That NO one wears celluloid collars.

LONDON. June ia new allied
! offensive on the Macedonian front
may be in the making, according to
the view in certain circles here today
Of radical rearrangements Of French
and British forces in northern Greece
and Macedonia.
1t now develops that the British
withdrawal from above she Struma
was mainly from a health standpoint
the British army chiefs not desiring
to hazard the fitness of the troops by
summer in that section. 1t was
pointed out here, however, that the
withdrawal might also be part OF a
general scheme to shorten the from.
and increase the strength Of General
Serrail's forces at the foremost point
of contact with the enemy.
Abdication Of King Constantine OF
Greece and installation of success
sor of pro-ally sympathies, leaves the
back door" to the Macedonian front
safely open to the allies. Heretofore
the allies have hesitated to throw
great forces of men into the Macedon-
ian theatre because there was always
the possibility that the pro-German
king of Greece would scheme some
movement that would perhaps bottle
up that army.
The Bulgarian official statements Of
the past two days have indicated a
renewal of active fighting between
the Vardar and Lake Doiran on the
Macedonia front
RaidIng Operations.
LONDON, June 19.-Fighting on
the British front was confined to raid
ing operations, according to Field
Marshal Haig's report today.
Southeast of LeVerguier and in
the neighborhood of the Bapaume-
Cambria road, we raided enemy posi-
tions at night" he said. Several of
the enemy were killed; dug-outs
were destroyed and eleven were
taken prisoner"
Violent German Attack.
PARIS, June ia violent Ger
man attack on French positions taken
Monday between Mont Blond and
Mont Cornillet Champagne sector)
was broken down in the French
defensive fire, today's official report
asserted.
The war office described the pre-
liminary artillery struggle to this
attack as 'most violent" and the
enemy assault as strong one. The
German waves were thrown back
with heavy losses and the French
defenders took a number of .pris-
oners.
North Of ST. Quentin toward
Caionne, enemy attacks on small
posts were stopped" the statement
continued. "In the forest Of Parroix
in patrol engagements, we took sew

The anti.government parties have

Of the Somme battle.
The report frankly admitted that
the British and French hold mastery
Of the air. The Germans, 1t was as
serted, were unable to fly over the
enemy lines and German balloons
were forced to remain hidden on the
ground. Thus, at decisive moments
in the fighting, the Germans artillery
was blinded while the Prussian i'll

The German helplessness, the re-

knowledge that artillery was unable
to support them. The document con-
tinued that the allied flyers so out
numbered and out-maneuvered the
German airplanes that the latter were
even unable to hold the air above
their own artillery positions. Tho
british and French machines con-
stantly hovered overhead, dropping
bombs or giving their own artillery
