(Special to the Whig.) Paris, Oct. 30.--The success or failure of the Bulgarian operations in | southern Serbia depends on the outcome of the battle reported imminent | at or near Istib between Bulgarian forces and the combined Serbs and : ¢ French. ¥ The French capture of Strumnitza is believed only an incident of the Gallic sweep northward from Salonika with a view to clearing southern Serhia of Bulgarians and proceeding to the Serbs' 'assistance against the Austro-Germans still farther north. The Bulgars are concentrating along a line extending north-eastward from Veles, which they have recaptured from the Serbs, to resist this northern advance. t i C d | junction with the Allies, will Hy k Russians En Route To Bulgaria. (Special to the Whig.) | Copenhagen, Oct. 30.--Large contingents of Russian troops have set | sail from the Black Sea ports of Odessa and Sebastopol for the Bulgarian | coast. | A despatch telegraphed to the Tageblatt from Bucharest says that the transports are convoyed by a strong squadron. Russian warship on the Bulgarian port of Varna, according to this ac- | count, was undertaken in preparation for an attempt to land troops. | { ¢ Montenegrins Attack Austrians. | (Special to the Whig.) | Rome, Oct. 30.--Though on a comparatively small scale numerically, some 'of the bloodiest fighting in Europe was reported to-day in progress along the Austro-Montenegrin frontier. The Montenegrins have embar- | rassed the attack on the western Serbian border by fierce flank assaults. To stop this an Austrian campaign was launched against them. Taking advantage of one d¢ the 'world's most difficult mountain coun- tries, the Montenegrins have entrenched themselves so effectively that they have held their owa in the war against enormously superior forces, inflicting terrible losses. : Cl Russia Waits Word From Roumania. (Special to the Whig.) Paris, Oct. 30. --Permission by Roumania for Russian troops to cross Yer territory to help the Serbians was expected here hourly to-day. Petro- grad"s reported offer to cede Bessarabia to the Roumanians was believed { to-have won the latter to the Allies. Whether or not Roumania would | lend active military aid was more doubtful, but this, too, was hoped for. | + Despite repeated rumors that Greece is also likely to join the Entente | powers at last, no definite intimation to this effect has been received from Athens, Enemy Drive South From Batocina. Special to the Whig.) London, Oct. 30.--A fierce Austro-German drive south-westward from ! Batocina, Serbia, was reported in Athens messages to-day. Teutonie | forces were beligved to be aiming at. Kraguevac, where the Serbs have their arsenal. Batocina and Kraguevac are about ten miles apart. ~ No Differences Among Allies. (Special to the Whig.) Petrograd, Oct. 30.--German reports of serious differences between the Allies concerning their various Balkan policies were denied in semi- official statements issued here to-day. "It is superfluous," said the statement, "to point out the fallacious nature of this assertion." : ~~ Woman Jumped Off the G.T.R. "International Passengers on the International Limited, coming in from the east on Friday afternoon, were given quite a scare when it was known that a young woman had jumped off the train near the Montreal street sub- Way.

Ottawa, Oct.30.--A good deal of harm to the work of recruit- ing is still being done by un- wise appeals, in the opinion of Gen. Sir Sam Hughes, He stat- ed that at the big meeting which he addressed in Toronto last Monday there were not more than a couple of hundred men of fighting age present. This, he said, was due to the abusive, humiliating tone of many speakers at recruiting meetings, who drove men away, rather than attract them to the colors. : : obo + PHILLIP RRR GLEBE IET + GFPPP IFLR EPP b IIIb be BRIAND WILL RULE With An Iron Hand--His Mastcriy Achievements, Paris, Oct. 30.--Aristide Briand, who completed the formation of his third Cabinet last night, will rule with an iron hand if he lives up to his reputation.

Dr. | Gwynee, Bishop of Khartoum, was {appointed chief of the Church of | England chaplains, who were with- | Simms. | brigadier-general, but { who had previously been a. fourth- | class chaplain, was made a major- | | general. | The British Weekly and The | { Church Times agree that Dr. Simms | has been badly treated. The British | Weekly declares that Nonconform- | | ists, Catholics, and members of the! }} United Free Church have been deeply | ; aggrieved by this slight, and furtlier | | asserts that one is struck dumb with | amazement at the obstinate folly | | which prevents immediate redress of | the grievance.

Ottawa, Oct. 30.~--Judging from! the steady increasing number of | communications which the Minister of Militia is receiving from the Unit- | ed States offering assistance, either in | money or im personal service at the! front, the sympathy of the Americans | for the cause of the Allies is finding | daily a stronger practical outlet. In| the ranks of the Canadians at the front there are now said to be sever- al thousand men who came from the United States to enlist. Some of them | are former Canadians, but many of | them are native citizens of the Unit-| ed States. As an instance it may be! noted that in the recent list of casu-| alties among the "Canadians" there! appeared the name of an American | officer who was in charge of one of | the companies which landed at Vera | Cruz and fought the Mexicans. He| was in the regular American army, | but got leave of absence, and enlist- | ed in Canada to fight against the Huns, although the American Gov-| ernment, of course, was not cogniz- | ant of the fact. i Hundreds of Americans are now | coming across the line and joining | the recruits in Canada. The story! recently sent out that there would he | a United States regiment enlisted in| Canada is for international reasons! a little wide of the mark, but, as the | Minister of Militia put it to-day: "We can't stop Americans coming ° over here and calling, themselves Cana-| dians and saying they want to enlist | with our forces." i To ivestgatd Charges in Cone. tion With Public Service | of the Dominion.

New York, Oct. 30.--So great has been the sudden and general revival in iron and steel trade of the United States, it was said by authori- ties to-day, that with virtually every blast furnace and steel mill in the Country working night and day to capacity, the demand for iron, steel and steel products cannot be satisfi- | ed and it is to -day almost impossi- ble to buy, for immediate delivery, any iron, scrap or ingots in suitable 'quantities at any industrial plant in | the country. The revival begun about the first | of last July, has been coming on ra- pidly with a deluge of order since the middle of August, and may not yet have reached its high mark. Within three months the price of pig iron,, long retarded as the barometer of trade, has increased approximately 35 per cent, and that of steel and steel produects--except steel rails -- has gone up about fifteen per cent. "At the present time the demand for pig iron and for the various lines of steel is in excess of the producing capacity of the furnaces and mills of the United States," reads a statement ssued to-day by Judge Elbert H. ary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation. "Tha manufac turers are unable to' make deliveries entirel ers wi of the steel, -- "There is nothing to indicate that there will be a decrease in the de- | mand for any of these products for. ee ---------- {some time. While prices received | MAY BE PERMANENT | are still low, they have been and are | increasing, and apparently will go higher, so that fair and reasonable profit may be expected. "Of course, these very satisfactory conditions are more or less affected by the war business so called, yet it is undoubtedly true that there is a better feeling throughaut the gener- al iron and steel trade than has been experienced for some years past."
