LACK AUTHORITY TO TAKE MEN FOR
 STUDENTS CORPS
Applicants for Such Train ing Must Apply to Train
 ing Centers.

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. 23-Major Buckley, director of the draft, said today that registrants desiring to en- roll In students training corps or at other military training centers, ought not to apply to their local draft board officials, but should communicate with the proper authorities at the training center. Acceptance of such application lies solely with the com mandant, he says. He is competent to issue orders to the applicants draft board to induct the men for special service.
 Draft boards have no authority to act without proper orders," said the Major.
 Major Buckley said he had learned that a number of colleges where stu dents training corps had been estab- lished had been sending out instruc. tions of their own to prospective ap- plicants. This he characterized as improper and misleading.

 The statement reads as follows:
 The Serbians continue to advance. The Serbian troops this morning (Sunday) reached the river Fardar and cut the main railway line between Uskub and Saloniki.
 "Our troops have cut the railway between Gradsko (southeast of Us krhb) and Prilep which is the main line of communication of the German army.

German and Bulgarian reinforce ments thrown in to check the Serbian advance toward Uskub have been forced to join in the retreat of their comrades by the impetuous Serbs who now have advanced 40 miles since Sept. 19. Prisoners captured are be- ing added to as the progress north ward continues and the quantity of war material also Is increasing.
 The salient drive into the Bulgarian lines at Sokol has been widened until now the allies are advancing on a front of nearly 50 miles stretching from east of Monastir to the Vardar. When they reached the Vardar the Serbians were about to cut the rail- way running south toward Saloniki and the only communication line of the Bulgarians in the region of Lake EIoiran. In the western flank the Serbs have pushed to the highest point of the mountain region in the upper part of the Cerna bend and cut the railway from Gradsko, southeast of Uskub to Prilep, the base of the German army operating north and northeast of Monastir Cutting the railroads places two large enemy lOTCeS III great peril.
