GREECE POLICY
IS UNCERTAIN
1T is CLAIMED SERviAN NORTH
ERN ARMY is BEING SLOWLY
BUT SURELY CUT DOWN.

London.-While Greece hesitates
the Servian northern army is being
slowly but surely ground down before
the combined pressure OF the Asstro-
German and Bulgarian forces. The
fate of Nish hangs by a hair, and it
is only at the southern end OF the
battle front that the Bulgars are
meeting with any reverses. There, ac'
cording to reports, the British are CO.
operating with the French, but as half
these reports are unofficial and frag-
mentary, it cannot be said authorita-
lively whether the British are in touch
with their new enemy.
II the Bulgar-Teuton tide is turned,
the best opinion here is that it will
be some weeks hence, involving pc
riod of uncertainty such as preceded
the stand before Paris and on the
User. But giving the entente powers
a months time, it is argued that they
can throw 100000, and perhaps 300,
600 men into Servia, not including
Russians, and with such a force not
only dispute the advance OF the central
powers, but contest Bulgaria's occu
patton of Servian Macedonia.
The Germans remain on the defen
sive in the east and west. Neither
theater has developed any large oat
ties. as modern battles are reckoned.
The Turks continued active in the
Dardanelles region, as is recorded N
British official communication from
tie Gallipoli Peninsula. This says the
Turks launched attacks against tie
British right in the Anzac region. bu'
that they did not dent the British
lines.

A COMMUNICATION

An article published in the Malheur
Enterprise Of January 10Th, 1916, under
the heading of Items From'Big Bend, "
places Big Bend in false light before
the rest Of the county.
When the Pomona Grange laid down
the rules of the Corn Carnival, one of
the rules was that each contestant must
exhibit two bushels Of corn, the corn
thus exhibited TO be donated 10 the
Grange; and 10 be sold TO help defray
the expenses incurred by the contest.
After awards were made the county
bought the corn to be exhibited at
the Walla Walla Corn Show or where
ever they saw fit, the corn thus passing
out of its former ownership to be used
to advertise the county and not any one
community.
The contestants knew before the
awards were made they did not have
the only corn in the county and knew
still better when another district had
hve contestants with yield of over 100
bushel per acre that there were other
places in the county that could raise
corn about AS well as Big Bend.
II the Walla Walla Corn Show would
bring any settler to Malheur County,
they would naturally inquire wnere the
corn was raised if that was what they
were after.
The contestants from Big Bend are
proud to be able to give to the county
their share of the records of the Corn
Carnival TO advertise the county.
