imperative, for while tho summer heat

wood and dense forests, interspersed
with deep rav!nes, chasms and preci-

so safe from attack by reason CT thCse'
natural difficulties that they did hot
interfere with the allied preliminary
work.
Little by little as the road was built
guns were pushed forward and huge
ammunition dumps constructed. Heavy
guns-went into position at an altitude
of 5000 feet. They were brought by
tractors. then drawn by horses and
mules and finally dragged into place by
man power.
Soldiers of the signal detachments
had to become Alpinists to lay their
communication lines in this chaos OF
rocks and trees. The Bulgarians
watched all these effects and failed
even to shell their opponents.
Everything camoufiaged.
1t must be added. however, continued
the correspondent. that everything that
could be hidden was camouhaged ad-
mirably 1t was only during the night
preceding the attack that the assault
ing troops were brought up.
Promptly at 5 o'clock on the morn
ing of Sept. IA the artillery opened
with such vigor as to surprise the Bull
garians, who were not aware heavy ar
tillery was confronting them.
The artillery preparations lasted all

MAY TAKE LIQUOR
INTO DRY COUNTIES

Frankfort, Ky, Nov. 26,-Those
Legislators who were convinced that,
in view of the decision of the United
States Supreme court in some west
ern case, the Court of Appeals of
Kentucky would override its pre-
vious opinions as to the constitu-
tional right of man to carry liquor
for his own personal use into dry
counties, were mistaken.
The Court of Appeals in an opin-
ion to-day, involving the interpreted
ton of the Anti-Shipping Act of 1918,
reiterated its former ruling that a
man has right to carry it in for
his own personal use.
The Court said in an opinion by
Commissioner Clay, the whole court
sitting. that the General Assembly
cannot exercise a forbidden power
merely to enforce law it has the
power to enact"
Thomas Barber was convicted in
Rowan county of carrying in liquor
from Lexington and sentenced to
twenty days in Jail and a fine of $50.
The liquor was for his own per-
sonal use, and he was convicted un-
der the act OF 1918. prohibiting car
rying it for any purpose.
