Allies Redouble Efforts
to Get Serbia to Yield

Rome, Aug. Representatives of
Great Britain, France. Italy and Rus
STA have redoubled their pressure on
| Serbia in the hope of inducing her to
/ make the desired territorial conces-
sions TO Bulgaria
Serbia has been reminded of the
support which she has received since
the beginning of her difficulties with
Austria last year Assurances have
been given that the Allies will assist
her IN the peace negotiations provided
she now yields.
The Bulgarian Minister Ia italy. d.
! Rizow, discussing in the "Tribuna" the
negotiations between the Balkan
States and the Entente. characterizes
as unjust statements that his country
considers herself indispensable TO the
Allies and is bargaining on that basis.
Bulgaria, the minister contends, has
not changed her programme She was
deceived in signing the Treaty of Bu-
! charest of 1913, under the terms of
which she ceded to Rumania nearly
5000 square miles of territory, and
now wishes reparation based on the
principle of nationality for which the
Entente is contending.
The mir" a newspaper of Sofia. in
its issue of July 13 published the fol-
lowing editorial article on the status
of the negotiations between Bulgaria
and Great Britain, France and Rus
sia:
There IS to-day no indication that
an understanding can be reached be-
tween Bulgaria and the Entente pow
ers. The reasons for this are numer-
Gus. Had these negotiations been be-
gun earlier in the war they would
have progressed more rapidly. 1t is
also true that if there existed greater
confidence between the two parties an
understanding would not have been
delayed. Nevertheless the principal
reason for delay is to be found else
where.
Mission Called Complicated.
"The Triple Entente calls for the
help of neutral nations in the name of
justice and of liberty. as well as in
the name of the unity of the peoples
concerned in a durable peace. With
this end in view the Entente powers
are laborng hard TO appease the re-
ciprocal hatreds among the Balkan
States and TO substitute amicable re-
lations toward the hostile feelings at
present existing between the Bulgari-
ans, the Serbians, the Greeks and the
Rumanians. The Entente powers, in
the pourparlers with these states, per-
sist in this idea.
This being so. the mission of the
Entente powers is complicated, not to
say impossible. The difficulty arises
from the intransigesnt attitude of the
Balkan States toward each other.
Bulgaria cannot embark in another
war without the guarantee that the
Treaty of Bucharest shall be torn up.
But there is every indication that
neither Serbia, Greece nor Rumania Is

ing the Italian coast, bombarding rail-

RESCUED FROM
A FIERY PRISON
Four Children in a Locked House -
Student Saved Neighbor
Hauled Baby from Window.

WOLFEBORO. n. H., Jan. 29.-The
fonr children of Alonzo Biekford, the
eldest four years old and the youngest
one year, were rescued from their blaz-
ing home, in which they had been lock-
ed, late Yesterday afternoon by pass
ing student. He bravely entered the
blazing structure, pulling the three eld-
est children to places of safety. The
baby was given up for lost, until loeat-
ed by neighbor and hauled through
a window.
The Bickford home, which was de-
stroyed with its contents, was a small
frame building at Wolfeboro Falls. on
the outskirts Of the village. Mrs. Bick-
ford went ont, locking her four small
children in the house. The youngsters
secured some matches and while at
play, set fire to the house.
Although the little tots screamed in
fear as the flames spread, according to
the childish prattle of the eldest, their
cries were unheard until Ernest Stack
pole, Il, q third-year student at Brew
ster Free academy in this town, hap
pened along the road and discovered
smoke and flames bursting forth.
As Young Stackpole rushed toward
the blazing building he heard the faint
cries of the children, and summoning
all his strength, managed to break open
the door, The interior was then a
seething mass of flames. but Stackpole
CROPPED around and finally located three
of the children. Although he braveIy
reentered the house in search of the
remaining child, his efforts were fruit
less, for he could not locate the baby in
the dense clouds of smoke and the ex-
cessive heat drove him out.
In the meantime he turned in an
alarm and George Smith, a neighbor.
was attracted TO the scene. BY rare
good fortune, Mr.. Smith heard the
feeble cries OF the baby and by break
ing a window on the ground floor he
was enabled to trace the outeries to a
bed within. Stretching his arm through
the window, Mr.. Smith located the
child in bed and pulled it into the open
