London, May 11.-Furious assaults along virtually the entire Bulgo- German line in Macedonia by the al- lied forces are reported in a very long and detailed Bulgarian official report issued on Thursday. The report claims the repulse of all attacks but says that the most violent artillery action is proceeding day and night.
 In the vicinity of Makova about thirteen miles northeast of Monastir. the Bulgarian statement, says d vigorous attack was opened after 9 heavy bombardment but collapsed with heavy losses. It was followed by another attack which. the report says, was completely shattered
 Further to the east the allies as- ,saulted the Bulgaran lines in the di- rection of Staravipia and Gradesh- nitaa but all atoGks. according to Sofia were repulsed. The statement continues:
 The most violent artillery fire continues. practically uninter- rupted. day and night west of the
 Vardar river. Several infantry attempts to advance near Alchak- nah were repulsed. The enemy maintained an extreme fire all
 day against the Bulgarian posi- tions south of Lake Doiran and
 during the night made several consecutive attacks with great
 persistence.
 The first attack, delivered in column ct 3 in the evening, was driven back by artillery, machine guns. rifles and bomb fire with severe losses to the attackers. A second attempt at II o'clock was also repulsed. the enemy only penetrating our positions at one
 point, whence he was driven out by | counter attack. A third furious attack at 1 ;, o'clock E reached certain points in the Bull gar trenches but the attackers were driven out later with the bayonet with great losses. An hour later another attempt was rather easily repulsed.

NO SEPARATE PEACE FOR U. s.
Lansing Declares Any Offer Made to This Country Must Be Extended to All Allies.

Made to This Country Must Be
 Extended to All Allies.
 Washington, May 11.-Any peace proposals which the German govern ment contemplates making to the United States now or in future will have to be addressed to the Entente Allies as we'll. This was clearly indi- cated by Secretary Lansing late yes- terday when he said that peace terms would be considered by the United States and the Allies jointly.
 Secretary Lansing regards all the talk emanating from irresponsible circles concerning peace offers as un- timely. This government, like all the Entente governments, Is highly de- sirous Of peace along the lines indi- cated by President Wilson's message to congress declaring that a state of war existed. But as this peace, in volving the triumph of democracy. necessarily means the eradication of autocrattc German militarism, no statesman here or in the Entente countries of Europe expects it to come now while Germany's military power remains flourishing. Other abortive peace offers, whether inspired for hidden motives by Berlin or not, are of no interest either to the United States or the Entente.
 No reports have reached the state department concerning any new peace offer by Germany according to Sec retary Lansing

We're Fussy too when they didn't take
either of you for their Dinners
"Pinky Pig Snorted to himself as
If he We're very Proud Of what he had
said. For he thought it was very
Smart OF him to say anything so Rude
to the Turkeys.
"Of course, said Mr. Turkey, you
may think it's great Honor to be
Eaten There is never any accounting
for Tastes, as | have often said be-
fore.
"My dear corrected Mrs. Turkey,
you never said that before. You only
heard it,
"Well, that's slight Mistake, said
Mr.. Turkey. Hearing and saying are
always the same
"Ha ha grunted Pinky. He liked
to hear Mr.. and Mrs. Turkey Argue
with each other
ado you think it's such an Honor
to be Eaten, Pnky? asked Mr. Tur-
key.
"'Gobble, Gobble, Gobble,' said Mrs.
Turkey. That's good Question
"If ! we're a Turkey said Pinky
Pig slowly I would consider it an in
suit not to be Eaten when grew to
be the right size, OF course with Pigs
1t is quite Different
81 don't see how said Mrs. Tur-
key
because said Pinky Pig, it's the
right thing for Turkey to be eaten.
"It's only right in your Opinion,
said Mr.. Turkey, and to my mind the
Opinion of Pig isn't worth so very
much
"'And, said Mrs. Turkey 1T shows
that in truth you are really ashamed
Of Yourself
GLOW? sQuealed Pinky, for he was
getting very angry
"'You will never look in Looking
Glass or Mirror. That is one rca
son you don't like n clear Brook be-
cause you might see your own Refec-
ton. And If anyone should put a
Mirror up before you. you wouldn't
look in it Now you know you
wouldn't Doesn't that show you're
ashamed OF yourself, and of the I'm
tidy way you lookf
"'That's fine speech, said Mr..
Turkey admiringly.
"'It's nonsense said Pinky. He
wished he hadn't come to talk to these
Rude Turkeys!
"'But isn't It trueY asked Mr. Tur-
kcy.
"'To be sure | won't look at my
self. But it's because I'm not Vain.
Only Vain Creatures look at them
selves in Mirrors.
"They want to look Nice and Neat
that's why said Mrs. Turkey.
"And if we weren't Eaten said Mr..
Turkey, 1t is because we were wanted
to stay here in the Barn-Yard.
"No, It's because trrown.Ups are
Fussy,' said Pinky Pig. They are very
Particular just what they Eat. They
wouldn't Eat old, Tough Turkeys Now
Pigs aren't Fussy like that. We Will
Eat anything We're so simple in our
Tastes. We never Fuss and Critl-
clze our Food We're so Nice to Feed !
ayes, you'll Eat anything, said Mr.
Turkey. But you're Wrong about us
for we were not Eaten because we

I know said Plnky."
