Formidable Expedition to Aid of
Threatened Balkan Country
May Now be on Way.
TO OFFSET BUGAR MOVE.
Bulgaria's Entrance Into War on
Teuton Side Considered Ger
tain Before Oct. Is.

Paris, Oct. 1.-The Temps an
nounces that France and Great Brit
ain already have taken military
measures to defend Serbia and
Greece against Bulgarian aggression.
The Temps does not indicate what
armed steps have been taken by the
allies, nor is anything official avail
able respecting their military dispo-
sitions. 1t is presumed in military
circles here, however, that a formid-
able expedition will land either at
Kavala or Saloniki, or that it al
ready may be landing.
The indications are that Italy and
Russia are cooperating with France
and Great Britain in this joint move
ment, althou gh the actual military
forces probably will be drawn from
Great Britain and France, the Ital-
ians lending their aid in the Medi-
terranean and the Russians on the
Black sea front.
The allied movement, it is stated
here, is designed to offset the agree
ment said to have been effected be-
tween Bulgaria and the Teutonic al
lies under which Bulgaria will act
against Serbia before Oct. Is. 1t is
understood that Great Britain felt
disposed to wait the result Of that
eventually but that French diplo-
macy favored an immediate initia-
tive for the purpose of overcoming
any Bulgarian menace to Serbia be-
fore it could be put into effect.
A minister of one of the Balkan
states said yesterday Bulgaria had
never replied to the joint note Of the
Triple Entente allies submitting Ser
bias concessions to Bulgaria with

MACHINE GUNS
MOVED Down ALLIES
French Columns Advanced Over
Mountains of Bodies.

The Hague (via London), Oct. 2.
The Cologne Gazette declares that
the Germans on the western front.
are opposed by forces between four,
and five times as strong as their own.
German machine guns and can
non," says this newspaper, moved
down the enemy, but despite the
mountains Of bodies, the French coll
umns continued to advance. Enemy
troops appeared provided with ra-
tons for from eight to ten days and
apparently counted on marching
through Luxembourg and Belgium i'm
mediately. The offensive on this
front has so far resulted in COM
plete defeat for the enemy.
Despite the fate of those moved
down by German machine guns at
barbed wire entanglements, the Brit
ish repeatedly sent further troops to
the attack"

WIRELESS PHONE
TO HONOLULU
Conversation is Transmitted With
out Wires a Distance of Four
Thousand Miles.
FARTHER THAN TO PARIS
Experts Say, However, That Present
Metal Circuits in Use Will Not
Be Replaced.
FARTHER THAN TO PARIS

New York, Oct. THAT wireless
telephony from the Atlantic seaboard
to Hawaii, distance of 4,600 miles
is now an accomplished fact, was
announced yesterday at the offices OF
the American Telephone & Tele-
graph company.
Exceeding even in success the
transmission of the human voice
from Arlington to Mare Island, CAL,
$500 miles, accomplished Wednes-
day night, it was stated that subse-
quent experiments had resulted in
successful telephone communication
between Arlington and the naval ra-
do station at Pearl Harbor, near
Honolulu, Hawaii.
The distance over which this wire
less communication was held is
greater than the distance from New
York to London, Paris, Berlin or
Rome The voice had to travel over
the whole of the United States, dis
lance of $500 miles, before it en-
countered the more simple wireless
conditions which exist over large
bodies of water. For the purpose of
this test, it was stated that the re-
ceiving was done on small wireless
antennae erected by engineers of the
telephone company by permission of
the naval authorities in the Pearl
Harbor station.
The experiments, it was explained
at the offices of the company, are the
successful elimination of a series OF
tests begun last spring with an ex-
detrimental tower erected at Mon
tauk point and another at Whining
ton, Del, $50 miles apart.
A representative of the company
said that while wireless telephony
would form an important adjunct to
the present telephone system, in that
it could be established between
points where it would be impractic-
able to extend wires, it would not
replace the present system. The
wireless, he explained, is subject to
from atmospheric con-
ditions, and anyone with apparatus
could listen in on a conversation.

DIAGNOSIS At
LONG RANGE
Apparatus Determines Nature of Dis
eases at Distance.

San Francisco, CAL, Oct. DIR.
Albert Abrams, physician and auth
or, yesterday announced he had de-
vised an apparatus which already
had determined at long range the
nature Of certain diseases. An exper-
iment was conducted between Los
Angeles and San Francisco, cases of
tuberculosis, pus and cancer being
tried. The apparatus correctly dag
nosed each of the diseases. Diagnosis
is possible even at greater distanceA
DR.. Abrams said.
The apparatus is also sensitive to
thought waves, DR.. Abrams said. He
enunciated the theory that radio-ac-
tive waves were the energy given OF
by all matters, the length of waves
varying with the kind Of matter.

In this country where the Western

Of experienced help and are now pre-

ROAD
BUILDING
IMPROVE ROADS IN ILLINOIS
Expected That State VIII Spend
Nearly 5000, 1000, 900 for Better High
ways In Next Few Years.

by H. A. JEFFRIES. Membe Of Illinois
Good Roads Assocation)
Illinois has been one OF the last
states to take W seriously the prob.
lem of improving its roads, blu, now 1t
is going into 1t with q determination
10 make big advancement in . short
time. A commission of Illinois road
enthusiasts has been touring the
states, inspecting roads and investi.
eating the methods Of road building.
It is expected that the state will spend
In the next few years nearly 5000, 0O0.-
900 for good roads, and necessarily
our people want to get the best roads
possible,
The question Of whether there shall
be macadam roads, brick roads or con-
crete roads Is one to be determined
Many OF the new roads are Of mac.
adam construction. and there has been
Q lot Of sentiment for the brick high.
ways. Concrete roads have been OBJ
jeoted to largely because Of the great
cost OF construction. II costs $4,000
. mile for an 18-foot concrete road,
and this initial outlay is so great that
II ordinarily scares any community,
The advantage Of the concrete road,
however, lies In the small cost Of
maintenance.
The expense of keeping up . con-
crete road, 1t is said, is less than $50
@ year per mile, with the experience
OF New York, Massachusetts,, New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania shows that It
costs $500 Z mile to maintain mac
adam and brick roads.
1t makes no difference what kind Of
construction, 80 long as we get i'm
proved roads, and we can we'll afford
later on to change the style Of road
II we get frst-class highway across
tho continent which, ! believe, will
be accomplished IN the next ten
years. a. -.c -.
