POSTPONE AUTO RACE DATES
Speed Meet Is Put Over Drivers
Are Satisfied With the Change
and All Will Compete.

The Vanderbilt auto classics have
been postponed until the first week
in October. The Vanderbilt cup
event will be run off on Oct. 2, the
Pabst blue ribbon and Wisconsin
challenge trophies on Oct. 3, and the
Grand Prix on Oct, 3.
The decision to change the dates
was reached after prolonged ses-
sion of the officials, drivers and mem
bers of the Milwaukee Automobile
Dealers association.
When the Vanderbilt cup race was
called off word was passed around
to the dealers and drivers to be on
hand for the meeting, when plans
would be discussed 1t was apparent
that it would be impossible TO hold
the races under present weather con
ditions, and the dealers left it to
the drivers to name the date on
which they would be held. After a
conference, the drivers chose the
dates, afterward selected. These
were agreeable to the dealers and
officials.

Fond du Lac.-The visit of party
of Northwestern railway officials
from Chicago and Green Bay at Calu-

In the event that the Northwestern

ganda for war. The massacre Of 1852
Bulgarians by Turks in August at
Kotschana has stirred the nation
deeply. Meetings have been held in
all parts of Bulgaria at which Turkey
has been fiercely denounced. The in
surrection of the wild Albanian tribes
has opened the eyes of Greece and
-Servia and for the first time Bulgaria
faces the Turkish problem in accord
with these two countries. More i'm
portant, there is an earnest convic-
ton that the present international sit
uation offers the Bulgarians the best
chances of success because 1t is
thought that Austria will decline to
move owing to the internal relations
of the triple alliance.
Although Russia declares she is not
prepared for war, 1t is believed in
Balkan states that she, with Great
Britain and France, is in a position to
defend the Balkan Slavs. The failure
Of King Ferdinand and his ministers
to induce the powers to insist upon
the adoption of autonomy in Mace

Macedonian leaders declare they are
persuaded that only desperate meas.
