BRITISH TENANTS
FIGHT LANDLORDS
League Formed to Resist Rent
Raising and to Take Cases
Into Court.
IBy cabl. 70 II. Tribunel

London, Oct. 1.-THE Tenants
Rent League" is the latest war organi-
zation which has risen In England.
The cause Of It's formation Is that
throughout England and Scotland the
landlords have made the war and the
increased income tax reasons for rails
ing rent. So far the increase has oc-
Cured only among the poorest tenan-
cies, but Is cents weekly raise means
TO these people an addition Of 10 per
cent, which added TO the already in
creased cost Of living makes the burden
almost uncomfortable and driving ten
ants TO the verge Of fury.
Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham and
London, the four most thickly popu-
lated cities of the British Isles, are the
ones chiefly affected Popular discon-
tent is increasing daily, especially be-
cause those mainly hit are the classes
whence come the majority Of army
recruits.
In footing, southern. working
class suburb Of London, a landlord
owning 100 houses, twenty-nine Of
whose tenants are fighting the Ger
mans, raised the rents 10 per cent.
Other landlords Immediately followed
suit. The Rent League held mass
meetings in the district and finally
succeeded in compelling the abandon
ment Of the attempted increase. The
league Is now advising tenants every
where 70 refuse 10 pay any excess
rents and offers to fight cases for them
in the law courts, basing the defence
sbn Uo,. Tn, orgqwpv Act
Apart from the legal issue, they
argue that 1t is grossly unfair that men
who are fighting for their country
should have their homes threate ed
during their absence, especially st a
time when every recruiting incentive Is
necessary. The league further in
tends this week TO urge upon the gov
eminent the desirability Of dealing
with the entire rent question after the
French plan for the duration Of the
war.
Ii is urged that the men 30 FAR re-
eruited belong mainly 10 the poorer
classes, whose loss Of income is usual
" met By the payment Of separation al
/ lowance, men with properly and
those whose savings enable them to
surrender their incomes. The class
practically untouched consists Of men
with dependents whose responsibilities
/ render a separation allowance for their
wives and children practically useless
/ the amount frequently not nearly
equalling the actual rent for which a
/ family is liable Il is argued that II
these men were relieved of all rent
/ burden, knowing that their homes
would be safe while they were away or
/ II they were killed, many hundreds Of
{ thousands. comprising some of the best
material in the country. would imme-
i diately respond to the call for enlist
ment.

looked upon as more significant than
any recent news from diplomatic chan
rois That IL shows some fear In SOFIA
OF Rumanian Intervention against the
Central Powers and herself 81 the opin-
ion ventured in some quarters mere.
Military experts have assumed that
when Bulgaria struck she would at
tempt 10 seize the railroad running
from Belgrade 20 Constantinople by
way Of Nish. Another line runs direct
from Nish to Salonica and IS the only
one over which the Allied troops now
being landed az the Greek port could
be transported north 10 the aid OF the
Serbians.
Bulgar Cabinet Reconstructed.
Nish. the capital Of Serbia since the
beginning Of the war, is only twenty
Ave miles 10 the southwest Of knia
shevatz, where the Bulgarians have at
tackled. Alexinatz, on the NIsh- Bel
grade railway, lies almost an equal dis
lance 70 the west. At AloxiCatz tho
Serbs were defeated by the Turks In
1876.
The Bulgarian Ministry has been 70.
constructed. according 20 a fines
dispatch from Sofia. Premier Rado-
slavof rehQuishes the portfolio OF the
Interior and retains that Of Foreign
Affairs. VI. Christie Pohof, Of the com
mission appointed 20 investigate the
events Of 1913, is appointed Minister OF
the Interior General JekoH. who has
been appointed commander In chief N
the field, retires from the War Min
istry. and is succeeded by General
Nasdenoff, the inspector Of artillery.
General Jekof, on turning over his
duties at the Ministry Of War, made a
statement 70 the representatives. OF the
foreign press, which is as follows:
Bulgaria does not desire war we
modified only when the Serbians, in
stead Of giving up Macedonia, eoncen-
trated troops on the bulgarian frontier
"Instead of compelling the Serbians
70 adopt a complainant attitude, the
Ouadruple Entente presented an ulu-
n1ntum to Bulgaria, demanding an i'm
mediate breach with the central
powers. This would have meant suicide
for us. The Quadruple Entente counted
upon causing internal disorders by TINS
action.
Bulgaria Is resolved 20 defend her
sovereign rights with dignity, and the
entire people are united IN supporting
the government"
In conclusion, General Jekof said
that any attacks the Quadruple En-
tente powers might make upon the
Bulgarian Egesn or Black Sea coasts
would be Of a difficult nature and in
tended only to produce a moral effect.
Military circles would hardly be lnhu-
enced by such movements, he said.
Advices from Sofia TO the "Berliner
Tageblatt," the Overseas News Agency
saws. quote Dr.. D. Natchef, president
Of the Bulgarian Parliament, In the
"Balkanska Pochta" as follows:
"Since the Austro-Hungarien and
German troops are approaching terri
tories which are claimed by US, Bull
garia must defend her interests, for
Austria Hungary and Germany will un-
derstand that it is incumbent upon
Bulgaria 70 occupy these territories"

HAS NEW TASK FOR WILSON
"Frankfurter Zeitung' Suggests That
He Guard Greek Neutrality.

London, Oct 1.-THE Daily Mail"
says that the "Frankfurter Zeitung,"
in an ironical invitation to Wilson to
protect Greece against the Allies "vio-
lation of her neutrality" declares:
perhaps the President OF the United
States will come to the relief of the
situation in which Greece finds herself.
1t seems TO US that the question
whether England and France have the
right to threaten country which sin
cerely desires TO remain neutral Is well
worth DR.. Wilson's serious study.
This question appears even more
urgent to us than the question of the
safety OF American citizens in Turkey
a reference to Armenian outrages), in
the same way as Europe refrains from
interfering in the treatment which
America metes out to negroes and
Indians"

to Danish Paper.

Copenhagen, Oct. 12.-The "Politi'
ken" says that British submarines in
the Baltic Sea are causing the German
mercantile feet great losses.
Give steamers are now known TO
have been sunk" says the newspaper.
How many British submarines have
got through the narrow sound Is not
known, put 1t Is evident that Germany
was too late in laying the Baltic mine

Traffic across the Baltic, the "Politi-
ken" adds, is disorganized.
London, Oct. 12.-Reports from
Sweden to-day confirm 20 a large de-
gree the statement made in the Copen-
hagen "Politiken" that British sub
marines have been active against Ger
man merchant ships in the Baltic Sea.
A dispatch from Kalmar, Sweden,
says the 4,39l-ton Hamburg American
steamer Nicomedia was sunk in the
Baltic yesterday by the British sub
marine E-19, one Of England's newest
undsrsea raiders. Another dispatch,
from Trelleborg. reports the torpedoing
off Melard, Sweden, BY a British sub

Frenchman Destroys Sausage Balloon in Fourth At

Guide Plane to Safety.

Paris, Oct. 12-During the aerial
activity which came with tho renewed
offensive on the western front thrill
ing feats have been performed fsr
above the fields OF battle. The Allied
avittors claim to have bested the Ger
mans In the majority Of the Suels.
Amsterdam dispatches state that a
recent raid Of Allied aviators on Ghcnt
and the neighboring town Of Gontrode
was so successful that not a single
hangar on the German aviation grounds
was left standing. All of them. with
their contents. were burned by in
cendiary bombs. Ten houses also were
burned.
The destruction Of Lieutenant -,
Of the aviation corps, in the Cham
payne OF German captive balloon Of
the type known as sausage" is de-
clared to have been a particularly
brilliant and difficult feat. for these
balloons always are carefully guarded.
Determined 10 get rid Of this par
ticular balloon. by means of which tn,
Germans had obtained valuable in
formation about the movements Of
the French troops, the lieutenant ex-
perimented for two months with FIRE

The aeToplanes guarding the balloon.

Paris. Oct. 12-The Socialist depu-
ties Of the Department OF the Seine
have written Premier Vivisni request
ing that immediate measures be taken
against the charging Of excessive prices
for food and fuel.
The high prices, the Deputies say,
have caused protests and created DIS
turbances between retail merchants
and the public. Spectators and whole
sale dealers are held responsible FOR
the high cost of provisions and OF coal

Serbia lent their assistance, we have
