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.

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.

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."

Sterns,

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

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.
