ALLIES AND BAL KANS
GETTING NEAR TERMS
(By the Associated Press).

London, Aug. "a Reuter- dispatch
from Sofia says:
THAT the allies should reply to the
Bulgarian note of June while the
Austro-German advance in Russia still
is unchecked has created considerable
surprise in diplomatic circles here.
The reply which relates to Bulgaria's
demand for cessation of territory now
held by rival Balkan states has not
yet been made public and all COM
ments regarding it's terms is purely
speculative.
Submission of the reply at this
critical time is subject to two inter-
pretations. One is that the allies are
e~ndeavoring to anticipate the cOnclu-
sion Of a TurkO-Bulgarian agreement.
1t has been reported recently that Tur-
key had bought Bulgaria's neutrality
by cOnceding the Dedeaghatch railway
to the latter country.
1.-THE secOn Interpretation is that
while the reply might have been made
earlier it was held so the allies could
be in q position to offer entirely salts
factory terms to Bulgaria. This
theory is supported by the negotia.
tons Of the allies with Greece anG
Serbia regarding the cession of dis.
puted territory to Bulgaria in return
for the latter'S active cooperation or
the side of the allies. It is believed
here that negotiations are entering {
decisive phase, although the cabIne
has not been summoned to consider
reply to the allies note"

BRITISH WANT POWERBOATS.
Order 500 Speedy Craft to Combat
German Submarines.

New York, Aug. S.-Dispatches
from Washington state that the British
government has adopted a plan SINH
lar to that suggested by a Long Island
man recently and that it has placed
an order in this country for 500
speedy powerboats to be uscd against
the German submarine raiders.
1t was James B. Herreshoff, jr., Of
SPA North Beech street, Richmond
Hill, N. Y, prominent engineer, who
formulated such a plan several weeks
ago after close study of the problem
of successfully coping with submarine
warfare, and the plan of the British
government is SO precisely similar in
detail as to suggest that it has fol-
lowed Mr.. Herreshoff's suggestion.
The powerboats the British have or
dered are to be used to patrol the
ocean lanes as he suggested. The
boats will be armed with guns fore
and aft, and capable of developing a
speed Of SO miles an hour. They are
to be from SO to 80 feet long and of
such light draft that they will offer nc
satisfactory marks for a torpedo.
The powerboats will not only be OF
great Use as submarine destroyers, bu,
can be used to convoy ammunition
ships and merchantmen. For the cost
Of a battleship thousands of these
sea wasps' could be built.

Questions arising from the recent
Pan-American financial conference
also are said to have been taken up.
Before leaving for Washington Mr..
Lansing declined to make any state
ment. Mr.. McAdoo was summoned
here yesterday from Maine to meet
Mr.. Lansing.
The two Cabinet members were to-
gether for several hours. Much in
terest was attached to the meeting
because of the report that Mr.. Nc
Adoo, who had seen President Will
son at Cornish, during the week, was
supposed to convey to Mr.. Lansing
the Presidents exact ideas regarding
plans to bring the warning Mexican
leaders together. There were reports
that the object of the meeting was to
arrange financial measures necessary
to establish a stable government in
the southern republic. On these and
other matters, Mr.. Lansing declined
to talk.

FOR VARIATION IN THE MENU
There Are Days When Fish Will Be
Appreciated, and Baked Cod Can
Be Recommended.

Here Is a good way of baking cod:
Have the fish skinned and backbone
removed. Lay on an earthenware plat
ter, open. Sprinkle with salt and pep
per, dip oysters separately in melted
butter, then in crumbs and lay on one
half of fish. When covered fold other
side over, brush with beaten egg, mois-
ten the crumbs with the butter. There
will be some oyster liquor in the but
ter from dipping. but use it. Cover
the fish with the crumbs SO prepared.
Do not put any water on the fish. Set
pan of water under the platter to keep
platter from cracking and have oven
hot A four-pound fish will require
one-half pint oysters, one-half pint
crumbs and one-quarter cupful Of but
ter. Bake about forty minutes. Serve
on the platter it is baked in. II you
wish to bake the fish with the skin
and bone on put plenty of strips Of
fat pork over it and haste with the
drippings. Never use water for baked
fish. Do not bake too long. When
the flakes separate it Is done. When
baked on a platter, without the skin.
1t requires no basting.
