Athens, Oct. 25—A news bureau
messago from Nlsh states that the
Bulgarian offensive was broken
this morning at Veles, where their
lett wing was smashed by th0
French-Servian troops. It is al
3o reported that the French have

THE BULGARIANS REACH HUB
-STOP SERB RE-fORCEIflEMS
Loudon, Oct. 25—The Bulgarian
army of invasion into Serbia
readied Uskub, on the border Bouth
ol Nish today, thus placing thern
pclves across the route "which will
have to be followed by the allies in
furnishing re-iuforceuients to the
Serbs.
All foreign consuls have left L)o
deagatch, where the shells from
j> recent bombardment caused the
deaths of thousands of soldiura who
were there in barracks.
There is no attempt on the part
of the British government to con
ceal the fact that the condition in
Serbia is one of supremo gravity.
Notwithstanding tho defeats that
have inn® administered to tho
enemy in actual battle, flanking
movements have compelled tho Ser
bians to retreat, and the danger is
tha* the major Dart of the Serbian
army will be caught as in a vice
between the German and Austrian
forces from the north and the Bul
garian troops from the south and
east.
It is believed that German troops
<ire operating with tho Bulgarian
army, which has crossed tho Bul
garian frontier in many places.
Hope is yet felt that the allies
will be able to save the day with
troops that are being forwardod
from Saionikl in spite of the circum
stance that the railroad is cut be
tween that place and Nish.

PRACTICAL 0EIK1T181
DOMESTIC SCIEHCE STUDENTS
The girls of tlio domestic science
department, under the afcle super
vision of Mrs. Reinert, gave on Fri
day afternoon, in the assembly
room the first practical public1
demonstration of their work, when |
they entertained the members of
the school board and Mr. Ashley,
president of the town council, at !
a charming breaktast party. The
table was prettily decorated with
pausies, one flower being placed
at each plate, for a boutoniere.
Covers ware laid for six. The pre
cision with which th§ Bilver and
individual dishes were placed,
showed a careful attention to the
detailc of a correctly laid table. The
place cards were unique. On each,
Henrietta Rousseau had sketched
a goat perilously noised on a moun
tain peak—the suggestion for
which was given by a chance re
mark of one of the board members
when approached on the subject
of the entertainment of the school
board at their own expense. Ger
trude Liddlcoat, as hostess, pre
sided gracefully at the table. Henri
etta ltous8eau, Etta Jundeen and
Ellen Rogars were in charge of the
work in the kitchen. Lela Melan
and Ruth Pedersen deftly teerved
the breakfast, which consisted of
baked apples, bacon and eggs, Lyon
naise potatoes, crisp toast and cof
fee. Those present were: Mrs. Reln
ort, Miss Keenam, Mr. Ask, Mr.
Hahn, Mr. Ashley and the hostess,
Gertrude Liddicoat.
Those who, -with deeper penetra
tion saw beyond the event of a
breakfast well prepared and cor
rectly served, realized that in this
phase of vocational education
were being trained the home-makers
of tomorrow — home-makers With
trained minds as well as hands,
which makes for efficiency in the
home as well as elsewhere.
