? ontln.ir.l from ptfe 1
egic. in that the Bulgarians are thus
outflanked from 'heir positions south
of the pass, A Sal?nica dispatch to?
night, however, ? I I ths Bulgais
hav? succeeded in retaking the town.
The British and French troops, which
are receiving reinforcement
meeting with some iccess, snd be?
sides repulsing ths Bulgarian attacha
have undertaken small offensive nieve?
monta with good resulta. The Austro*
Germans arid Bulgarian?, however,
made such progress from the begin?
ning of the campaign that it will taka
serious work now to check them.
In view of the pr?sent political situ?
ation in Greece, the attitude of King
Constantin? to the protest which the
Central Powers have repeated on the
landing of Allied troop? at Sal?nica is
being followed lure with the keenest
interest.
King Constantino is reported to have
replied to the representations of the
Teuton ministers that as Sal?nica was
an open port there had been no in?
fringement of Greek lights in the
landing, and that Greece would remain
neutral until one of the belligerent?
had transgressed against those right?.
An Athens dispatch to "The Times"
says that it now seems certain the
Greek government has confirmed the
attitude which it will adopt if the Al?
lied troops should be forced out <>f
Serbian territory across the Greek
frontier. The Entente powers have
been eaourod that Greece has no in?
tention of departing from her Rttitttdc
of cordial friendliness or of giving any
eaUS? for Offence. There are indica?
tions thai the Entonta powers consider
these declarations as adequate.

We had walked through Ablain, St.

Poor Ablain was taken house by house.
What was left of it was a few sections
of walls standing shoulder high.
Ahead of us was Souehet, the scene of
more house to house lighting, and its
late was ?till worse than that of
Ablain. It was levelled to the ground.
Not. even a section of the walls was
standing. We came t<-> former German
trenches now occupied by happy
Frenchmen, and climbed through deep,
soft mud to what had been the quar?
ters of the German commander, but
wai now th? home of a French captain
and two lieutenants.
There we lived deep underground.

If they had been able to hold that
salient, the work of the French would
have boon minimised. The German of
kcpt their men at their work
with the mighty effort <>f despair. In
the fit -? days of the battle one lone
Frenchman had ?urged into the Ger?
man trenches at Res Cinq Chemin?,
and when his comrades joined him
three days later he told a graphic story
of German soldierR weeping and beg?
ging to be allowed to surrender, whilo
the officers with drawn revolvers drove
th"m into the fight.
That was the last point to bt taken.
With the fall of Res Cinq Chemins the
Germans lo.?t their last footing on the
Artois hills and wore over the Crete ?le
Vimy, on the edge of the Plain of Douai.
The French lines now run from Giv?
enchy to Ana?, along the western
slope of Crete de Vimy, While the Ger?
man lines, bidden from the French by
the crest of the hill, are on the eastern
slope. \
Givenchy and Arra? are th? two
anchors of the French lines. Arras is
firmly held, with the French lines n?ar
lv two kilometres to the east. The
Preach and German lines 'ouch in Giv?
enchy. On its eastern side Givenchy
projects beyond the Crete de Vimy and
debouches on to the Plain of ln.ua .
The French came down from Notre
llame de Roretie. and turned the Ger?
mans out of Ablain, came from Mont
St. Eloi and turned them out of Caten*
cy, seized La Targette by a frontal
attack and, in a great pitched battle
along the whole western face of the
Crete de Vimy, threw the Germans
clear back over the crest and sent them
flying across the Plain of Douai.
But instead of that great cost in
blood, the French big guns pound
iteadliy night and day at the German
lines and hold ;he German soldiers
close ir, their trenches, while steadily,
night and day, yard by yard, the French
seize Givenchy, and, in the simple
words of an officer of th? French ("en?
crai Staff, 'When wo get Givoachy the
Germans will have to go away. And
they cannot stop on the Plain of Douai.
They will have to go much farther."

Officials Say Neither Side Has
Made Peace Proposals.
Rome, Nov. 13 'via Paris, Nov. 14).?
Tha assertion made in various quarters
recently that Emperor William had
written to Pope Benedict asking him
to obtain a truce from the Allies was
emphatically denied to-day.
Vatican officials declared that neither
side had maile any representations to
the Pontiff looking for peace. They
added that no negotations for peace
were taking place, and that there was
no probability that pourparlers for
peace would be started.
A dispatch from Roma last Monday
credited the "Giornale <1'Italia" with
?h.- statement, that a mysterious envoy
from the ruler of one of the belligerent
nations was in Rome. His mission, it
was added, had not been accomplished,
ami it was not known whether he was
awaiting a reply from the Vatican or
order? from his chief.

THOUSANDS of these Lamps have been

of them in Manhattan and the Bronx a
month ago. At times we could not supply
the demand.
Plenty Now for Everyone
The "C.E-Z" gives you
FOUR HOURS OF LIGHT FOR 1 CENT
The three mantles are each about the size of a thimble and are
practically indestructible. They will not break when you are
adjusting them.
When our representative calls on you, kindly permit him to adju.st a "C. E-Z" to one of your fix?
tures. You are not obligated to purchase it. Should you keep it pay our representative $1.50 in
full or pay 50 cents to him and 50 cents next month and the following month when you pay your
gas bill. The "flat" or open-flame burner consumes twice as much gas as does the "C. E-Z" and
only gives you one-third as much light. There is no chimney on the "C. E-Z".
