on the Bulgarian government as a
whole.
Both camps have now made more or
less concrete propositions to Bulgaria.
Germany, Austria and Turkey have
told her that If she will remain neut-
raj till the end of the war they will
give her all of Serbian Macedonia,
which after all Is the one thing Bull
garia most desires. This offer pre-
sumes a final victory for Germany in
which event Serbia would become an
Austrian province and would have
nothing to say as to the disposition
of her territory. Minor inducements
also have been included in the Ger
man offer.
The allies on their part in exchange
for Bulgaria's participation in the war
and her capture OF Constantinople
from the rear have offered:
/. The bulk of what remains of
the Turkish empire in Europe includ-
ing the city Of Adrianople which the
Bulgarians captured in the first Balk-
an war but lost in the second.
2. Portions of Serbian Macedonia
which Serbia, 1t Is hoped, at the re.
quest of the allies will cede.
3. The best efforts Of the allies to
secure from Greece and Roumania the
cession of those territories which were
taken from Bulgaria at the close of
the second Balkan war.
In response to these offers Bulgaria
has frankly admitted she is in the
market not necessarily to the higher
bidder but to the one who will give
her the most solid guarantees that the
promises made will be carried out;
or rather, she demands, that in as far
as possible, her compensation be Civ.
en- her In advance In order that there
be no short change operations after
the war such as she alleges were per.
petrated at the close of the Balkan
wars. She has expressed her readI.
ness TO treat with both sides and it is
this open, receptive attitude that has
resulted in the massing here OF the
great lobby.

TWIN FALLS COUPLE
MARRIED IN ELKO
Romance in Real Life From the Di.
Vorce Court to the Marriage Altar
All In TWO Weeks

A tinge of romance was added to
the humdrum life of the county clerk s
Office yesterday evening. Clerk Rob-
ert Hunter early in the evening re-
ceived a request by telephone to have
marriage license sent up to Wells
for couple from Idaho.
Mr.. Hunter while always willing to
oblige those who have fallen victims
to Cupid's darts, could not accommo.
date these Idaho lovers over a long
distance phone. He informed the
groom that he would have to appear
in person.
Then followed a few brief business
instructions and Judge Castle was en-
gagged to tie the nuptial knot.
The groom gave his name as James
E. Boyd and his age at 2s. The bride
was Annie l.. Bates and admitted to
the legal license age. She was dl-
vorced in the Twin Falls court on the
14th of this month. Hence the trip
into Nevada for another try at the
matrimonial game. One so comely
as Mrs. Boyd did not have to wait
long.
The bridegroom informed the par
ties in waiting ct the courthouse that
he had to be back at his home in Ida
no by six O'Clock this morning. He

terminus of lhe Twin Falls railroad
out % miles south from the Falls.
And the appearance of the happy
pair gave every evidence that they had
come in a great hurry. The chau-
feur of their machine had struck one
of the very few chuck holes found
along Nevada roads and had bounced
his precious freight up against the
top of the car. This encounter had
skinned the lady's nose but in no way
had marred her beauty.
The wedding took place at $3.50 last
evening in the county clerks office.
Judge Castle was at his best in read.
Ing the solemn ceremony. The wit
nesses were Chas. NJ. Moody and Rob-
ert H. Hunter.
The blissful pair were sent on their
way rejoicing for a record.breaking

WOOD WRITES ABOUT
BALKAN SITUATION
BY HENRY WOOD

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
SOPHIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 2. (By
maiD-From the spick and span, but
none the less modest little Balkan cap
ital, Sophia, has become the center
OF the worlds greatest lobby, and the
lobby for the greatest thing in the
world-victory in the present war
BY the vicissitudes of the present
great European conflict and their pc
culiar geographical position Bulgaria
has come more than any one other
to hold an influence over the future
destinies of all Europe.
Were Bulgaria suddenly to join the
allies, and falling on the back of Tur-
key capture Constantinople from the
rear, the allies could at last pass the
Dardanelles and carry to Russia the
help in supplies and munitions that
might quickly turn the whole current
Of the war in their favor.
If Bulgaria continues neutral, the
possibility of the capture of Constan-
tinople from the Chatalja line is re-
moved and the eventual pasasge of the
Dardanelles II not rendered impos-
sible will he so indefinitely delayed
as to enabln Germany in the mean
time to follow I'M her successes
against Russia and turn the whole cur
rent Of the war in her favor.
This, at least, is the way the great
European powers now involved in the
conflict view the situation and that is
why the lobby Is here.
In Europe they do not call II lobby
ing. It passes under the more polite
term of diplomacy. In reality, how
ever, there is not a method nor a
tactic known to the most common or
the most distinguished lobbyist at
Washington or any American state
capitol that is not being used TO win
over the various members Of the Bull
arlan cabinet, the members OF parlla-
ment, the political leaders, the heads
of the army and even Gear Ferdinand,
the queen and the crown prince them
selves. II may be that diplomacy and
lobbying are merely the European and
the American terms for the one and
the same thing or 1t may be that the
Issue at stake is SO great that the ex.
alted and dignified diplomacy of Eu-
rope has been reduced to the methods
and practices of the vulgarest and
most common Of American lobbyists.
The lobby Is naturally divided into
two great camps, that OF Germany,
Austria and Turkey. and that of
France, England, Russia, Italy and
Serbia. To the regularly accredited
diplomatic representatives of these
countries there has been added a
whole army of special diplomatic and
other agents, every one of whom has
been selected with an eye TO his
special qualifications either for win.
ming over some special individual or
for welding some especial influence

Wallace was in great form. taking the
lead from the start and never relinquish-

championship playing throughout. He Sc
cured good positions, and with few
exceptions was In no tight places
Breslin had some bad luck at the begin

show his skill until the game was more
than half through. He then picked up
wonderfully and played an excellent
game. The young player, who has never
appeared in a tournament before was
simply showed under by the terrible pace
set by his opponent.

Loomis Beat in
MiIIrose Games
Chicago Athletic Association
Sprinter Defeated After
Qualifying in Seven and
Three-hfth Seconds.
LARGE CROWD PRESENT

New York, Jan. 1.-THE annual
carnival of the Millrose A. A. took
place at the Madison Square Garden
tonight and from the number of spec
tators present the affair was the most
successful held inside the old building
this winter. Evidently the main at
traction Of the night was the appear
ance of A ]. G. Loomis, of the Chicago
A. A, in the 7O-yard dash handicap.
He dgured on the scratch mark and
was giving away a lot of ground to
the local wonders, such as they are.
1t was the initial appearance of
Loomis in this locality and conse-
quently every one wanted to get a
good, square look at the curiosity.
The girls liked him because of his
blond hair. He is possessed of a tre-
mendous length of legs and is built
on mucn the same plan as Jack Don
aldson, the famous foreign profess
sional, who holds a number of the
worlds professional records.
However, Loomis' length of limb did
not avail! him much for he seemed to
bound too high on the board floor
After winning his trial heat in Z 2-5
seconds, which is a fifth of a second
slower than the worlds record, the
Chicago man failed to qualify in the
second round. Loomis is the national
1OO-yard sprinter, the low hurdle
champion and holds a similar title tor
the running high jump. He tried the
high jump tonight and flew over the
crossbar with the elasticity of a
spring box.
Loomis won the jump with a mark
of six feet and one inch. r. A. Rod
riquez was second with five feet
eleven inches and H. Ludke, five feet
ten inches was third.
