Charevo.
Tho statment reads:
BY bold manmuvre in the reeion

bank of the Pohenya."
The French report concerning oncra.
elons IN the Eastern theatre issued last
night reads:
During the course of the dav the
lett wing of the Allied armies in the
East continued their advance toward
klchevo. The enemy rear guards have
retreated to the heights north of Resns
and the village Of Ochrida. The Ser
oian army has gained ground to the
north and to The northeast of Veles anc
kochana. They have also advanced
toward uskub and Kumando. Serbian
cavalry has reached the Bulgarian
frontier.
Greeks Near Petrich
"rhe Anglo Greek forces arc moving
forward north of Strumtsa in the di-
rection of Pescevo. They are advancing
toward Petrich along the valley of the
Strumitsa. The number of guns capt
ured in the present offensive now is
more than $50"
The prompt acceptance of the
Allies terms by the Bulgarians was a
surprise to the newspapers and to the
public. The expectation had been that
the Bulgarian ENJOYS, on general prin-
ciples, would advance terms of their
own and endeavor to engage in debate
for a time.
! The brief and authoritative state
ments issued here indicated that the
Allies had virtually issued an ulti-
matum to Bulgaria. Apparently they
stood firm in their demands. The chief
point of interest now is Germany s
action.
Some reports from Germany state
that she will try to keep Bulgaria in
line by force, but her ability to do so
is another question.

PROPHECY FULFILLED.

London, Nov. 15.-People Of Albert,
France, are convinced that their pro-
precy has been fulfilled that when lie
famous Statue of lhe Madonna at Al
bert fell the war would end in a vic
Tory for France and her Allies. This
Quaint conceit grew out of the fact
that The slalue was disiodged by Ger
man shell fire from its perch on The
tower OF HE church at Albert dur
ing the first mad rush of the Huns
through France in 1914. The base OF
the Statue was so shattered that il
hung over The main road from Amiens
10 Baupaume which passed the walls
of he church.
The statue remained in that strange
poise afler the Huns had been rolled
back by The battle of The Marne. An
effort was made to brace The statue
in lis recumbent position SO ihat II
could not fall until the lower itself
gave way.
When lhe British line was driven
back in March last The Huns again en-
tered Albert and when the Germans
retired at lhe beginning Of The Allied
offensive The lower with its statue
had fallen. This, suriously marked '''c
high tide of German invasion. From

A CHANGE IN TEMPER.

That the war spirit in this country is
changing is evidenced in the news of the day.
1t has taken us a long time to realize Just what
the situation is that confronts us. 1t has taken
us over year to learn that the Germans are
not what we had conceived them to be through
having known great many quiet, well-behaved
individuals of that race residing among us. We
knew that most of these people or their progen-
itors left Germany for America to get away
from imperialism and militarism. to live in a
country where it was not possible to be bullied
by army officers. Americans naturally nourish-
ed the idea that such people could have no SYM
pathy with war that had for its purpose. not
only the maintenance of these things. but to
spread them over the world. Since America de-
cared war however. we have learned hard
lesson. and that is we have learned that despite
the fact that they left their country to live here
in freedom and enjoy all the privileges of a
democratic form OF government, when the war
arose. brought on by the acts of Germany. these
Germans with rare exceptions. sympathize with
the champions Of the things they formerly
despised. With this new knowledge there has
come change in the temper of the Americans
that bodies good to the Germans.

THE LOUNGE LIZARDS.

The last state to Join in the campaign
against loafers, is the state Of New York. An
anti-loafing bill. modelled in some respects after
statutes in other states. was signed by the gov

from Is to so years of age to be ''habitually and

made to work to help the country. A society

invested and the government is using IL Aside
from that amount. children in the higher class
at school have bought Liberty bonds freely

the same as ever The same may be said of
