Attack Repulsed.
ON MACEDONIA FRONT

LONDON.-According to Serbian official reports received today, the Bulgarians are fleeing in disoreder and are burning stores and villages in the line of their retreat. The Allies have advanced for a distance of twelve miles, and their progress has been so rapid that they had no time to count the number of pris- oners or the amount of material which fell into their hands. The new Bulgarian regiments arriving re- gently to reinforce their line, are also in full flight with the others. The Serbians and French are pur- suing the retreating Bulgars night and day. The Allies have captured

MARCH REPORTS
 HUN RETIREMENT
 ID NEW DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-General March, chief of staff of the Ameri- can army, said that the Germans are apparently perfecting new line of defense to which they have re- tired and they are making hurried preparations to defend this line against the American First army, which has now completed the elimini- ation of the St. Mihiel salient.
 This new German line stretches from Maizeray to the Moselle at Vandiers distance of approximately twenty miles.
 The Americans, he said, are now only ten miles distant from Metz and Conflans

SUMMARY

Associated Press Summary-Driv- ing northward along an widen ing front, the Franco-Serbian forces operating in Central Macedonia now menace the entire Bulgarian position from the Adriatic to Saloniki. If they succeed in cutting off the Uskub-Saloniki railroad which is now nine miles from the new Ser bian line and is the objective of the advancing Serbian and French troops, 1t would mean the complete upset ting of the Bulgarian plans of de- fense, as the possession of this road is vital to them for the purpose of getting their supplies
 Six months ago today the great German offensive on the Western front was begun and for several weeks victory seemed about to perch on the German banners. Today, after six months of almost incessant fighting, during which time several bewildering changes were wrought in the war situation, the Allied star is in the ascendency. During that trying period of six months the Allies unflinchingly faced Germany's s mightiest forces and by heroic fight ing, were at last enabled to over- come Germany's mightiest effort.

CAPTURED SOIL 10 BE OCCUPIED
 BY THE FRENCH

WITH THE AMERICANS-Plans are now being made for the repopu- lation, by the French people, of the St. Mihiel salient from which the Germans who had been in occupa- tion for nearly four years, have been driven out by the American forces under General Pershing.
 A committee of the people who will reoccupy the territory included in this salient, and who had been exiled ever since the coming of the Huns, have asked the Americans for permission to enter the salient and seek for the money which they had buried at the approach of the Ger mans.
 The Germans, who had apparently never expected to be busted from the salient, had built many shelters and beer gardens. Many of the dugouts formerly occupied by Ger man officers contained bathtubs, electric lights and many other con- veniences.
