Brown & Mood OF Moscow Captured
Belgian Honors Big Show is
Most CreditabIe to Lewiston
BY D. W. GREENBURG

| Moscow and Latah county made a

at Lewiston, the three big prizes at
the show being captured by the Uni
versity of Idaho, that of students

+ & Mood, well-known breeders of stall
lions, went highest honors in Belgian
class, winning an award for the best
general display, champions on stall
lion and four mares and stallion
three years old or over, and winning
both first and second on stations
three years old or over. The universe
ty prize winners were both university
bred.
The participation of the university
in the big show is one of the marked
features and much favorable comment
is heard Dean E. J. Iddings, who is
on the grounds, is regarded as one
of the best authorities on live stock
in the nation and his advise is eager
ly sought by livestock owners.
The big show at Lewiston is
revelation to the initiated. Ordinar-
lily few persons can be enthused with
an exhibition of this character unless
they are directly interested and only
a visit to the grounds can the gen
eral public grasp the overwhelming
of the livestock industry
to the Pacific Northwest. Even the
casual observer at the grounds, as
he wanders about among the build
ings inspecting the magnificent pro-
portions of the blooded stock, is
finally swept away by the splendid
specimens of animals on exhibition
until he becomes at once confirmed
enthusiast and for ever after he be-
ieves in the support and upbuilding |
If such institutions as the Northwest
Live Stock show, because of its real

Despite the financial burden under
which the annual show is held at Lew

NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-tFoday's an
nouncement by the Bulgarian premier
Of the terms on which Bulgaria is
willing to fight for the quadruple en-
tente is the most important develop
ment in the Balkan situation since
the allies negotiations with Bulgaria
began.
The fate OF the Turks is now being
closely bargained for at Sofia and the
future development OF southeastern
Europe is in the balance. Only firm
diplomacy on the part Of the allies Is
needed to entice Bulgaria into the
war. The Sofia government is un-
ouestionably prepared to fight for the
territory it lost during the second Bal
kan war and II the allies fail to buy
the Bulgar armies for their own use,
the blame will be entirely their own.
The Bulgarian premier's terms are
not such as the allies cannot meet.
Bulgaria apparently is willing to aoan-
don its former insistence upon receiv-
ing part of the Greek Aegean coast
and will count Serbian Macedonia a
sufficient payment.
Serbias consent, therefore, is the
sole remaining major requirement
which the allies must have in order
to start the Bulgarian troops toward
Constantinople. Serbia is the country
that brought on the present conflict.
Had it not been for the intervention
of England and France in the war,
Serbia would be now conquered ter.

Hungary. That the Serbians should

show a certain stub5ornness about
parting with territory they took from
Bulgaria two years ago is natural,
but that the allies will permit this
stubbornness to prevail is scarcely
conceivable.
Italy, however may be urging the
allies not to adopt too insistent an
attitude toward Serbia. To compen-
safe for the loss OF Macedonia, Ser
bians are demanding that they be
allowed to annex northern Albania.
This would be a fair trade. because
with a part of Albania in her posses
sion Serbia would have an outlet to
the sea through her own territory and
would cease to remain an inland state.
But Italy is not over-pleased with the
idea of Serbia breaking through to
the Adriatic. One reason why the
Roman government entered the war
was to make the Adriatic an Italian
lake, and to secure dominant posi-
ton over the Slavs that border the
Adrfatic's eastern shore. If Serbia
becomes an Adriatic power Italy must
limit her ambitions.
Serbia already has conquered
large part Of northern Albania and
but recently suspended her Albanian
campaign because of Italian objec-
tions. Italy, however, has not been
sufficiently successful in the war to
be able to dictate to her allies. Furth-
ermore, Italy can be compensated IN
Asia Minor, if Serbia is given an
Adriatic holding and If Bulgaria there
upon sets her price and captures Con,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Troubie
with General Carranza was deemed
imminent today.
Government officials admitted
growing anti-American feeling at
Vera Cruz. Carranza was hastenlns
preparations to move to Mexico City
His position there, it was agreed
would be much stronger than at vera
Cruz. Once In the interior, 1t was be-
iieved, he would declare himself pro
visional president and defy the Unit
ed States.
That this would be the signal for
an anti-American demonstrat1o ton,
perhaps an anti-American outbreak
was thought highly probable.
A report was current that the bat
tleships New Hampshire and Louisi'
ana had been ordered to rush to
Vera Cruz to reinforce the American
squadron. The navy department offi
| cially denied it. Nevertheless there
was every sign that the order was
about to be III It had not already beer
given. Both warships were coaitns

would be ready before the afternoons
end to sail on an instant's notice
This notice, it was believed. would be
given by telegraphic order.
Commander McNamee,, in charge
Of the American naval force at Vera
Cruz was authority for the statement
that the anti-Americanism was de-
veloping fast and that he feared
trouble.
A report that he had asked Tor
more ships was denied at the navy
department, however. 1t was admit
ted that the gunboat Marietta had
been ordered from Progreso to Vera
Cruz, but this. it was stated, was to
get the Brazilian minister. Signs OF
extraordinary naval activity followed
a conference between Secretary Lans-
ing and Acting Secretary Of the Navy
Benson. It was understood Mexico
was the chief topic Of their talk,

ject.
