LONDON. Dec. 1.-THE Balkan
states continue to dominate both the
military and diplomatic situation In
Europe. Roumania's attitude appar-
emily Is causing the central powers
great uneasiness, while Greece's re-
ftsal to limit its military effective
ness as requested by the Entente is
Of equal concern to those powers.
Ronmania isisaid to be only awaiting
the presence In the Balkins Of pre-
ponderant Entente military forces be-
fore sdespatching an ultimatum to
Austria and Germany, according to
dispatches reaching London. More
oyer.it is reported that Austria is OPP
posed to the idea and possibility Of
Bulgarian domination Of the Balkan
states and 1t is suggested that a de-
sire to forestall any friction In this
connection was responsible for the
German emperor's recent visit 10
Vienna.
Greece steadfastly refuses to COLI
cede Entente demands for unrestrict-
ed use, Of the Greek port OF Saloniki

to remove Its army from Macedonia.
Except for. the. capture of Prisrend
by the Bulgarians there has been no
marked change in the Serbian mill
tary situation. The fate or Monastir.

Bulgars. remains obscure, notwith-
standing definite reports that neutral
corsuls in the city had arranged to
turn It over to the attaches after the
Withdrawal Of the Serbians. Later

feommunication with the city was still
maintained, indieat ting that 1t had not
been entirely evacuated. KS Is,
The eastern front has been cornpaf-
atively quiet. The Russians are re-
ported as being greatly strengthened
along the Riga line, imbued with the
confidence that they. can shatter the
German defenses whenever a forward
move is deemed expedient.
Vienna reports that the Italians
seem determined! to capture Gorilla
with the least possible loss OF time,
but progress against the defenses Of
the town; is exceedingly slow. :.

San Francisco. August 6.-An advisory board of F, representing equally the led eral, state and municipal governments of the country, to bring about close CO., operation between the three branches in dealing with problems of employment and unemployment was named today at the closing session of the United States de- partment of labor conference on employ ment

gress and that they liked tho general plan of the American government.
 In the conference today were Secretary Lansing, Paul Fuller. President Wilson s unofficial adviser in Mexican affairs. and the diplomatic representatives of Argen- tina, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala. At the conclusion of a ses- sion lasting three hours Secretary Lans- ing said there was nothing to be an- nounced except that the conference would be continued in New York. He will notify the diplomats when he is ready to re- sume. New York. he said, was select ed for the convenience of the diplomats, many of whom have summer places neal there.
 There was no change in the first step to send final representations to the mil itary leaders and to General Carranza Tn particular. demanding for the sake of tho millions of noncombatants, that they form a new government that can be rec ognized and supported by the Americar nations and the world.
 An alternative proposes the selection of strong man for President whom q majority of the people would support One who has not been engaged in tho civil warfare would be insisted upon. Involved in such plan are man, obstacles, but 1t was agreed that thel are surmountabie. That the plan mighI neeessitate an embargo on munitions o war to any faction which refuses to rec ognize the new government is probable Rumors that breach had occurred over personalities were emphatically de nied and 1t Is said the discussion hac l not yet reached the stage where the pres | idency was being considered. The statu! of General Carranza and General Villi was freely considered and debated. Tn fact that Carranza has refused to con fer with his adversaries whom he con siders conquered was discussed.
 l Questions of international law. variou' provisions of the Mexican constitution and the probability that many of Car ranza's adherents might not follow hin into defiance of genuine Pan-Americai effort to restore peace and governmen | in tEeir country are to be carefully stud
 fed before the final programme is de
 termned.

Montgomery, August 6--(Specal.)-The Bible some-uhere says that "all men are liars" W/-n the representative of The Age-Herald asked Mrs. Bessie O Brien Hundley to express her opinion regarding the action last night of the house com mittee on elections and privileges, 1t was with the idea that she would very prompt ly declare that the truth of the biblical quotation, referred to above, had been exemplified.
 As a matter of fact. however the leader of the suffragettes did not limit her re- marks to any one terse. though over-rid- den. sentence.

 Man, the Deceiver
 As The Age-Herald reported this horn ing. the committee by vote of 2 to 6 adversed the bill under which the cause of equal suffrage would have been sub mtted to the people. It has always been the general understanding that IA of the IS members of the committee had prom ' majority of those present pursued a course diametricaly opposite to that which they had promised, according to the understanding, to pursue. coupled with the fact that the author of the bill, MT. Greene of Dallas, was absent caused general surprise and much gossip of an entre nous variety. Last night Mrs. Hund- ley was disappointed. Her statement of this morning would indicate that she was also angered to a more or less alarming degree. 1T
