LONDON, Oct. 20. The rnco for
the riinil to Constantinople has reneh
t'il mi exciting Hinge. The llnlgnrians
re within few miles of forming ft
juiu'tioii with their Auslro-Genunn al
lies while the French in Miuill force
already have joined tlie Seibinns.
Tim French nro not yet in suffic
ient numbers to (isHiimc an actual of
J'eiwite in Mueedonin, lint the rapidity
of the Bulgarian advance in Unit rcg
ion nlrcndy has dhuiiiMied. Along
the old Unitarian frontier, from n
point northeast of Vrnnyu to the Wn
tnnninn border, the. Serbians arc yield
ing little ground.
Aft mil junction hot ween tho Bul
garians and their allies, which may
lie a matter of only a few hours, will
soon show whether the .Serbians arc
able to hold their mountain positions
until the entente allies bring up strong
forces.
lliitlsli to Assist
With UhIuip in their possession,
the Hiilgnrinna now hold with strong
forces tho Nish-Snloniki railroad be
tween Vrnnya and Uskup, n distance
of about fifty uiilos. They have thus
cut direct communication between
Nish and Snloniki, leaving open only
the uncertain means of transit over
the MoniiHtir-l'ristinn lines.
A lirigmlo of British troops leaves
Snloniki today for Dorian (forty
mile notthwost of Snloniki), to pre
paie an advance on Strumitsa in eon
junction with tho French movement.
TiiiKn to Itulpu-ln
According to 1'arifi advices, Russia
has completed her preparations for
the dispatch of strong forces to help
Scihiu.
Tuikish tioops will meet any effort
Jdtssiii mny make to land m army on

IStdgniians could not be counted upon
to ie-isl the ltussiaus.
A Biichurost nfeoiinl of tho cross
ing of the Danube by the Austrians in
the ueiiiity of Orsova. near the Rii
iiianiau froniier, mentions the pies
ciice of a Russian buttery with the
Seibinn forces and of n Russian
jdeninor on tho Danube, which is de
clared to hnvo bombarded Oroova.
Italy Hammers Away
Italy is still hnmmering away nt the
Austrian front, which is shaken, but
unbroken. It is expected in London
that the Italian olfeiiMio will at least
pi event the Austrians from reinfore
j litr their Balkan nnny.
Itussia, by hor stubborn dnfenso of
Jtiiiii nnd Dvinsk, and her continued
ITciimo in Onlieia, is keeping her
opponents engaged busily along the
xvhole eastern front. In the west thero
is evidence that the entente allies are
again preparing for an offensive
which may pievent the Germans from
diverting any of their forces there.

nection with an alleged plot to blow

charge.
After Chemical Works
Chief Flynn announced today that
he was in possession of iufoimaliou
which showed that Fay had told a
man named Wig that the proper way
to stop the shipment of ammunitions
to the allies was to blow up the eheiii
icj'l works. He explained that it was
Useless to try to blow up shell and
powder woiks because those plants
couhl mnk repair easily, and the
worst ihunngo that could be done
them would dolay them only a woek or
so. If the chemical plants wore at
tacked they would be at the fouu
tuinhend and repairs could not ho
quickly made.
Accoiding to the chief, Fay asseit
ed that when bo left Holland for
America on the steamer Rotterdam he
carried a letter to a high oftieial, but
on the first day out he destroyed it,
fenriut; he might be searched and the
letter found.
