attitude on the side of o1r enemies.
we are prepared to give our friends
in the Balkans all the support in our
power. in a manner that would he
most welcome to them, in concert with
our allies. without reserve and with
out qualification" was the pregnant
announcement made by Sir Edward
Grey. the British foreign secretary in
the House of Commons this after
noon.
The premier made an urgent appea,
to all his hearers to abstain from rails
ing questions concerning recruiting
for the national service.
A Critical Moment
I'VE are at a critical moment in the
history of the war" he said. I'VE are
watching with most intense sympathy
and hope the gallant combined eff
forts Of the allied forces.
Il don't think a greater disservice
could be rendered this country and
the cause of the allies than that at
this moment a suggestion should go
forth to the world that there is any
division Of opinion here"
The speeches of Premied Asquith
and Foreign Secretary Grey were fol-
lowed with the closest attention.
Bulgarian Relationship
Secretary Grey emphasized the long
standing friendship between Great
Britain and Bulgaria and added: .
Our official information from the
Bulgarian government is that they
have taken up a position Of armed
neutrality to defend their rights and
independence, and that they have no
aggressive intentions whatever against
their Balkin neighbor. Not only is
there no hostility in this country to
Bulgaria, but there Is a traditional
warm feeling Of sympathy with the
Bulgarian people. So long, Therefore,
as Bulgaria does not side with the
enemies Of Great Britain or her al
lies there can be no question of Brit
ish influence or forces being used in
any sense hostile to Bulgarian inter-
ests; and 50 long as the Bulgarian
attitude is unaggressive there can be

BABY THROWN IN
BUSHES BESIDE THE
OLD ORCHARD ROAD

Saco, Sept. 2S.-Thrown into the
bushes by the side of the highway on
the Old Orchard road, about one mile
from City hall, and left to die, a beau
tiful four weeks old baby boy was
found this morning by Oliver Lari-
Were, laborer employed by the street
department, who has been cutting the
bushes along the roadside About 715
while he was working he heard cries
from clump of bushes about six rods
from the road, which caused him to
think there was young crow in dis
tress. He made investigation and was
surprised to find the baby. kicking
and crying piteously. He took the
child to the home of Miss Nellie Smith,
assistant librarian in the Dyer Libra
ry and shortly after DR.. Stickney was
called. 1t is expected the baby will
survive unless pneumonia sets in. 1t
is believed the child was left in the
bushes but a short time as he would
have persisted with cold had he been
there during the night.
City Marshal Justus B. Cobb was
notified and he made investigation and
found carriage tracks which had come
from the direction of Old Orchard,
leading to the place where the child
was found. No one on the Old Orchard
road saw anyone pass this morning.

GREEK POSITION

London, Sept 2s.-(Noon)-."T pa
cific assurances of the Bulgarian min
lister at Athens has not had the effect
of altering the determined position of
Greece. which nothing short of Bull
garian rehabilitation can alter" says
Reuters correspondent at Athens.
THE victory of the allies in the
Champagne came at the right moment
to dispel the last vestige of sympathy
for the Central Powers, which have
been losing ground since the Bulsa-
rian mobilization. The Greek mobili-
cation has had a discouraging effect
on the Germans here. According tC
trustworthy news from Serbian sour.
ces, the Austro-German forces concen-
trated at the Serbian frontier, along
the Pancsova -Orsova line do not ex-
coed 100000 men. They are composed
mainly of old men and youth, al
though they are provided with pow
erful artillery.
The projected attack against Ser
bia is believed to have been necessar-
lily postponed"

Overseas News Agency Greece has as
sured Serbia she will resist the pass
age Of foreign troops through Greek
territory. The news agency says:
Reports from the Balkans say that
the Greek minister to Serbia called
on the Serbian prime minister and
told him that Greece had decided to
offer determined resistance to the
passage of foreign troops through
Greek territory.
Budapest newspapers say that the
Serbian minister at Sofia, Teholak AM

of absence, owing to ill health. The
premier told the Serbian minister that
leave Of absence had been granted to

The allusion to the passage Of for

probably refers to recent reports that
If Bulgaria should attack Serbia the

Washington. Sept 2s.-Dr. Constan-
tin Theodor Dumba. the ambassador
from Austria telegraphed the State De-
partment today from the summer en-
bassy at Lenox, Mass. that he had been
ordered home by his government and
asked that a safe conduct be arranged
for him.
To Facilitate Return
In the light Of advices from American
Ambassador Penfield at Vienna that the
Austrian foreign Office had given in
formal assurances that DR.. Dumba
would be recalled as asked by President
Wilson. the State Department construed
DR.. Dumba's dispatch of today as not
ifcation that official action has been
taken by Vienna and will arrange for
his safe conduct without waiting for
formal notice from the Austrian foreign
Office. This action is considered by the
American government as closing the
incident pr. Dumba made himself un-
acceptable to this government when he
attempted to transmit through James F..
correspondent, report to his foreign
Office which disclosed his participation
in plans to cripple American munitions
plants by strike.

MERCHANT MARINE IS NECESSARY FOR
 TRADE PANS|ON

Greensboro. N. C.. August 4.-Secretary the banquet of the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce in hls absence, declared that if American cotton manufacturers were prepared now to turn out the kind of cotton goods the people of Central and South America want we could undoubt- edly take and keep the vast amount of trade in cotton goods our foreign com petitors have been obliged to abandon"
 The secretary urged the importance of a shipping bill similar to the one which failed of passage at the last session of Congress.
 If you want South American trade: if you want world trade" the letter read. ''the indispensable step Is an American merchant marine to carry our commerce to the ends of the earth under the pro- tection of the Stars and Stripes"
 MT. McAdoo said leading southern cotton manufacturer told him that if he risked his capital in producing the kind of goods the South American market re- quired and in introducing them, he would find himself driven out of that market after the war because foreign steamship owners could increase freight rates over night to discriminate against American trade. This manufacturer declared, said the secretary, that if reliable steamship service were established, under the Ameri- can flag and backed by the United States government, southern manufactures would Increase their plants, manufacture the goods required and go after the South American trade.
 This is. undoubtedly. a reasonable and sound position for the cotton manufac- turer to take. the letter continued. He cannot be expected to make a perilous 1nN estment. nor can he command the necessary capital to enlarge his business for South American trade, unless he can have assurance of reliable ocean trans portation at reasonable rates"
