.CURLEY WILL SEE
JOHNSON MONDAY
Champion Takes Part in Elk
hibition Bout in Havana;
> in Good Shape.

Maintaining that Jack Johnson will
keep his contract to box Jess Willard
at JuaTez, members of the promotion
syndicate are now sitting back and
waiting for some word from Jack Cur
ley, who was in New Orleans Friday
and who should reach Havana some
time Sunday night. 1t is expected that
Curley will have a talk with the big
smoke early Monday morning and some
definite news should be received here
by Monday noon
A private wire from Jack Robinson,
a former manager Of Battling Nelson,
but now Havana promoter. states that
the negro is in far better condition
than most people imagine, that he is
carrying little or no fat and that the
big smoke is anxious to carry out his
contract with Curlcy but is afraid that
he viii not be able to get to Juarez-
Would Protect the Purse.
CurIey will not only have to satisfy
Johnson that he can get to Juarez, but
that he can get out of there to I'M
troubled territory again. Jack John
son is no longer Onet of the trusting
kind" and viii demand some strong
assurance that he will be allowed to de
part from Mexico with his $4,000
intact.
Johnson appeared at a tournament
of the National Sporting club of Cuba,
in Havana. Friday night. taking part
in an exhibition bout and that club Is
now very keen on landing the Johnson
Willard bout. Johnson denies, how
ever. that he has signed any contract
or posted any forfeit with the club.

$4,000 FOR GREATER FORT;
CONGRESS MAY VOTE THIS SUM
Fort Bliss May Be Further Enlarged With Guard House,
Water Supply Station and Heating Plant $5OOOOO
Already Spent on Post; Southwestern Hotel
Is Sold; Many Bungalows Building.

n GORE than $4,000 is expected to
M be allotted by congress to make
= further engagements at Fort
Bliss where more than 100000 has just
been expended.
The appropriation bill that is now
before congress calls for a total OF
100000 and includes 100000 for the
erection of a new gIardhOuse, $45,OUO
Tor increasing the water supply, $SOOO
for granary and hay sheds, and Sl6,-
goo for heating the old Quarters
In addition to these Improvements
army officers stationed at the post
say that quarters for a machine gun
troop, an electric light and ice plant,
quarters for the band, repair shops,
six sets Of bachelors quarters, quar-
termaster storehouses, kitchens for the
hospital and old barracks, hay sheds,
ordinance storehouses, coal sheds,
Tire station and equipment, crematory
Tor garbage and rubbish, wagon sheds
ana a post laundry. An appropriation
for better roads and tree planting is
also badly needed, the army officers
declare.
Infantry and Artillery Needed.
According TO army officers a regi-
ment of infantry and four batteries of
artillery should be maintained here
Tor some years to come. It is pointed
out that Fort Bliss is the most cen
tral point west Of the Pecos and east
OF the Colorado rivers for military
purposes. In view of the policy Of
maintaining cavalry along the border,
the post should also be well supplied
with this branch of the service, in the
opinion Of officers.
Both senator C. A Culberson and rep
resentatiye w. r. Smith have sup
ported the various bills designed to
appropriate sums for the enlargement

with their active support, it is be-
ncFed that the present bill viii pass.

ENCAMPMENT rs
PLANNED FOR POST

Fort Bliss may get experimental
brigade encampment of the United
States cavalry this year. Because of
lack of transportation funds, the war
department is planning to abandon its
intention of holding a brigade en-
campment at Winchester, Va and will
hold a brigade encampment either at
Fort Bliss or at Fort Douglas Wyo-
ming.
AS Fort Bliss is the most accessible
to a number OF the border cavalry
commands, it is probable that the en-
campment will be held at EI Paso post.
Infantry would be available here for
joint maneuvers and the reservation
surrounding the Fort will be an ideal
place for holding these maneuvers.
The new cavalry drill regulations
will probably remain in effect until
the end Of the present year. The report
or these new drill regulations which
have been asked for by the war depart

the war, and Turkey returned to the
attack.
Bulgaria saw that resistance was
useless and accepted the settlement of
the treaty of Bucharest, awarding
most of the conquered territory to
Servia and Greece. But it has been
generally known in Europe that Bull
garia was only awaiting its oppor-
tunity to win back the territory in
habited by people of it's own race, Of
wrich it felt it had been unjustly
deprived.
When the present war began Bull
garia was regarded as the key to the
situation in the Balkans. She would
natbi ally have been on the side Of
Russia, the ''ljberator," and England,
TO whose cause she was bound by ties
of sentiment. But Russia's attitude
in the Balkan wars ranked, and Ser
via she hated Greece, as Medit-
teranean country, exposed to the
allies fleets, was naturally friendly
to the allies, and Rumania was well
disposed to Russia.
Outsiders had felt all along that
Bulgaria's policy would finally be the
cold blooded one of entering the war
on the side which could offer the
largest reward. The allies were han
dicapped in their bidding owing to
the fact that they were bound to
protect Servia, whose territory Bull
garia desired. The Central Powers
were fighting Servia and so were in
a position TO promise Servian terri
tory. With the apparent defeat Of t
Russia, Bulgaria evidently felt that
the Central Powers could make good
on their promises, and so took the
TO get into the war.
Meanwhile Rumania has seemed
scared into neutrality. Greece with
divided counsels has been unable to
lecide what the national interest re-
luired. The naval power of England
md France made it impolitic to re-
use landing to the allied troops,
wen though the Greek king was able
o prevent the government from be-
.oming as yet actually engaged in the
lighting.

IN THE BALKANS.

The Balkan peninsula in southeast
ern Europe is occupied by seven states
Two Of them, Montenegro and Albania
are very small, with population of
about half million apiece. Turkey
still occupies small territory in Eu-
rope
There remain four principal Balkan
states, Rumania, Servia, Bulgaria and
Greece. IL is with these four that the
present crisis has to do. Rumania,
the largest, has an area of something
over fifty-three thousand square miles
1t has population Of about " mill
lions. Bulgaria and Greece are of
about the same size, with areas of
$4,000 and $4,000 square miles. Each
has population of about 100000.
Their area and population are about
the same as Ohio's. Servia, the small
est of the four, has an area of $4,000
square miles and population of 4 "
millions.
The Rumanians are a Latin popu-
lation, akin to the Italians. The Bull
garians and Servins are Slavs, with
languages much alike. The Greeks
are descendants of the people of Ath-
ems and Sparta of the great days.
To understand the present situa-
ton II is necessary to know something
of recent history in the Near East.
Originally all these four states were
under Turkish rule. Bulgaria was the
last to win freedom as a result of the
"War of Liberation" fought by Rus
STA nearly forty years ago. But a
large number Of Bulgarians with some
Servians and Greeks, remained under
Turkish rule in the territory known as
Macedonia.
Persistent misgovernment on the
part of Turkey led to constant insur-
rections, and finally, in 1912, to the
formation of the Balkan league of
Seryia, Bulgaria and Greece, which
undertook a successful war against
the Turkish empire.
An understanding as to division of
conquered territory had been made be-
fore the war was undertaken. But
the exigencies of the campaign forced
Bulgaria to concentrate its armies
toward Constantinople, and left to
Servia and Greece to garrison the
conquered Macedonian territory. The
outcome was what might have been
expected in civilization which has
put national gain above ethical con-
siderations The commission appoint
ed by the Carnegie Peace Endowment
to investigate the atrocities committed
in the Balkan fighting discovered that
Servia and Greece had come to Sc
cret understanding to retain the ter
ritory their troops were occupying,
in violation of their obligations to
their ally.
AS the war against Turkey ended,
Bulgaria learned of the treachery of
her allies and made sudden attack
upon them. She might have won had
it not been for an unexpected factor
Russia was displeased at the growing
power of Bulgaria, for the little king
dom had not proved fruitful field
for Russian influence. Rumania, en-
couraged by Russia, suddenly entered
