Turkey In Europe from Tchatalja and
the Black sea as far west as the Var
dar river. with the exception Of Salon
Xxi and a small bit to the north. But,
although this was the larger share of
the spells, Bulgaria wanted more. She
insisted that western Macedonia, which
the Greeks and Servians had taken
from the Turks, should be turned over
to her. In trying to acquire this small
addition OF territory she not only failed
in that undertaking, but lost a large
part Of the territory east Of the vardar
river which the allies would willingly
have assigned to her In the beginning.
AS a result OF the war with Bulga-
ria. Greece and Servia gained a large
portion OF that territory on the west
ern side and the Turkish forces moved
northward to Adrianople and well up
to the AEGEAN sea. After fighting two
great wars, spending hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars and losing many thou
sands Of soldiers Bulgaria finds herself
impoverished. with only a fraction OF
the additional territory which would
have come to her without effort or cost
prior to her war upon the allies.
Greece has practically doubled her
area and population. Her success has
been due to the valor OF her soldiers.
the military genius OF King Constan-
tine and the capable administration OF
Prime Minister venizelos. She had
promised the allies at the beginning of
the war to put $4,000 soldiers into the
field. She actually had 250,0O0, and
this number she retained In the war
with Bulgaria.

We're as brave and heroic as their an

Washington. Strong representa-
tions the most drastic in phraseology
that have been made since the pres
ent American administration came
into power, were made to the Huerta
government in Mexico.
The United States government de-
manded not only the prompt arrest,
court-martial and punishment of the
Mexican federal soldier who shot
Charles B. Dixon, an American immi-
grafton official at Juarez Mexico, but
the immediate release of Charles
Bissell and Bernard Mcdonald,
mining managers, imprisoned by fed
eral soldiers at Chihuahua City and
said to be threatened with execution.
So serious were these incidents re-
garded in official circles that they
over.shadowed largely the theoretical
considerations of policy which the
visit of Ambassador Henry Lane Will
son had brought to a climax. The
Ambassador himself was so exercised
over the developments in Mexico that
he dictated two strong kilograms
one to the embassy at Mexico City
and the other to the American consul
at Juarez-and while Secretary Bryan
slightly modified their tone, they were
approved and promptly dispatched.

sentatives Unable to Agree.
TROUBLE OVER THE INTEREST
Old Dominion Estimates Junior
States Share, including Ac-
crued Interest, At
s2t,oooooo.

Washington. - Hopelessly deadlock
ed and as far apart as they were the
day their conferences opened, the
Joint commissions from West Virginia
ana Virginia appointed % apportion
West Virginia snare Of virsin1a's ola
state debt adjourned here to meet
again on August IL.
The Virginians delivered an ulti-
matum to the West yirginians. The
former declared that they would not
open up the question of amount of
principal West Virginia should pay and
would only negotiate as to the amount
of interest. West Virginia insisted
upon reopening both the questions of
principal and interest.
In delivering their ultimatum, the
Virginians contended that the decree
of the United States Supreme Court,
in holding that West Virginia should
assume responsibility for a share of
Virginia's before-the-war debt, fixed
the amount of principal at S7,19S,000
and left the amount of interest to be
settled between the two States. The
older States Commissioners, there
fore, held that it would be equivalent
to contempt of court for the two COM
missions to enter into negotiations to
change the amount of principal as
fixed by the Supreme Court.
1t was upon this rock that the nego-
tiations were wrecked. West Virginia
would not concede that the question of
principal had been definitely settled
and Virginia would not recede from
her ultimatum.
From the way members of the two
commissions talked the long-standing
controversy is as hopelessly dead
locked as it has been for 80 years. 1t
is possible that subcommittee will
be appointed by each commission
when the next meeting is held and
that these will be asked to reach some
decision.
Some of the Commissioners even
regard this plan as hopeless. The
opinion is strong among them that an
agreement between the two States
will never be reached and that the
Supreme Court, which fixed the prin-
cipal at s7138,O0O, will in the end be
called upon to adjudicate the amount
of interest West Virginia should add
to the principal.
According to Virginia's estimate the
interest will be between $14,000.000
and $4,000, 900, running the aggregate
up to $21,000,0O0 West Virginia does
not admit such high interest amount.
The debt controversy between the
two States has been hanging fire ever
since West Virginia was carved from
Virginia in the Civil War Virginia
has contended that West Virginia
should have taken over a portion of
her State debt when she left the
mother State, as the money was spent
in internal improvements in that part
of the State. If West Virginia ever
pays her share of the old bonds, Vir-
ginia will not be financially benefited.
The money will go to the holders OF
the old bonds, which Virginia refused
to pay, claiming that West Virginia
should pay them. Virginia, however,
has been using her good offices trying
TO collect the money for the old bond
holders.
