An allied force threatening either a flank attack on Bulgaria from tha ei*t of th* atart of a new drive on Constantinople, has been landed at tinos. In European Turkey, just In side the Bulgarian border, according to_Ag|eßS advices. Bulgaria, laid open to attack from the east by thla new move, haa al ready felt on the *est the pressure of the allied forces which have land ed at Salonika. A audden drive haa' caused the fell of Strumnltaa, a Bul garian border atronghold fifty mllea north of Salonika. Various polnta dominating the rail' way froiq Salonika to Nlah have been occupied by allied troops, and the pro tection of the line essential for the transport of Anglo-French troops to reinforce the Serblana la regarded aa aaaured, despite unconfirmed rumors that tha Bulgariana have succeeded in outttng the line at Vranje, about twenty mllea tnalde the Serb border; Tldlnga of theae achlevementa fol lowed cloaely upon news from Athens that Serblana with allied assistance ,have repulaed a Bulgarian attack made with a force of 40,000 men at Vllandovo, turning the advance of the Bulgarians Into a retreat beyond their own border. Thna the ac tion In the Balkans la aaaerted by London military obaervera to have been crowned at the outaet with auc cess.

Berlin, however, reporta a success In the Macva district of the Save- Drina front, In northweatern Serbia, where atrong resistance has been of fered to the Teutonic Invaders. The Serbs have begun to retreat, It Is an nounced by German army headquar tera. The German atatement saya: "Our troops are advancing south of Belgrade against Cvetkov-Orob and the village of Vroln. Southeast of Passarowltz we took Crenice and Bo sevac. "The Bulgarians have ocropled the heights of Muelln Percln anl Tallin Zub, and are pushing focwa-d by way of Egri Palanka (northeast of Us kub)." Despatches from varlo-s roll's have reported the prosen-c In Serbia of two other Bulgarian armies north and aouth of that reported b" Perlin to be advancing by way of Egri Palanka. The one to the north is said to have croaaed the border near Belogradchlk, and to be advancing toward Kragule vatz. The one to the south Is moving toward latlb, southeast of Uskat. There ara many Serbian forts to be reduced along thla line. The entire Serbian line on the Bul garian front was being held agalnat the Invaders, notwithstanding tha au periority of the Bulgarian forcea, ac cording to a despatch to tha Parla Tamps from Nlsh under dste of Octo ber Is.

No attempt should lie made to utilize them except In the border or the formal bed. Coming after all except the latest tulip* Is the Spanish Iris, and, though one of the moat attractive for the bor der, It Is one of the cheapest of bulbs, often belnir culled "the poor man'a orchid." To be most effective It ahould be planted lu groups or masses of lb* same kind. All of these bulbs will do well In moderately rich loam that la well drained, but they will often succeed very well In less fsvorable conditions. If they are to lie planted In the border or In lied* "the soli should be worked deep, but uo manure should come in contact with the narcissus, crocus or Bl>siilsb Iris, though well rolled manure may be womed Into the soil where tu lips are to be planted. The depth at which bulbs should be planted varies with the soil, light soils requiring deeper planting tbsn heavy, and with the size of the bulb. As a rule, C(ocii* may In- planted three Inches and Spanish Iris four Inches deep. Nar clasua should have from four to flve Inches of noil above the bulb and should Ih> live to six Inches distant from each other. Tull|>s should lie four Inches lieluw the surface and six Inches npart each way. Sswher** Attachment Per Sheet Stick*.
