The same correspondent telegraphs that
a great battle extending over ah area
of fifty miles Is being fought north of
Salonlki, where '80,000 Greeks are opposed
to 100,000 Bulgarians. The Bulgarians

Inducing the Greeks to take the offensive.
The bait was taken and the battle wa

Greeks are now threatened by an out
flanking attack by a column of 50,000
Bulgarians advancing from the south ot

Twenty-eight persons were drowned,
five persons were killed in automobile

This count, being made from the com
paratively few reports of minor, trage

the gunpowder accidents of the day.
The list of drowning accidents, known
definitely to be as many as twenty-eight,
Is probably far from the correct total.
Such tragedies are so frequent that un

the accidents aro not reported. In this
city and vicinity, alone, there were ten
