During the first part of the week the allies vigorously pushed their of fensive in Macedonia, which led to the collapse of Bulgaria.
 Having driven thier great spear head northward in the center of the line along the yardar river, they crossed that river and by Tuesday the Serbians had reached the outskirts of 1shtip. an important Bulgarian base. Then the allies turned to both the east and west in great fanking move ment. On the west the Serbians, rout- ing German garrison, took GradskO, capturing an enormous quantity of SUD- piles, including number of guns. They and the French operating with them passed far beyond Prilep toward Kru- shevo and Kichevo, which are in the foothills of the mountains separating Serbia and Albania. They occupied Veles, north of Prilep, Thursday. Thus the allies gained control of the entire Monastir- -Gradsko road. cutting the Bulgarian army into number of groups. Still further west the Italians took hand in the joyful proceedings. pursuing the fleeing Bulgarians reient- lessly.
 East of the yardar the Bulgars and Germans were steadily forced back to- ward the frontier, and on Thursday came the news that British and Greek forces had actually invaded Bulgaria at Kosturino. about six miles south of Strumnitza, the Teutonic base of that region. Next day Strumnitza itself fell, and at the same time the Serbs took Ishtip and kochana and pushed on almost to the Bulgarian border near the important rail head of Kustendil.
 As the allies advanced they were joined by the peasants, and among the prisoners taken were many Serbians who had been forced to serve in the Bulgarian army. It is noteworthy that among the a}lies fighting in this region ls big contingent of Jugo- Slavs. In the advance of the allies the tanks cut n considerable figure These engines of war never before had been on such rough. mouhtainous terrain.

Checking Up Your Fuel Supply

It is tune to check up your fuel supply for the winter.
 Have you needed the many warnings that have been given you during the summer by the Fuel Administration?
 Dr. Garfield and his represen- tatives in the State and County have long been advising you to prepare for the winter, that you might not,b be forced to seek in vain for coal when the severe weather comes next winter.
 The public has been adylsed, week after week. that unless an adequate supply Of fuel were laid in during the summer and early fall, those who failed to do so might not be able to get any coal when they needed it most.
 They have been advised to lay in supply of wood in the tim bered districts, as the natural fuel for such localities. because they might expect no considera : tion at the hands of the Fuel Ad- ministration should they contin- ue improyident.
 Domestic and industrial con sumers have responded most patriotically to the call of the Government for co operation in this respect as in all others, and Arkansas has just cause to be proud of what has been accom- plished here.
 But it is not done yet.
 There must be no wastage of fuel. so necessary for the prose cution of the war.
 Wood, of which there is so plentiful a supply in Arkansas, must be used in preference to coal wherever possible.
 Sufficient coal must be proyid- ed in advance. without unneces- sary hoarding, to carry you through the winter.
 industrial plants must use slack wherever possible, and will perform a patriotic dnty if they make special arrangements to use anthracite slack. Continue to save coal-don' t waste it.
 Don't waste anything.

 This is a great country for rains. it has rained every day since 1 arrived and Is raining today. There is one thing you must sure do. take your rain
  coats with you. The people over here travel mostly on bicycles I never saw as many in all my life, both men and women ride them. The women run the street cars also carry the mail. We sure do receive joyous welcome, an English Band met us at the land ing and opened with Dixie and our boys almost went wild. The streets are crowded with people The girls would line up beside the streets and shake hands with us sSwe passed. The girls from the shop windows would throw kisses and the little folks would follow us for blocks begging for an American coin. 1 like to have gone broke giving them nickles and pennies, they think we are rich. They would sing our songs as we passed by such as Over There, The Yankees Are Com ing and etc. The kids would yell at us. Kill the Kaiser I had the pleasure last night of sleep. ing on a hard floor. Guess I will sleep in warmer places than this before I get back. I am about as far from Paris as you are from Memphis, can't tell you any more. Things are looking good for the allies now, General Pershing says. Heaven or Hell. or Back to the U. Shy Xmas" They have surely got the Ger mans on the run. Every one has the highest regard for General Foch. There are several thou sand German prisoners at the camp but l haven't seen them yet. The French serve wine at every meal if you want it.

 The Belgians also attacked the Huns north of Ypres.
 Progress by the allies in Picardy was Huns were desperately trying to save St. Quentin. but despite their repeated eounter-attacks, which were especially fierce in the region of Epehy, the Brit. ish continued to close down on that city frcm the west and north, while the French completed it's investment on the south. The reactions of the Germans we're powerful and they sacrificed great numbers of men. At times the British were compelled to give ground, but In almost every instance this was imme- diately recovered. Grieourt and Pon- f'uet, both virtually on the Hindenburg line, were the centers of bloody com bats fer days, and Fayet, only about mile and half from St. Quentin, also was the scene of terrific fighting. By taking Selency the French estab- isfed themselves in strong positions two miles from the western enyirons of St. Quentin. It seemed evident that Marshal Foch could capture that city at any time lie wished. but at an ex- rense in lives which he was endeavor- ing te avoid by the slower method of investment.
