Bulgarians Repulse Allies

LONDON. Oct. l1-Allied troops
made a strong attack Tuesday south
Of Dorian and north of Salonica. ac-
cordine TO the Bulgarian official state
ment of Wednesday. The attacks. be-
gun after violent artillery fire for
twenty-four hours, were broken up at
two points by the Bulgarian artillery.
The Entente losses are reported TO
have been heavy. while the Bulgarans
suffered only slightly. Allied troops
who gained a temporary footing in one
of the Bulgarian advanced trenches,
the statement claims, were either killed
or captured.
The German statement to-day also
reports activity along this front. de-
claring that Entente detachments
which advanced many times were driven
back.
The reported Allied attacks south OF
Dorian probably were not in force.
The official statement from Berlin
Wednesday said that southwest OF
Lake Dorian the Bulgarians repulsed
several British attachments which at

Weakened Peace Propa-
ganda, He Tells Haig

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE AND BELGIUM. Oct. IL
The recent operations in Flanders have
brought many congratulatory messages
to the British troops. Field Marshal
Haig has issued an order of the day
containing number Of dispatches re-
ceived on October 3 and the replies
sent TO them. General John J. Per
sh.rg. commander Of the American
oXp.ditionary force in France, tele-
graphed;
Permit me 20 extend sincere con-
cratulations to you and your magn!fi-
cent army upon the recent important
gains in front Of Ypres. They give a
striking answer 70 the weakened
peace propaganda"
Field Marshal Haig sent this an
swer:
81 wish 10 thank you very heartily
in behalf of the British army under
my command for your most kind tele-
gram. We look forward TO the day
when the American armies join US on
the Western front, and we are quite
confident that the Allies. so reinforced,
will fight the war to an early and de-
cisive issue"

sential than military training for the
big guns. Mathematics means more to
US than the manual of arms. That is
why we need lots Of new officers. IL
is generally impossible in heavy artil-
lery TO bring n man up from the ranks
unless he has had a technical education.
All the experience in the world won't
help him much except to fire gun. and
that's no great trick.
There arc many college athletes
among the reservists. The most famous
all-round football stsf ever turned out
by Harvard is with the trench mcrtars,
and famous Crimson linesman has
been assigned 10 the same work. Inc
assignment of younger officers TO NOR
tars, howtzers and rifles was done by
lot. French mortars were considered
the least desirable branch but the men
with the mortars won't admit II now.
The "doughboys" came out OF their
practice trenches this morning after
two days and nights. during which the
weather behaved like a Boche. Inc
enemy was absent, but the elements
did their best to make up for TINS
lack by pelting the soldiers hrst Win
rain and then with sleet.
A driving wind made the soldiers
only too eager 20 obey the command
of their officers to keep their heads
down. Conditions Of actual warfare
we're carried out as far AS possible:
There were relief patrols and briet
sessions in the dugouts during the
oretical intense bombardment.
The experiment served TO test the
new American field kitchens. which
combine several features taken from
other army models. The cook did
we'll with his new contrivance. and
managed TO keep the men tolerably
cheerful with frequent rations OF hot
soup. stew and coffee.
Two feet of water IN the trenches
during the last day made the men vel
come the opportunity to 20 back TO
their bllets.
American observers have returned
from the British front, where they
watched the recent offensive. All were
much impressed by the fighting quail
ties and organization of the English.
One found that fraternization on the
Russian front had hurt the spirit OF
the Germans recently moved to the
Western front from that section.
The British found weak resistance
II one point" he said, "and captured
many prisoners. When questioned, the
Germans explained: we can't stand
this; it isn't anything like it was in
Russia"
American troops will have test Of
endurance this week, when they VIII
spend two days and nights in practice
trenches under conditions as nearly
Stimulating war as possible.

Generals Commission
Is Sent to Pershing
Secretary Baker Forwards
New Rank Conferred on
Commander Abroad

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1l.-Secretary
of War Baker to-day forwarded to Cen
eral Pershing his commission as gen
eral, the new rank accorded the COM
mander in chief of the American over
seas forces, by legislation just before
adjournment of Congress. General
Bliss previously had received his com
mission.
Secretary Baker expressed gratitica-
tion at the action OF Congress IN restor-
ing the Civil War army rank Of general.
al am delighted" the Secretary said
that Congress has accorded this rec
IGNITION to two distinguished American
soldiers. II places the commander In
chief Of the Am t-ican army overseas
in position comparable with the great
army which ne commands and the dig
nitv Of the task which he has in hand.
at is obviously appropriate that the
chief of staff should have equal rank
and the honor is worthily bestowed
upon General Bliss.
General Pershing will retain his rank
until the end of the war. General Bliss
will go on the retired list in December
as a major general, and his successor
will succeed 20 the rank of general.
Secretary Baker said no considera-
tion had been given to the question OF
making the new rank of general and
Lieutenant general permanent.
Generals Pershng and Bliss now
rank with Admiral Benson, chief of
operations, and the admirals command
ing the three fleets The new lieuten-
ant generals rank with the vice ad-
mirals. The rank in the navy CORE

permanent army rank, is that of rear

Mrs. Dewey May Bring
Peace to Navy League
Will Use Red Cross Post to
Effect Reconciliation With
Daniels, Is Belief

WASHINGTON, Oct. lit is be-
lieved here that Mrs. George Dewey,
widow of Admiral Dewey, may be the
means of bringing about g reconcilia-
ton between Secretary Daniels and the
Navy League.
Mrs Dewey to-day accepted the chair
manship of the naval auxiliary Of the
District chapter of the Red Cross. At
the request OF Secretary Daniels these
auXlliaries are being organized by Red
Cross chapters throughout the country
to supply comforts TO the men IN the
navy.
Mrs. Dewey is already head or the
Navy League organization collecting
and forwarding supplies for the navy,
and il is said that she has accepted the
two posts with the idea that in her
dual capacity she may be able TO bring
about reconciliation between Score
tary Daniels and the Navy League.
Announcement of an appropriation of
$3.50, $3.50 for the relief of Belgians not
under the rule Of Germany was made
to-day by the Red Cross War Council.
This fund is TO be used in beginning
the work OF the new Red Cross Depart
ment for Belgium recently organized
under the Red Cross Commission TO
France. The separation of relief work
in Belgium from that in France was
determined on by the War Council
owing 10 the present difficulties Of
Communication and transportation in
France.
Comprehensive plans are already I'M
der way in Belgium. These were out
lined in conferences between King AL
bert and Major Grayson Mp. Murphy,
head of the commission to France
Warehouses and stores are 10 be erect
ed Immediately along canals and high
ways in Belgium 70 serve as centres of
relief distribution.
Particular attention is TO be given
TO Belgian children and orphans, who
have been the chief sufferers during
the three years of the war. The Red
Cross is planning 70 aid hostels, estab-
lished under the direction of the Queen
of Belgium. for the care Of children
under four years of age. Efforts are
to be made to see that the schooling Of
these children does not entirely cease.
Refugee Belgian children in other
parts of France and Switzerland are
also to receive the special care of this
new department.

AMERICAN EXPEDITlONARY
ARMY IN FRANCE. Oct. 10.--American
coast artillerymen are in France train
ing 10 fire guns bigger than the Ger
man "Berthas.' Most Of the men have
had experience with big guns, but need
practice in French methods and me-
chauical devices.
There are also a number Of reserve
officers in the camp. They had two
months training at Ft.ues Monroe
and will soon be almost as good as the
best, because they have all had college
technical training or its equivalent.
Just now they are at school again,
examining on French big guns and all
the textbooks available. However. they
need not depend on the books alone:
for the camp contains specimens OF
most types Of French artillery.
The pride Of the contingent is a mon
ster mounted on railroad trucks which
fires projectile weighing ! 800 pounds.
Big Gun With a Sting
After the French custom, the big
howitzer has been honored with name.
Mosquito" is painted on the carriage
in huge letters.
Eve call her mosquito" explained a
French officer. because she stings."
Mosquito" has buzzed no less than
three hundred times at Nerdun, but she
has q number of stings left. The
Americans detailed TO this type Of gun
are loud in their praises and assert. it
10 be the finest weapon in the world.
There are those, however, who swear
by Petite Lulu" squat howitzer
which throws she'll higher than any
mountain IN America. There are cham
pions also of "Gaby," long-nosed
creature which outranges all the rest.
Marcel" can talk a little faster than
any gun in camp, but her words carry
less weight.
None of the guns is being fred yet,
for first the Americans are going
through the motions and learning every
dull operation. Aeroplane observation
will also have 10 be mastered before
the big gunners are ready. but the coast
artillerymen assert that their expert
ence with naval guns is invaluable and
that only a small amount of work Will
be necessary before they can attain the
same accuracy against land targets as
against sea ones.
Technical Training Essential
Every one has good word for the
field officers assigned TO the big guns.
The colonel in charge OF the school
said:
Technical training is much more es-

Flander. Battle, Though a
Victory, Won't End War,
Declares British Expert
U-Boats' Threat Futile
British Have Become New
"Steam Roller" Of the
Entente Forces

LONDON, Oct. i1.-Major General
Frederick B. Maurice, chief director OF
military operations at the war ofhee'
in his weekly talk to-day with Inc AS
ISOLATED Press. after an optimistic re-
view OF the last weeks work on the
British front in Flanders, said:
I'VE have every right TO be CONN
dent when we see what our men have
done. But the fighting is hard, ana
we do not think that the present series
of battles in Flanders is going to END
the war. There is a great deal more
hard lighting before us. | would say
that the Importance OF getting the
American troops here as quickly as
possible and in the greatest possible
numbers has not been diminished.
"The word 'steam-roller, which was
so often used in the early days OF me
war in connection with the Russian
army. is exactly the right word to
characterize the British advance III
Flanders. 1t is an advance not rapo'
but insistent, irresistible. IL goes up
hill very slowly. but now it is gong
downhill, and battles are following
one another more and more rapidly,
"I want 10 say q word about the
work which has been done behind our
lines in preparing for these battles.
| don't wish to minimize the U-boat
threat. but | can truthfully say that
nothing the U-boats have done has
delayed for a single hour our work
in France; it has not delayed SIM
gle round Of ammunition or a ration
for the soldiers. The British army was
never better fed or supplied than to-
day.
1.-THE daily imports of British war
material into France last January
averaged a little over eleven tons an
hour; in September they had IN
creased to twenty-four and half
tons. The number of broad-gauged
trains run daily in the war zone with
British war material numbered l79
in March and 259 in September. The
weekly tonnage on narrowgauge lines
in March was $4,000; in September,
10000 The weekly average of war
materials on the canals in the British
war zone was $4,000 tons in March
and $4,000 tons in September"
Commenting on the German report
that the British had lost half mil
lion men IN the present series Of bat
ties, General Maurice said:
1.-The figures are grotesque. We
have not had that many men engaged.
As | have already told you, our casu-
alties have been very light, and the
German casualties are known TO have
been IS per cent greater than ours"

'Fingey' Corners to Rescue
Buffalo's Strong-Armer Is Co
ing to France

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE War
Department has completed plans for
the dispatch of three regiments OF
stevedores and longshoremen to France
TO handle the unloading OF cargoes
forwarded TO General Pershing's army.
William J. Conners, of Buffalo, for
mer Democratic National Committee
man from New York. noted as a sue
cessful strkebreaker, will be APP
pointed director of docks at the French
port TO which American supplies are
consigned. and will have complete
charge Of the unloading OF supplies
for the Pershing army.
Difficulty in securing prompt UNI
loading Of American supplies in France
has greatly retarded the transportation
programme of the War Department. IT
was stated to-day. Moreover, this has
further meant idle tonnage, which has
been cause of considerable irritation
TO the Shipping Board. However. with
Mr.. Corners in charge of the govern
ment's unloading tasks in France, Off
Gals expect that the work will be
greatly expedited.
