ALLIED ATTACKS ON
LINES AT SALONIKI
REPORTED REFUSED
In Eastern Theatre Russians and
Austro- Germans Continue to Fight
Many Engagements Without Def
mite Results to Either

London, October 19.-Gradually
the French are drawing their front
closer to the town of Peronne, on
the eastern bank of the somme
river in France. After wednes-
days advance along a mile front
between Biaches and LIN Maison-
nette, ON the west side of the river,
an attack launched Thursday was
rewarded with further gains, which
virtually brings them to the bank
of the stream.
To the north and east of Sally
SailIeseI, where the French have adj
vanced their line in the last few
days at what Berlin war ofice
asserts was cost in casualties
not commensurate with the gain,
4 the Germans have made violent
counter attack, which was repulsed
by the French.
Berlin admits that in their attacks on
the SENSATIONAL front the British cap
tured German positions. but says these
Thursday on the. British front and, ex-
cept for slight gain by the British at
Butte De Warlencourt and the repuise
of a German counter attack there COM
parative quiet prevails.
4 DRAWN CONTEST In EAST
LAS yet no decisive result has been
achieved by either the Austro-Germans or
the Russians in the violent fighting that
has been going on for several days in
volhyna and Galicia. The Petrograd
war office says that near Kselin and
Sviniusky, in Volhynia, violent attacks oy
the Teutonic allies were repulsed, while
Berlin recas1s the capture of Russian
trenches on the west bank of the StoS-
Nod and the repuise with heavy casual
ties of Russian attacks near Bubnow.
South of Zborow in Galicia several en-
terprizes have been carried out success
fully by the Austrians while at other
points Russian attacks were pu, Gown.
Having held the Teutonic allies in the
Rumana border for several days, the
Rumanans have taken the offensive at
various points and now are declared to
be pushing back their adversaries, who
are leaving prisoners and guns in the
hands of the Rumanians. Berlin how
ever, controverts this statement by the
passertion that the Austro-Germans are
engaged in successful fighting in the
mountain passes.
NO CHANGE IN MACEDONIA
Generally speaking there is no change
in the situation in Macedonia although
both the entente and Teutonic allies
make claim to minor attacks on various
sectors. The Bulgarians in the vicinity
of Monastir are bringing up reinforce
ments and a large number of trench
mortars.
Except on Mount Pasubio, in the Tren-
tino region, where the Austrians In vio-
lint attacks recaptured positions taken
Tuesday by the Italians. only to be driven
out again, artillery duels are taking
place in the Austro-Italian theatre.
