BaIk IN Union Restored

6aIN WI CiuOu FlCSA0tSQ
The Bulgarian minister announced
today that an agreement has been
reached between Roumania and Bul
garia under which Roumania will re
store to Bulgaria the province OF
IDobrudja and most Of the other terri
tory which she acquired from Bulga-
ria as result of the second Balkan
war.
This agreement has been reached
without pressure from either Germany
of the allies, said an official connect
ed with the Bulgarian ministry. I'VE
shall continue to be friends, but Ru-
mania although she has no cause to
fear us, also will remain neutral
It has been asserted here that the
fear Of Bulgaria alone had praeVnted
Roumania from invading Austria and
entering the war.
If Greece would return Kavala and
the Macedonian territory she annexed
during the second Balkan war and
Servia would restore to us the Mace.
donian provinces she occupied, despite
her agreement, 1912, the Balkan
union could be reconstructed, said
the Bulgarian official Under these
circumstances a lasting peace would
ibe established in the Balkans. But
unfortunately neither Greece nor Ser
via has shown an intention to revise
the treaty of Bucharest"
The secretary to the Servian throne
Prince Alexander, on receiving Prince
Troudeskoy when the prince delivered
his credentials from emperor Nichol
as at Nish yesterday, said:
"Servia guides her own national in
terests, meaning that Servia was not
ready to return the Macedonian pro
vinces.
"A constructed Balkan union would
favor neither the allies nor Germany,
nor would it have any aggressive in
tentions. Roumania's Transylvanian
aspirations, Greece's' claims to Turk
ish islands, 'Servias differences with
Austria bring about such conflict of
interests that it would be impossible
to throw the union as whole, one
way or the other. Our relations with
Turkey will remain friendly. We do
not desire Adrianople.

FATE OF WARSAW NOT YET DECIDED

trians to force the Russian lines into
the CaTpathian mountains at Sanoka
and Lisko failed yesterday in spite
of a night attack.
1t is assumed that an Austrian of
ficer an aviator, shot down at Bircha,
IA miles southwest Of Przemysl, was
carrying messages between the two
Austrian forces.
The Austrian operations are render
ed difficult by the fact that valleys
north and south of tnIs region cut the
troops in separate columns and make
IA massed front impossible.
The chief scene of the recent op-
erations is about the mouth of the
Mesalaboretz pass, which is trayersed
by a double track railroad. from Ho-
mane, with the nearest railroad to the
west of the city 81 miles away The
nearest pass to the east is about the
same distance and is held by the Rus
slams.

Concerning the situation in Poland
there was little information. The
German war office said that fierce
fiqhtlnu was in progress there, and
that at some points German troops
had crossed the Bzura river on their
way toward Warsaw 'F
In the opinion of the French mill
tary authorities, the Germans are be-
aiming to loose their grip In France
and Belgium. An official summary OF
the results achieved by the allies in
their offensive movement recounts
progress at many points which "seens
TO have disturbed the enemy"
There is conflict of statements
concerning the campaign in the east.
The Russian war office challenges re-
cent accounts of great German VIC
tory in Poland by denying "malevolent
reports" Of the last few days. While
it is admitted at Petrograd that the
recent retirement Of the Russian
forces TO new positions was not en-
tirely voluntary, the claim is made
that the armies are now in safer and
stronger positions. ~

The ultimate outcome OF the Ger

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
 IS PROGRESSIVE STRUCTURE

The Democratic Territorial conven. ton at Skagway had proper appre- citation of the great work done for Al. aska by the present national admins tration, and pays a deserved tribute to the splendid efforts of President Wilson and his immediate family. In addition the platform declares for many needed reforms in this territory and for measures that would tend to the betterment of conditions and the development of Alaska. Then too there is declaration for the primary election law and the Australian ballot These are progressive measures that must come in time and sentiment should be so eIerted as to bring them quickly. The regulation of the fisher ies is another matter that is urged, also the giving of full territorial pow CTS to Alaska. In fact the platform is filled with substantial blanks upon which great country could success. fully be builded and a Democracy es. tablished that would endure for gen. erations.-Chitina Leader.

 NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH

DOUGLAS. Sept. 2. = The Seattle Post-Intelligencer of August 27th gives the following account of the mar. row escape of a former Douglas wo. man and her young son during the Admiral Sampson disaster of that date:
 Mrs. Phil McCaul, 26 Federal build ing, Tacoma, woman past middle age, was the last to leave the decks of the Sampson by the rope ladder slung from the bows of the Princess Victoria, Standing in icy water up to her waist, sucked down as the crippled steamer took her final plunge, Mrs, McCaul held her 5.year- old son Emmet high over head, be- lieving her end had come, but deter. mined to save her boy.
 Capt w. Spritt, of the stewards de- partment of the Sampson, saved the boy and Mrs. McCaul. .
 q was on my way to Douglas to visit my boys for just a few days" said Mrs. McCaul. q was awake when the collision came, had been awake most of the night.
 q heard the fog signals blowing on our own boat and heard an answering whistle. There seemed to be no shock of collision, just a scraping noise,
 somebody called to me to come on deck at once, was already dressing and had the boy wrapped up. My purse was lying on my berth, but didn't even stop for that.
 "When I got to the deck the passen- gers were crowding about the ladder from the ship that struck us. There wasn't any panic. think they acted splendidly.
 "A young sailor, who wouldn't tell me his name, tried to get Emmett on to the ladder for me, but he was call ed away to obey an order. Of course, people were crowding to get up the ladder, and had to wait for turn

ADMIRAL EVANS GETS
 VALUABLE CARGO

The Admiral Evans, Capt, NJ. M. Jen. sen, Is enroute to the south with full complement of passengers and 33,00O cases of salmon, one of the most val. uable fish cargoes ever shipped from Alaska. The cargo was taken aboard at points to the Westward, including Kodiak, seldovia, Point Graham, and Yakutat. The ship also had 200 Southbound passengers aboard when she reached Juneau about 10 o'clock last night and every available berth was sold by the local agency long be- fore the vessel touched the dock here. Some of the passengers were tourists who have been making the round trip, but the majority were those making regular business trips, and cannery heads with their crews who have fin ished the seasons operations. ofl- cers of the ship report exceedingly rough and nasty weather all the way from Kodiak to Juneau.
 Passengers for Juneau aboard the vessel were: George vingar G. B. Bar Der, A. A. Smith, Joe Day, Miss Ruby DeGraffe, J. M. Fonville, b. Rasmus- son and wife, and Alfred Kyte.

VALDEZ FOUNDED BY
 CAPT. zlMRoE MOORE

"The founder of Valdez, gentlemen" said the speaker at a reception ar ranged in honor of the excursion party which President H. F. Alexander of the Pacific Alaska Navigation Con- pany. conducted to Alaska aboard the steamship Admiral Sampson last May, the occasion being a smoker arranged by the Tilikums of Valdez, And there was thrust into the center of the group of several hundred men Capt. zimroe Moore, who lost his life when the Sampson went down at Point.No- Point this morning,
 Smiling in acknowledgment of the introduction, the big seafaring man submitted to his forcible entry into the spotlight but refused to make the speech that was called for. He simply replied:
 "That is what they call me-"
 There were others there, however, at that meeting who described the part played by the skipper of the Ad- miral Sampson in starting the town whose name will always be, linked with the history of the Northern Elm plre.
 It was one of the many big things Capt. Moore did for the Northeland. For years he had sailed the Alaskan waters and was, undoubtedly, the>best known of the masters who travelled between Puget Sound and Alaska ports. Nor was any one of them bet ter liked and more generally admired and respected.
 The devotion of his crew for Capt. Moore was tradition of local shipping circles. Few changes ever took place in deck crew or stewards crew when Capt. Moore once assumed charge of boat. Once signed with him, his as. sistants never wanted to leave his service.
 Capt. Moore was born at Bangor, Me, fifty years ago. Practically all his life was spent at sea. The longest time he was away from a vessels deck was when he served as deputy United States marshal at Unga, Alas ka, for four years. On March l of this year he assumed command of the steamship Admiral Sampson.
 Capt. Moores father, Capt, w. c. Moore, and brother, c. A. Moore, reside in Port Townsend. Three nieces survive, all living in this city. They are Misses Georgia, Iris and AL vera Moore. sister-in-law, Mrs, Au- gusta Moore, also lives here. Another brother, Arthur, resides at Pasadena, Cal.-Seattle Times.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 HAD TO THREATEN

A Washington special to the New York World states that President Woodrow Wilson threatened to put 100 ,OOO troops into Mexico under Gen, Funston at the time, early in August, that Villa and Carranza were talking about marching to Mexico City with their armies. The situation became acute. with the likelihood that Villa might adopt freebooter tactics. The dispatch says, further:
 "The President despatched in great haste. as personal envoy with plenary mowers to handle the situation, Paul Fuller. senior member of the New York firm of Coudert Brothers. The lawyer left Washington with only a small suitcase, accompanied by phy- sician, carrying the following sharp message from President Wilson:
 "'That this government would not allow the Constitutionalists to take Mexico City by force, inasmuch as the Federal troops were willing to eyacu- ate and that the United States would not tolerate footing. murder or any of the methods usually employed by ar mics in Mexico
 If Carran2a did not guarantee to meet the demand for a peaceful entry and for protection of life and property of residents of the city, Mir. Fuller was instructed to inform him that Cen. Funston would be ordered to the cap. ital forthwith and that the United States would take immediate steps to occupy the country.
 "Mr. Fuller was told to inform Car ranza specifically that President Will son proposed to put an army of 100000 across the border, if necessary to handle any situation. He was in structed to explain to the Constitu- tionalists that the United States had supported them upon conviction that they propose to effect honest reforms and that any attempt to employ tao tics of freebooters would result in oc- cupation of Mexico by the United Staes army.
 Mir. Fuller was scheduled to meet Villa Thursday morning. On the fol lowing morning the news dispatches from Mexico announced that the sit uation had clarified, Mexico City was occupied peacefully
