Drives Russ Back Berlln, November 4.—General Boyadjieff’s first Bulgarian army is only six miles from Nish, former capital of Serbia. The German War Office officially announced to-day that the Bulgars have stormed Kalafat, six miles northeast of Nish. Six hundred and fifty Serbian soldiers have been captured in the fighting north of Kraljevo. In the eastern theater of war, Field Marshal Von Hindenburg’s army has turned upon the Russians in the sector of Dvinsk and forced them out of Mikulisohki, which they had occupied on Tuesday. . ' In the Western theater of war the Germans have taken 800 yards of French trenches north of Massiges, in Champagne. |, DAY'S DEVELOPMENTS | IN THE WORLD-WAR. Greece has again taken her place as the central point of interest 1 the Balkans. The cabinet of Alexander Zaimis bas fullen, and ap parently ex-Premier Eleutherios Venizelos is once more in the ascen dancy. ; Skl Dissolution of the Greek Parliament is talked of, . Kinz Constan tine still holds the reins of bower and his attitude, always strongly neutral, has not heen defined. So far as known he has not accepted the resignation of the Zaimis ministry and it may be that the Premier will be induced to retrain office, or that some man other than M. ‘Vvenizelosi }will be asked to fgrm a new cabinet, ‘ T de}y "gtbe Greek government, however, is considered in London as #+ hening the position of the Enténte powers in the %Balkans. b ' : | | Although the Austro-Germans are still advancing in Serbia and Ithe Bulgarians also are making progress in some sections, the latter ’bave been balted at three placesy: . . _ ; | - * BULGARS'RETREATING -~ : ] - To the east of Nish the Bulgarians are retiring upon Dela Palanka Down in the southeast, near' Strumitsa,’ uuqfi‘éfil ‘advices say they have been engaged by the French in an artillery duel,” and in the Babuna Pass the Serbians are repelling their furious assaults. Y The Bulgarians, however, are only a few miles to the northeast of Nish, the capture of which would give the central powers an ex cellent point of advantage for the despatch of arms and munitions to the Turks and fer operating southward against the oncoming Briush and Frezch forces. - - ‘ The report that Russian forces have been landed at ‘Varna is de hied in an unofficial message from Petrograd. But the British and French continue sending troops to Saloniki to be despatched to the aid iof -Serbia.. ‘ RESUME OFFENSIVE The Germans near Dvinsk again have resumed the offensive and recaptured from the Russians the town of Mikulischki and the other positions which the Germans had been forced to evacuate in the force of superior numbers. The Russians,dhowever, are still attacking along the Stripa river and around the village of Sienikowize, 1n Galicia. Vienna asserts that the fighting in both regions is going in favor of the Teutons and that near Sieniekowice they have captured 3,000 Russians. The French and Germans are at grips in Champagne, where at tacks on certain trenches have been going on constantly for several days, with a frequent shifting of fortune. Otherwise artillery en gagements have predominated along the line in France and Belgium. THRICE-A-WEEK Tobacco Experts In THESESSS City to Encourage Bifiating Mr. C. H.
