BALKANS AT VERGE
Of JOINING IN WAR
Serbia Said to Be Willing to
Cede Macedonia to
Bulgaria.
GREECE IS YET Baking
AT SURRENDERING KAvALA
Berlin Hears. King Constantine Is
Determined Still to Preserve
Hellanic Neutrality.

LONDON, August 9-There is much
interest in the diplomatic negotiations
in the Balkan capitals, the reports from
which indicate that Serbia. at last, is
willing to cede Macedonia to Bulgaria,
but that the Greek government is now
opposing any suggestion that she
should return Kavala, the seaport In
the vilayet of Saloniki, to Bulgaria. 1t
is thought, however, that this opposi-
ton may be changed when NJ. Venizelos
returns to power, which is expected
when the Greek parliament reassem-
bles, early in September.
M venizelos offered Kavala to Bull
garia when he was premier simply IN
return for her continued neutrality
while Greece went to the assistance OF
Constantine put his foot down on the
whole policy, and the political crisis
which resulted in the resignation OF
the Venizelos cabinet followed.
Allies Reply to Bulgaria.
A Reuter- dispatch from Sofia says:
THAT the allies should reply to the
Bulgarian note of June while the
Austro-German advance in Russia is
still unchecked has created consider
able surprise in diplomatic circles
here. The reply, which relates to Bull
garia's demand for the cession Of terri
tory now held by rival Balkan states,
has not yet been made public and all
comments regarding its terms is purely
speculative.
Submission of the reply at this
critical time is subject to two inter-
pretations. One is that the allies are
endeavoring to anticipate the conclu-
sion of a Turko-Bulgarian agreement.
1t has been reported recently that
Turkey had bought Bulgarias neu-
trality by conceding the Dedeaghatch
railway to the latter country.
To Satisfy Demands.
1.-The second Interpretation is that while
the reply might have been made earlier,
it was held so the allies could be in a
position to offer entirely satisfactory terms
to Bulgaria.
This theory is supported by the nego-
tiationS of the allies with Greece and
to Bulgaria in return for the
latter's active cooperation on the side of
the allies. 1t is believed here that nego-
tiations are entering a decisive phase, al
though the cabinet has not been sum-
moned to consider a reply to the allies
note"
Greek King for Neutrality.
BERLIN, August 9, by wireless.--The

part of the lost ground and hindered
the enemy by our fire from con-
strucing defenses in the positions
he still occupied.
On the same day, near Seddul Bahr,
We repulsed the enemy, who attacked
our trenches on our right wing south
of Saghadere after long preparation
by artillery and infantry fire. We
also stopped a second attack. Part
of our foremost trenches was stu
ated for a certain time between our
firing line and that of the enemy.
BY strong attacks in the evening we
reconquered the positions held by the
enemy.
In the Caucasus We continue a vigor
Gus pursuit of the enemy on our
right wing. The enemy evacuated
his positions near AlaShgerd and re-
treated at Kussedagte.

Concrete or Earthworks.

The Engineering Record says that

of modern Notifications, is obviously

In our Civil war an active shoyeiing

is whether concrete can be so re-en-

Lafcadio Hearn held that the term

Doubtless Hearn's theory is correct

does not give full credit to the Negro
