it appears that the Bugarians plan ; to sejze the railroad cn this side and separate the Serbian army from the | Allied troops coming up irom \u2018Sato- ! niki, and then turn towards the north

with growing impatience.\u201d CREECE WARMING UP TO THE ALLIES KING WILL GO TO SALONIKI \u2014RUMANIA 1S EXPECTED SOON.Athens, Oct, 17, via Paris.\u2014 The energetic action of the Entente Allies ami the opening of actual lostilities between Bulgaria and Serbia appar- enty is rapidly modifying the attitude of the Greek anti-war party.There is credible authority for the statement that King Constantine is preparing to go to Saloniki in the mear fnture, and it is said in ercles usually well informed that Greece wil, abandon her attitude of neutrality as soon as the concentration of troops in completed and army arrangements oerfected.The impression prevails that Rumania also will shortly ally herself with the Entente powers.EIGHT GERMAN TRAWLERS CAPTURED.London.Oct.i7\u20142.00 a.m\u2014 Eight German trawler: were brought into Grimaby on October 2nd and thirteen were brought in on October 9th.They were engaged in fishing and not in mine laying.The thirteen trawlers had cargoes of fish which they sold at Grimsby.The crews were interned, i smoke and shells.\u201cback of the British positions.From a vantage point in the flat country was witnessed a stupendous panorama of artillery preparation and glimpses of infantry rushing through So rapid was the fire that an effort t> count the number of audible shots per minute from the British guns failed.In front, to the right and leit, and far in the rear guns flashed and scattered shells over the landscape.À second\u2019s lull in the firing hy the batteries in the immediate neighborhood was filled by those farther away.The line of both tke British and German trenches was discernible in long clouds of smoke and dust from bursting shells.That of the German artillery seemed smaller in volume.No shells were seen bursting in Loos itself which appeared peaceful now For this tremendous concentration was restricted to à narrow theatre, agairse the frontal positions of the opposing side.London, Oct.17\u2014Although there is very heavy fighting at some points «long the eastern front as well as in the west, the Austro-German and Bulgarian invasions of Serbia and the efforts of the British and French Generals to bring help to their betle ally before it is too late continue to occupy the chief atten.ticn of the people of the belligerent countries.\u2018The Serbians are being helped by the weather, which is cold and winter-like.The rains have set in and are impeding the movement of troops and guns, which, at the best, must be slow over what answer for roads in the Balkan states.\u2018The Germans, however, claim to have taken the heights south of Belgrade, while along the Danube the army of General Von Gallwitz is pushing the Serbians back.The Bulgarians also lay claim to a rapid advance into Macedonia, although the French are already reported to be in contact with them at Gievgeli, while both the French and British continue to land troops at Saloniki.Neither Russian nor Italian assistance has yet developed, but the Italians have begun a more vigorous offensive along their frontier, and have captured Pregasina, an important advanced point of the fortified Riva group on Lake Garda.This will be of indirect aid to Serbia, preventing, as it does, the movement of any more Austrian troops from that frontier.The Germans have taken the offensive south of Riga and forced the Russians out of their positions, capturing a large number of prisoners and some guns.On the rest of the eastern front the offensive remains in the hands of the Russians, who are attacking west of Dvinsk, in the centre and to the south of the Pripet river.On the whole, it appears to observers here as if the Germans were satisfied merely to hold their present line, except in the north, where they have made repeated attempts to take Dviask.This would mean the fall of Riga and would compel the Russians to withdraw behind the Dvina river.This ambi- tien has already cost the Germans many thousands of men, but they keep on trying, first in the north, then in the south and then on the Dvinsk front.At present their attacks are developing the greatest force in the north.\u2019 There is somewhat of a lull in Flanders and Champagne on the western front\u2014probably the calm before another storm of shells.Activity, for the moment, has been transferred to Lorraine, where the French report the capture of a trench north of Rcillon, and to the Vosges, where the Germans have again withdrawn from Hartmans-Weilerkopf, which has changed hands many times.A despatch to the Journal de Paris from Athens says it is reported here that the British besides landing at Saloniki, will operate along the Bulgarian-Turkish coast at Dedeaghatch and Enos, from which points quick access may be had to the route It was a warm and periect autumn day.a bright sun shining and play- ! ing into a nimbus in the sky.which gave the aeroplanes cover, and into | * the
