Rail Chefs to Consider Plan.

AS the railroad presidents entered
the White House, Hale Holden, their
spokesman, said the executives al
ready here had sought 10 maintain
open minds on the entire question, but
that after President Wilson had ex-
planned his plan thoroughly to the
new arrivals consideration of all ques-
lions involved would be begun with
the object of reaching final de
cision.
Leaders Of the railroad executives
declared they were united against the
presidents plan as ii stands and hoped
Ia agree on some form of counter
proposal.
The railroad presidents were conSid-
oring under what circumstances they
could find way to accept the eight
hour day basis and still conserve the
principle Of arbitration which has be-
come the CruX Of the whole fight.
Western railroad presidents arriving
seemed confident that way would
be found to avert the strike.

mating Spesda-ItaIian Troops
Land at Saloniki to Aid
British and French.

London, Aug. 22.-AccOrding to dis
patches from Berlin the great often
sive of the entente allies from Saloniki
has been forestalled by the Bulgarlans
who have struck the Anglo-French
forces a heavy blow which was unex-
pected. The Bulgarians have advanced
at various points from 6 to 20 miles.
The Bulgars have been preparing
for this offensive for some time, large
quantities of ammunition having been
received from German munition fac
tories.
Italians Reach SaIoniki.
italian troops began to disembark
at Saloniki, says Havas dispatch
from that point, and Immediately
passed through Saloniki to the entente
line of operations.
Active participation by Italian
troops in the Saloniki campaign would
mean the existence of state of war
between Germany and Italy, it is said
here. Germany is directing the opera
tons against the allies on this front
and as the official German reports
show, the kaiser has forces there.
Some Austrian troops also probably
are employed, and possibly Turks, but
the major portion of the army is made
up of Bulgarians.
Dispatches from Saloniki say a Bull
garian army of great proportions, said
to be well supplied with heavy artil-
lery and REINFORCED by German, Aus
trian and Turkish troops, is sweeping
across the Greek frontier on the whole
eastern Macedonia front.
On the extreme eastern wing the in
vaders are only six miles from the i'm
portant Greek port of Kavala, marking
an advance of II miles since Sunday,
when they crossed the frontier at Sar-
ishaban.
Capture Greek Forts.
Besides the rapid advance toward
Kavala, the Bulgars have reached Or
mamie. Several Greek forts on the
important heights dominating Sores
have fallen under the inceSsant Bull
garian artillery bombardment, which
has ragged for several days. followed
by heavy infantry assaults Sunday.
Allied Drive Checked
The French headquarters reported
that in the Dorian district almost di-
rectly north of Saloniki, the British
had advanced more than n mile on n
front of almost three miles and that
the French troops also We're winning
successes, having captured after fierce
resistance, Feracheval work, to the
north of DorZelli.
Yesterdays communique, however,
states only that violent artillery duels
arc raging on this front.
On the allies left wing an important
engagement has been begun.
euIgars Occupy Heights.
Unofficial reports state that the
western Bulgar forces advancing from
Flcrina have occupied tie heights
dominating Spesda. only a short dis
lance from Koritsa, the French and
Serbian troops in that region having
retired.
Dispatches from Athens say Bulga-
rian forces moving toward kavala
have already pushed their outposts to
Il point seven miles from that Greek
seaport.

program was rendered and nice lunch
con served and good social time was
had by all present. Mr.. Fitzgerald
assured us the road would be built but
before that is done they will still have
to raise $4,000 and the harbor i'm
proved and the channel deepene& to
about 35 feet on the bar and this will
require the bonding of the county to
raise money to pay half the expense
of making the improvement. A very
enthusiastic audience was present to
assist in rendering this kind reception
to these railroad people. 1t was highly
appreciated by them.
