Germany has or dered the Bulgarians to discontinue their advance into Greece and to evac uate occupied Greek territory, fearing Greeoo will be drawn into the war, ac cording to an unconfirmed wireless dis patch from Rome today. Several Greek generals have refused to obey orders to evacuate eastern Macedonia before the Bulgarian ad vance, the dispatch said. Instead of re tiring they have prepared to defend the eastern Macedonia front. ' The Greek government is said to have laid this information before Germany, Adding that public indignation over the invasions has increased to such an ex tent that the government is no longer master of the situation. Upon receipt of this information Germany ordered the Bulgarian withdrawal, it was stat ed. The Rome report thus far is not eon firmed from any other source, though it is a fact that only iu eastern Mace donia have the Bulgars continued their advance in the past 49 hours. After advancing nearly 30 mileB into Greek territory and occupying Kastoria, the Bulgarian right wing made no further progress." Official dispatches from Ger jnnn, French and British war offices at tributed this halt to the stubborn Ser liian resistance. The latest Athens dispatches appar ently contradicted the Rome report, stating that the Greeks are evacuating the region around the city of Seres, un der orders from the Greek government. Russians Beady to Invade. Budapest dispatches, reporting the concentration of large bodies of Russian troops on the Bessarabinn-Rumauiaa frontier, evidently with the purpose of crossing Rumania to invade Bulgaria and Hungary, aroused intense interest today. The Budapest newspaper Az Est was quoted as declaring that the Ru manian war party is becoming stronger and that the Rumanian government has made tentative preparations at the fron tiers, making it easy for the Rumanian forces to co-operate with the Russians if Rumania is drawn into the wnr. Recent United Tress dispatches from Berlin asserted the Russian diplomats are bending their energies at present, not to obtaining Rumania's participa tion in the war, but to obtaining per mission for Russian troops to cross Rumania to attack Bulgaria and Hun gary.

Nose ing her wny through a fog, while a lit tle tug puffed and snorted alongside, the North German-Lloyd liner Willehatl swung to the pier of the State Oceau Steamship company here today adding another chapter to German defiance of the allied warship patrol off the Atlan tic coast. Customs officials and all New Lon don believe the coming of the Willehad forecasts the early arrival of the mer chant submarine Bremen from the Ger man port of that name. The Willehad mado the trip from Boston without es cort. Coming through the Cape Cod canal and thence out into the open sea, the liner traversed more than 50 miles of her journey through a zone in which she was subject to attack or 'capture, had enemy ships sighted her. She went out beyond tho three mile limit but was not molested. It is believed here the Willehad is to serve in tho same capacity for the Bremen ns the Neckar, interned at Bal timore, did for the Deutschlnnd.

General Haig reported to the war office this afternoon that the British advancd their lines on a 700 yard front across the famous Leipsig redoubt in heavy fighting yesterday and last night, an advance that increases the peril of the Germans caught in the Thiepval village salient. While this fighting was going on other British forces pushed forward several hundred vards on both sides of the road from Longueval to Bapauma, throwing the British pincers more The German war office, admitting the loss of shell wrecked positions in the Thiepval region, claimed the pulse of all other British attacks.

Thoro is, as yet, no positive iuforinntion as to when the Bre men will arrive, but all indications are that she wll put in at this port. Off Manomet Point, the Willehad sighted a suspicious looking craft head ing toward her and she chose a course near the shore. The Willehad 's pilot had received orders that if approached by hostile craft she should be beached. The Willehad is tho first interned German steamship to leave voluntarily the friendly refuge of a harbor. The steamship will not only be used to house the Bremen's crew but also to lay alongside and give protectioa if need be.

CANDIDATE TO MAKE IN MANY STATES By Perry Arnold. (United Press staff correspondent.) Laramie, Wyo., Aug. 25. Save for t wo days rest at Bridiiehampton, L. I., immediately at the conclusion of his present campaign trip, Republican Nominee Hughes will be continuously on speaking tours from now until elec tion time. According to tentative plnas which have been forwarded to the candidate, he will set a now record in campaigning if he is physically fit to follow out the itineraries which are now being con sidered for him. Today the governor thought he would be able to go through with every de mand for his presence because he was feeling so fit. It is the nominee's hope that he will be known personally to a majority of the voters of tho United States. By the time he has finished his pres ent, trip he estimates that he will hnve been seen and heard by about 1,000,000 people. After he has completed other iuuimiKii iuuis, niiicii 11 IB BU1U, will carry hiin into prncticully every section of tho Uuitod States, the republican standard bearer hopes he will have been personally judged by most of the repub lican and progressive voters and also a few democrats.

A quarter of a million dollars damages is to be I demanded from the Southern Pacific and Oregon Klectric railroads by the Willamette Valley Lumbermens associ ation, according to plans made today. The lumbermen say they have been damaged to this extent by failure of the railroads to supply them with freight ears. At a meeting of the association in the Imperial hotel today, J. N. Teal, at torney for the organization, was in structed to file the suit as he might see fit. Federal mandamus proceed ings may be instituted first. The lumbermen assert there has been discrimination against them in the dis tribution of ears. Thev face a serious shortage which will result, it is de dared, in closing a large number of mills unless there is speedy relief. OF LIVING Miss Kaufman commented at the open ing that even now she didn't see the "wrong of this life." Attorney Smith explained to her that her testimony would result in the prose cution of Kugelman. Miss Kaufman then told how she met Kugelmun through a girl friend. The love making that foiluwed did not pass the bounds of propriety for more than a year, Miss Kaufman said. She be came deeply in love with Kuuclmnn and believed his story that he would marry her as soon as the rich lather he told ner about, died. In November, 1914, Miss Kaufman began to live with Kugelman as his wife and then she learned that there was nothing to the "rich father" story and that Kugelman had been married at Atlanta. Kugelman begged forgive ness and added that he needed money. She gave him the $10 seh made each week as stenographer but he said he needed more. She refused at first to consider his method of getting more money, but finally consented. Ho in structed her to walk on certain streets and to use certain hotels. She said she did as she was ordered and was never molested by the police. Makes $90 a Week. Miss Kaufman told how she returned home every afternoon at S o'clock and tnen at 7 took her place on the street. She gave him the $10 she made each stenographer and as a slave averaged $90. She retained enough tor herself to buy food and clothing and turned over the remainder to Kugelman. She continued this for two years without a protest until she learned that Kugel aian this week married a womau in Brooklyn. Then she consented to tell her story to the district attorney. HUGHES SPEECHES tween teams at Cincinnati, on Septem ber 6. Ohio republicans are endeavor ing to arrange for a mass meeting at the railroad station during that time so that the nominee can make a rear end of the train speech. From Cincinnati the Hughes' party will go diroct to Maine. The first speech on his invasion of the Down East ter ritory will occur, according to present tentative plans at York Harbor, on the afternoon of September 7. That night Mr. Hughes will address a big gather ing at Portland. On September 8, it is planned to have him seak at Lewistoii, in tho morning; nt Waterville in the afternoon and at Bangor at night. This would leave him two days before speak ing at Syracuse on the 11th. According to these arrangements, it is probable the two days will be occupied uy a swing into Massachusetts and Con necticut. On November 4 Saturday night be fore the election the nomiuee will con- elude his campaign for tho presidency by addressing a mass meeting at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. Hughes Is exceedingly anxious to make a visit to the Texas border and possibly campnign a little among the soldiers.
