The Greek division $4,000 men,
that despite the order of the genera

Bulgar advance on Seres and Kavals
is being rapidly reinforced by volun
teers.
From all parts of Greece officers ant
men are Fastening to Salonika to Jolr
the entente forces. A detachment OF
Albanians has also arrived at Salonika
In view of the intensity of feeling
over the Bulgarian advance, mas:
meeting planned for Sunday in cele
bration of the anniversary of the reyo
lution of 1909 is regarded with appre
hension at Athens.
The drive of the Bulgarian arm!
against the allied right flank apparent

the entente forces and greater losses
to them than had previously been indi
Gated This is assumed from the of
fetal report received from Sofia.
A severe defeat was administered tt
General Sarrairs troops along the
Struma river, northeast Of Salonika, or
August 21, the statement declares, thu
entente forces taking flight, leaving
the field covered with dead and aban

guns.
The Bulgarian forces have now en-
trenched themselves on the east banl
of the Struma and along the highwa!

side it is announced that the Serbian:
have successfully taken the offensive
along the western end of the line, cap
turing a height near Lake Ostosvo
while Berlin declares the Bulgarian!
are the aggressors in the fighting IL
this region. Apparently no importan
movement is as yet in progress in thu
center where the main thrust of th'
entente Is expected.
Paris also claims successes on thu
Struma, asserting that the Bulgarian:
have been forced to withdraw from
the left bank in various places.
The Sofia statement says:
"a squad Of hostile cavalry was lur
ed by a maneuver of our cavalry int
the range of our infantry fire and lit

WHY PENNSY IS
SEEKING HELP
To Establish Employment
Clearing House, Agents
Receive Applications

Under q. new plan for handling ap-
blications for work, which is new being
put into effect by the Pennsylvania
railroad, everyone of the 1900 station
agents on the lines east of Pittsburgh
and Erie Will become an employment
agent. m connection with this
change, what will virtually be an en-
ployment clearing house is TO be es-
tablished in the general manager 8
department at Broad street station,
Philadelphia, This is the latest ex-
planation of the recent system wide
advertisements.
From Philadelphia comes informa-
ton that the purpose of the new plan
Is to encourage the entrance into the
service of the PENNSYLVANIA railroad of
n greater number of men who live in
the neighborheod of its lines and
shops, 1t has always been the policy
of the Pennsylvania railroad, as far as
possible, to offer the first opportuni-
ties for work to people who are Its
neighbors, 1t is the belief of the man.
agement that a number of men In the
country districts, as well as In the
towns, villages and cities through
which Its lines pass, would welcome
the chance to make railroading their
career, but In many cases do rot know
were to apply, The new employment
arrangements will make 1t easy for
anyone to make an application and
open and In what localities work for
which he Is fitted may be obtained,
Clearing House Plan
Notices posted conspicuously at
various points along the railroad, di-
rects all persons seeking employment
to apply to the Station agent or super
fntendent. The agent will interview
each applicant, learn his capabilities
as fully as possible and direct him to
the nearest shop foreman, supervisor,
trainmaster or road foreman of en-
gtnes, who may have vacancies at their
disposal. II there are no vacancies on
the division where the application is
made, 1t will be forwarded to the office
of the general manager III Broad street
station where 1t will be handled
through tho clearing house plan which
is to be established
Under the clearing house plan, each
general superintendent will forward,
once a week, to the general manager q
list showing the number of vacancies
on his grand division for shop labor
ers, car repairmen. car cleaners, en-
gine cleaners, brakemen, gremen,
freight hanrlers trackmen, etc. BY
this means every applicant for work
can be promptly directed to the near
est point where labor is needed, in case
no opportunity exists near his home.
This arrangement, it is thought, will
greatly aid in equaliZing the distribu-
ton of labor and the opportunities for
work in the railroad service.
