"We have crossed the Danube river
at several points," said the statement.
"We obtained a firm foothold on the
eastern bank of the Drina, and the
southern banks of the Danube and

The invasion along three river fronts
indicates that largor forces were con

States Was Outwitted
edly given Bulgaria assurance that
Greece and Rumania would remain
neutral, and that for this reason, Bul
garia had assumed a more warlike tone
toward Russia and Serbia than she
might otherwise have adopted.
The Greek king is bound by marriage
ties to the kaiser, and hence it was
thought in some quarters, his sympathies
have been swayed toward Germany,
and had determined him to aid that
nation in blazing a trail to Constanti
nople by keeping neutral.
Serbia had not replied earlv today

Viewed From London.
London, Oct. 7. With the
diplomats reported by Athens already
to have withdrawn from Sofia, the
maelstrom of war today rapidly tended
toward engulfment of the Balkans.
Following an unsatisfactory reply by
Bulgaria to Russia's warlike ultimatum,
and dispatch of another similar ultima
tum from Bulgaria to Serbia, hostilities
were expected soon along the Serbo
Hungarinu border, simultaneously with
an Austro-German attack on Serbia's
northern frontier. ,
General Lillian Von Sanders, the Ger
man officer in charge of Turkish oper
ations, has arrived at Plfillippopolis and
is conferring with OMr Ferdinand.
Other German officers are reported to
nave gone into Bulgaria trom Constnii

Tho White House today was liter

London The long expected Austro
German drive through the Balkans to
Constantinople began todny, when Teu
tonic hordes swept across the. Save,
Danuge and Drina rivers into Serbia.
-Official announcement of this action
was followed by optimistic predictions
on Germany 's part that the move means
decisive victories for her armies, and a
speedy end of the vast European struggle.
No word came from Sofia as to what
her forces had done, but it was believed
possible that her troops had already en
tered Serbia in an effort- to bottle up
that nation bv cutting off her railway
communication with the outside world.
This view was strengthened by the
fact that the Greek minister at Sofia
reported several days ago that Bulgaria
would invade Serbia simultaneously
with her Austro-German cohorts.
At any rate, war on Bulgaria, cither
through declaration or direct action,
within a few hours or days is a foregone
conclusion.
Bulgaria knows it, and her official
government organ today warned tho
populace that the explosion is immiuent.
The allies themselves continued their
lauding operations nt Salonika, while
at the same time thov informed Greece
of a blockade whereby any goods pass
ing through Grecian territory for Bul
garia, would bo regarded as contraband.
Coincidentally the allies renowed ihoir
onslaught on the German front in
Franco and Flanders. ,
Germany admitted her forces had
lost the important point of Tahure aud
the heights nearby, though the official
statement claimed to have halted the
renewed offeusive by counter attacks.
, Paris, on tho other hand, told of re
pulse of Gemma attacks at a number of
points, including Tahuro, and heavy
artillery bombardment in Several sec

fautry battling.

Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, Oct.
7. Bulgaria's entrance into the war on
tho side of tho Austro-Gennans will not
be delayed long, tho Bulgarian govern
ment organ today informed tho people.
IJuiek and overwhelming victories for
the central empires, and a speedy end

entrance, it wns believed In military
circles today. They believed the Aus
tro Germans will bo able to smash their
way through to Turkoy'g aid and there

decisive battlefield would be the
