' ‘THE MINER WAR BULLETINS

{ MONDAY, AUGUST 21

London: The long- expected
offensive on the Saloniki front
has opened and a grand assault
against the central powers is now
in progress in every theater of
-the world war. General Sarrail
is attacking the Bulgar-German
forces along the entire Grzeco-
Servian frontier, a distance of
more than 150 miles. Reports
from Berlin and Paris indicate
that the Entente Allies are fol-
lowing the same tactics in the
Balkans that signalized the open-
ing of the great offensive on the
Somme, Small hodies of troops
are attacking at numerous points
along the Bulgarian line, appar-
ently with the intention of feel-
ing out their opponent's position
before the real battle opens,

The French report the capture
of a number of villages in the
initial phases of the offensive.

Saloniki: Italian troops are
disembarking to take part in the
Balkan offensive.

Bulgarians in Macedonia.

troops from 18 villages on the
frontier,

London: Trawlers arriving at
Ymuiden, Holland, report seeing
yesterday a German squadron of
fifteen warships, including large
cruisers and accompanied by two
zeppeling, Theships held a north-
westerly course, off Whitebank,
but returned to port to avoid
British warships, which appeared
in considerable strength.

Two British light eruisers, the
Nottingham and Falmouth,: were
torpedoed on Saturday. The loss
of life was small.

London: The week-end fight-

ing was most successful’ for the
British, We captured 1000 offi-
cers and men, many machine guns
and large quantities of material,
Our advance was on a front of 11]:
miles, capturing the ridge over-
looking Thiepval, high ground
north of Pozieres,and half a mile
of trenches west of High wood.
.We advanced ourline half way to
Ginchy and to the edge of Guille-
mont, where we hold the outskirts
of the village, including the rai}:
way station and the quarry, of
considerablé military importance.
' Today we made a further ad-
vance on both sides of the Pozi-
eres-Bapaume road, The enemy's
artillery bombarded our position,
but there have been no infantry
attacks on our line.

Enemy guns shelled our front
- from east of Vierstad to. Yprés
and the Comines canal, and also
in the vicinity of Hill 60 and
Verdander Molen.

Fierce fighting continues in the

and the German salient at Pinsk.

Paris: On the right bank of
the’ Meuse (Verdun sector) last
night the Germans delivered a
violent attack on Fleury, accom-
panied by’ the use of flaming
liquids, Our curtain of artillery
and infantry fire forced the en-
emy to stop short, and inflicted
serious losses on him.
During the night there were
violent artillery actions along.
the Somme front. '

London: There are no further
details of the operations along the
Allied front near Saloniki. Im-
mediately following the arrival of
the Italian troops,a Russian brig-
ade has-landed at Saloniki to take
part in the Balkan campaign.
The Bulgarian occupation of
Florina has caused consternation
in Athens,resulting in hasty con-
ferences between the King and
general staff and members of the
cabinet, The advance of German
and Bulgarian forces toward Ka-
vala is also causing disquietamong
the Greeks. The impression
prevails that this movement ‘is a
mere political maneuver, caleu-
lated to influence Roumania and
affect the Greek election.
London: A despatch from Ath-
ens says the Greeks have been
fighting the Bulgarian troops
since Sunday.
A Berlin paper declares that
Roumania has already joined the
