"CHECKERS’ AT DREAM.
One of the greatest race track
stories ever written, "Checkers” has
been picturlzed in five thrilling parts.
Thos. W. Ross (not the life saver) and |
Katherine La Salic have the loading
roles of "Checkers” and "Pert.” Real
and sensational races are portrayed
and when "Checkers" put all his coin
on Remorse at 100 to 1, hoping to win
a stake, and also a girl. It is a 100 to
1 that every one in the theater will
"pull” for Remore to win. Quite dif
ferent to the general run of pictures
it will prove a novelty as well as a
"good show.”

STUPENDOUS BATTLE FRONTS
AFLAME AROUND BULGARIA
iMiernationctl Service.
LONDON, Oct. U. A series of de
ciisve battles arc now raging on fronts 1
over five hundred miles m length and
which nearly surround or threaten
Bulgaria.
All of the Teutonic allies are en
gaged on one front or another. The
entire Bulgarian army is in action in
conjunction with strong forces of Get
mans, Austrians, Hungarians and
Turks.
Opposed to them are immense num
bers of Russians and Roumanians lo
gether with largo armies of British,
French, Italians and Servians.
It is now almost certain that the
Roumanian army which a few days
ago forced a passage of the Danube |
at a point 50 miles south of Bucharest
and invaded Bulgaria a considerable
distance has been defeated overwhelm
ingly and forced to retreat.
Largely reinforced Italian forces
are aiding the Servians in then at
tempt lo drivi the German-Austro
Hnngarian and Bulgarian invaders
from Herrin and a gigantic drive is
in progress on that front.
Along the entile Salonika front tin
British and French aie pounding
away at the Bulgars and her Teutonic
allies.
The long line of battle extending
from Tortukai to the Black sea is
actively engaged in a death struggh
with Bulgers, Turks, and Teuton. The
Russian-Roumanian forces on this
front arc under the personal direction
ill Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia.
Opposed to him is the famous Field
Marshal Von Mackensen of Prussia
who is m supreme command of the
armies of the central powers in this
i f gion.
This concentrated and simultaneous
passim on all fronts affecting lini
n': riu is the result of a concerted plan
on Ihe part of the entente allies which
has long been under consideration.
These concerted attacks appear to
have been foreseen with great accur
acy by the German general staff for
prodigious efforts are now known to
have hi i n put forth to oppose them.
Tin unexpected strength of the Teu
tonic allies is conceded in high mili
tar\ circles to be disconcerting. That
such powerful opposition should have
been met on all fronts has surprised
even the less sanguine in high com
mand.
News of the disaster which seems
almost certainly to have overtaken the
Roumanian invasion is expected to
result in an altered plan of campaign
but full confidence still exists in spite
of reverses that the entente allies will
u eomplish their purpose which is to
sweep across Bulgaria and Servia and
completely sever Turkey from her al
lies.
It is thoroughly understood that the
titanic struggle in the Balkans has
only begun. The Times i.n comment
ing on this phase of the subject calls
attention to the fact that Ihe Somme
drive has been in progress a full three
months with uiil\ slight gains, ui
says that the Balkan campaigj,
not consist so much of tr#-1
fare and that therefor*- inov**m* nt

International News Service.
LONDON, Oct. 6.—It is otlieiallj
stated that the lighting which for the
past 24 hours has consisted chiefly
of artillery duels and trench charges |
on the Somme front has become gener
al along the whole western front.
An allied raid followed a gas attack
east, of Loos. A hand to hand con
flict followed and later a general in
fantry attack began.
Active operations have also begun
on the French-Belgian border oust of
Armentieres. Heavy cannonading and
repeated charges signalized the opera
tion in this section.
Inspitc of a steady hammering along
the lines advancing on Bapaume very
little progress has been made, (lain
was made of a first line trench and
forty prisoners were capture'd.
Tho increasing activity on the whole
front is attributed by experts to the
plan of the allies to drive in concert
on all fronts.
