London. Italy and Roumania are
reported to have reached an under
standing with Bulgaria by which the
three nations may intervene on the
side OF the Allies without fear that
their interests will clash.
Bulgaria is said to have received as
surances from the Car of Russia
which have greatly weakened the in
fiuence Of Emperor William with Gar
Ferdinand.
Bulgaria is ready to strike at Tur-
key, but Roumania is delaying action
in the hope that the Allies will soon
force the Dardanelles.
Roumania is in need of ammunition,
which is being supplied to her only
in slow installments, but the opening
of the Dardanelles would enable her
to receive abundant shipments from
France.

This incident was reported at the

PREPARATION for the insult to the flag

ties, but that SO far no reply had come.
In answer to inquiries, he said there

Mr.. Bryan explained that the Bra

death, March IL, mentioned only the
fact that the American flag was flying

entry of the Zapatistas into the house,
the flag was badly torn by the Zapati-

The same committee, the minister
reported, had submitted to him a
photograph of the house and flag.
In this connection it became known
that several foreign flags had been VIC

them the American flag over the h-use

that because he lives we shall. live
also. Our feet are set securely upon
the road, and we shall climb in safety

It is into our night-dark valleys that
the vision comes, for sunshine blots it
out. The valley is by day smiling
