GREEK CABINET APPROVES
WAR WITH BULGARIA

I
International News Service.
ATHENS. Kepi. 5.—According to a
widely eircrlated rumor the Greek
cabinet has approved a declaration of
war against the Bulgarians after a
somewhat stormy session enduring
throughout Sunday afternoon and
nigh t.
Nothing in the nature of an official
statement can lie obtained although it
is definitely known that the cabinet
has resolved to nccede to the demands
of the allies on other matters.
It is further reported, however, that
the entire question of joining the al
lies in belligerent activities against
the Bulgarians has been left to Pre
mier Za mnis ami upon his decision will
rest the future status of the Greek na
t ion.
It is held by many that Zamais will
not consent to active hostilites owing
to pro-Gorman loaning* but may give
his sanction to a wider extension of
allied authority in Greek territory.
Many of the officials hold that such
action is eminently desirable owing to
the generally disturbed condition of
the country.

TERRIFIC ARTILLERY
ACTION RAGING ON
SOMME FRONT
_ j
Internationa'. News Service.
I ’A I {IS, Sept. 5. Reports to the war
oltlee this evening say that one of
the greatest artillery actions of the
war is raging along the Somme front
despite tains of torrential volume. <)w
ing to the deluge, infantry actions are
practically impossible and both sides
are apparently trying to out shoot the
othir while awaiting an improvement
of conditions.
The reports say the great gun bat
tle extends over practically the entire
length of both the French and British
lines in this sector and the hurricane
of shell sweeping over the Interlying
areas between tRe opposing linos is
Indescribably intense.
Along the Verdun front the military
activities are small, probably owing
to the fact that the attention of both
sides is now concentrated on the great
struggle along the Somme. Thu French
are continuing aggresive operations on
a small scale, however, but no gains
of consequenco have been made for
some time, although there is a con
stant forward movement of the French
lines at many points.
