ITALIAN TROOPS LANDED Bulgarians and Their Teuton Allies " Meanwhile Do Not Relax Pres- sure and They Drive Serbs Back at One Point. BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER. (War Correspondent of the New Tork Tribune. By Special Cable.) LONDON, Aug. 21 (Special.) The allied forces at Saloniki have advanced to the attack along the entire front. With the preliminary work, the shell ing of the Teuton lines and the thrusts probing for weak spots completed, the general assault has begun and the .fourth great offensive of the allies Is now well under way. In a joint push forward, the Serbs, operating on the left wing, south of Monastir. and the Anglo-French forces, operating in the center and on the right, moved forward today. The Serbs won the Bulgarian first line on the Greek border, southeast of Monastir, while the allied armies crossed the Struma, east of Saloniki, and estab lished themselves firmly on the right bank. Serbs Forced to Yield. Meanwhile the Bulgarians and their Teutonic allies have not relaxed the pressure on both wings of the 150-mile line. They forced the Serbs to yield more ground southwest of Monastir and drove their line to within seven miles of the Greek port of Kavala, on the extreme eastern wing. The allied drive has begun to move forward in earnest. To the troops estimated at more than 700,000 mo bilized at Saloniki, have been added Italian forces. Of their number Lon don has no word yet but the mere fact that they have been landed at Gen eral Sarrail's base Indicates the scale on which the Balkan operation is to proceed and points once more to unity of action among the allies. Along three roads the allied forces ere now moving forward. The Serbs are pushing toward Monastir, supply ing their front with the Saloniki-Mon-astir railway. The main allied oper ation is along the Vardar Valley, fol lowing the line of the railway that runs north from Saloniki directly to Nish, the center of the link between "Berlin and Constantinople. A third allied army Is moving along the rail way which follows the Aegean coast line toward Adrianople. Bulgarian Counter Hove Vigorous. The Serb advance must reckon with a vigorous Bulgar counter move. Czar Ferdinand's forces, continuing their ad vance from Fiorina, have occupied both the important height of Vichi and the town of Banica. But the Serbs, strik ing against the Bulgar lines further fast, were able to break through to day and have now reached the border of Serbia. This blow flanks the Bulgar force in the Fiorina sector. When it is forced back the Seros will be ready to advance on the railway leading directly to Monastir. Along the Vardar a heavy artillery duel Is in progress. The allies bave been busy consolidating the ground they won between Lake Doiran and the railway. In this sector they are pre pared to make their greatest effort, but it is probable that no strong thrust will be attempted until the right wing moves farther forward. A furious battle is now in progress fast of the Struma. The allies have forced the river and have engaged the Teutonic forces on a line extending from Demirhisser to Seres. Barak 11, five miles south of Demirhisser. is the center of the struggle. Teuton Forces' Occupy Plain. Farther east the Tettton advance continues. Pushing forward toward Kavala, the German forces have occu pied the plain. They encountered no opposition, for the Greeks retired southward and westward. An allied advance along the Salonikl Adrianople line will put the flank f this force lr danger. The Bulgar seizure of Fiorina and the advance on Kavala have alarmed the Greek government. Despite re newed assurances from the German and Bulgarian envoys at Athens that the invaded country will be restored at the end of the war. the Greeks view the advance of Czar Ferdinand's army with alarm. The King, the general staff and the cabinet are in constant conference, according to reports from the Greek capital. Saloniki gave a hearty welcome to the Italian forces. While the people cheered and the allied bands played the Italians marched through to camp. Lon don believes this move means also the opening of an offensive by the Italian forces at Valona. BATTLE IS OX COXTIXTJALIiY Periods Called Lulls Turn Out to Be Full of Fighting. PBTROGRAD. via London. Aug. 21. The feature of the fighting in the Russian campaign, which broke. Dut like a tempest on the southwestern front more than two monus and a half ago, is Its almost continuous na ture. Except for brief interludes for consolidating positions or changing the direction of attack, it has been like one great sustained battle. . Periods like the present, "described as "lulls," usually have turned out to be crowded with intense fighting, whose details it has been the consistent policy of the Russian staff to hold secret until the operations are ended. It is impossible to say whether the Russian attack on Kovel from the fctokhod region continues with its or iginal energv, but the belief seems to prevail here that the discovery of a. series of strong German fortifications protecting Kovel from. the east led the Russian staff to base Its hopes on taking the city by strong flank at tacks, which now are developing. r iNew Houston Hotel Sixth and Everett Streets, Four Blocks From Union Station.

Aug. 2L The text of to day's British official report Is: "After a heavy bombardment three hostile bombing attacks were made this morning on High Wood. All were easily repulsed. "North of High Wood some of our covering patrols withdrew before strong detachments of the enemy, but these detachments were unable to make any programs when they came under fire from our positions west of the wood. "During the night we effectively shelled portions of the enemy's posi tion, while the enemy bombarded our trenches' in the vicinity of Pozieres and the area northeast of Conta lmai son, using gas shells freely. "Northeast of Hullucb and east of Le Plantin the enemy attempted to raid our trenches. These raids were driven back with loss to the enemy, who only succeeded In reaching our lines at one point, from which he was quickly driven out again. "Near Givenchy the enemy exploded a mine near one of our forward saps, but caused us no casualties, and we made use of the crater as a defensive post. Further north we liberated gas against the enemy's position at two places." Austrian. BERLIN, -Aug. 21, by wireless to Sayville, N. Y. Operations on the Aus-tro-Italian front are recorded in the Austrian headquarters statement of August J 9 as follows: "The conditions on the coastal front yesterday were rather quiet.

"During the night there were violent artillery actions on the Somme front. "On the right bank of the Meuse the Germans yesterday delivered a puff at tack, accompanied 'by the use of nam ing liquids, against Fleury. Our cur tain of fire and infantry fire obliged the enemy to stop short, and Inflicted serious losses on him." Russian. PETROGRAD.-via London, Aug. 21. The Russians are pressing forward vigorously through two of the Car pathian passes which lead to Hungary. The capture of Jablonitza and Feres kul, on the boundary between Galicia and Bukowina, is announced. "In the region of Kuty," the state ment says, "we occupied the villages of Fereskul and Jablonitza on the River Cheremosh, and several heights west of Fereskul.

TROOP RIDING IS ROUGH Men Treated to Series of Exhibi tions When Sunfish King Is Put Through Paces Again Condi tion of Trooper Dunn Good. BY WILL O. MAC RAE. CAMP BALBOA. San Diego. Aug. 21. (Special.) It is rumored today that the men of the Third Oregon are to be instructed in bomb-throwing. Ten thousand bombs of the hand-grenade type are said to have been shipped with other ammunition. According to this rumor, the War Department has decided to use two kinds of explosives and illuminating grenades. One will be a hand grenade; the other is fired from the end of the rifle. The illuminating bomb, when fired in the air, explodes, releasing a parachute, from which is suspended a brilliant light, which illu minates the terrain for more than half a mile. An extra hour of drill was given tbe ties were shot down by our Infantry and machine gun fire. "'Numerous undertakings attempted by reconnoitering detachments of the enemy, were without result. Attacks by German patrols north of Vermelles and near Festubert and Embergell were successful. In the Argonne lively mining operations were carried out on both aides. By the explosion of a mine we destroyed a considerable portion of the enemy's position on the Combres height." Italian. ROME, via London, Aug. 21. The Italians east of Gorizia and on the Carso plateau are holding fast to the ground won. according to today's War Office statement, which says: "Violent thunder storms throughout the theater of operations did 'not re sult in the conclusion of artillery ac tivity. The enemy's batteries were especially active on the Trentino front and in the Upper But Valley. "Minor enemy attacks in the Astlco Valley and In the Plavla area were repulsed. "In the Gorizia area and on the Carso our troops are consolidating the positions they recently occupied." Turkish. BERLIN. Aug. 21 (By wireless to Sayville. N. T.) "The left wing of the Turkish forces In Persia has thrust back still further the Russian troops, which were driven eastward to the frontier In the region of Revanduz," says an official Turkish communica tion received here today. "The Russians withdrew toward Sandshoulak and Unshu. pursued by our troops," the statement says. "On the Caucasian front we captured In a surprise attack the height of Kuram ish. 17 miles northeast of Mush." Germans on Eastern Front. BERLIN, via London. Aug. 21. Aus-tro-German forces have gained grouml and repulsed Russian attacks in the Carpathians, according to an official statement today, which says: "In the Carpathians we have taken Steapan&kl Height, west of the Charny Cheremosh Valley. Both here and on Kreta Height Russian counter attacks were repulsed. "In storming Kreta Height on Sat urday we captured two officers, 188 men and five machine guns. The Russian forces which crossed the Stokhod River In Volhynia last week made repeated attempts yester day to extend their positions. These efforts, the War Office announced to day, were repulsed. The statement eays: "On the Stokhod Russian attacks southwest of Lubieszcow failed. Re peated attempts of the enemy with strong forces to extend his position on the western bank of the river near Rudka-Chervische were repulsed with eevere losses." Monday's War Moves THE great offensive opened by the allies Sunday on the Saloniki front is developing, but no decisive action has been fought. The British and French advancing on the right have crossed the Struma, pushing north eastward toward the Bulgarian fron tier. At the same time the Serbians, who have openod a drive for Monastir, report the capture of Bulgarian first line trenches. On the extreme left, however. Immediately south of Mona stir. they have suffered a reverse and bave evacuated the Greek town of Banicia. In the center, the mouth of the great valley of the Vardar. the main high way through Serbia, violent artillery action is In progress. It was down this valley that the Teuion-Bulgarian forces made their victorious advance, ana ac cording to military experts Its pos session Is vital to whoever holds Serbia. Reports from Saloniki say that Ital ian troops have landed there and will Join in the general offensive. This, if corroborated, means that Italy nas de cided formally to declare war on Ger many, as -the Germans are admittedly directing the Bulgarian campaign. At certain points on the front, Berlin re ports the Bulgarians on the offensive, but London and Pans interpret this as a move for political purposes and not as a serious attack against Sal oniki. A desire to affect public opin ion in Rauraania and to influence the approaching Greek elections, is the motive behind Bulgaria's aggressive action. In the opinion of the allied capi tals. Fierce fighting continues in the re gion of tbe Stokhod, on the eastern front, where the Russian advance menaces Kovel and the German salient at Pinsk. The battle on the crest of the Carpathians also rages, both sides claiming minor successes. On the western front there has been no material change in the situation since the allies started their great at tack Friday. German counter-attacks made at several points along the British lines, according to London, met with no success. The Germans also have made a powerful effort to recapture Fleury, in the Verdun sector, but Paris, reports & complete repulse. The repeated unofficial reports that Portugal was about to take an active share on the European battlefield ap parently are confirmed by an an- ijuu,., vmtjiL i hi i.i iuai a.

GREAT DUGOUTS .CAPTy RED Dramatic and Successful Incident of Drive on Somjio Front De scribed German Defenses Made Thoroughly. WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. Aug. 19. via. London. Aug. 20. What two battalions did and how they did it was the most thrilling In cident of the last 24 hours of sensa tional fighting from the Ancre to the Somme. They struggle on in freakish August weather with alternate cloud bursts and flashes of lightning, rain bows and sunshine. All alonir the line from the south of the Ancre the British left tfielr trenches while the French were hard at it on their right. The time chosen was S o'cldCk yesterday afternoon while the big attacks of July 1 and 1 were in the early morning. Two battalions were on the lert wim more guns to help them probably than any two battalions that ever made a charge. One hundred cannon were, en gaged in making a curtain of fire on their front while others were busy with other details of the staff plan. Attack Is Diamatle Incident. Nothing In the wnole offensive was so dramatically staged -or came off with greater success. The Germans still held on In their old first line trenches where their ma chine guns, brought up from unde- stroved dugouts, held ont the uritisn on July 1, while the British right swung on this section as a pivot through Contalmaison and Pozieres the summit of the ridge, burrowing for ward as the guns blasted away. Kharner and sharper grew the angle of the new British line to the old Ger man first line until on the map it looked impossible for troops to survive in such a -salient. Nevertheless, the Germans stuck to these defenses on nearly two years' preparation with dugouts 30 or 40 feet underv ground, revetted traverses and -every other de tail of protection against all kinds of fire which army staffs can devise or labor build. Through galleries running from dug out to dugout the Germans had a sub way for bringing up relief and food. They led a regular life. At night those not on guard went to bed in their cellar bunks as comfortably as in Pull mans and during the day they played cards when not sent o ut into shell crates to snipe the Britishers. They had their machine guns ready as before should the British attempt to rush their homes. British Suddenly Appear. The British guns were pounding away as usual yesterday at this sector. which is called the Leipsic redoubt, when the British, thanks to a new sys tem for taking care of machine gun fire, and with a quick burst of artillery preparation covering their charge, ap peared on the Jump through the doors of their dugouts. Through glasses they were visible to observers running about the maze of traverses like terriers searching for rat holes, their bayonets gleaming and puffs of smoke rising as they threw their bombs. In one capacious dugout, equipped with beds, tables and cupboards, six officers and 10 men surrendered in body and were marched out after the manner of a crowd caught in a gani-bllng-house raided by the police. Some managed to escape from their dugouts by underground galleries. Others who could not escape, though surrounded, tried to man their machine guns and were shot down. Still others fought to the death with bayonets and bombs. It Is estimated the 2000 Germans caught in this .trap by less than their own numbers were accounted for. Many Prisoners Brought In. When the Associated Press corre spondent left corps headquarters IS officers and 600 Germans had been brought in as prisoners, while more were being unearthed from their hid ing places. The last of the smaller parties which held out with a ring of British around them, in brief but fero cious attack, were surrendering. They had hoped for a counter atack to rescue them, but the British had foreseen this and met it with blasts from artillery and machine guns they had immedi ately put in position for that purpose. Once when the British troops, caught by machine gun fire, had to yield-a position and found a counter attack developing 20 seconds after their sig nal to the artillery commander, guns were trained on that counter attack with a curtain of tire that sent It to cover. In the center the British have pushed closer to Martlnpuich and have taken an orchard west of Delville Wood, but the hottest work probabiy was on tbe right. Here fhe Germans kept on reinforcing and their guns never forgot LonguevaL If they have any extra ammunition tbey seem to turn it on the massed wreckage of that unfortunate village. The British are equally interested in making sure that no remaining bricks of Guillemont es cape the attention of their artillery: Germans Thrown From Quarry. j Small bodies of British have been to Guillemont, but found it no place to: remain in the face of the fire the Ger- i mans in turn concentrated on it. The Germans were insistent on keeping a stone quarry on the edge of the town, but after & hand-to-hand argument, which lasted many hours, the British took and kept It. South of Guillemont tbe British were well forward of the village when aero plane observers saw big forces of Ger mans moving forward in a counter at tack. There was another hurry call to guns, and they wiped, out the first two lines of the advancing waves. The reist of the Germans took cover in . a ravine. It seems that the British now have Guillemont pretty will isolated, and are closing in on Glnchy, the posi tion beyond, thanks particularly to action in the direction of what might be called the "beverage"" sector where, as the British soldiers say, "all drinks are served hot." There, as usual, they have given the neighboring German trenches the names occurring to them, which hap pened to be "Beer alley." "Ale street." "Cocoa lane." "Coffee boulevard'' and the like.
