LAID PLANS FOR BALKAN ATTACK DURING AUGUST

Quick Work Necessary to Carry Out Scheme of Allied Generals. PARIS, Sept. 26. Preparations for the present great operations in Macedonia began in August, telegraphs the correspondent of the Petit Parisien on the Saioniki front. Various cireumi tances prevented General Frahchet d"Esperey, the allied commander, from beginning his preparation earlier and jquick work was imperative for if the summer heat lingers along the coast the winter is often early and severe in the high mountain zones. The sector chosen for the attack lacked communications except for goat paths which were Impracticable for artilley. A read was laid out from Dojno and Pojar and Grevesta, and Serbian engineers set to work vigorously long before the French troops to whom had been assigned the task of piercing the Bulgarian line, were In position. The allied staff established quarters on the ground and tackled the enormous task of preparation. The mountainous region from Dobro Polje to Koziak, the correspondent adds, is very wild and covered with low brushwood and dense forests interspersed with deep ravines, chasms and precipices. The Bulgars thought themselves so safe from attempt to in-

wterfere with the allied preliminary ".work and contented themselves mere

ly with reinforcing their line, the

more easily to hurl back the allies

ilttle by little as the road was built, guns were pushed up toward the front and huge ammunition dumps constructed. Heavy guns were hoisted into positions at an altitude of 6,000 feet They were brought as far as possible by tractors, then hauled by

horses and mules and finally dragged

into place by man power. EULGARS UNPREPARED.

Soldiers of the signal detachments had to become Alpinists to lay their telephone and telegraph lines in this

chaos of rocks and trees. The Bulga

rians watched all these efforts and

failed even to shell the allies occa

sionally. It must be added, however,

continued the correspondent, that ev

erythlng that could be hidden was

camouflaged admirably. It was only during the night preced

ing the attack that the assaulting troops were brought up. Promptly at 5 o'clock on the morning of Sept. 14,

the artillery opened with such vigor

as to surprise the Bulgarians who were not aware that heavy buns were facing them. The brushwood was oon set afire and long columns of

yellowish smoke began to ascend from the hillsides while the great valley resounded to the roar of the guns. The artillery preparation lasted all day. The Bulgarians tried to reply

with 155s, but did little harm. On Sept 15 at 5 oclock in the morn

ing tho allies' creeping barrage Are began and the French colonials went over the top. They rushed the enemy

trenches with bomb and bayonet Sen

cgalese troops captured the first line and 900 demoralized prisoners In a few minutes. They took the second Vae except for one trench which was

crammed with machine guns. A company of Senegalese bombers attacked this trench in the rear and it also fell.

Perhaps it has not occurred to you that you can participate in Swift & Company's profits, and also share its risks, by becoming a co-partner in the business. It is not a close corporation. You can do this by buying Swift & Company shares, which are bought and sold on the Chicago and Boston stock exchanges. There are now over 22,000 shareholders of Swift & Company, 3,500 of whom are employes of the Company. These 22,000 shareholders include 7,800 women. Cash dividends have been paid regularly for thirty years. The rate at present is 8 per cent. The capital stock is all of one kind, namely, common stock there is no preferred stock, and this common stock represents actual values. There is no "water," nor have good will, trade marks, or patents been capitalized. This statement is made solely for your information and not for the purpose of booming Swift & Company stock. We welcome, however, live stock producers, retailers, and consumers as co-partners. We particularly like to have for shareholders the people with whom we do business. This leads to a better mutual understanding.

VAX o

A Remarkable Service On Silk Blouses Which Offers You the New Styles zX the Moderate Prices Prevailing A Year Ago -Here's a good example of how a public -spirited store serves you, and why and how it profits you to buy at such a store: Early last Summer a maker of quality Blouses wrote us to tho effect that he had made very extensive purchases of fine Silks (Georgette and Crepe de Chine) the forepart of this year; that both because of the large quantities ordered and the time at which the order was placed the prices were sharply under the prevailing market quotations; further, that he proposed to make up these Silks into Blouses for his regular accounts for delivery during the Fall and Winter months ; that each month a certain quota would be delivered, and that as a result of the numerous savings that would result from the. co-operative method the values would be the most unusual.' We, of course, accepted the proposal, and the second allotment of the Blouses has just arrived, and will go on sale tomorrow. Just another word: The Blouses are made of fine, durable fabrics, the workmanship is excellent, and they are all out true to size so as to, insure perfect fitting. The prices are $3.98 to $5.75 -rrQuantities are limited and no more of the same styles will be obtainable.
