SERBIANS ADVANCE
IN MACEDONIA
London.— A farther advance for the
Serbians on the western end of the
Macedonian front is reported in a dis­
patch sent out under a Salonlki date
by the Exchange Telegraph company.
It says the first and second line
trenches of the Bulgarians at Kalm
akcalan have been taken by the Ser­
bians, who have crossed the Broda
river.
Heavy fighting continues on
the farther bank of the river.
The Serbians are reported to have
taken four field guns and eight ma
chine guns, bringing up to 36 the num
ber of guns captured. A large numbei
of prisoners also are said to have fall­
en into the hands of the Serbians.
The dispatch also reports that
French troops on the allied left wing
have captured the station at Florina.
Heavy fighting continues.

important successes.

Foch extended his positions between
Chanlnea and Peronne, greatly In­
creasing the menace to both these
strongholds.
In their advance north of the Somme
the British took an important step In
their movement toward the encircle­
ment of Thlepval, obliterating the sal­
ient that protruded into their lines be­
tween that place and Courcelette, and
brought tbeir front to within less than
a mile of Grandcourt and the Albort-
Bapaume road. By capturing Mouquet
farm woito and the Danube trench,
Haig has eliminated the greatest ob­
stacles toward a direct northeast ad­
vance on Bapautne by the British.
The British guns are now bombard­
ing Grandcourt, while Bapautne itself
is almost in range of the heavy a rtil­
lery.
The success of the French south of
the Somme likewise wipes out a dan­
gerous salient and brings their right
wing nearer the point of the south
from which the flank move on Per­
onne must be begun.
Swiftly the
French are clearing the whole sector
south and. southwest of Peronne and
bringing nearer the isolation of that
stronghold. »
•
’ The allied attack in Picardy la daily
growing in momentum. The British
advance is exhibiting such power that
it is no longer necessitating constant
pauses for the consolidation of ground
gained.
