LONDON. Sept. c3.--Develop.
ments in the Balkan crisis moved
swiftly today, each new event bring.
ing Bulgaria and Greece nearer war
with Rumania's attitude seemingly
In doubt.
Serbia replied to the Bulgarian
mobilization order by moving tive
divisions Of troops within striking
distance OF the Bulgarian frontier.
The commander of the Serbian Dor.
der patrols warned Bulgarian on
cials that any trespass by Bulgarian
border troops on. Serbian territory
would result seriously, in view e1
the present strained relations be-
tween the two countries.
The Crown Prince Alexander. &C.
cording to Nish dispatches, plans
to lead the Serbian armies In per.
son il the Bulgars strike. He has
gone to Serbian headquarters at
Kraguyevatz for conference with
army chiefs.
The Greek cabinet was In contin-
uous session until after midnight
and no report Of it's action has
been allowed to leave Athens at an
early hour today. From several
cities on the continent came re-
ports that Greek army officers on
leave OF absence had been notified
to hold themselves in readiness to
leave for Athens at once.
Berlin complained that the censor
was holding up dispatches from
Sofia, but took the view that Bul.
garia's armed neutrality" meant
nothing but war. Reports reached
here that the Duke OF Mecklenburg,
en- route to Bucharest for an audi.
ence with the king. is authorized to
make promises of important conces.
sions TO obtain assurances that Ru.
mania will remain neutral.
No confirmation has come from
Nish of the report that Serbia has
demanded an immediate explanation
OF the Bulgarian mobilization order.
Unofficial reports that such de-
mand has been sent are generally
believed 10 be true. Diplomats herv
believe Serbia will send an ultima
tum to Bulgaria and this communis
cation will result in a declaration
of war.
Despite the Bulgarian prime min
ister's statement that Bulgaria's
mobilization order meant only
armed neutrality the London
press viewed the situation most
pessimistically today.

Pupils OF the Central High school
were sent home again, Thursday
morning, because 1t was too cold
for them In the building and the

mission.
l.. q. PARROT, superintendent for
zimmerman & McColl. the school
boards engineers, said that the re-
modelling or the heating plant has
been delayed by the fact that some
of the parts had to be specially
made, and could not be obtained
from the manufacturers when 1t
was needed. He added that the
work ought to be finished within a
week.
George W. Auch's campaign for
president OF the board for the year
1857 is said to be well under way.
President McMichael and Inspec-
tor Hely say that IL OF the 81
votes Of the board are already
pledged to Auch. Opposition is ex-
pected from Inspector Sherman.
The board. in its meeting, Thurs
day evening, will take up Mayor
Marks request for the use of the
schools as debating centers during
the campaign for the street railway
settlement plan. It is also likely
that the question OF giving tuition
to nonresident children will be dis
cussed. Tuition fees for these chill
dren amounted, last year. to over
s22 900. This sum was put into the
teachers retirement pension fund.
The board may shut out the chill
dren OF non-residents, to make more
room for children who live in De-
troit.

Years of Successful Business Told in
Fe1u Words and Vielus

Seventeen years seems centuries in looking in
to the future, yet when looking back it seems but
a few yesterdays.
Seventeen years ago, when Mr.. Wilcox assisted
his father in supplying the people of Redwood Falls
with fuel, probably few people realized the ambi-
tions and the zeal with which he labored Little
did he probably realize when he embarked in bust
for himself in 1898 in the small building shown
in the upper left hand corner that in few years
he would claim title to the largest business house
in this city, His ambition more than to be able
to keep the fire aglow on the HEARTH by supplying
the necessary fuel, and included line of farm ma
chinery, which should surpass any similar line in
the County.
After years business in this line it was found
necessary to enlarge quarters and Mr.. Wilcox pur
chased the property where he is located. The
building which was then occupied consisted of 4Ox
40 it, frame building. Business continued to grow
to such an extent that in 1909 it found neces-
sary to build an addition. Mr.. Wilcox then con-

structed concrete block building, consisting of
1890 square feet of floor space. This built adj
joining the frame building on the east side.
In 1910 line of automobiles added to the
large stock of farm machinery. In the automobile
business Mr.. Wilcox has met with remarkable sue
cess having sold 1854 new cars up to the present time
Mr.. Wilcox has, for the past four years, sold the
Overland car, which has proved itself very popular
and very much in demand BY those desiring the
best car at moderate price The growth of this
business again necessitated more room and this
year Mr.. Wilcox has erected and just completed
another concrete block building with 1900 square
feet of floor space to take the place of the old frame
building. This new addition was built by the same
design as the one built in 1909 and makes spen-
did addition to the business section of Redwood
Falls In the construction of these buildings Mr..
Wilcox has taken into consideration fire protection
and has designed his buildings to make them fire
proof as far possible.

Facing Third Street the building complete
has a splendid plate glass frontage, Ia feet high
and 100 feet in length. AS passes the building
he is Immediately impressed with the grand view of
farm machinery, automobiles and pianos, all of
which can be in passing glance.
The remarkable growth and success which MIR.
Wilcox has won during the past seventeen years,
is due to the care he has exercised in the selection
of the articles and lines of stock he offers for sale,
well the untiring efforts and energy he has
injected into his business and the personal atten-
ton given to the small details that mean so much
i'm business like his.
Among the farm machinery you will find the
Deere Weber, Mccormick, the DeLaval Cream Sep
arators Overland Automobiles and the Waltham
pianos, as well as complete line of harness and
horse furnishings
cordial invitation is given those who desire
to visit the store where sample of all these articles

CHIEF ENGINEER TO

Railroads Hope Anxious to Keep
From Building Subway Near

IL. Carmen. chief engineer for the
state public utilities commission, ar
rived i'm the city Wednesday afternoon
and. in company with County surveyor
Mcclellan. viewed the railroad cross
ings over the Lincoln highway at New
Carlisle. 1t is expected that carmen
will be here several days for the pur-
pose of investigating the plans Sug-
gested for making the crossing safe
and 10 estimate the cost of the pro-
posed change.
a hearing on this matter was held
before the public utilities commission
on Aug. Is. following "A petition for
such a hearing made by the county
commissioners. The utilities commits
sion allowed the South shore and the
Northern Indiana railroads ID days IN
which to file their objection TO the
plan for a subway at the crossing.
These railroads wish TO maintain gates
at that place while the Lake Shore
is DESTROYS of having the subway
built.
The tracks of the three railroads
are close together at the crossing,
which is just east of New Carlisle.
The crossing is made at an acute an
gle 10 the highway. IL is estimated
hv the county commissioners and the
Lincoln Highway association that a
subway under the tracks for the high

mately $4,000 for the county. The
suggestion is made by the Lake Shore
that the course Of the highway be
changed so that it Will cross the rail-
road tracks at a point farther south
and at right angles of the track. The
estimation of the Lake shore engin-
eer is that a right angle crossing will

of its existence. Rabbi Cronbach
has been in charge nine years. al
though numerically the smallest of
the South Bend churches" says Rab-
bi Cronbach, the temple has sought
10 perform two functions. one OF
these functions is to provide religious
ediicatiOn for Jewish people who do
not understand Hebrew. The other
function is to be a center of religious
liberalism not only for Jews but also
for radically minded nOn-Jews."
The temple has, beside the sunday
morning service. a religious school
for Jewish children. a chorus for am
ateur Jewish singers, a higher crit
icism" Bible class, a Ladies Aid So
ciety and, under the RabSs personal
patronage. a sewing class attended by
small girls of all creeds
The welcome of all the activities,
particularly the public service. is eX-
tended TO all persons regardless of
race or creed. At the services non
Jews are frequently in attendance
and occasionally in the majority.
The president of the temple for the
year 1915 is Mr.. VI. j. Frankel. The
trustees are Messrs. Leo Moore, Sam

Feig, Joseph Burke. The president
of the Ladies' Aid society is Mrs. Es-
Their Freudestein. Miss Dora Her
shenow is in charge of the music.
Miss Caroline Roth has been teacher
of the sewing class.
The temple is supported entirely
by membership dues. there being no
collections during any service, except
ing once a year, when subscriptions
for charity are raised.

doris assurances as given To him until
he had received them in writing. he
said that the United States would re-

Of Pres't Wilson dealing with the Lus-

he was not prepared to say at TINS
time whether the United States Will

statement however was construed a.
purely technical because the admin

thing that depended entirely on an
oral conversation between the two
men and was not a matter of written

There was little doubt. however. in
administration circles that iinis'
would be written on the submarine

me a recognition of the fundamental

Immediately after Count Won Bern

Lansing called Pres't Wilson on the
telephone. The president is under
