The statement continues: The ‘most violent artillery fire continues, practically uninter- rupted, day and night west of the Vardar river. Several infantry attempts to advance near Alchak- mah were repulsed. The enemy maintained an extreme fire - all day against' the Bulgarian posi- tions south of Lake Doiran and - during the ‘night made several consecutive attacks with great Dpersistence. The first attack, delivered in column at 9 in the evening, was driven back by artillery, machine guns, rifles and bonb fire with severe losses to the attackers. A second attempt at 11 o’clock was also repulsed, the enemy only penetrating our positions at one point, whence he was driven out by & counter attack. - A third furious attack ‘at 1 o'clock reached certain points in the Bul- gar trenches but the attackers were driven out later with the bayonet with great losses. An hour later another attempt was rather easily repulsed. Germans Using Fresh Troops.

HIGGINS PROMISE® TO EXPLODE ..OMB > Will Subpoena Prominent Residents t0 Testify at Police Court Hearing Tomorrow, Sensational testimony relative to an alleged conspiracy whereby partners prevented the clearing of title to real estate holdings on the Glendale tuctl ! and' blocked honest endeavors to de- liver ownership of purchase made is expected in police court tomorrow at the continued arraignment of John J. Higgins, local real estate broker, proprietor of Thompsonville Inn, who is held under charges of obtain- ing money under false pretenses. In the complaint, he is charged with having received instaliment payments from a patron and refusal to transfer title of a lot the alleged . purchaser thought he had bought. Higgins, rep- resented by Attorney J. A. Glover, pleaded guilty to taking the money and not gullty to an attempt to de- fraud, when arraigned at & prelimin- ary. hearing several days ago. Hel! contends that he is the victim of oth- ers and that differences as to the own- ership of the tract in question and the refusal of others to clear the title has prevented him from transferal of ownership. In an interview today, Higgins inti- ‘mated that a civil suit for a large sum is to be one result of the alleged chaotic conditions causing his present plight and that prominent business and professional men of the city will be named as defendants. Higgins has made arrangements to vindicate him- self and refute the allegations that he made any attempt to defraud. He contends that he accepted installment payments in the honest bellef that the title to property was clear and he had authority to transfer same. Blue prints of the Glendale tract, bank account records and other manuscripts relative to the alleged partnership have been collected for use at the thearing. According to the admissions of Higgins and Attorney Glover, a number of prominent business and professional men will be .cited in the testimony. NO SEPARATE PEACE FOR U. S. Secretary Lansing Declares Any Offer Made to This Country Must Be Extended to All Alles. ‘Washington, . May 11.—Any peacse proposals which the German govern- ment contemplates making to the United States now or in future will have to be addressed to the Entente Allies as well. This was clearly indi- cated by Secretary um-in. late yes- terday when he said that' peace terms would be considered by the United States and the Allies jointly. Secretary Lansing regards all the talk emanating from _irresponsible circles concerning peace offers as un- timely. This government, like all the Entente governments, is highly de- sirous of peace along the lines indi- cated by President’ Wilson's message to congress declaring that a state of war existed. But ag this peace, in- volving the trilumph of . democracy, necessarily means the eradication of autocratic German militarism, no statesman here or in the Entente countries of Furope expects it to come now while Germany’s military power remains flourishing. Other abortive peace offers, whether inspired for hidden motives by Berlin or not, are of no interest either to the United States or the Entente. No reports have reached the state department concerning any new peace offer by Germany ,according to Sec- retary Lansing .
