Balkans Wary

A settlement of the Balkan tangle seems
more remote than ever. There seems no
question but that the Balkan states hold
it within their power to capture Constan-
tinople from the rear; Bulgaria could do
this unaided. But they are very wary OF
entering the struggle. A report from Rome
of August 80 confirmed previous Berlin
dispatch that Bulgaria and Turkey had
reached an agreement insuring Bulgaria s
neutrality. A later report, however, from
Berlin stated that the signing of this
treaty had been postponed, owing to a
warning from the quadruple entente that
such action would be regarded as will
fully unfriendly."

Soldiers Disappear from London

It is reported that London is on the qui
vive of supp ~essed excitement. The cause
of this is the sudden disappearance OF
thousands of soldiers who have been a
familiar sight on her streets. Where have
they gone and what does it mean? Can
it be true that Kitchener's army is at last
on the move? This has been predicted
so often that one greatly hesitates to ven
ture an opinion. However, the deadlock
on the western front can not last forever.
Sooner or later something will happen.

One OF the most surprising features of
the war is the equanimity with which the
Allies regard the triumphal sweep of the
TeutOn forces in Russia. At the verv
moment when the world is questioning
whether the Germans may not press on to
Petrograd, Russia s minister Of war calm
ly announces that far back of the present
fighting front 100000 soldiers are in
training and will be ready to take the
field in the spring. This, with the an
nouncement that Russia s munition fac
tories are now turning out vast supplies,
has caused great optimism in London
Russia evidently is depending upon the
approach of winter to assist in checking
the invasion of her soil Military writer's
are drawing attention to the fact that
the Equinox has previously marked the
limit Of successful campaigning in the
land Of the Muscovites. History records
that the terrible Russian winter is the en-
pires most powerful protection.
Russia denies the rumor that she enter
tains a resentment against her western
allies, stating that such reports are Sc
dulOusly cultivated by Germany to break
the morale of the allied troops.
That there is a well understood plan
among the nations of the quadruple en-
tente, seems apparent, and they appear
unshaken in their determination to fight
until German militarism is worn down and
driven from Europe
In the meantime the invincible German
host sweeps eastward. Nothing stands be-
fore it's advance On August 26, the fort
was considered one of the strongest fort
resses in Europe.
Tt is estimated that ''more than 100000
prisoners, several thousand cannon, and
enough rifles to supply several army divi-
sions have been taken by the Austro Ger
mans since the fall Of Warsaw"
A London report this week states that
"the German offensive in Russia, instead
of abatlng, seems to be growing IN lnten-
sity and scope" Blow after blow has been
delivered, practically along the entire
eastern front.
On August 80, a Berlin dispatch an
nounced that 100000 Russian troops were
in grave danger of being cut off by fly
ing column of German cavalry, and that
the Teutons were employing their favor
ite tactics Of dividing the enemies forces
and annihilating them in sections. How
ever, nothing more has been heard Of this,
and military observers doubt if this can be
effected.
The Grand Duke Nicholas is evidently
master in the strategy of retreat, and
has so far eluded the German generals in
their efforts to corner him.

Wilding's Death Breaks Up

Dwight Davis Donor Of Davis Cup and Tennis Experts Gen.
orally Concede That He Was One of Three
,'~ Greatest Players.

What is generally regarded as having
been the greatest tennis team that ever
competed for the Davis International
Tennis Trophy was broken up by the
announcement yesterday that Anthony
t. Wilding Of New Zealand had been
killed in the fighting at the Dardanclles.
Mr. Wilding was a second lieutenant in
the Royal Marines.
With Norman Z. Brookes, Wilding
made up the first string. Of the Austral-
IAN team which last year won the
worlds championship from the American
team at the West Side Tennis Courts,
New York.

championships. Also. each owned VIC

American won IRON both In last years

Wilding and Brookes both beat Norris

Island last year, while the team work
of the Australian pair in the doubles

Brookes or Wilding appeared in the list
of internationalists, in 1915, and thus
never played against either. He has
watched both IN matches played in this
country. however.
Wilding was born in New Zealand In
1883 From the age of sixteen he won
q succession of tournaments in the Brit
ish Isles. and at one time or another
held every important Championsh'p n
BY many he was rated as the greatest
player the game ever has produced. He
first appeared in the Davis Cup matches
in 1905, and In 1905, with Brookes, sue
Cessfully defended the trophy in Atls-
