No Official Confirmation of Re-
port in Toxic, but BuIgaria's
Action is Thought to Have
Prompted the Allies.
WILL BE REFUSED, is CLAIM
Governments Policy Still Re-
mains Unchanged, Toxic
Not Willing to Lose Military
Prestige at DardaneIIeS.

Special BY United Press Wire.
Toxic, Japan, Sept. 25:-The
allies are reported to be preparing
to call upon Japan to send troops to
help block the threatened Austro-
German drive on ConstantinopIe.
No official confirmation is obtainable
here, but the report attracted con-
siderable comment today in view of
dispatches indicating that Bulgaria
may soon cast her lot with the CEN
traI empire. II the allies diplomats
make such representation their ef-
forts almost certainly may result in
failure.
Assistance of Japan's armies Is
known to have been desired for some
time by certain French leaders. It
was suggested that Japan send
troops to the Dardauelles to aid in
a quick dash on ConstantinopIe, or
send enough divisions to the Russian
front to make 1t impossible for Ger
many to drive her troops for
Balkan campaign.
The policy of the government,
however, remains unchanged. Japan
feels that the difficulties of trans
porting troops to the war theatre
would be almost insuperable. Fur
thermore, Japan is not willing to
risk her military prestige in a cam
paign of such a character as that be-
ing waged at the Dardanelles. Early
in the war the government even
frowned on movement to enlist
volunteers here for service in
France. Though Japan several
weeks ago refused to sell to Russia
her own reserves of ammunition, the
government has taken active st9pg
to aid her western allies in obtaining
supplies of shells. Government am
munition plants are being extended
and improved and some supplies OF
ammunition already have gone for
ward to Russia. By March, 1916,
Japan will be in a position to send
large supplies of war munition to
the cars army

from his vacation until Germany S
answer is en- route.
Warnings given by U boats to
several British merchant ships, sunk

fording time for their crews to es-
cape today gave officials further rea-
sons to expect favorable action by
Berlin
Unofficial advices today were that
Austrian Ambassador Dumba would
not sail on the Holland liner Rot
terdam, as planned, next Tuesday, if
his government fails to notify the
state department in the meantime
of his recall, so that he may secure

MAY ASK FOR APPOINTIVE
EXCISE BOARD IN THIS CITY

There is well-founded rumor
that an attempt will be made to get
through the Board of Aldermen an
ordinance abolishing entirely the
elective Board of Excise commits
sioners in this city, and have board
appointed by the county judge. This
method was in vogue in New Bruins
wick before the commission form of
government was adopted. 1t is said
that so disgusted are some of the
people becoming with excise condi-
tions here, and the apparent hope
lessness of electing a board that will
improve the situation, that relief
will be sought through having the
county Judge name board COM
posed of high class men rather than
submit to the kind of board that is
Invariably elected.

Athens, Sept 25:-Great crowds
paraded the streets last night and
early today in war demonstrations,
while autos dashed about the capital
carrying officers responding to the
call for mobilization of the Greek
armies. Demonstrations occurred
before the French, English and Ital-
ian legations. Crowds carried the
Greek flag and those of the allied ma
tions. Bulgarians and Turks were
not molested. The war offices were
not closed during the night.
General Danglis, minister of war,
conferred in the morning with some
of his subordinates and was later
closeted with the premier. The lat
ter's appearance outside the foreign
Office was the signal for outbursts of
cheering The newspapers are COM
menting cautiously on Bulgaria S
move and are expressing the hope
that the Bulgarian mobilization order
does not mean that Czar Ferdinand
intends to start a third Balkan war.
They informed the people that the
ministry has no present intention of
plunging Greece into a bloody con-
fiict, but deserves the support of ev-
cry good citizen in resisting any at
tempt by the Bulgarian ruler to upset
the peace of the Balkans.
The opposition papers are adopting
the same tones as those favorable to
the government. Mobilization will be
well under way when parliament
meets next Wednesday. The general
opinion here is that Bulgarian inten-
tions will be disclosed by that time.
Whether this is true of not the gov
ernment undoubtedly will ask parlia-
ment to vote its full powers. Re-
servists from outlying districts re-
ported at the Athens mobilization
center in great numbers today and
were greeted with cheers. Military
officials estimate the majority of the
men summoned to the colors will
have FeDOrted within two days

WAYS OF SIR EDWARD GREY
British Statesman Declared to Be "ln-
sular In His Tastes and De-
voted to Fishing.

Sir Edward Grey has Travelled
it is iocularly said that he
made his first visit to Paris when he
accompanied the king there a short
time ago, Alfred G. Gardner writes
in the Atlantic. He is not a lin
guist; he is wholly insular in his
tastes, almost unknown in society,
much more devoted to fishing than
to politics; speaks little, and then in
the plainest and most unadorned
fashion is Indifferent to the cur
rents Of modern life, and turns for
his literature to the quietism Of
Wordsworth, Walton and Whites
"Selborne," is rarely seen in the
house, and then seems to stray in.
as it we're. like a visitor from another
planet. And in spite of all this he
exercises an almost hypnotic inAu-
ence on parliament. The detach-
ment Of his mind, the Olympian
aloofness and serenity of his man
ner, the transparent honesty Of his
aims, his entire freedom from arti-
fee and from appeals to the "gal-
lery," all combine to give him a GER
tain isolation and authority that are
unique. His speech has the quality
Of fnality. Mr.. Asquith wins by
sheer mental superiority Lloyd
George wins by the swiftness and
suppleness of his eyolutions Sir Ed
ward Grey wins by his mere pres
ence, and the sense of high purpose
and frmness Of mind which that
presence conveys. 1t is a favorite
jest of his enemies that no man can
be quite so wise as Sir Edward Grey
looks.
