BALKAN MAZE
IS MORE Dense
Bulgaria Is Still Keeping Ea-
tions Guessing.
DIRECTED AGAINST SERBIA

Mobilization Believed to Be Aimed at
Little kInodom-Would Join Forces
With Teutons In Event Of Entering
the War.
London, Sept. 2S.-During the past
twenty-four hours the Balkan situa-
ton has become more dense instead
Of clearing up.
From the volume Of reports, of{icial.
semi-official and rumored received in
London, the following facts may be
stated to constitute the latest develop
ments In the Balkan situation:
The outstanding feature Of the en-
tire Balkan situation at this moment,
appears to be this: Bulgaria, fully
mobilized, which means that she has
100000 men ready to march, 10 going
out of her way to let It be known, both
to Greece and Roumania, that she
fosters no hostile plans against either
Of these countries. She makes no ef-
fort to imbue Serbia with the same i'm
preston, but on the CONTRARY, has
not only denied, but rather nourished
the notion that her action is aimed
against the little kingdom and that
she will, in the event of a new Balkan
confiagration, fight on the side Of the
Teutonic allies.
Berlin received reports to the ef-
feet that Bulgaria has sent an ulti-
matum to Serbia, and that the diplo-
mats of the entente powers are pre-
pairing to leave the Bulgarian capital.
These reports could not be confirmed.
Roumania. according to Rome ad-
vices, has sent a note, "couched In
friendly language" to Bulgaria, ask
ing an explanation Of that country's
military preparations.
Your correspondent in Athens cables
that King Constantine granted .

twenty merchantmen, among them
three big transatlantic liners, for the
transportation of troops. The feet

The attitude OF Greece is primarily

army on the heels Of Bulgaria's mill

be understood-and her earnestness

SEVERE COUNTER ATTACKS

German Drives to Regain Lost POSI-
tIons Driven Back by Bayonst
charoes-kaiser Sends Reserves to
Help Defeated Army.
Paris, Sept. 2s.-Reinforced by large
bodies of troops, the German armies
which were driven back by the French
and British rush, turned upon their
viotors with might and main. but with
out avail.
In Champagne the French troops
are now drawn up solidly before the
second line of German defense works
over q front Of fifteen miles and are
apparently waiting only for the artil-
ley to do its work Of destruction be-
fore making another Jump forward.
IN Artois the situation Is the same.
The victorious troops have dug them
selves in while the heavy guns at the
rear are preparing the way for an
other dash toward Lens and Lille,
farther on. which is the real objective
in that vicinity.
Each German counter attack was
driven back. many of them at the point
Of the bayonet, some by tornadoes Of
machine gun fire. and the extensive
defenses captured from the Germans
are still in French and British hands.
The brunt OF the German offensive
was struck in the Argonne. where the
French attack was not as fierce as in
Champagne and in Artois. It is there
the German crown prince is in COM
mand and II was with his troops, ap-
parently. that the German general
staff hoped to make up In a measure
for the heavy losses suffered else
where. but the attacking troops were
unable to make no headway.
The new gained positions in Artois
and in Champagne are now solidly oc-
cupied. The gaps in the French ranks
have been filled in and the few posts
to which the Germans had been able
to cling have been cleared,
The news Of the victory on the
Champagne was received by the pub
lie with little excitement and prac-
tically without demonstration. At the
theaters the official communique an
nounoing the victories were read and
the orchestras played the national an
them. The newspapers issued un-
usually large editions, but none Of
them showed undue enthusiasm.
But there is no doubt that the gains
are OF the utmost importance and that
their effect will be farreaching. Com
ing as they have on the heels OF new
show Of life by the Russians. the ef-
feet on the Balkan states, ready, ap-
parently. to topple into the war at
the first encouragement cannot be
measured. Nor do the political OBJ
servers fail to remark that the infiu-
ence on neutral opinion in America
will be most favorable, a matter Of
great importance to the allies while
the Anglo-French loan is pending in
New York.

CLARENDON FIELD DAY.

One Of the most successful
Field Day occasions that has yet
been held in Clarendon County
was that was held here last Fri
day. The day was ideal in
every respect. and from early in
the morning until midday, the
crowds poured into town from
every quarter of the county. The
crowd was variously estimated
at,from $500 to 5000 people which
were npon the grounds at some
time during the day.
1t would be almost an inpos.
sibility in a write up Of all the
events to give due credit to all
who worked so laboriously to
make the day success.
According to the Field Day
program which had been widely
published for the past .veral
weeks, a new feature was adopt.
ed this year.. All the schools in
the county had been placed into
groups which had preliminary
Field Days in which the winners
at those events were the repre-
sentatives here last Friday.
Metz's Band from Charleston
furnished inspiring m u c
throughout the day.
The progrm was well carried
out. The committees on the
athletic field experienced con-
siderable difficulty however, ow-
ing to the crowdlng OF interest
ed sight seers along the lines
where these events took place.
The indoor exercises were
presided over by Couny Saper-
intendent of Education. e. J.

cry to work at eleven a'el@ck.

Glass B. consisting OF boys
and girls from ~ to Is was won

Very interesting games o1

also enjoyed.
The base ball game was play
ed by Pinewood and Manning
resulting in a score of 9 to 8 II
favor of Manning.
Tie basket ball game was
played by the Sunmerton and
Manning teams and resulted in
favor OF the Manning team by a
score of 20 to 5.
Taking everything lnto con
sideration, the day was one OF
great pleasure and profit to the
county in general. These meet
ings where people ecome more
widely and better acquainted are
bound to be productive Of great
and lasting good.

BE LOYAL TO THE UNITED STATES.
Governor Dunue of Illinois, i,

Governor Dunue of Illinois, in
a speech in Cincinnati on st.
.Patrick's day, called upon IRISH
men, particularly, to place their
loyalty for the United States
above their sympathies with any
European country. Speaking
at St. Patrick's day celebra-
tion of the irish Fellowship club
he quoted as saying:
''It is now the supreme duty
of the statesmen in Washington
to keep this country from being
embroiled IN the conflict in Eu-
rope.
"Day by day the belligerents
are trampling on the rights of
neutrals and making it almost
impossible to keep our country
from ENHANCEMENT.
In this critical situation, it is
the duty of every American cit
izen to uphold the president in
bis efforts to preserve peace be-
tween this country and the war;
ing nations. Never in recent
history was there greater need
OF moderation, tact and diploma.
cy of American statesmen and OF
loyalty by it's citizens.
"ro allow this nation to be-.
come engulfed in the European
cataclysm would be a stupend-
Gus political blunder: if not a
political crime, which the patri-
otic president aud secretary Of
state will not commit.
LET not then American citi-
zens of any race embarrass our
officials at this time by public
expression of any sympathies or
by participating in organized
efforts to give contraband assist
ance TO ony of the beliigerentS.
Hands off Europe, hands up
for America, should b., our
watchword. Neutral nations in
Europe now stand armed, not
knowing what moment they
may be swept into the maelst-
rom. Separated by three thous-
and miles Of ocean, this favored
land: under the guidance of Pres
ident Wilson. will not become
involved if he is not embarrass
ed by acts of misguided sympa.
thizers with the beIligerents.
"Let US in this crisis suppress
our racial sympathies, place
American patriotism above all
other considerations and conhne
our energies to working for the
restoration of peace in war
smitten Europe.

Now, and not just before harv

marketing associations for what
ever products You are going to
raise this year, says The Pro-
gressive Farmer. No matter
what 1t is-cotton, corr, tobac-

not-better prices will be OBJ
tanned. better grading will be
assured, and more business like
consideration will be allowed in
every point if a group of farmers

are going to sell together, they
should have success predestined

'aThe world wants all you can
raise this summer. It needs far

Unless the farmers organize
