Where does the nickname of the British suffragettes, "twentieth century furies," come from?
 It is probably an adoption from an ancient mythological conception. Greek mythology created some female deities who were supposed to inhabit the low CT regions and visit the earth to avenge supposed wrongs and punish their enc mics. Black sheep were sacrificed to them at night by the light of torches, and they were represented as horrid looking creatures, wearing long. black robes, with snaky locks. bloodshot eyes and clawlike nails. Sometimes they had snakes or torches in their hair and carried scourges or sickles in their hands. The Greeks called these inn aginary crea lures erinyes, and the Ro- mans, adopting the same idea, called them furies. Virgil represents them as willing agents employed by the higher gods to stir up mischief, strife and hatred on the earth. Whoever called the British suffragettes twen- tieth century furies evidently intended to connect them with the trouble mak- CTS of ancient mythology.

Paris, Sept. 1S.-The Entente Al
lies have presented a joint note to the
Bulgarian government, asking in e.
feet that it declare itself as between
them and the Central Powers. The
Tote, however, IS not in the nature OF
an uitimatum.
The note which was delivered to
the government at Sofia two days ago
was sent in pursuance of a decision
by the Allied Powers to test the good
faith Of Bulgaria by submitting the
recent concessions made by Serbia
with the view OF securing from Bull
garia a definite statement as to her
position.
Does Not Fix Date.
Although the note does not fix a
date for a rerly, and is not an ulti-
matum, diplomats familiar with its
contents say it iclOf a nature reGuif
ing Bulgaria to take a stand one way
or the other.
l; roints ont that the Allied Powers
are 4aots% prepared to offer the Serbian
concessions on Bulgaria's claims to
disputed territory and asks Bulgaria
il the concessions secured through
Che Joint offices of the Allies viii
Living about Bulgaria's cooperation
w.thAthe other Balkan States.
Greece Involved.
What, if any, reference is made to
Greece is not disclosed, but it appears
to b9 considered that Serbia's conces-
sion should suffice to secure Bu.-
saria's adherence to the Balkan
Union. While the exact limit of the
Macedonian territory which Serbia
comedies are not known, the conces-
sion is believed to cover all the terri
tory east Of the Vardar river with a
possible neutral zone west of the riv-
81.
Such a concession would give Rul
gayia territory along her western
frontier and would leave Serbia an
opportunity to expand ntrthward and
westward the. territory now contTolr
ed by AUSTRIA
Al visit paid today to all the lega
tions here of the Balkan States re-
veals them showing deep interest.
The Austrians are withdrawing
theif front in the Sector OF the Vol
hynian triangle ct fortresses, Lutsk,
Oupno and Royno, to prepare posi-
tlonNs farther west, according to an
Auctrian official statement given o.
here today.
III this connection the Austrians
are fighting against superior Russian
forces, it IS stated, and have repulsed
numerous attacks.
