Turks Severely Repulsed. TO-DAY'S BRITISH OFFICIAL. The following telegraphic dis- patch was issued by the British General Headquarters in France at 12.4b p.m. to-day: Last night, as a result of a minor operation, we drove the enemy out of a portion of the small area intercepted with trenches north- west of Delville Wood, which he had re-captured on Thursday. On this part of the line there has been no infantry encounter of im- portance. During the past twel ve hours hostile artillery has generally developed greater activity, and some fairly severe, but intermittent bombard- ment has been carried out by the enemy, in which he used a large portion of gas shells. TO-DAY'S FRENCH OFFICIAL. On the Somme front there was rather great activity by the artil- lery on both sides, notably in the sector of Maurepas and immedi- ately to the south of the river. Flie Germans directed violent and repeated attacks on the elements of trenches captured by us on Aug. 31 to the south fo Estrelle. He succeeded in re-occupying some elements at the cost of appalling losses. Ip Champagne seme German recon- naissances were dispersed by grenades to the west of Auberide and to the south of Tahure. A Russian patrol put to flight an enemy party to the north-west of Auberide after a lively fight. On the right bank of the Ale use the night was agitated by reason of the nervousness of the enemy, who violently bombarded our positions in the neighbourhood of Thiaumont Work, and repeatedly started barrage firing without any excuse. A German attack on the village of Fleury was stopped dead by our fire. To the west of Pontamousson, after artillery preparations, the Ger- mans endeavoured to leave their trenches near Foyenhave. Our curtain fire thwarted this attack. To the north-wefct of Retnediile strong enemy detachments which attempted to reach our lines tie under cover of a mine explosion, 7 were easily repulsed. Everywhere else the night was calm. SALONIKA FRONT. On the Struma front and in the re gion of Lake Doiran there was intermittent cannonading. Our artillery set fire to a railway station at Pardovita, north of Duevghli, between the Cerna and the Vardar. There was some grenade fighting. The night attack directed by Bul- garians was easily repulsed by Serbian troops in the sector cf Betrenik. TO-DAY'S RUSSIAN OFFICIAL. Western Front.—South-west of the village of Goboly, on the River Stokhod, the enemy resumed the offensive, but was repelled by our infantry fire. In the direction of Vladimar-Vol- ynik fierce fighting continues. In the direction of Zolochev and Halicz our troops, as a result of the battle, advanced and captured several enemy positions. The enemy, who was compelled to retire westwards, is making a stubborn resistance. In the direction of Koiosmezo we captured several heights south of Voromenka. Caucasian Front. The Turkish offensive west of Gumiskhauth was arrested by our fire and bayo- net attack. The enemy fled, II having suffered great losses. On the ground before one of our regiments, theTurks, after an un- successful attack, left several hun- dred dead. In the direction of Mesne, in the region of Sukkiz, we are pressing; the Turks.—Wireless Press. I TO-DAY'S ITALIAN OFFICIAL.

TOMBSTONES OR WAR BONDS. A somewhat grim dialogue took place on Friday at the Kingston (Surrey) Tri- bunal, when a monumental mason applied for his exemption, and his employer said he was the only man left, and if he went to the war the business would have to close down. The mayor was incredulous. Do you mean to say," he queried, that people spend money on graveyard monuments in war-time ? According to the employer, they spent more than before the war, and the mayor -who agreed to exemption till September 15—suggested that it would be better for people to put their money into War Bonds.

100-YEAR-OLD FIRM FAILS. Mentioning that the business was foun- ded 100 years ago, the Senior Official Re- ceiver stated at a meeting in the estate of Mr. Montague W. Desborough, solicitor, of Queen-street, E.C., on Friday, that the unsecured liabilities had been returned at = £ 35,000. The estimated assets were C2,500 perhaps £ 4,000. An unfortunate feature of the case, he said, was that the cash books from 1903 to the end of ]915 were missing. The only explanation the debtor could give was that they might have been destroyed by acci- dent when a former partner left the firm. I Failure was attributed to excess of ex- penditure over income by the father, who died last year, and by the son during the last fifteen years. H. L. Nicholls was appointed [ trus&Sf.

Athens, Thursday (received Friday).— The Bulbars began a retirement irom Sorovitch yesterday afternoon, and are falling back towards the defiles of Kirli- Berven ana Banitza. Late last evening detachments of Serb- ian cavalry arrived before Sorovitch. The enemy, it is stated, evacuated his* positions at three important points of the line—namely, Tsaltsilar, Eleves and Pateli. His retreat towards low-lyingx spurs of the hills towards the east, and those bordering Fiorina and the Monastir plain continues. Bulgarian outposts in the Castoria region are being withdrawn towards the north. A message which arrived a little prior to the above states that the enemy are putting up a strong defence on the Banitza Hills, while sections of the Bulgar forces are retiring on Groussograz in tlie Plain of Fiorina. Yesterday at mid-day a Bulgar column, supported by artillery, delivered an at- tack on Gornichevc in an endeavour to re- take the place. The effort failed, after heavv losses being sustained. The Serbs are pressing on this point of the line, though thair advance is delayed. somewhat by the heavy artillery fire on the Gornichevo slopes, by means of which the Bulgars are covering their retreat. In a ravine near Gornichevo Serbs dis- covered three Krupp guns abandoned by the Bulgars. Everything points to an enemy retreat towards Monastir, and this may quite nossibly scon be turned into a rout.—"Daily Chronicle." MANY PRISONERS TAKEN.

Though no official news is nvailable, it j is clear thd fighting is proceeding he- tween the Bulgarians and Rumanians. The former have been bombarding Rumanian ports on the Danube. A Berlin report admits that the Rumanians have captured the Bulgarian fortress of Rust- chuk, which is on the Danube opposite Giurgevb, 35 miles south of Bucharest. Eustchuk was an important strategic point in the Rueso-Turkish wars. It was taken by the Russians in 1810, destroyed in 1811, rebuilt in 1812, besieged by the Russians in 1817-78, when the fortifications were nearly destroyed. The population numbers about 83.000.

TOWN OF MISSING MEN. There are 500 Bermondsey men who ought to be in the Army but the military authorities cannot find them. The statement was made at the local tribunal on Friday by the military repre- sentative.

It was always, the Town Clerk ex- plained, a great trouble to trace people, owing to the migratory character of the population.

TO-DAY'S WAR RESUME] Leader" Office 4.50 p.m. According to a Paris telegram receive d to-day the fighting in the Sonuwe rrgioa •ias been characterised by unusual ferocity on the part of the enemy. In connection with this fighting, the Germans on Thursday forced their way into a small portion of the British trenches. This afternoon's report from General Haig states that the whole of the ground thus occupied has been re- covered. The Russians continue their advance, and several enemy positions, according to this afternoon's report, have been cap- tured. The enemy, though retiring westward, is making a stubborn resist- ance. In the Caucasus the Turks have suffered great losses west of Gamiskhauth. After an unsuccessful attack on a Rus- sian regiment, hundreds of Turkish dead were found.

South of Estrelle the Germans have directed frequent attacks on the trenches captured by the French on Thursday, and succeeded in regaining some elements, at the cost of appalling losses. To-day's telegrams from Salonika and other sources confirm the impression left yesterday that the Greek revolution has ended in the complete success of the movement. A provisioral government has been de- clared in Macedonia, amid scenes of en- thusiasm. An Austrian official communique admits the continued advance of the Rumanians and the capture by the latter of two more towns.
