Miss Maude Walters Wins the Prize
This Week.

The popularity contest for
the possession OF the fine auto
mobile now drawing to a close
under the joint auspices of these
business firms and the Argus is
creating no end OF interest.
The hustling for new subscrib-
ers for the Argus in order to Sc
cure 1000 votes at one crack,
and the selling OF general mer-
chandise due bills on these
firms is taking the contestants
into the small towns and every.
whore it might be possible to SO.
cure votes for the automobile.
The balloting this week dis.
closes some surprising jumps
and recalls the old adage, "The
battle is not to the swift and
strong, but TO him who endures
to the end"
Who will bo the winner is n
question no one at present can
answer, for as il often occurs in
these contests, the candidate
who lags behind for weeks sud.
denly forgos to the front and
carries off the prize, when some
other is supposed to have II lead
that cannot bo overcome. IL is
all a question OF get.up-and.get-
there. The candidate who gets
out and sells due bills or goes
out after newspaper subscrip'
tions, putting in the spare mo-
monts getting friends to vote by
subscribing for the paper, is the
one who comes in victorious at
the end.
This contest is strictly on a
fair basis, and il must be under
stood that neither these firms
nor the Argus has IA iavorite
candidate, nor will they ask
anyone to vote for n certain
candidate.
Get busy aud go to the SUR
rounding towns. You may be
agreeably surprised over the
votes that are waiting for you,

.BULGARS AND GREEKS
AMAZE THE POWERS
Present Attack on Forts Guard
ing Dardanelles Causing All
Europe to Watch Problem

The Bulgarians and the Greeks have
attacked the Turkish fortresses guard
ing the Dsrdanelles. and all the army
and navy experts of Europe are hurry
ing to express their amazsment at the
audacity of the two little kingdoms in
assailing the key to Oonstantinople.
The capital of the Ottoman empire
holds a geographical position unique.
1t is built on the shore of the Sea of
Marmora. little pocket of water lying
between the Black Sea and the Mediter.
ranean.
In the Black Sea floats a Russian
feet formidable enough to blow Con.
s,antinople off the map of Europe and
make the site of that famous city only
q smudge on piece of paper.
Ia the Mediterranean. tugging fatu-
ously at idle anchor, lie the fleets of
England, France, Germany. Austria
and Italy.
And yet for many decades the Turk
has defied the navIes in the Mediter
ranean and the Black Seas. The Otto
man Government mas declared that the
Russian fleet in the Black Sea shall not
enter the Sea of Marmora and that the
fleets of the other powers shall remain
in the Mediterranean.
Constantinople has been regarded as
holding an impregnable position be-
cause a narrow strait, scarce mile
wide. called the D&danelles, links the
Mediterranean with the Marmora, while
a similar strait links Marmora with the
Black Sea-
These narrow straits are guarded by
fortressess bristling with Krupp guns
All Europe for half century has be-
lieved that these great Krupp guns can
demolish any fleet of battleships that
dare try to batter its way through the
Dardanelles.
Now come the Bulgars and the Greeks.
They have whipped Turkey to it's knees
and their armies hold all Of the land be-
tween the Adriatic and the Black Seas.
Now they are attacking the forts of the
| Dardaneiles.
If Bulgarian troops, attacking the ia
nous fortresses of the Dardenelles from
the land side, succeed in capturing them,
there is nothing left of the Ottoman
empire in Europe. The Greek feet can
pass through the Dardanelles into the
Sea Of Marmora, and once there can an.
nihilate the Intellectual squadrons of the
Turkish feet
Then Oonstantinople must fall.
There need be no life sacrificing battle
along the Tchatalja lines. Once the
Greek fleet gets into the Sea OF Marmora
the war is at All end.
The Bulgars and the Greeks, in as
sailing the fortresses of the Dardenelles.
are attempting what all Europe for half
century has declared impossible.
Europe is amazed at their temerity and
will be still more amazed if they sue
ceed.
If the Dardenelles fortresses fall Eu
rope will be confronted with grave
problem-no less than the problem OF
fixing the future ownership of the city
of Oonstantinople.
For if the Greek feet enters the Sea
of Marmora Ottoman rule in Europe is
at an end.-San Francisco Examiner.
