Allies Great Victory
Along Balkan Front
PARIS, Sept. 15.—The Allies
3iave won a great and decisive vic
tory over the Bulgars in Macedonia.
The Servian troops in their offen
sive compelled the Bulgars to retire
ten miles and that in a state of
panic; in pursuit of the fleeing Bul
gars they captured Okesu and with
brilliant bayonet charges they scal
ed and captured the Caruitichvo and
Markan ridges.
The British captured Matcliokevo
and two heights to the northward,

drive through Serbia last year is
now planning another mighty offen
sive on the A'ardar where he is
superintending the concentration of
;he troops of the Central Powers
ind their Allies the Turks and the
Bulgars in a determined effort to
;rush the Allies in the Hellenic

SUFFERED GREAT MANY
PRIVATIONS REPORT GREEKS
ATHENS, Sept. 15.—War or re
volt is certain although the diplo
mats of the Central Powers acting
in collusion with the King are en
deavoring to delay the entry into
the war, assuring the people that
they only court disaster. Refugees
arrived at Hense today from Kavala
and report the greatest suffering
on the Island of Thrasos where
many refugees fled when the Bul
gars entered Kavala.
On September 10 the Bulgars ent
ered Kavala ordering three full re-«
giments of Greek troops to surrend
er which they did without demur.
The soldiers believed that they
would be .merely disarmed but to
their consternation they were made
prisoners of war, thus bringing the
total up to a large figure.
BERLIN, Sept. 15.—The entire
Greek army corps captured when
the Bulgars took possessison of Ka
vala is now en route to Germany
where they w^ll be held as prisoners
until after the war.
ATHENS, Sept. 15.—The people
are infuriated at the treatment of
the greek soldiers captured by Bul
garia and are claimoring for war.
The Allied powers have ceased urg- ;
ing Greece to accept an alliance and
now appear quite indifferent.

HUGHES POLITICAL REMARKS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 15.— I
The charge made by James Hamil
ton Lewis that Charles Evans
Hughes has been quietly hinting
that if elected president he will
bring Mexico to time for the purpose
of aiding the interventionist inter
ests in preventing the Mexican peace

one of the many hot shots which are
being directed against the former
Supreme Justice. Echoing the

"The Butterfly” is said to have
been one of the best serials that
ever made good in the pages of the
Saturday Evening Post. It is a
stirring novel by H. K. Webster and
the Shubert people with lynx eyes
for the fitting in photoplaydom,
have quickly availed themselves of
its dramatic qualities to feature
their two wonderful Stars Howard
Estabrooke and Barbara Tennant in
the leading roles and will be thrown
on the screen at the Eagle shows on
Sunday night. Homicide, lunacy,
love and passion with the dance and
the stage all brought Into dramatic
relief by the clever screening of this
brilliant plot, the most has been
made of a wonderful story to de
light and charm movie goers who
have learned to identify the Shub

a dull scene in the play, while the

REPORTED BURNING OF
PACIFIC COAST LINER.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.—
The burning of the Pacific Coast S.
S. Co’s liner Congress which occur
red this morning Off the coast of
Oregon when en route to Seattle is
reported to be a complete mystery,
none of the officers so far making a
statement which would throw light
upon the matter. The fire was
discovered on the night of Septem
ber 14 and it was believed that it
would be controlled. It had how
ever been smoldering for some time
and when an effort was made to
reach the burning material to get
steam into the hold, it broke out
beyond all control and necessitated
the abandonment of the vessel. The
passengers have been saved and sent
to their destination. The officers are
arriving here this evening.
Republicans should remember
that the number of Delegates to go
to the next Territorial Convention is
based upon the vote cast for At*
torney General.

British Columbia Is
Now Suffrage Province
VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. 15.— :
rhe elections throughout the pro
rince ot British Columbia ‘were re
markable ior being a liberal land
slide notwithstanding the fact that
the conservatives made the war an
issue in their support.
The most radical feature of the
election however is the liquor vote
which went down in crushing de
feat before the forces of the drys.
The referendum has decided that
the Province of British Columbia
will go dry on and after July 1917,
the last month wherein booze can
be sold.
Another remarkable victory In the
election was the triumph of the
suffragettes over the antis, the suff
ragetets winning by a vote almost
identical to that cast for the Drys.
Liquor men were quite certain
that British Columbit would not go
dry and many saloonists who started
up in business here since the state
of Washington went dry helped the
cause of the liquor interests by or
ganizing a powerful campaign so
that it could not go by default.
These men are greatly disappointed.
The change in ministry will be
; popular as the people have long
since been sick of the sanctimonious
conservatism of the Premier al
though there is nothing to show
that the liberals are any better.
The suffragettes and drys aro
both celebrating their victory to
night.

CARRANZA DECREES THE
ELECTION FOR OCTOBER
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 15.—Presi
dent Carranza issued a decree today
calling for a general election for the
Mexican Congress to be held upon

imultaneous with the call is the
nnouncement from the American
ide of the line that Villa has been
icated again.
The report traced down does not
ome from Mexicon sources, and a
Chihuahua dispatch says that tho
report is received to that effect from
American sources and is evidently
not known of locally.
The report is causing a renewal
of the border apprehension and
means that Pershing will not with
draw his troops for some time.

Mexicans doubt the report.
RUSSIANS PLAN
FLANK AT
PETROGRAD, Sept. 15.—Many
additional divisions of Russian
troops have begun pouring into Ru
mania from Bessarabia, to assist the
Rumanians in their fighting. The
Rumanians have practically ceased
an offensive while they concentrate
their troops for a flanking attack
upon the Bulgars with the co-opera
tion of one of the finest armies that
Russia has as yet placed in the
field. All railroads leading to Ru
mania from Russia are now densely
worked, carrying troops and muni

PROBING ACCIDENT.
QUEBEC, Sept. 12.—The Bridge
Commission is now probing the ac
cident to the great cantilever bridge
which involved the death of so
many. Eleven died today of injuries
sustained when the span collapsed.
The testimony of eye witnesses of
fered to the commission today was
of a very conflicting nature. No two
gave an exactly similar account.
Bridge engineers state that the
replacement of the span will cost a
million dollars, but that it will be
re-built immediately.
There appears to be an impression
among the bridge men that there
was some gross negligence upon the
part of the supervising officials, and
this is reflected in the papers.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 15.—With
the night’s electrical announcement
of the British conquest of Flers,
within the third trench lines and
heavily protected with bastioned
defenses, the attention of the mili
I tary critics is drawn to the rapid
envelopment of the Germans at
Combles, Peronne and east of Mi
raumont which the British now
i hold. The capture of the railroad
at Bapaume cuts off an enormous
section of German troops from di
rect railroad connection with their
rear and will hamper all operations.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.—
Tbe Star of Chili from Bristol Bay,
Alaska, with the season’s pack and
two hundred cannery men mostly
orientals on board sends an S. O. S.
signal as aground off Pedro. The Al

less in search of the ship but the
tug has signalled that so far they
have been unable to discover the

a heavy fog all along the coast
