In a joint push forward the Serbs, operating on the left wing south of Monastir, and the Anglo- French forces operating in the cen- tre and on the right, moved forward to day. The Ser )8 won the Bulgarian first line on t‘: e Greek border, south- to-day. The Seros won the Bulgarian first line on the Greek border, south- east of Idonastir, while the allied armies crossed the Struma, east of Saloniki, and established themselves firmly on the right bank. Reports received from Saloniki show that the general engagement which began on Friday was continu- ing on Monday with intensity over an extended front, running from Flor- ina, near Monastir, to the River Stru- ma. This represents an irregular line measuring upwards of 150 miles. The operations have been long expected as a part of the co-ordinated offensive of the allies on all fronts. Its open- ing follows the arrival of General Cordonnier after extended confer- ences with officials in Paris. The ad- vices received in Paris indicate that the offensive began on the left, where the Serbians had moved up to within twenty-five miles of Monastir. Forces of AHZes Engage Foe on Front v- __v H.

General Watson’s division has now joined the three other Canadian divisions on the Somme. The Canadians have held the apex of the salient of Ypres ever since the British extended their lines to the Somme when the German of- fensive at Verdun commenced.
