tBy the associated Press,

Washington, Sept. 1S.It has
been hinted in military circles here
for some months that this autumn
would see a major operation on the
Macedonian front, and from news Of
the past few days 1t appears that the
operation has begun.
While 1t is not possible for military
reasons to- give the number Of men
intended to participate In this move
ment, its object is clearto cut OFF
Turkey from the other Central Pow
ers, to crush Bulgaria and to free
Serbia, Rumania and the Jugo-slavs
of southern Austria. i5s
It is no surprise to the Allies to
know that the Serbs are fighting gal
lantly, for they are at last near their
homes and are fighting for the restor7
alton pf their native land ~ s
The Bulgarians already have eatrpu-
:bla,among themselves ana with Ger

some quarters sssit . is believed that
when they see the fortunes Of war
moving against them they may desert
their allies and sue for separate
peace, trying to save'a much Of their
acquired territory as they can. /
The Bulgarians have killed thou
sands of Serbs and Rumanians but
the forces Of the Entente are assured
OF the ardent support Of the people
who have survived the massacre.
Moreover, the Jugo-slays in southern
Austria are only awaiting the oppor-
tunity to jbin. the Allies and free

After Its Receipt.
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE an
swer of the United States to peace
proposals advanced by Austria, an.
unconditional rejection, was today
before the world. The reply issued
by Secretary Lansing last night upon
authorization of President Wilson,
almost Immediately upon delivery of
the Austrian communication by the.
Swedish minister, speaks for all ma
tions arrayed against the Central
Powers, in the belief of officials to-
day.
The text of the answer constitutes
one of the shortest important notes:
recorded in American diplomatic
history. After stating that "the
United States government feels that
there is only one reply which it can
make to the suggestion of the i'm
perialz Austro-Hungarian govern
ment," President Wilson sets forth
the position of the United States in
single sentence, as follows:
1t has repeatedly and with en-
tire candor stated the terms on
which the United. States would
consider peace, and can and will
entertain no proposal for COM :.
ference upon matter concerning
which it has made its position and
purpose SO plain.

HERACL-J JOHNSON,
WRESTLERS, MATCHED

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
BROOKLYN, n. Y, July 9.-The Svea
A. c. presented a newcomer In local
wrestling ranks at the holiday carnival
on the Fourth OF July at Ulmer Park
Casino In the person Of John Heracl
OF Wilmington, Del. Heracl was match
ed against Sigurd Olson, the Danish
champion and won two straight falls
with great ease, the first In 81 minutes
and the second in twelve minutes.
Heracl made a very favorable impress
sion In local wrestling circles by MS
science and ability to keep out OF dan
ger.
The following night Heracl met and
defeated Jack Cameron at the weekly
wrestling night OF Browns A. A. In
Far Rockaway. His showing was de-
cidedly approved by the fans who ap-
plauded him for the skill and science
that he displayed as well as for the
courtesy he extended tO-his opponent
refusing 20 take advantage OF a slip
on the mat. He worked most cleanly
and Rentlemanly In a manner sppreci-
nted bv the audience which was most
critical In dealing out its applause.
The BROOKLYN promoters were present
and NJ the end OF the bout offered to
match Heracl against Hllmar Johnson,
the Brooklyn Adonls, one Of the best
wrestlers in heavyweight ranks today.
Aftor some heated argument the match
was agreed upon on conditions that
Il take place In Wilmington. The only
concession made was that a New York
referee acted as third man. John ].
Fleeson. the Brooklyn Eagle sporting
writer. who has earned an envi5ble
reputation as a referee in wrestling
bouts. was accepted by both Heracl
and Johnson and will act as Judge
IN the forthcoming match.

OF Johnson have made arrangements to

accuracy.
