BULGARIA SIDES WITH GERMANY
All Hope Of Allies to Keep Them Neu-
traI 10 Abandoned.

London.-The hope often expressed
that war in the Balkans might be aver
ted virtually has been abandoned, ac-
cording to the belief expressed in Of
ficial quarters.
The. statement made by Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary, in
the house of commons confirming ru-
mors that Austro-German officers had
arrived in Bulgaria, just as they did
before Turkey threw in her lot with
the Germanic allies, is taken by the
allies to mean that Bulgaria, too, def
initely has decided to join the central
powers.
Such a move by Bulgaria would re
suit in the entente allies being called
upon to keep their promise to support
with all the means in their power
those Balkan states which remain or
friendly terms with them. and who are
menaced by the threatened Bulgarian
aggression.

GREECE IS NOW
ON VERGE OF WAR

PREMIER, BUT THE KING CAN
NOT APPROVE.
BULGARIA REMAINS SILENT
Vote of Confidence Is Given After a
Wild Night in Chamber Of Depu-
tles-PIan to Help Serbia
French Force Landed.

London, Oct 6.-Greece is now the
central point of the storm which is
likely to break over the Balkans at
any moment. The Greek premier, M
Venizelos, has carried his policies
through the Greek chamber with a
majority of 40, some members not vot.
ing, but the Athens correspondent OF
the Havas agency is authority for the
announcement that Venizelos later re
signed because King Constantine in
formed him that he was unable to sup
port the policy of his ministry.
Russia's ultimatum to Bulgaria re
mains unanswered. The crown coun
Gil of that state is reported to have
discussed for several hours the terms
of the ultimatum without reaching a
decision.
London takes it for granted that the
policy of King Ferdinand and his
ministers is so shaped as to favor the
central powers, but strong opposi
ton to participation in the war has
developed in Sofia.

GERMANY WON BULGARIA!
1t Is Believed King Ferdinand Is Stall

Greece viii Live Up to Her
Treaty With Serbia.

London, Oct 4-The Russian min
lister at Sofia has been ordered by his
government to leave the Bulgarian
capital Immediately if Bulgaria does
not openly break with the central pow
ers and dismiss the Austro-German Of
ficers who recently arrived in that
country to direct the operations OF
King Ferdinand's army.
Russia's Stand Indorsed.
The other powers of the quadruple
entente are backing up Russia in this
demand, and so Bulgaria must decide
on continued neutrality or be consid
cred definitely committed to the cen
trail powers.
From Balkan news of the last few
days it is considered certain that King
Ferdinand and Premier Radoslavofi
have made their choice and are only
awaiting the completion of mobiliza
ton to strike at Serbia and assist
the Austria-Germans to open the road
to Constantinople, which has been anx
iously awaiting for many weeks fo1
promised aid from the central powers
Greece, it is believed, will live VI
to her treaty with Serbia and come to
her assistance if she is attacked, but
the attitude of Rumania, which re
mains an only partly mobilized spec
tator, is uncertain.
Time Limit Expires.
London, Oct. 5.-The time allotted
to Bulgaria by the allies through Rus
sia to turn her back on Germany, Aus
tria and Turkey expired Monday aft
ernoon, but the expiration of the time
limit brought no immediate surfac,
indications to clarity the situation.

Engineer Declares Cant Clear Channel

Panama, Oct. 5.-Lieutenant Colonel
Chester Harding, the engineer in
charge of the Panama canal, has sent
message to the secretary of war at
Washington recommending that Pres
ident Wilson issue an executive order
officially closing the canal until No

Colonel Harding explains that 1t will

ships which have paid them and are

arrangements be made to transshiI

ENTOMBED MINERS ARE
TAKEN OUT ALIVE
Weakened by Six Days of Suffering,
the Little Group Is Rescued
None Were Lost.

Lansford Pa, Oct Anime miners
entombed in the Lehigh Coal and Nav
igation company colliery at Coaldale
last Monday were rescued alive Sun
day.
They were found on top of chute
in which they had crawled to escape
flood of water from an abandoned
working which caused more than 800
feet of gangway roof to fall, shutting
off all escape. The men are in the
hospital, and are expected to recover.
The rescue was accomplished after
200 mine workers and company Of
ficials had battled for six days against
discouraging conditions in the choked-
up gangway. -
After blasting and tearing away
more than 300 feet of solid rock, coal
and timbers rescuers reached the
chute where the pitiful group of hud
died humanity was discovered. 1t was
intensely cold in the little space, and
the rescuers found the nine men, two

All were terribly weakened.
According to the men, fish oil and q

YOUNG MORGAN is
IN ENTIRE CHARGE
Credit Loan to the Allies in United
States Amounting to $5o0,o00,o0o
viii Be Granted.

New York, Oct. Al. p. Morgan &
Co. have been placed in entire charge,
subject to the wishes of the syndi-
cate managers, of the flotation OF the
$500,000,000 credit loan to Great Brit
ain and France in the United States.
Announcement to this effect was made
today.
The Morgan firm was requested to
act as agents, it was said, at meet
ing between the 60 syndicate man
ayers in this city and the members
of the Anglo-French commission which
was held Saturday night. The syndi-
cate managers are in charge of the
loan in the entire country, other local
syndicates reporting to them.
To Centrallze Work.
The plan Of appointing the Morgan
firm as agents, it was said, was to
centralize the work. Interest pay
ments on the bonds will be disbursed
through the firm. Probably interest
will be paid in other cities than New
York.
NbObilCi IO<H Ntih'Nif~s~0s
With the virtual assurance that
every dollar of the big loan will be
subscribed, Wall street has begun to
speculate as to the length of time
that will elapse before another credit
will have to be established. Some au-
thorities placed this at nine months,
some at six. In the meantime, it is
probable that some other method will
be devised to aid in stabilizing ex-
change. The flotation of a considera
Bile sum of short notes has been men
toned.
Subscriptions to the loan exceed the
expectations of the syndicate mana
gers. It was generally believed that
the loan has been oversubscribed and
that, while the entire amount would be
taken within a short time, it had moi
been all spoken for as yet.
Largest Subscription $a5, 200, 900.
The largest single subscription Sc
far received is for $35.000,000 worth o
the bonds. 1t could not be learned
whether an individual, a bank or {
commercial corporation was the sub
scriber.
Over-Subscribed.
New York, Oct 5.-The Anglo
French $5O0,OOO,OOO bond issue ha
been eversubscribed. When the un
derwriters' books closed Tuesday
was found that $5o,0OO,000 more thai
needed had been spoken for.

saloons that never closed, gambling un-
ashamed and all the attributes of this
combination of civic energy making

1t looked like the place where man
would have to be a good sport in his
line to be anything at all and the young
minister accepted the prospect to the
extent of laying aside his chautauqua
cogitations Instead he mapped res
cue raid and general roundup of the
stampeded spiritualties of HALEY.
Preacher Plays the Game.
They liked his preaching. the more
vehement it was the better, for that
was his little game and naturally he
had to play it the best he could. Ev
erybody in Haley did that. They told
him to go to it and dealt the cards.
They overlooked one bet, however,
which the preacher took note Of He
kept getting better acquainted all the
time and he had brought along the no
ton that there was something more to
preaching than pulpit performance He

either mirth or hostilities. They would
have put you on the stage and told the

OF course the edge of mining days
and cattle supremacy gradually but
surely wore away as the years went
by, but HALEY hung onto her primitive
methods Of free and easy enjoyment
right down into the era even of prohi-
bition in Arizona 1t was a cloud no

PUTS
THE LID On.
No More Sunday Dancing
In Neighboring City

The lid closed down on HALEY to the
tune of "Home Sweet Home" at the
last dance, according to an interest
ing story of the date told in the Sunday
issue of the Spokesman Review. This
story is as follows:
They were all paired and prepared
for the next turkey trot when the floor
manager tagged the orchestra and
climbed up where he could be seen.
"The mayor" he explained in dis
tinct dance hall enunciation, requests
If you had told anybody there in
tnank you"
The orchestra played Home, Sweet
Home"
1t was Sunday evening and the gall
leries were crowded with people who
had come from church services. They
charged no desecration or inconsistency
to that, for they were there to see an
old town die and new town born.
The old town was Haley, Idaho. The
new lOWu DedIS Tic SAINT lidiilC eiib
occupies the same site. By request of
the mayor the floor manager pronounc-
ed burial service for the one and christ
ened the other all in the same words.
There had been ball game in town
that day and the theme of conversation
between strikes was that this was the
last of the old days for Haley. AS
compliment to the towns visitors the
final dance was given in Auditorium
hall. This is how the people from
church happened to be there for the
parting of the ways.
Hard Place to Fit Lid.
That is merely roundabout way OF
saying that HALEY became a closed
town one Sabbath evening this month,
and the news will be of keen reminis-
cent interest to every western wander
er who knows the trils from Crows
Nest to Casa Grande. For up to the
last dance HALEY from early days had
been the kind of town that required a
style of lid not yet invented. 1t was
in the flush and fury of gold
mining days and around it lay range
country that quickly became abund-
ant in cowboys. They made of HALEY
a supply point and social center for all
the country stretching down from
Snake river into the Nevada country
That is the sort of combination that
puts the owl and the elephant on con-

things happen in old HALEY. They

doors, and they never expected to-

LOCAL BAND
MAKES HIT
Plays At Shoshone Before
A Large Crowd.

Wednesday evening, the Richfeld
band was taken to Shoshone where they
furnished the music Tor the Jubilee
Banquet gwen under the auspices Of
the M. E. Church of that city
The banquet was given for the pur-
pose of raising debt of the parsonage
and about two hundred plates were set.
The feast was prepared and served
by the Ladies Aid society. The tables
We're arranged in three long rows in
the old opera house which was beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion.
A large crowd accompanied the Rich
field band and to say that all who were
present were well pleased is putting it
mildly.
Following the big feast the band
boys rendered two selections which
were well received.
The invocation was rendered by Dis
trict Superintendent H. W. Parker.
A number of prominent men were
among those present and gave short
talks among those present were state
senator DAVIS and u. S. Representative
Addison T. Smith.
Miss Ava Mcmahon of Richfield sang
two beautiful solos during the evening.
The toasmaster Rev. Floyd Hardin Of
American Falls, while small in statue
was large in praise for the way in
which the people of Shoshone and the
members of the M E. Church rallied
to the support of such worthy cause.

present pastor and his wife, every cit
izen of Shoshone should feel greatly
indebted, for the untring efforts they
have made for the general and religious
interests they have given. Shoshone
