tends II Miles.
By Associated Press.

London, Sept. 19.-The
Bulgarians are in flight in
Macedonia and are burning
stores and villages, according
to a Serbian official statement
received here.
The allied troops now have
advanced more than IL miles
and their progress has been
so rapid that they have not
been able to count the prison.
ers and war material taken.
New regiments thrown in by
the Bulgarians have been
forced to retreat with the
others.
The Bulgarians have been
defeated completely and the
Serbian troops are pursuing
them day and night.
The Serbian and French troops
have taken the towns of Topolets,
Potshishta, Beshishta, Melynites,
Vitolishta and Rasimbey. They have
also taken the heights of Kuchkov
Kamem.
The fighting has been going on
since Sunday and the progress is
such that there is now real threat
toward the city of Prelep, which is
said to be one of the principal bases
of the Teutonic allies on this sector
of the Macedonian front.

By Associated Press.

Thursday saw both the British
and French armies in Picardy mate
rally develop their plans for the
eventual enveloping of st. Quentin
and Cambria. The British made fur
ther gains around Gouzeaucourt and
east of Epehy, while the French,
striking southeast of St. Quentin,
brought the southern part Of their
nipper into a better position for the
squeeze against the town, which
daily seemingly is growing nearer.
Enemy Soundly Hammered.
Extremely heavy casualties were
inflicted on the Germans in the
frontal attacks and during violent
counter attacks made by them We'd

deavor to recoup their losses Of

hammered during this fighting that

ing strategic positions which are
threatening the high ground along
the Chemin-Des-Dames, which the
enemy hopes to save as temporary
haven of refuge in the event of a
forced retirement from the west and
the south. Notwithstanding the
strength of the onslaught the French
everywhere repulsed the enemy.
Attacking Columns Cut Up.
Likewise south of the Aisne, in the
region of Courtland, the Germans
endeavored to beat back the French,
but again met with defeat, the
French artillery cutting the attack
ing waves to pieces.
On the Lorraine front there has
been mutual artillery shelling, but
no infantry engagements. A raid at.
tempted by the Germans against
General Pershing's men northwest
of nt-A-Mousson came to naught.
In the Macedonia theater the Bull
garians are still in full fight before
the Serbians, who have recaptured
numerous towns and taken large
numbers of prisoners and great
quantities of war stores. Following
the usual tactics of the Teutonic
allies the enemy is devastating the
country he traverses, leaving it a
wilderness through the use of the
torch and explosives.
Czechs Meet Setback.
In European Russia the bolshe-
wiki and the Germans for the mo-
ment seem to have the upper hand
over the Czecho-Slovaks, who have
been compelled to evacuate Volsk.
Simbirsk and Kazan. The success
of the enemy forces is attributed to
lack of ammunition and other
supplies by the Czecho-Slovaks. In
Trans Caucasia the British force
which recently went to the relief Of
the besieged Armenians in Baku has
been compelled to withdraw into
North Persia in the face of the large
Turkish forces and the ineffective.
ness of the Russo-Armenian aid.
The inter-allied labor conference
in session in London has unanimous

Wilson formulated as the only basis
for peace, as labor's basis for the
ending of the war. Likewise unani-
nous approval was given the stand
of President Wilson and the entente
powers with regard to the Aus
trian peace note.

Reach All Objectives.

Paris, Sept. 1S.-The following
official statement dealing with oper-
ations on the Macedonian front was
issued tonight by the war office:
despite important reinforcements
hastily brought forward by the
enemy, who defended his new po.
sitions stubbornly, the offensive of
the allied armies continued success
fully on September II. All detectives
fixed for the day were reached. At
tacks developed on a front of about
IS kilometers and progress was
made to depth of IS kilometers at
certain points.
Allies Take IS Villages.
SERBIAN troops, operating with
French and Greek detachments,
took, after a violent assault, IS vii
lagos, including Zovik and Stravina
and the heights of Polchichte and
Bechichte, north of the River
Gradeshnitza, and the village of
Gradeshnitza, which was stubbornly
defended by the enemy, who had
orders to hold it at any cost. In the
center they progressed on the hill
which is situated near Koziak, ad-
vanced northeast of Koziak and took
foothold on the hills of Kuchkov.
To the east they crossed the Perez
and occupied the Massif of Topoles.
The booty captured was consider
able. More than 50 cannon, of which
20 were heavy pieces, fell into our
hands. The allied aviators domi-
mated completely over the enemy
and greatly aided in the battle by
attacking enemy troops.

ARMED GANGS
RUNNING AMuCk
IN PETR0GRAD
Persons Murdered Openly in
Streets; Authorities Make
No Effort to Pre-
serve Order.

Stockholm, Sept. lo-Numerous
refugees arrived today from Mos
cow and Petrograd, having left Pet
'rograd on September Is. They say
THAT, the Russian capital is entirely
in the hands of anarchists and that
conditions are worse than ever be-
fore. There is no police protection
or any other means to preserve or
sder and persons are openly murder
ed in the streets or held up and
robbed as there is no risk of punish
ment for the criminals.
Armed gangs break into houses,
stealing and numbering in their
search for provisions, money and
clothing. Several of the refugees in
this way lost all their property.
The report that large sections of
the town have been burned, they
say is exaggerated, but very serious
fires have destroyed certain quarters,
and the confagrations often spread
quickly, as there is no organized
fire department and only volunteers
are available.
Royalties Burned to Death.
London, Sept. 19.-The former
Russian dowager empress and
three princesses and two grand
duchesses, whose names are not re-
ported, were burned to death about
month after the Russian emperor
was shot, according to story
reaching London.
After the former emperor was
killed the women were taken to an
isolated village, according to the
present report, and made prisoners
in a residence. They were there
only few days when a crowd of
bolsheviki attacked the house. The
women -barricaded the doors and
the house was set on fire. All the
persons in the house perished.
There have been various reports
as to the fate of the former Russian
empress and her daughters. A Lon
don newspaper on September Il re-
ported that she and her four daugh-
tiers had been murdered by the
bolsheviki. This report was denied
a few days later by the bolshevik
foreign minister.
