeting in their hall to-
day, but transacted no business. A
in the situation were read n ad-
journment was taken until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
The mems meeting decided tha'
brotherhood members should call or
senator's and representatives from
their own states and acquaint then
with the details of the mems side o
the situation. President Carter, O
the engineers, IA the only officia
who attended the session.
Some of the incoming railway presi
dents were more optimistic about tn,
situation than those already here. Ont
of the western men declared that /
his road alone were involved he un
q~uestionably would resist the demand
of the men to the last, but he consid
cred the question a national one, anC
for that reason was sure some com
mon ground would be found on which
to base a settlement.
President Wilson's suggestion in hi
telegram to Colonel Pope that som
means be found for preventing a re
currence of the present situation anC
his advocacy OF the principle of arbi
tration caused speculation over wha'
should be done. The President tolC
the railroad executives Saturday HI
did not believe Congress would pas
a compulsory arbitration Law. Laboi
organizations nave consistently op.
posed that. Administration officials
said to-day the President was care,
fully studying the entire question with
the idea of making some recommen.
dation to Congress, probably in hi!
next message in December.

presidents to the White House agar

Greek Forts Are Seized
as BulgGrians MoUe
in Direction of KaUaI0

London, Aug. 21.-Bulgarian troops
are advancing toward the Greek sea-
port of Kavala. They have seized two
Greek forts. At several points along
the front new engagements have been
fought.
Berlin reports hat Biklista, south
of Presba Lake, and Bancia, have
been taken. while north of Ostrova
Lake the Serbian Drina division has
been thrown from the dominating
heights of Dmiemaat Jeri and Metric
Tepsi. Counter attacks, it is declared,
have been repulsed.
On the Saloniki front, however, the
British troops have advanced their
lines and repulsed Bulgarian counter
attacks.
Fighting Still Intense
Reports from Saloniki show that
the general engagement which began
Friday is continuing with intensity
over an extended front from Florina,
near Monastir to the river Struma.
This represents an irregular line
nearly $50 miles long.
General Sarraill is directing the
united operations of the Allis, with
General Cordonnier commanding the
French. The operations have been
long expected as a part of the Allies
co-ordinated offensive on all fronts.
They follow the arrival of General
Cordonnier after extended conferences
with officials in Paris.
Advices received in Paris indicate
that the Germans and Bulgarians are

ROTARIANS HEAR
OF BOY SCOUTS
Lewis Buddy, Field Commits
sioner, Addresses MONDAY
Luncheon

The city's greatest asset is the
boy; the boy Is worth protecting more
than anything else in the world, be.
cause in this way you get at the
whole social system" was one of the
statements made at h Rotary
luncheon at the Columbus Hotel at
noon to-day by Lewis Buddy, field
commissioner of the Boy Scouts of
America. Mr.. Buddy is here for the
purpose of stimulating interest in the
Scout movement with the ultimate
purpose of organizing Harrisburg to
the maximum Scout capacity and of
establishing permanently in this city
a Scout executive.
President Fry introduced the speaker
and drew the analogy between Ro-
tary and Scouting in the sense that
service is the watchword of both or
carnations. Mr.. Buddy continued
along the same lines with the remark
that he would rather be a Rotarian
and a Scout than anything else in the
world. A city is no greater thar
the standard of it's citizenship. and n
citizen is no greater than the amount
of personal service that he gives the
city," he added. and the Boy Scouts
are being trained in the adolescent
period in a way that will develop them
into the best sort of citizens when they
grow up"
\ Scout is a Regular Fellow
The speaker told some entertaining
incidents characteristic of the Scouts.
HON he termed regular fellows with
plenty of sand" The do rather than
the don't spirit is EMPHASIZED in the
dealings of the scoutmasters with the
boys. And one of the features of the
organization is its nonsectarian ma
ture, which, Mr.. Buddy says, is one of
the greatest things about it. 1t is,
moreover, absolutely nonmilitary, for
the reason hat the leaders do not
think it wise to instill militaristic ideas
INTO the scouts heads at an early age
and the scout gets the same discipline
as the soldier, with the difference that
the scout drills without arms. The
study n history of the flag is one OF
the important parts of the boys work.
Each scout must take the oath to
do a good turn" every day. and 4
good turf is more than an ordinary
courtesy. 1t implies a sacrifice that
is real. Many scouts have adopted
the method of tying a knot in their
neckties in the morning and not I'M
doing the knot until they have per-
formed their good turn" for that
day. These and many other side
lights on the scouts habits and Gus
toms were told by the speaker.
