Balkan states Involvnd.

Rcme, Sept. 2l.--Bulgaria, Rumania
and Greece may ilunge into the war
before snow falls in the Balkans.
Bucharest was most excited today
over rumors that large German forces
are concentrated near Temesvar, within
striking distance Of Serbia and Ru-
mania The Berlin announcement that
German artillery had massed on the
Serbian border to aid the Austrians had
apparently not reached Bucharest yes
terday.
Despite Austria s promise to do so as
soon as "important operations had
been completed, Austria has not yet
opened the Rumanian border. No trains
have passed for more than q fortnight,
and Furthermore, travellers have been
halted by Austrian patrols.
Rumanians believe these forces have
been massed close to their frontier for
demonstration of what will happen
to them IN case they aid the allies.
Military activity is increasing at
Sofia and Athens. Troops are passing
through Sofia daily. Pro-German agents
are stirring the people to induce Bul'
garia TO aid the Teutohs.
Further indications that Sofia is pre-
pairing for emergencies were seen today
in the fact that all dispatches from
there were heavily censored.
Greece, likewise, is getting ready

NEUTRAL VESSELS
WILDE UNFRAMED
BY SUBMARINES
Evidence Accumulates That
Germany Seeks No More
Trouble

Washington, Sept. 2l.-Further evil
denee that Germany intends to steer
clear of trouble with neutral ships
reached the state department today in
the form of request for palmer mark
ing of these vessels.
"The department is in receipt of &
communication from the German ambas-
sador to the effect mat he is advised
by his government" said a statement,
that merchant vessels which desire to
show their neutral allegiance by paint
ing their national colors on the side,
often make the mistake of having
these distinctive signs so small that
they cannot be made out from dis
tance.
"The German government suggests,
therefore, that the foregoing be brought
to the attention of American ship own
ers in their own interests.

Berlin, via London, Sept. 21.--Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg has cut tae
wilma Baranovitshi railroad over which
the Russians hoped to retreat from Vii
ma, it was officially announced today.
This move leaves the fleeing Slavs in
. critical position, and promises to
throw many of them into the grasp of
the Germans.
The official statement did not make
it clear whether the wilma Molodeclno
line had also been cut. If it has, re-
treat by railways from Wilma is cut off,
and 100000 Slavs must fight their way
out over roads and through fields.
General Won Eitehhorn, participating
in the. general plan to capture them, is
pressing hard southeast of NCWo Gro
dek. There the Slavs are fighting des-
perate rear guard actions.
No changes were reported today in
the assault on the outer defenses of
Dvinsk which has been proceeding Wig
orOusly.
Regarding the western front, the
statement admitted that the Germans
had retired from untenable bloekhouses
at Sapigneul near the Aisne Marne
canal, after having been pounded in a
struggle lasting several days.

New York, Sept. 2l.-Exhaustion of

the reason operations against the Rus

The Teuton advance has slowed down
from run to shuttle, and their large

vaItages. All of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's strategy has been unable
to overcome the Dvina defenses which
are infantile compared to the Vistula

way theoretically cleared, the Teutons
now seem to be ketting into deeper diff
ficulties.
This condition is not due to the fact
that the czar is now commanding nor
to repletion Of Russian ammunition.
1t is due to the Teuton inability to
establish a decisive superiority in mum
itions.
The Slavs lost theirs by capture,
graft and inefficiency. The Teutons
blew theirs up in the unprecedented
operations in the past five montls.
This has given the Russians the ad.
vantage. Absence OF artillery ammuni
ton necessitates close range fighting
and equalizes the casualties. The czar
however, can afford to lose more men
than the Germans can. Hence the Ger

|BORAX IS EFFECTIVE
| IN ANT|-FLY FIGHT

That the use Of powdered borax will
be a considerable factor from now on
In the nationwide fight for the ex-
termination Of flies is considered prob
able by local health oficials as a re-
suit Of experiments made with this
substance by the Department OF Agri-
culture.
DIR. L. o. Howard. chief Of the bureau
Of entomology of the department and
one of the earliest anti-hy crusaders,
has just issued a new bulletin on flies
in which he discusses the borax plan.
According to this authority borax not
only is effective in killing the larvae,
but when it comes in contact with the
eggs 1t exerts a toxic action which
prevents them from Matching.
Borax Is recommended for use prin-
cipally in stables. which are the prin-
cipal fly hatcheries. The minimum
amount necessary to kill fly larvae
was found to be 0.62 pound per bushel
of manure. or about one pound per six
teen cubic feet. Best results were OBJ
tained when the borax was applied in
solution. or when water was sprinkled
on after the borax had been scattered
evenly over the pile.

Seek the New Citizen.

The purpose Of the bureau in sending
these names is to enable the school
authorities to become acquainted with
the candidates for citizenship and to
offer such inducements as they can that
will inspire every candidate for citi-
xenship to attend the public schools
unless he already has a mastery of the
English language. At the same time,
the bureau sends literature to the can
didate for citizenship to apprise him OF
the individual, personal, industrial, so
cial and moral advantages which will
accrue to him by an attendance upon
the public schools. 1t also describes
the location Of the various schools in
the large cities. SO that the alien can
most readily learn of them.
Some of the school authorities have
agreed to furnish descriptive matter
printed in various tongues for further
facilitating the foreigner in the selec-
ton of a school. Where the conditions
Justify 1t, school authorities have sig
niffed their willingness not only 20
open the night schools for foreigners,
but special day schools for the foreign
ers whose vocations require them to
work during the night. The bureau
expects to prevail upon many Of the
school authorities to open schools for
the education of the foreigners where
none have been established.

borax does not have any deleterious ef-
feet on the chemical composition or
manure. yet when added to the soil with
the manure 1t acts directly on plants
and large applications will cause con-
siderable injury. 1t Is important.
therefore, he states, that not more
than one pound of borax should be
applied to every sixteen cubic feet Of
manure. and that not more than fifteen
applied to the acre.
Experiments by the Department of
Agriculture with hellebore. borax and
other insecticides which are effective
against fly larvae and publication OF
the results in bulletins, farm journals

be gradually paving the way for such
a widespread and effective fight on the
fly that there is a possibility of the in =
sect eventually disappearing.
