GOOD SUGGESTION TO

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISERS

Columbus, N. 1I-, Sox. 11.

Lditor El I'a.-o H.raki.

Would or v.uld it not be a good idea for those advertising property of

any kind foi sale or trade to giie address so that out of the city people can

aJdress them relatite to the matter? Many give phone number "ouly and an

out of town prison cannot sddresh them if he wishes. A case in point: An

"ad" offers for sale lg acies west of the Ysleta Country club, others in a like

manner. Very oft.-n out of city readers of The Herald would take advantage

of sales offer-d if tln could write owners and get direct information. Re

sults would surely be better. J. A. Moore.

London. Eng.. Nov. 1. The exact

situation in central Macedonia is uncer

tain. Dispatches from the near east

are conflicting. It is clear, however,

that the Bulgarians have been rein

forced and have begun a new offensive.

The operations in central Macedonia,

according to Rome accounts, present

a most powerful menace to the armies

of Servia, and her allies, which are

ooerating from Tetovo through Per-

,fp 'SJl" southeastern Servian fron-

tier. Telesrrams received almost simul

taneously from Greece announce that

Tetovo is in the hands of both the Ser

vians and the Bulgarians, bnt the pre

ponderance of evidence points to Bul

garian occupation of this front.

What Will Greece Dof

What Greece will do in event the al

Greek border is still a matter of spec

ulation. A message from Greece says

the government will extend to the

Servians the same privileges as those

accorded to the French and British

in case of their encroachment of Greek

territory, but in view of the fact that

no definite announcement has been

made as to what these privileges will

be, further than the original statement

of premier Skoulondis that the allied

troops would be permitted to reach

the sea unmolested, the Intentions of

Greece remain obscure.
