Hard After Bulgarians.
In Macedonia the Italians have
joined the fray with the British,
French, Serbiaf, and Greek troops
and are hard after the Bulgarians
and their allies, who are being driv-
en- northward through southern Ser
bia. Between the Cerna and Vardar
rivers, although the Bulgarians and
Germans are sending up reinforce
ments, the allied troops have con-
tinued their pressure. The Serbians
west of the Vardar river have cross
ed the Prilepe-Ishtib road at Kavar-
dar, which constitutes an advance
of more than Is miles into their
former territory. To the east Of
Monastir the Italians have begun
operations in the famous Cerna and
the Vardar the French also have
met with successes.
On the French front the British
north of the Scarpe river advanced
their line on two-mile front, while
east of Epehy, lying between Cam
brai and St. Quentin and at several
other points on this sector in strong
fighting they captured German posi-
tions. On that part of the front
held by the French there was little
activity except by the opposing ar
tillery, which at times was heavy.
On the Lorraine front the Ameri-
cans have carried out two success
full raids against the Germans and
taken prisoners. In addition some
casualties were inflicted on the en-
emy. Several guns also were cap

Paris, Sept. 22.--The statement
issued by the war office tonight
says:
bulgarian forces have been de-
feated and are being pursued be-
tween the Cerna and the Vardar.
SERBIAN forces have advanced in
the region of Cebren. On the right
they captured high crests near Por-
ia and Czena. Bulgarians burned
villages they had abandoned and

Rome, Sept. 22.-The official
communication issued today, dealing
with operations in the mountain
front of the northern Italian thea
ter, follows:
South of Nago yesterday, after
violent artillery preparations, mainly
with gas shells, two enemy columns
attacked the salient of Point 703 at
Djssalte, the first column pressing
forward frontally and the second en-
deavoring to unhinge the base of the
salient with an encircling move.
ment.
The gallant troops of the Sixth
Czecho-Slovak division, who were
holding the position, defended them
selves with admirable valor. and the
encircling attack was crushed and
repulsed by machine gunners. The
other hostile column, having carried
a small advanced post, gained foot
hold on Point 703, but Immediately
was driven back in bitter hand-to-
hand fighting with heavy losses.
"We captured the outpost in the
afternoon. We also destroyed an
enemy outpost on the northern
slopes of Monte Tomba, taking pris-

ter and also the western Jordan
valley. Meanwhile to the north
east the friendly Arab forces of
the king of the Hedjas have cut all
railway communication in front of
the fleeing Turks and are standing
a barrier to their escape by way OF
the eastern plains.
More than $4,000 Turks have been
made prisoner by the British and
guns in excess of l20 had been
counted when the latest reports
from General Allenby were receiv-
ed. In addition great quantities Of
war stores had been captured and
still others had not been counted.
owing to the rapidity of the move
ment.
Thousands Of Turks Enmeshed.
1t is not improbable that within
the bag, the strings of which have
been drawn taut, closing the mouth,
thousands of Turks are enmeshed.
Many of those already made pris-
oner were fleeing in disorder, not
knowing their lines of retreat had
been cut off.
Although the Turks at some
points offered considerable resist
ance to the British, at no point
were they able to stay the advance,
even on the famous field of Arma-
geddon, which the British cavalry
swept across and occupied Nazareth
to the north. In the operation of
sewing the enemy within the sack,
airmen played an important role,
vigorously bombing the retreating
Turks, inhicting enormous casual
ties on them. The losses of Cen
eral Allenby are described as slight.

for the purpose Of Investigating with
County Agent Oswald. the tomato
aphis situation in tins county.
lie. with the County Agent, visited
every district in Worcester County.
and found that without an exception.
the aphis was under splendid control.
This control is due to quite a number
Of different things. II was found that
five different insects and fungus en-
cmics are at work on the aphiS. de-
Stroying them in great quantities, and
that in many eases chickens. sparrows
and birds have destroyed them in
great numbers.
During this survey of the county
ii was noted by Mr.. Courtney that
while the aphis were controlled in all
the fields. those that had been sprayed
with Black Leaf 80, according TO di-
rcctions, showed much more thrifty
condition, and were far in advance of
those where no control measures had
been adopted. 1t was also noted in
several cases that fields had been
kept in good shape by farmers who
shook the aphis from the plants, and
the fields Immediately plowcd after
the shaking operations.
Mr., Courtney does not have any
fear that the aphis will reappear on
the tomato crop this season, but sug-
gests that a lookout be- kept for an
other year, and that the plants in all
seed beds be sprayed before setting
them out next spring.
The Department of Agriculture and
the State Department are arranging
for special publications on the control
of this insect.
