Bryan's Opposition to Presi-
dents Program Offers Field
for SpecuIations.
MAY MEAN A BIG SPLIT
IN RANKS OF DEMOCRACY
Republican and Independent Sup.
port Of Presidents Policy Also
Enters Consideration.

And now the politicians have a rare
chunk of gossip to roll under their
tongues. In lasting qualities and gen.
eral succulence it may be likened to
what the schoolchildren call an "all-
day sucker"
Bryan has thrown down the gauntlet
to the President. What will be the ef-
feet upon the Presidents renominati ton
and reelection and what the result to
the democratic party? Does it mean
that just as the republicans are reunit-
ing the democrats are preparing to
split? Where do the hyphenated Amer
leans "get Off" Is Bryan preparing to
start third party?
The angles of discussion are illimit-
able. Corrugated brows arc tho fnsh :

soul. is pictured with more crows feet
in the corners of her eyes. 1t was not
enough that the republicans should

Bryan and add to her troubles.
Did Mr.. Bryan find the present psy-
Geological moment, the politicians ask,
that the close finish and reduced plu-
ralities in Maryland and Kentucky and
the defeat in Massachusetts, represented
a rebuke to the President?
Look on the Dark Side.
Thus they jabber. these politicians, as
they discuss the latest thrill which Mr.
Bryan has given the country, and they
ask more questions than they answer.
Prone to pessimism, they look on the
dark side first and the weight of opin-
ion as expressed inclines to the judg-
ment that Mr.. Bryan Is intent upon op-
q nOfnt
Of destroying him II he can.
No other conclusion appears possible
from their line of reasoning and the
logic of the situation as presented by
Mr. Bryan's vigorous antagonism,
which Is personal, and aimed directly
at the President.

Seek to Cut Off Serbians.
Austrian attacks to cut off the Ser
bian retreat into Macedonia are being
made to the east of Trebinye, in Herze-
govina, about forty miles north of Cat
taro. Thus the Montenegrins are being
threatened from the west near the
coast as well as from the north. where
fighting has been doing on for some
time.
The Serbians' retreat into Monte
negro is made still more difficult by
the junction which has been effected
between the forces of Gen. Won Koevess
and the Austrian troops, which have
invaded Serbia from Bosnia, north OF
Vishegrad.
Predicts End in Two Weeks.
The prediction that the Serbian cam
paien will be ended in two or three
weeks is made by NJ. Toncheff. Bull
sarian minister of finance. in an in
teryiew published today by the Berlin
Tageblatt.
Every one in Bulgaria, M. Tonchen
said, expects to regain the old Bull
garian territory for which the nation
fought in the Balkan war. Referring to
the Greek crisis. he expressed the con-
vicition that King Constantine and all
the authoritative statesmen of Greece
were determined to maintain the ma
tons neutrality under all circum-
stances. He considered that beyond
doubt a man would be found to con-
tinue the policy of neutrality.
NJ Toncheff said the relations be-
tween Greece and Bulgaria were en-
tirely satisfactory, and that the politi-
cal and financial interests of Bulgaria

and Turkey were identical and would
be so for many years to come.
Discusses Use of Saloniki.
"Are we justified in using Saloniki as
military base?" asks the Post in an
! editorial urging the government TO
! make a definite decision regarding
Great Britain's relations with Greece
Our position" says the Post .is that
Salonlki is a neutral port and leads
into neutral country through which
our armies must advance or retreat

~ again. If benevolent neutrality suits

pend on the course of the Serbian war.
and enemy armies far outnumber the
observation-disclosures forces.
Sees Possible Danger.
1T is reasonable to suppose, there
fore. that the Serbian army will be
rendered ineffective as an organized
body before our expeditionaryS forces
reach the scene of hostilities. Then
the Bulgarian force will be available
TO push the Anglo French contingent
pack INTO Greece, whereupon Bulgaria
undoubtedly would demand from
Greece fulfillment of the strict -obliea-
tlons OF her neutrality-namely, the
disarmament and internment of the
Anglo French army. This demand
would be supported by three factors
international usage, the influence of the
central powers and the threat of Bull
garian invasion. There is every lken
hood that Greece would comply
Is the government prepared for such
possibility? We are engaged in
throwing forward our army over a
surface which may crack at any mo-
ment and engulf it,"

denomination, either in his own behalf
or that of some man of his own
choosing.
It is taken for granted that Mr.
Bryan will appeal to the German
American vote for support in his cru
SADIE against the President. Politicians
see an anomaly in the spectacle of q
class of citizens tenacious of their per
sonal liberty" in the fight which Mr.
Bryan is waging for prohibition, cham
pioning Mr.. Bryan as a candidate or a
leader.

a strange slogan to the practical politi.
cians it is said, in. a strong German
community, but that is what they would
have to hear If they listened to Mr.
Bryan.
May Bring New Following.
Another practical consideration which
presents itself to the politicians-and
here Is where the republican looks
down his nose-is the suggestion that
out of Mr.. Bryan's antagonism, espe-
cially If it is reinforced by German
American support, may come the up
building of strong following for Mr.
Wilson among the independent and re-
publican voters.
There can be no question that the
country is very tender already upon the
attacks on President Wilson for his de-
mands in the Lusitania and Arabic
homicides. Many republicans are ready
it Is believed. should there come an is-
sue on this point. to support President
Wilson.
If, in addition there is to be an issue
against the patriotic and widespread
demand for national preparedness
backed by the same element which crit
icised him for his attitude on the sub
marine atrocities, politicians say they
can easily see how a whirlwind of SEN
timent can be raised in this country
which might sweep away party lines.

The king has charged NJ. Skouloudis
with the formation Of a cabinet. The
ex ministers under Zaimis are to re-
tain office, NJ. Skouloudis taking the

fairs in the cabinet of ID Rhallis. in
1897. On behalf of Greece ne signed
the peace treaty made !. 1918 between

ment of the Greek crisis. According to
resignation of NJ. Zaimis (the Greek
premier) was preceded by stormy de-
bates in the Greek parliament. Sew
eral prominent party leaders attacked the

everywhere that the Greek general

prise.
Followers Divided.
It is pointed out that the followers
Of Venizelos are divided on the ques-
ton of participation in the Balkan
war, since an important section of his
party favors demobilization.
"In this connection, it Is interesting
that Mr. Asquith (the British prime
minister) in a recent speech disclosed
that venizelos' protest against the en-
tente landing at Saloniki was only for
forms sake, while in secret he IA
yored the landing"

MINERAL WATER TRADE IN 1914.
More Than 800 Different Waters on the
Market and 100000 Gallons Sold.

Market ana 94,ooU,Ouo GdlionS oolu'
The annual report on the production
of mineral water n the United States,
which has Just been compiled by R. B.
Dole, of the United States Geological
Survey, from reports received from
spring operators, shows that 54,35s,46s
gallons of mineral water, valued at 81
S92-32s. was bottled and sold in 1914.
The water was marketed for both medic
inal and table use and ranged in COM
position from the purest of table bev-
ersges TO the strongest mineralized wa
ters in the country. In addition TO this
quantity, 6,26l,743 gallons of mineral
water was consumed in the manufacture
OF soft drinks The latter quantity
does not begin to represent the entire
production of soft drinks. but only that
part made from mineral waters, by far
the greater part of the favored drinks
being compounded with municipal or pri-
vate waters. Though rs new springs re-
ported production, large number hith-
erto active were idle, so that the total
number of commercial springs was $50,
or nine less than in 1918. The total
production in 1918 was 81 .s67 800 gall
Ions. valued at S5.63l .39l; thus the de-
crease in 1914 was per cent. in quantity
and 10 per cent. in value. Similar de-
creases in the trade have been observed
since 1911. and may be attributed chiefly
to general improvement in the quality OF
supplies, because of which the
necessity of purchasing bottled drinking
water has been lessened. During the
last 10 years the introduction of safe
filtered spring water into several large
cities has been followed by notable iall-
ing off in business OF table-water produce
ors in the immediate vicinity.
Cheaper Mineral Waters.
Another change that has been taking
place since 1905 is the drop in the price
per gallon. from IL cents in 1906 20 nine
cents In 1914. This has been due partly
10 decrease OF price Of individual waters
but mostly TO increased sales OF low
priced table waters and decreased sales

The value Of table waters sold in 1914
