THE WESTERN FRONT.
ENEMY'S SUPPLY BYSTEM INTERRUPTED.
Efest Of Continuous Artillery Action.
LONDON, September 25, Some light is thrown on the position on the Western front by a cautiously- wordled article in the Paris newspaper Intransigeant, which says "—" With enemy positions efficaciously bombarded, and numerous munition depots blown up, the results of our continuous artillery actions are becoming more and more precisa. It is evident that she enemy's supply system, the methodical working of which we are well able to follow, is badly interrupted, at certain points of the line. The foresight of those who knew that expenditure in shells meant ecurony in life is thus more than justified. Nevertheless the infantry
must have the last word.”

LUCK RECAPTURED.
LONDON, Sept 20.
The Russians have recaptured Luck from the Austrians, taking four thousand prisoners in a battle to the north of the town.

The Germans papers on "Monday"scillenty derated all their attention to the Dalkan situation: Pages headed The Offensive Begina ** côn- tained telegrams from Sofs and Salonika, which, it is sail, had bean "dolayed a week or" a' fortnight and were only now released. These apparently make out a case in advance for Bulgarian mobilisation, alleging that the Serbians are fortifying the frontier against the Bul- garians, that any Bulgarians had been arrested in Greece, etc. Ap- parently, the whole Press has been instructed to make every effort to compromise Bulgaria.

It is pointed out that no anti-British feeling, exists in Bulgaria, where the single-minded concilia- tory policy of Great Britain in the Balkans is fully recognised.
