ZURICH, Aug. 10.—What a Mer
lin dispatch describes as the most
momentous council held in the war.
is now proceeding in Berlin, accord
ing to telegraphic advices receiv'd
here direct from the German capi
tal.
Attending the council are the Kai
ser himself, I)r. George Michaelis,
the new German Chancellor, every
single member ot the new German
government, Archduke Frederieh of
Austria, and Prince Hohenlohe.
The council was called by the
Kaiser hinifcli alter a hurried trip
to and from Sienna.
H is considered significant that
none of the very high German
lead< is in the General Staff are re
presented, although it is described
as a war council. One report de
clares that it is not impossible that
the result ol the conference may be
that the Central Powers may deter
mine upon promulgating definite
peace proposals and the report has
created considerable stir here.
The importance of Berlin dis
j Hatches to this pin ft? cannot he over
| rated as the advices r ■ iv<d ere
I usually semi-oRicial pronouncements
j In the absence of any forecast of
j the council, beyond the bare state
j incut as to iis being of momentous
I importance, the difficulty and uncer
tainty involved in any attempt to
! make conjectures as its purport
i are declared to be obvious.
The results will he waited for
with some expectancy.

SALONIKA, Aug. tO.—Today the
Allies broke the long lull along the
Greek and Macedonia ironts when
a general attack began on the llul
gar-Teuton positions on this v. ry ex
tended front.
The Allies capturde four Bulger
Milages and ire driving still further
ahead. The 'ighling is desi ribed as
violent in tin: extreme.
LONDON', Aug. 10.—Tin puldlc
attention is heir.5 attracted to the
brilliant fighting on the Macedonian
Greek fronts where the Allies again ,
lia\e pushed their lines several]
miles ahead and captured several
villayets and minor towns taking a
larger number of Bulgars prisoners
and some Germans.
The prisoners say that they had
not been expecting an attack al
though the severe artillery of yest
erday had made their generals sus
pect something of the kind.
I’ARIS, Aug. 10.—The importance
of the fighting ir. Macedonia is dilti
cult to exaggerate, regardless of tlie
extent of the Entente gains and
the brilliant advance made in this
theater of war. The fact that these
activities will require a consider
able force of Austrian or German
troops to reinforce the Bulgars
in withstanding is the main tactical
value of the movement.
Tit evening reports even indicat >
that many troops are be
ing received by the Bulgars
from tiic Itumanian and other
fronts.
LEXINGTON, Ky„ Aug. 10.—The

five of the largest operators and
combinations of operators signed a
contract with the United Mine
Workers of America giving fifteen
thousand men employed by them

It is believed that the smaller ope

SERIOUS STORY IS
TOLO AIOUT ARREST
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.—
Patrick Farrelly, United States Im
migration Inspector was arrested
here today.
The arrest has cause! ctnsider
able >/.'itement which is heightened
by the story told in the papers as
| the real solution of the mystery,
’ with what accuracy is nor known.
The technical charge against Far
relly is .o bribe an army officer with
whom Farrelly was familiar.
The papers claim that the real
mystery behind the arrest is that
Farrelly was part or a system of
spys and his attempted bribe was
, really an effort to make the army
man betray the manner of packing
bombs and their distribution at Fort
M’Dowell, Angels Island.
There is certainly a real mystery
behind this arrest, but the officials
who made it are not giving out any
excess information at the present
time.

regarded very optimistically by
many Irishmen.
It is believed 1 lint the election of!
a noted Sein Feinner for County
Clare, in a recent. bye-election
against the efforts of the National

nominee has so lowered the Ited
mondite prestige that it will make
the convention in the words of tho
London Chronicle more or less a
farce.
