SOFIA. October 30. via London.
October 24.-The writer has Just mo.
tored back to Sofia from Petritch.
During the night the Greeks practi-
cally encircled the town and the main
road into the town, which is only
mile from the Greek trenches.
Within five minutes u shells fell
near the road and several bursts of
machine guns swept 1t. Aided by
luck and the courage Of the chauffeur.
the writer escaped unhurt. After an
aeroplane reconnaissance, the Petritch
station is being heavily bombed and
shelled, and no train is able to arrive.
This morning the Bulgarian troops
carried out "a small advance toward
westerly points. but they continue to
be hampered by lack of artillery.
In the range OF hills about Petritch
several fierce hand-to-hand combats
have taken place. The Greek forces
are partly composed of irregular sol
dierS and militia. The Bulgarian
soldiers number only 500.
The lack of standard gauge rail-
way prevents the Bulgarians from
bringing reinforcements quickly, and
if the Greeks advance now they will
probably break the Bulgarian lines in
two. All ablebodied men and boys
among the civilian population are
helping the army, though most of
them are unarmed.
The weather continues lovely, which
is a great advantage for the fleeing
women and children.
Reports that Bulgarian troops ad-
vanced into Greek Territory have alb
solutely no foundation. The situation
is getting worse. as this afternoon
about o'clock. a force of Greek in

5000 strong, started a new advance

SOFIA. BULGARIA. Octover "a.
Bulgaria is sending troops INTO
the war area" and has decided
to make stand as far as her
limited military strength permits,
i'm case the Greeks continue TO
invade the territory granted her
under the Treaty of Neuilly. This
is stated in authoritative quarters
here.
SOFIA. October 24.-LarSe contin-
gents of Greek troops continue to be
sent toward the Bulgarian border, the
Bulgarian Telegraph Agency an
nounces 1t considers this an indlca-
ton that the Greeks intend to enlarge
the scope of their present offensive.
The government says that Greeks
have pierced Bulgarian territory to a
depth of more than seven miles on "a
20-mile front.
The agency declares that the popu-
Iation is highly excited. and that feel
ing is growing that a limit must soon
be set to the retreat of the Bulgarian
forces.

denial that Bulgarian troops have at
any time violated Greek frontier out
posts, regretting that it cannot enter

Contents of Note.
The note, which is in reply to the
Greek demands, declines all respon-
sibility for the frontier incident, and
points out that although the Bull
garian and Greek views differ as to
the origin of the trouble, the Sofia
government from the very first suS-
gested that a committee of inquiry
should he appointed to investigate
the matter and recommended that
both governments should direct their
armed forces to cease hostilities.
Unfortunately. the note continues,
the Bulgarian proposal elected no re-
ply, while on the other hand Greek
troops advanced miles into Bulgaria.
Confronted by such a grave situation
the Bulgarian government had no al
formative but to appeal to the league.

ESTATE TAX CUT
House Committee Head Fa-
vors Sliding Scale to Final
Repeal in Six Years.
By the Associated Press.


Proposals for immediate reduction in
the Federal 1nheritan tax. with re-
peal at the end of six years, were in.
dorsed today by Chairman Green of
the House Ways and means com.
mittee.
Such a scheme was presented to the
committee yesterday by the National
Committee on Inheritance Taxation.
composed of tax experts from every
section of the country
In indorsing the six-year plan, Mr..
Green said this time would give op-
portunity for States to enact uniform
inherltance tax laws prior to with
draWai OF the Federal Government.
Chairman Green opposed Immediate q
repeal, but suggested that full credit
might be allowed in settlement of the
Federal levies for amounts paid on
state inheritance taxes Secretary
Mellon has proposed immediate repeal.
and his position was indorsed yester.
day by number of State governors.
Plea for Smokers.
Taxes on automobiles. admissions
and tobacco were up for discussion
today before the committee
Reductions in all of these levies
were sought by the representatives
of affected interests. No place for
such cuts, however was given in the

Mellon, except for repeal of the tax
on automobile trucks, tires and acces.
Sories.
MIR. Mellon estimated that repeal of
that levy would take up S35 900 900 of
the SoO,000.000 he allotted in his pro-
gram to the reduction of miscellane-
Gus taxes. The remainder should be
devoted, he thought, to wiping out
taxes which yielded but small returns
and were a nuisance to collect, such
as those on art works. AS to the ad-
missions levy. however he believed
that should be retained since it applied
only on tickets selling for more tha n
90 cents.
Would Lower Prices.
In a statement presenting the posi-.
ton of the Tobacco Merchants Asso-
citation of the United States in favor
of cut in the tobacco tax, Charles
DuShkind of New York declared this
would permit sale of cigars at lower
prices.
We are not asking for a tax reduc-
tlon in order to increase our profits or
enrich any branch of our industry"
he said but we are looking for it as
means-in fact, as the only available
means in sight-to enable us to give
the consumer better value"
a reduction of 81 per 1000 on five
cent cigars, SO on the two-for- fifteen
| cent cigars. and $3.50 on the new ten
cent grade was proposed. Collections
from tobacco levies next year are esti-
mated by the Treasury at $3.50 900, 900,
forming the greatest revenue producer
among the miscellaneous taxes.
