London.-With the Anglo-French

tihed base at Saloniki, where re.en-
lorcements are arriving daily, the sec
ond phase OF the Balkan campaign,
which opened with the Teutonic inva'

Defigerent countries are anxiously
Raiting for the next move.
i seems fairly well settled that The
Sulgarians do not intend 20 invade

ause d~issensions in that country,

CHICAGO GETS REPUBLICANS
The National Republican COMMITTEES
Makes Decision at Washington
Meet-Date Set for June 4.

Observation-Disclosures has been Sc
lected by the Republican national
committee as the meeting place Of
the 1916 Republican national conyen
ton, to be held June Z, one week be,
fore the Democratic convention in
| st. Louis.
Advocates of an early convention
argued that now was the time for the
Republican party to take the offensive
against its political enemies without
regard to the ancient custom Of al.
lowing the party in power to meet
first and announce its candidates and
principles. 1t val urged that the par
ty should not consider a defensive
campaign, but should blaze the trail
and give its story to the country first
without waiting to see what the Dem.
ocrats intended to do.
Technical objections raised to an
|. early date by representatives Of West
Virginia and South Dakota, where pri.
maries to elect convention delegates
are held June 6, was swept away by
adoption OF a resolution which will
permit placing the anne of the can.
didates from these states on the TEN.
porary roll of the convention with the
agreement that certification by tele
graph from the proper state authori
ties after the primaries will be valid
authorization for the seating.
The fight for the convention proved
to be more one-sided than friends oil
the cities which lost had believed II
would be. The fact that the Demo
Gratis meet in st. Louis June IA and
that many thousands who will attend
have made reservations at the hotels
there for several days ahead undoubt
eddy had its influence against ST. Louis
after the committee had decided upon
June Z as the date. San Francisco
made a strong showing, but the com
bination between st. Louis, San Fran
cisco and Philadelphia talked Of failed
to materialize. 1t would have made
no difference, for Chicago had a ma
jority over all.
Representative J. Hampton Moore
made the principal argument for Phil
adelphia. Henry r. Rathbone and
Mayor Thompson for Chicago; Repre-
sentative Julius Kahn for San Fran
cisco, and ex-Mayor c. P. Walbridge
for st. Louis. After the vote was tax
en- the contest apparently was forgot

campaign plans.

TELEPHONE OVER
CABLE A SUCCESS

In speaking of the telephone com
munication over the government cable,
by Dr. Musso, who recently made sew
eral tests of an instrument of his in
vention from the Valdez office, Mr.
Gilbert, of the local Office states that
by the use of a set of ordinary head
receivers he was able to hear the in
ventor distinctly. Having mo APP
paratus here, he was, of course unable
to reply except by means of the usual
cable apparatus.
Mr.. Gilbert states that while the
message received was not perhaps as
loud as that coming over the ordinary
land lines, it was nevertheless quite as
distinct, and proves beyond all doubt
that for short distances, at least, the
invention is a success.
