Contract 8, 1916. ———eeeeseoeseeeeeeeeeee THE BALKANS The latest report from the Near East, to effect that Von Mackenzen lead the Central Salo- niki, is a direct contradiction of the despatch of the day before, but is probably the true one. First, the Germans were send- ing this great leader to Alsace to engineer a big offensive; then hé war going to the Bess- arabian front to stop the Rus- sian advance, and now we have him remaining in Serbia. Well, he has got to be somewhere, and will be kept equally busy no matter on which front he may be placed. It is gratifying to find that the Greek soldiers are ready and anxious to fight. All they need are the necessary orders, and they will be at the throats of the Turks and Bulgars in a flash. It is now quite clear that the Greek people will not stand for an invasion of their country by the Central Powers, no matte where their ruler’s sympathies may be. If the reports of newspaper strategists are worth anything, the position of the Allies at Saloniki is impregnable no matter though the Austrians, Germans, Bulgarians and Turks have many more men than are at the-disposal of the the will Powers against Allies. There is no doubt that in any such action, the huge fleet which is watching the Greek coast will be able to as- sist materially in the shelling of the enemy’s positions. If the Saloniki attack is begun, it is a clear intimation that Ger- many’s designs on Egypt are still there is nothing to be gained by simply taking Saloniki. The great way to the Far East is undoubtedly the ultimate object. That the uppermost, as Central Powers will ultimately fail in their object seems just as certain as the fact that they failed to reach Paris. utation existing Get“More Money” for your Foxes Muskrat, White Weasel, Beaver, Lynx, Wolves, Marten and other Fur bearers collected in your section J S DIRECT ¢ “SHUBERT & t SHIP YOUR FURS D oe o ao house in the World a reliable—responsible—safe Fur House with an wnblecsisned rep- NOTES AND COMMENTS === didates while Prince Rupert has only two, and Sam thinks we have one too many. yee have money to What They evidently bury down Cincinnati way. a conflagration with $300,000 worth of bills in Rupert? s 2 8 It is reported that the city has $25,000 to burn, yet the people on the hill can’t get a paltry little hydrant because the folks on Park Avenue needed water. eo. 2. 7% The boys are working hard on that skating rink at Market Place.
