The entente offensive, however, is pro-
ceeding uninterruptedly on both these
fronts. The French have resumed in
fantry activity along the Somme, cap
turing trenches near Estrees and Soye-
court, south of the river. They have
also made progress north of the
Stream in the outskirts of Clery, an
important immediate objective in their
drive for Peronne.
On the western end of the line the
Bulgarians claim notable advances,
some of which are conceded. They
have pressed southwark from Florina,
occupying Kastoria and Koritsa.
The British on the Somme front
are slowly creeping nearer TO T%hiepval,
on the left flank. their latest advance
bringing them within 1000 yards OF
the place. They report a considerable
gain near Pozieres, where they a
pushed forward along a half-mile
front. Guillemont, northwest of Com
bles, is still holding out, although the
British are fast hemming it in and re-
port the Germans in the town suffer-
ing heavily from artillery fire.
Petrograd reports the situation un-
changed in Galicia, Volhynia and in
the Carpathians, but claims the gain
of further ground from the Turks in
Southern Turkish Armenia west of
Van.

Won Mackensen Is in

Athens, Aug. 22.-The occupation Of
Kastoria and Corytza by the Bulgarian
troops is confirmed. News from an Of
fetal source says that the German field
marshal, August Won Mackensen, is
with the Bulgarians.
The military movement of the entente
allies are hindered by the flight of the
civil population before the Bulgarian
advance.
Kastoria is twenty-five miles south
Of Monastir on the extreme left of the
entente front in Macedonia. 1t lies
about thirty miles southwest of Florina
and its occupation indicates that the
Bulgarians are pressing southwark
their movements on the allied left
flank. Field Marshal Won Mackensen
was reported at Kovel in July to di-
