THE NEW CRISIS
IN THE BALKANS
Bulgaria's Warning to the Allies
That Her Grievances Against
Servia Must Be Redressed-Some
Very Significant "Ifs."
By FRANK II. s1MoNps

nNE fact 1t is impossible to escape as a
~ consequence of the new quarrel between
Bulgar and Serb outposts in Macedonia
Despite all run1ors and reports to the con-
trary, the differences between the Servian
and Bulgarian peoples in Macedonia have
not been accommodated. Now. as at every
moment since the Peace of Bucharest tenn
porarily terminated dispute which it did
not adjust, the Bugar Is ready to attack
the Serb whenever the moment seems prom
Using.
That the present moment is promising
may he doubted. A few months ago a Bull
gar army moving west at the hour when
Belgrade had fallen and Serb ruin seemed
imminent, might have Joined hands with the
Austrian invader and completed the conquest
of the bravest of the foes of the two Kaisers.
But now a Bulgarian attack would mean
prompt ravaglng of all Bulgarian shores of
the Black Sea by the Russian feet while
the allied ships before the Dardanelles would
quickly seize Bulgaria's little window on the
Aegean about Dedeagatch. Rumania and
Greece are too bound by alliance with
Seryia to defend her from such an attack
Bulgars Want Action
But If the fortunes of Servia's allies at the
present hour are mounting too high to tempt
Bulgaria to any eleventh hour union with the
two Kasers, there can be no mistaking the
fact that the situation in the Balkans Is
rapidly becoming critical. Bulgaria Is ac-
tually facing a condition in which her own
people demand that she take some action
Thus the present attack at the precise point
where she opened the disastrous second
Balkan War, the new thrust Mt the Belgrade
Salonica railroad, the life line of Servia, may
prove an adequate warning to the whole
allied camp that Bulgarian grievances must
be redressed without further delay.
These grievances are of two sorts They
are still inhabited by Bulgars. They also
concern some hundreds of thousands of Bull
gars who are being driven out of Mace
donia by Servian tyranny in fact
fleeing to escape service in the army of
their Conquerors. For Servia, hard put to
it now for men, is striving to fill up the gaps
in her ranks by drafting of Bulgar popula-
tions of the Macedonian districts taken by
her in the two Balkan wars.
Now, at all times since the Peace of
Bucharest, Bulgaria asks that there shall
be returned to her the Bulgar districts of
Macedonia. But who shall decide what
these are? The Treaty of San Stefano as
signed to Bulgaria all of Macedonia from
the Rhodopians to Albania. BY this agree
ment she was to acquire Uslub on the north
and touch the Gulf of Salonca on the south
But the Congress of Berlin tore up this docu-
ment

and concentration. No matter who
wins, the city will be the better off
for the open fight on vital questions
1t will put the winners upon their

The Times believes that now, no mat

1t must listen to the demands made

platforms, which if carried out will
give the city good government, Meth

No matter which wins the Times has
no intention of letting the city coun-
ell forget the platform To that end
every week that platform is going to
be carried upon the top of some col
umn in The Times. When progress
is attempted it will be recorded
promptly with the results. The sum
total at the end of the month, year
or administration will be down in
black and white for the approval or
disapproval of the voters. Whether
that record is good or bad in the mat
ter of promise kept or broken will de-
pend upon the council. 1t is the pur-
pose of the Times to thus gently re-
mind the new council that it means
and takes for granted that the coun-
Gil does also.

THE CALL FOR BORAH.

tBOSlOn Evening transcript
Washington dispatches chronicle the
departure this week of Senator Borah
for the west, without any authorized
announcement of his candidacy for
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton, and without his acceptance of
hundreds of invitations that have
poured in upon him since congress adj
journed to SHOW himself" and speak
in various parts of the country For
the first time since he entered the SEN
ate Borah has been obliged to break
his we'll known habit of answering
promptly every letter. His correspon-
dence has increased in the last six
weeks in a way that is said to be "a
source of much quiet amusement" to
the senator, as most of the letters deal
with his presidential prospects"
What does this call for Borah mean
1t is coming from all parts of the
country. 1t is apparently spontaneous.
Here is a senator who has neither an
organization nor abundant wealth He
has not announced his candidacy for
the presidency; may doubt whether
he will. Yet hundreds of Republicans

CLIPPER THE VITAL ISSUE

The decisive factor in the present
war is copper-all authorities on both
sides agree upon this point. We are
told by the military experts that in
this war artillery is playing and will
continue to play the star role. This
means shells, and shells mean copper
and we are assured that the Anglo
French blockade against Germany
has been designed far more to de-
prive her of the opportunity of import
ing American copper than to starve
her by shutting off food supplies. The
press ON both sides have been filled
with stories of the terrible copper
famine" in Germany and of the ex-
pedients adopted to meet it, and from
the English press we learn that the

The refusal of Senator Borah to
allow his head to be turned by the re-
peated demand for making the presi-
Dental race is an indication of sound
common sense, which should make
him many friends all over the country.
His ability is recognized. His sane
conception of his duty to the people
is admirable. He is better known as
a national figure than many men in
public life today. Yet Borah's friends
in this state do not clamor for his
sacrifice upon the political altar at
this time. Senator Borah is a compar-
atively young man and has not reach
ed his greatest strength by any means.
A great many golden opportunities
are ahead of him if he is content to
wait. But if now projected into the
presidential ring with the old line Re-
publicans opposed to him and the
Progressives still suspicious, he has
little chance of success against Presi-
dent Wilson. Probably Senator Borah
realizes this as much as his friends,
hence his refusal to take the honor too
seriously. Later Borah, when his real
strength of character is recognized, as
we'll as his sincere efforts for the vital
issues for the common people, that he
can accept the honor and gain the
coveted presidential chair. Now the
ticket will face two suspicious fac
tons of the party, each looking for
flaws, and would thus be sacrificed.

offensive on the western battlefront
is delayed merely because the Allies
have not, as yet, sufficiency of am
munition to render an aggressive poll
cy successful. Just how vital is this
subject of copper is shown in the fol-
lowing editorial from the London
Times:
"Sir John French stated to a news
paper correspondent the other day that
the problem of the war is munitions,
more munitions, always more NUM-
tons
Eve may add to this emphatic state
ment that the problem chiefly turns
not upon small arms and ammunition,
but upon shells. There is no secret
about this matter. 1t affects all the
combatants in varying degree.
when the Germans wrench copper
door-plates off Brussels offices, and
order in Sweden hundreds of solid
copper statuettes of the redoubtable
Won Hindenberg, they are simply deal
ing with one phase of the problem
as it touches themselves. When Brit
fish battleships are sunk in the OAR
danelles, they are lost in the attempt
to clear pathway by which more
shells can be conveyed to Russia.
when the British Government
seeks to adjust unhappy labor diff
culties and set about the organization
and control of certain branches of the
industry, the primary consideration
which influences them is the over
whelming importance of increasing the
output Of shells.

and Progressives are discussing Borah
and. many of them are writing to him
or to the newspapers about him.
| Neither Mr.. Taft nor Mr.. Roosevelt
are backing Borah, yet both say they
will take the stump for him gladly if
he is nominated. West of the Missis-
sippi river he is looked upon by many
as the "favorite son" of that whole
section Republican leaders in Maine
have been trying for two months to
get him to make a trip with them
through that state. The radical Sena-
tor Norris of Nebraska, declares him
to be the "ablest man available" for
the Republican nomination Elihu
Root and Henry Cabot Lodge are not
yet ready to say that Borah will be
nominated, yet both are his hearty adj
mirers and neither will be surprised
at his nomination
How comes it that within a few
months and without the semblance of
an effort on his own part or that of
his friends, Senator Borah looms up
from out of the west with a strength
as presidential possibility greater.
than any two of the avowed or recep-
tive candidates for the Republican
nomination? Are the people really do
ing their own thinking about the mat
ter? Is the call for Borah significant
of widespread party sentiment in
favor of presidential nomination
forced upon the leaders by the rank
and file? 1t is perhaps too early to
say, but the Borah boom must receive
a swift and certain check if the next
Republican national convention is to
be the "favorite son" gathering which
powerful party leaders are diligently
working for today in the hope of keep
ing the nomination in their own hands

moment to the candidate of their own

set of the war to realize fully the mag
nitude of the requirements of artil-
lery ammunition. Germany showed
no more foresight than the rest.
I'VE have lost much valuable time,
and have unwittingly made the war
longer by our lack Of provision. The
sooner we turn out shells in greater
abundance, the sooner the war will
be over. Many factors must be brought
into play to secure ultimate victory,
but supply Of shells will take pre-
cedence of all others. Just now 1t is
of even greater Importance than the
supply of men,"
Copper has been declared a contra
band of war, and almost every neu-

its expectation to either of the bellig-
erents, and yet, we are assured, Ger

tiful, at least regular supply of this
and other contraband of war. The
Echo de Paris quotes from the Rome

accomplished:

traffic in contraband is at Barcelona

week. making trip of eight hundred
miles from his home in Aiken, S. c.,
to Brooklyn in order to see the first
five chapters OF "The Goddess pro.
duced.
, Mr.. Morris wrote "The Goddess.
and was so anxious to see the first
work of his pen produced on the
screen that he decided to take the
long trip.
The author expressed himself as
greatly pleased with the work that
Ralph w. Ince had done in directing
the picture under the supervision of
A. E. Smith and ]. Stuart Blackton.
and he had high praise for Anita
Stewart and Earle Williams. who
played the leading roles. Mr.. Morris
arrived in Brooklyn in the morning
and departed the afternoon of the

Photoplay Combined
With Spoken Drama
in Production of
Ince'S, "Alien"

Just when 1t would appear that the
motion picture had about exhausted
the novelties Of entertainment. there
comes a combination of the pictures
and the spoken drama In an intense
production that has startled the
friends Of both branches Of the
amusement business. EOS,
In The Alien" which was an
adaptation of The Sign Of the
Rose" and was really intended for
a photoplay. George Beban has made
q combinat ton Of the stage and the
screen that Is as radical d departure
from the conventional methods of
producing a drama, as 1t is thrilling
in its results. All of the play ex-
cept the last act Is shown in pic
lures For the last act the people
who played the first part before the
screen actually appear on the stage
and presented their characters in
spoken denouement.
No warning was given the specta-
tors Of what was coming, and the
entire audience in the New York
produced gasped as the curtain rose
on a completely set stage and the
characters they had just seen Ia mo-
ment before in photographs walked
on the stage and spoke their lines.
The novelty is the joint production
Of Mr.. Beban and Thomas H. lnce,
the resourceful director in chief OF
the New York Motion Picture Cor
poration. After the performance Mr.
Ince was called upon to tell why he
made such production. He ex-
plains:
There Is nothing to my mind more
replete with tense and binding inter-
est than the sudden. unexpected met
amorphosis from the picturized play
to the old footiight drama, during
which the various principals figura-
lively step out of the screen and on
to the stage to enact their parts in
real lite.
The effect Of this magic change

accomplished so quickly that when
the screen is lifted, Transforming the

ing, the transition actually takes
ones breath away. and the sound of
the voices of the players who but a
moment before were screen phan-
toms, creates All entirely weird but

IF the drama, under present con-
ditions, is destined to decline, then
