ALLIES HAVE WON

LONDON, Aug. 21.-That the En- tente powers have won over Greece and Bulgaria and that these will soon throw their military forces against the Teutonic-Turkish armies is in- dicated by advices yesterday from near East An Athens dispatch to the Washington Star says the Bull garia legation there has announced that proposals by the Entente powers have been found satisfactory.

 To Renew Attacks on 0ardanelIes
 A renewed British offensive at the Dardanelles and the appointment of Gen. Carrail to lead the French are taken as confirmation that the straits operations will be carried to a defi- nite conclusion as soon as possible. With the Bulgarian and Greek armies assisting, the Allies believe they can roll the Turkish army back into Asia and clear the Dardanelles and Bospor- us for a great needed relief of Rus sia.
 Roumanla To Join
 Roumania, which was ready to fol- low Italy but was deterred by Aus tro-German victories in Balicia, will not undoubtedly follow Bulgaria and Greece. A dispatch from Bucharest says: "Internal conditions in Rou- mania are serious. Six hundred thou sand carloads of wheat, the crops of this year and last, are prevented shipment. and the peasants are bein- ming to show threatening attitude" Unless the government does some thing to relieve the strain, a revolt simiuar to that of 1907 is feared. It is believed that the government will be influenced by those considerations and hasten it's intervention in favor of the Entente. giving an early aid in the effort to force the Dardanelles." :"

AUTOS ARE BECOMING
RAILROAD COMPETITORS

Lincoln, Neb., April 5.-'Let the
railroads raise their rates on passen'
ger traffic" said a Lincoln automobile
dealer today after reading Of the u.
5. supreme courts decision in the
West Virginia two cent fare case.
IF the Nebraska railroads put up
their rates to two and half or three
cents, it is easy to demonstrate that
good light car, sensibly driven and
properly cared for, can carry load of
people from one town to another in
Nebraska for less money than the rail
road.
"A raise in passenger rates would be
a good thing for the automobile bust
ness. know Of a number of travelling
men who are thinking of using light
cars in making their towns. This ex.
ira half cent a mile on railroad rates is
all that is needed to make them Gus

many of them Abraham Lincoln.
Down deep in their hearts, the

life know, that the common people are
trodden under foot, and held in sub.

Here is an incident which should be
food for reelection to the easy-going,
well-to-do portion Of our community,
whose privilege it is to worship God
IN fine churches surrounded by every
refined comfort conducive to close
! communion with the lowly Nazarine,
whose heart went out to the poor, tho
destitute and the uneducated-the
common people. This morning there
came to the writer's door a young ne
gro and his wife, asking for bread.
They had made a four days trip on
foot. from Guthrie, with little food to

last night in the Frisco depot They
were fairly intelligent, neat and clean,
considering their hard trip; and they
had good faces. They asked not char
ity, except as a last resort, but had
made this long trip in search of work.
Their faces wore a look Of grave ser
iousness, and when the woman talked
her eyes filled with tears.
This is only one case Of thousands.

to know the cause Of so much unem.
