BERLIN, Oct. 18.-The Overseas

News Agency says advices from Sal- onlki, through Budapest, state that the Bulgarian Minister to Greece ad- vised Premier Seamis of Bulgarla’s declaration ‘of war against Serbia. I-le gave expression to the friendly senti- ments whlcb Bulgaria held toward Greece. Premier Seamis expressed thanks for the readiness of the Bul- garian Government to help provide for Greece in a way which would be necessary in the event of ablockade of the Greek coast. The Greek Pre- mier answered that the two nations had misunderstood each other but from this time on would march in the same direction.

Eéspsclal to The Guardian) B LIN. Oct. 18.-A special de-;

spatch to the National Zeitung from the Russian border says:

“Your correspondent learns from a

well-informed source that the aban- donment of the Dardanelles campaign by France and Great Britain has ai- ready been decided on. Russian cir- cles interested have been informed that the Allies will not suspend oper- ations on Gallipoli Peninsula all at once but will gradually withdraw their troops from there. Military circles of the Entento Powers are fully convinc- ed of the hopelessness of the Dar- danellos undertaking its present form." ' -

The correspondent adds that an-

other reason for the abandonment of the campaign is that the troops are needed for service in Serbia.

Delivered Last Night by Mr. Andre' |n"St. iames’ Hall. Vivid Word Pictures of World’s Greatest Battles.

A large and appreciative audience

in St James’s Hall last evening greet- ed M. G. Marcel Andre. the celebrated Parisian lecturer, who has been tour- ing Canada lecturing on the war in the interests of various patrictic ob- iects. M, Andre is a rarely pleasing speaker, with a comprehensive and fluent command of English, and his great lecture "On the Firing Line with the French and British Armies," delivered to packed houses in England as well as in Canada, is universally acclaimed- one of the most realistic, authentic and interesting ever heard on the worid's greatest war. Among numerous press comments »in the United Kingdom on M. Andre's lecture, the following extract from the London "Mornlng Post " may be observed: " He is a delightful speaker, describing' with an intimate knowledge the con- ditions and incidents in battle-scarred Belslum and France. and compelling us to realise them in a way we never did before. He relates, also. many' interesting and enjoyable anecdotes, which proved most enjoyable. Most of the numerous illustrations thrown “Don the screen were very fine. and those who did not attend the event really missed a great treat."

the Germans forty-hve years ago. He has seen his own country invaded by the Germans not once but twice, for he is old enough to remember per- fectly the Franco-German war of 1870, and is therefore in an ideal position to describe exactly the conduct of the Huns when invading s. country.

Last nlght’s lecture. which was in

aid of the Red Cross Fund, was divided so as to cover three cam- paigns-flrst in Belgium. showing that place as it was before the war, fol- lowed by the destructiongof the cities and the whole of the campaign in Bel- gium; next a series of scenes dealing with the eastern campaign in France, in Alsace and Lorraine between the French and the Germans; and, third- ly, a description of the war in Fland- ers. and the various engagements be- tween the British and Canadians and the Germans. He also dealt with the battle of Marne, the retreat from Mons, some of the latest fights in Poland and the Dardanelles, conclud- ing by speaking on the magnificent work accomplished by the British Navy in clearing the seas of all Ger- man ships and men-of-war, and show- ing types of the most interesting naval craft, such as submarines, dread noughts. etc. He gave a general idea of the great conflict, especially for the benefit of those who did not realise the magnitude of the war. " You.have sent such a magnificent type of men and fighters from Canada. who have really performed such deeds of valour and been of such great help at the front, that we French people are very anxious to see some more of the Cana- dians come over," declared M. Andre. The speaker expressed the hope that the Red Cross Fund would be con- siderably augmented by the collection on Trafalgar Day. He pointed out that the British Red Cross Society is of invaluable service to the wounded Canadian soldiers at the front. and as it is in dire need of money it is the duty of every one to help the Fund as far as possible.

M. Andre, continuing. said: ,-, ln the conduct of the war two things have been outstanding. in regard to the aerial portion of the fighting. One of these is thc worthlessness of the alr- ship or gas balloon. The other the very great value of the aeroplane both as a sdout and as a weapon of offense.

ln all earlier wars the scouting was

performed by the cavalry of the arm- ies. but it has been proven in the pres- ent conflict that one aeroplane can do more effective scouting in an hour than a whole regiment of cavalry could do-in s ddy.

Explaining the present phase of the

struggle the speaker said that the Allies could not afford to lose. They were not fighting in a war oi conquest because none of the allied nations are

military lpeople. They are peace lov- ing psop e.

` NORTH SYDNEY, October 17.`- As the result of a horse bolting, a double fatality occurred at Sydney Mines on Saturday aftemoon. Angus McLean, of Boucardine, was driving along Ocean Avenue, and on coming to tho Nova Scotia Steel.'Company’s railway crossing stopped while engine No. 10 was passing. The horse stood perfectly quiet till the locomotive was almost abreast, then suddenly bolted. So quick were the horse's movements that the driver lost the reins and be- fore he could recover himself the car- riage was beneath the locomotive.

Conductor John Arsenault, of_ the

Scotia Company's employ, who was riding on the footboard of the engine, was knocked off in the collision, and both he and McLean were run over by the engine. Arsenault"s death was instantaneous, his head being sever-` ed from his body. McLean’s skull was broken, and he died while being taken to the hospital.

[Mr. Arsenault above referred to

was a son of Mr. Joseph C. Arsenault, former Station Master at Wellington. He was 54 years of age and was for a number of years in the employ of Ri T. Holman, Ltd., as shipper. For the past 15 years he was Conductor in the employ of the Scotia Company. He leaves to mourn his wife, eight daugh- ters and one son, besides his father and two brothers. Joseph, in Chelsea, and Emile, at home, and three sisters, Mrs. Perry, Chelsea, Mrs. Fidcle Gau- det Muddy Creek, and Mrs. Blanch- ard, Summerside. Mrs. Albert Gau- det, Summerside, is an aunt.]

LONDON, Oct. 18.-Reports that the

Allies occupied Strumitza and landed at Enos, which was recently trans- ferred from Turkish to Bulgarian rule,- have caused a more optimistic feeling throughout the Allied countries. As to the progress of the near eastern cam- paign it is known from both Serbian and German accounts that Field Mar- shal V n Mackénzen’s army is meeting greater resistance than was expected, although it is expectedthat the Ser- bians eventually must fall back to stronger strategic positions in the north. The fact that the Allies are bringing heavy forces against the Bul- garians and so placing them that the Bulgarians will he compelled to divide their armies gives hope hero that the Germans may be balked in their latest attempt to reach the sea and bring assistance to the Turks. All along the line the Serbians and their Montene- grin neighbours, who are also being attacked, are offering very stubborn resistance to both the Austro-Germans and the Bulgarians. While they have given up a number of towns and posi- tions they have not yet reached the line on which they expect to make a stand. The Bulgarians, so far as can be learned, have made progress only in Zlotokopslta Valley. where they blew up a bridge. There is no con. firmation of the report that they cut the railway .bridge and destroyed a small wooden one. The Bulgarian force which penetrated the valley is not a large one. On the other hand, ‘t is pointed out that the capture of Strumitza is of real strategic value. an its occupation permits the defence of the southern ond of the railwav md compels the Bulgarians to keep s force there. Enos, too. is of value. ‘lllh0l1sh not a good landing piano, 1;, ‘00\lDation threatens Dcdeaghatlch, which has a great harbour fortified and mined. The civilian population has already left Dedeaghatich, which is entirely in the hands of the military under German officers. Tho Italians, according to latest reports, will not send a contingent to ‘the Balkans, but 00-Olieratlon of their ,navy in the A629811, where an Allied fleet has withered, is looked for.

an account of how General Joffre, Commanderdn-Chief of the French

forces, directed the operations duringgnlogy have made him to bo. We are

the battle in the Champagne region. Taking a post close to the front, in an inn keepcr‘s kitchen, where a tele- phone had 'boen installed, General Joffre, bending over a large scale map, listened to officers at the telephone at intervals giving his orders in an absolutely calm voice. V

in this position, this newspaper ac-

count says, General Joffre remained longer than 22 hours from nine o'clock in the morning, until half-past seven, thelnext morning, neither eating nor drinking, during the whole time. At the end of that period, after marking certain places on the map he put down his pencil and said: "It is over. Let us go and take a bit."
