their imperial goal in the south: Turkey, the Dardanelles, Egypt and the East.
 For Austro- -Germany-to divide the Balkans as much as possible, state against state, with predominating state, Bulgaria, favorable to the Aus troGermans aim of a direct route from Germany to Turkey and the Orient.
 Change In Four Months.
 This shift of the Balkan issue, mak- ing it part of a great international game instead of a petty struggle of small states, has come about within the last four months. The allied powers were slow in realizing 1t, and their negotiations with Bulgaria and Serbia up to a recent date treated the question as the old fight over terri tory in Macedonia. But all the time Germany was setting the scenes in the larger drama-the winning of Bulgaria and the linking of the Gen. tral Powers to Turkey and the near East.
 Each of the Balkan states has 8

and Cavalla, also supply the Allies with the best strategic landing ports, for the double purpose of aiding Greece's ally, Serbia, and the greater end of throwing a barrier in front of the Austro- German advance to- ward Turkey. At Cavalla a land ing party would be within 100 miles of the route through Bulgaria to Constantinople. At Saloniki the railways through Greece and Serbia give quick means of transit for a landing party up to the Serbian from tier. So that Greece is the strate- gic highway by which the Allies must accomplish their purpose of aiding Serbia and preventing an Austro-Ger- man Junction with Turkey.

mean the absorption of the Balkan
 states into Bulgaria, and her evo1u
 ton into an empire stretching to the 1 BOsphoruS. Cherif Pasha, the Turk. l ish agitator, has even asserted in a
 recent signed article in Paris news
 papers, that the Young Turk element 1 had agreed with Bulgaria to turn over l Constantinople to that country, rather
 than let it pass into the hands of the Allies through their assault on the Dardanel1es.
 Serbias attitude in the Balkans is summed up as the staunch and loyal friend of the Quadruple Allies, and
 their chief reliance in blocking the Austro- German advance. Serbia was the first to clash with her giant neigh Dor to the north, Austria, and thus precipitate the European war. Ser bia has always stood in the way of Austria, barring her advance south ward to the Mediterranean, and west ward to the Adriatic. Serbia's first aim, therefore, is to hold what she now has of Macedonia against the en- croachments of Bulgaria, and at the same time aid the Quadruple alliance
 by holding the advance of Austria and Germany southward.
 Serbia Denies Claim.
 As to Bulgaria's claim of rights in Macedonia, and of alleged atrocities, l Serbia simply denies them. She was
 willing to yield Macedonia to Bulgaria while the Quadruple Allies were hop
 ing thereby to win Bulgaria over to a united Balkans. But that prospect has passed, and Serbia is now holding on to all she possesses in Macedonia, with the Allies supporting her.
 Greece's interest in the Balkan con- fict are partly local, partly interna- tional. Like Serbia she is defending her part of Macedonia, particularly that near Cavalla. the rich seaport on the Aegean nearest ConstantinopIe The Greek Legation has furnished The Associated Press with the report of Prof. Reiss of the University of Lausanne to the Greek Prime Min ister, answering Bulgaria's claims as to Macedonia, and establishing by a mass of data that Cavalle, Saloniki and the great centers of Macedonia as we'll as the interior, are overwhelm- ingly Greek in population, language, and customs. This has been one of the chief internal points of issue, Bulgaria claiming the country to be essentially Bulgarian.
 Hopes of Greater Greece.
 But beside this local issue, Greece's great line on the Mediterranean and Aegean and her proximity to Egypt, the Suez Canal, Turkey and the East have inspired hopes of greater Greece, restoring the prestige of an- cient Greece as one of the great powers of the world. France has looked with sympathy on these aspirations, while Bulgaria pins her faith on Ger 1 many. At the same time Italy has hopes in the eastern Mediterranean, and one of the reasons Italian troops | did not join the Anglo French land | ing party at Saloniki was to avoid l exciting Greece's susceptibilities that | her field of expansion was being en- croached upon.

number of issues involved in the new ] struggle. Some explanation of these 1 has been gathered from official and 1 diplomatic sources-Serbian, Bull l garian, Grecian and Rumanian-and | from other available quarters, show 1 ing the respective viewpoints about l as follows:
 Bulgaria Aggrieved Party. Bulgaria considers herself the ag- ! grieved party of the Balkans. She l claims to have done most of the fight
 ing against Turkey over Macedonia,
 and to have received the least of the
 reward, the bulk going to Serbia and 1 Greece, which Bulgaria claims, did
 not do the hard fighting. The Bull
 garian legation furnished The Asso-
 ciated Press with a pamphlet review
 Of it's case, showing the following dis
 tribution of the territory taken from l Turkey:
 l Serbia with the smallest territory
 before the war, received 39,00O square
 kilometers, of which 15,000 were fer
 tile, and added 100000 to her
 population.
 1 Big Gain for Greece. l Greece, next smallest in area and ! ] meters, of which 2s,Oo0 were fertile,
 and added 1,eOO,oO0 to her population. Bulgaria, the largest in area and population, received only 15,0OO square kilometers, of which none were fertile, and added only 100000 to it's population Then follows this ex- plosive official statement: "Is this possible? Yes! And be- cause of it, this is what Bulgaria de- mands: She is not satisfied with such a division; she demands a new one; she shuts her ear to proposals of Balkan Union in which she pays all the expense"
 Bulgaria Issues Pamphlet. Bulgaria has issued another pam phlet, printed at the royal printing establishment at Sofia, entitled, How the Serbs Behave in Macedonia" giv- ing detailed accounts of alleged attro- cities in Serbia's part of Macedonia against priests of the Bulgarian state church. These accounts are harrow ing in the extreme, alleging that in some cases Bulgarians were crucified, others buried alive, others tortured until they died, with names and places. This pamphlet is given as an evidence of BulgarlaS claim that her people in Macedonia are being crushed.
 Another Of Bulgaria's allegations is that Rumania took S,370 square kilo- meters of Bulgaria's Black Sea front while her hands were tied during the struggle with Turkey. This Black Sea country added 100000 people to Rumania's population. The people are Bulgarians, according to Bulgaria, and she wants them back, and the l Black Sea front too.
 Other Bulgarian Aspirations.
 Aside from these official claims, | there are reports of other aspirations ! of Bulgaria. King Ferdinand is said l to foresee another great Byzantian Empire in southeastern Europe, with l himself as the first Czar of Byzantium. 1 The realization of this dream would 1

Here Tomorrow Night.

How to apprise the theatergoer
reliably of the new play he wants
that is the problem. Most theatre
cal men are as deeply in the DARK
about how to solve it today as they
ever were. Yet this year several
theatrical managers have taken the
leap. Those are the fellows who
have staged white slave plays. Two
Chicago producers rank foremost in
this line. They are Robert e. Rick
sen and Frank Gaxzolo. These men
are the producers of Little Lost Sis
ter" dramatixed by e. e. Rose from
Miss Virginia Brooks remarkable
book. The play has met with unus-
ual success. Perhaps the one big
reason for this is the fact that the
story is true and the presentation is
accurate. Both the writer Of the
book and the dramatist have studied
hard. diligently, and faithfully the
conditions which cause young girls
to go astray. And they have written
a wonderful play.

day of the Daily Freeman-Tribune
The daily Freeman was launched on
the 9th day of November, 1894. and
the daily Tribune was started three
days later-Nov. IL, 1894. In No

enjoyed continuous growth from
the day the paper was started.
AS soon as we get our new Du-
pick press installed some marked i'm
provements will be made In the news
service-both local and general
and the publishers hope to keep the
paper fully abreast of the progress
and development Of the community.
The paper starts upon the twenty
second year with confidence in the
future of Webster City and Hamil-

HUDDlESTUN CAT
Tie ARE ALL right
Herd was Suffering From Pneumonia
Instead Of Some Contagious
Disease.

The report that the herd of cattle
on, the Bascom Huddlestun farm
northeast of Woodstock was suffer-
ing from contagious disease, seems
to have. been mistake. The cattle
were overheated in driving them to
the farm and as soon as they got
there they waded into pond of wat
er from which they caught cold.
Pneumonia set in and five Of the
herd died. The cattle do not belong
to Mr.. Huddlestun, he having sold
them to J. T. Mathews. the tenant
on the farm. &.
Mr.. Huddlestun had been ordered
by Sheriff Nelson to take the cattle
from the farm on information filed
by Mr.. Mathews, but when Mr.. Hud-
dlestun went up to the place today
he found them all right and his ten
ant did not want them removed.
It is quite relief to the farmers
in that vicinity to know that the
herd is not suffering from any con-
tagious disease.

CHILD run DOWN
BY LOCAL GAR
Kamrar Child Slightly Injured by
Wilson Helmick's Car in an
Accident.

Yesterday afternoon about 4:15
o'clock as Wilson. Helmick was re-
turning overland from Des Moines
/ in company with his wife and Mrs.
Maude Hirt and little son of this
city, the car accidentally struck a
| five year old boy in Kamrar, vino
ran out into the street from behind
| a lumber wagon directly in front of
the automobile. He was knocked
down and the body Of the car passed
over him.
Mr.. Helmick Immediately stopped
his car, carrying the child, who is a
son Of creamery owner in Kamrar,
to a physician, who dressed the
bruises. The little fellow received a
cut on the leg and a few bruises
about the body but according to re-
ports received last night and today,
is getting along well enough so as to
dispense with Doctors services.
Mr.. Helmick felt that although
the day was neither Friday, nor the
18th of the month, it had its train
of disasters for him, for as soon as
he reached home he found that one
Of his horses-the best one he used
to haul the sprinkling cart during
the past season-had died. He valued
the animal at about $500 and car
ried no insurance upon it. The horse
had been out to pasture and in all
probability had eaten too much Glow
er, causing it's death.

Rest Room Sentiment.

In Marshalltown they have sever
al rest rooms and movement Is now
on foot to build larger and better
quarters in the court house, which is
centrally located in that city. The
experience of a rest room in Webster
City has been satisfactory and no one
in the county who has investigated
the matter and appreciates what the
rest room is doing for visitors to the
city would want it abandoned. a
large majority of those taking ad-
vantage Of the accommodations Of
fered are from the country and ad-
Joining towns. This Is also true IN
Marshalltown. At a recent meeting
held in that city to discuss the ques-
ton Of better and larger quarters
the matron Of the present rest room
submitted the following statement:
Within these seventeen days, from
Oct. 1S to Nov. 5, a total OF 1,224
adults from out Of the city visited
the rooms, and 220 from within this
city. The same period saw 3S2 out

Same Kind Of COOKERS" Here.

Rolfe Arrow: There are few
young men in Rolfe who need to be
taught the difference between a joke
and crime. They are fine young
fellows, but haven't the proper view
point. Not long since, hostess in
Lemon Park, upon going to find her
material for serving, missed 1t. Par
ties had entered the kitchen through
an outside porch and purloined her
goodies. Imagine the chagrin OF a
hostess upon confronting a condition
of this kind. This alone should be
enough to deter gentleman from
perpetrating trick Of this kind.
Last Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Bloom were entertaining the facul-
ty Of the Rolfe public schools, and
someone entered the basement by re-
moving a window and stole the ice
cream. This is breaking and enter
ing and under the statutes, Is burg
larry, a crime punishable by impris-
onment In the penitentiary. 1t is no
joke. That the young fellows do not
suffer the penalty of their crimes is
due to the magnanimity Of the peo-
pie they have victimized, for they
are known, and no one wishes to hu-
initiate their parents by prosecuting
them. Some day they will strike a
larder whose owner will insist upon
Justice being dealt out to them, and
1t may, perhaps. be a good thing for
the boys. Thirty days In Jail may be
better than life Imprisonment.

and a crime-it may save you term
