SOFIA ATTITUDE INTERESTS
PARIS, April 4. The relit Jour
nal says that Serbia has protested to
Bulgaria because rf the invasion of
Serbian territory by a force described
as Bulgarian Irregulars. ' While!
couched in moderate terms, the pro
test is said to request the arrest and
imprisonment of the persona respon
sible for the raid.
Further details of the incident re
ceived today confirm the report that
the invaders were driven away from
the railroad station at Strumltsa.
the Serbian town near the Bulgarian
border, where the attack was made.
The railway station master at
Strumltsa reports that the line of
Ghevghell In now clear of the raiders
and apparently has not been dam

Herblan frontier guards who pursued
the fleeing Irregutars retook the two can
nons which hsd been captured.
Six bodies were found In the rsllway
station at Strumltsa. The extent of the
losses inflicted upon the attacking force
Is unknown, but Is believed to be large.
Thirty bodies were found and. the raiders
themselves picked up and burled a num
ber of others.
This is said to be the fifth Incident of
Its kind since the beginning of the Euro-
pesn wsr and there Is much speculation
In Paris ss to their ekact significance. It
la felt that the attitude of Bulgaria on
this occasion will Indies to what policy It
Intends to pursue.
Tho Hsvss Agency received todsy from
NlHh, Serbia, s dlnpatcli saying that the
losses of , thi Berblsn troops were- sixty

ROME, April 4.-(Vla Paris.) D. RUow,

the opinion today that the Incident on
the Serbo-Bulgarlan border was the work
of Macedonian revolutionists ' In Serbia,
who are opposed to the Serbian regime
in the 'territory gained In the Balkan
wars, In which the fighting occurred.
M. Rlsow asserted that the Bulgarian
government was tn no way responsible

gary to support the Austrian armies,
which are being hard pressed by the
Russians in the passes of the Car
pathian mountains; and are also, ac
cording to dispatches from Holland,
again sending men from Belgium to
strengthen their eastern front where
the Russians have taken the offen

" r Repnlse Anstrlasi Attacks. - -i
Seemingly the Russians have bad, con?
sldnrable success, for the .official reports
announce the repulse of Autgrtsn attacks
nesr Mesolsborcs, which .is due south of
Lupkow pass and . west of Usnok pass,
and continued progress In the region of
the latter pass and west of Uasok pass,
despite the stubborn resistance of t!ie
Austrians. '
. On April 1 the Russians claim to have
taken prisoners 100 officers and 7,000 men
snd to have captured ten machine guns.
Austrian correspondents -view this on
slaught with misgiving and in their dluJ
patches) give it pre cod on oe over the battle
In Bukowlns. where the Austrians a few
days " ago' took the "offensive, .and pene
trated into Bessarabia,- but have Sines,
according to Russian reports, been de
feated. -.............
. There Is no change in Poland, but the
movement of German troops from Bel
gium esstward indicates that, their gen

the Rtipslnns along the Bast Prussian
frontier snd In the central portion of tho
old kingdom.
They Feel . Secure.
Having fortified the whole, of Belgium
and having recently opened ' the sluices,
extending the floods In Flanders, it .is
possible that they feel secure or do not
anticipate that the allies will make their
effort for some weeks yet.
At sny rste they have, say Dutch cor
respondents, depleted tho garrisons In
Belgium snd have sctually withdrawn
men from the Yser front.
Beyond thin, there Is little news from
the western theater of operations. . The
French,' however, contlnuo their attempt
to dislodge the Germans from the forest
of Lepretre, in the hope that this will
compel them to evacuate St. Mlhlel.
Not much importance is attached in
London to the raid by Bulgarian Irregu
lars into Kcrbla- These raids are con
tinually taking place, the only difference
being that the latest no was carried out
with greater force and was aimed at tho
railway from Uakup to ealonikl. The ar
rival of Serbian reinforcements compelled
the Bulgarians to retire to their own fron
tier, not, however, before considerable
losses were suffered by both sides.
