ITALY PARTICIPATES
 IN COAST BLOCKADE
AUSTRO-GERMANS AND BULGAR IAN ARMIES CONTINUE TO
 CLAIM PROGRESS.

Paris.-An Italian squadron has left for the near east under sealed or ders, supposedly to participate in the blockade of the Bulgarian coast, ac cording to Brindisi dispatch receiv ed here. but which had been delayed in transmission.
 In the Balkans the AustroGermar and Bulgarian armies continue tt claim progress against the Servians. but, except in the north, where the Serbs are being forced back into the mountains, the various reports do not go far toward clarifying the situation
 The Bulgarians navy cut the rail way between Uskup and Nish. so il is likely that except in the extreme south, where they have the suppor, of the Anglo-French troops landed al Saloniki, the Serbs are falling bacL to stronger natural position. lstip anC Kotchana, it is said, have been evac uated.
 Italy, Vhich. singularly enough, is still technically at peacn with Ger many has declared war on Bulgaria and Russia is expected to follow hei example almost immediately WheI this formality is completed it is pos sible the action Italy and Russia in tend to take in the Balkans will be defined.
 The allies also have made new di plomatic move with respect to Greece the British and Russian ministers having delivered note to Athens cX plaining that the allies do not agree with the Greek governments interpre tation of the Greco-Servian treaty ano notifying Premier Zaimis of their in tention to land more troops at Saloni Xxi. It is not expected. however. that anything but allied success will have any influence with Greece, or, for that matter, with Roumania. Russia is trying for this in Galicia and Volhynia where Gen. Ivanoff has won several To cal victories and is keeping the Aus tro-Germans busy.
 Otherwise interest in the eastern front centers in the north, where the Germans continue to attack south oi Riga. and the Russians to the south and west of Dvinsk. Both sides claim gains.
 The Germans are being hamperec by British submarines in the Baltic for. besides sinking a large number of steamers engaged in the ore trade between Germany and Sweden, the submarines are interfering with trans ports between German ports and the Courland coast.
 Comparative quiet prevails in the west.

DOES NOT SEE ITS WAY CLEAR TO ACCEPT PROPOSALS TO
 ENTER PRESENT WAR.
WAITING FOR A VICTORY
Claimed in Official Circles That Both Roumana and Greece Are With holding Assistance Until Allies
 Win Decisive Victory.

London.-The Greek government has informed the quadruple entente powers that it does not see its way clear at present to accept the propos- als, including the oession of Cyprus and other concessions. offered in re turn for Greek military cooperation with Seryia.
 While Greece's refusal is definite so far as the present is concerned, Lon don commentators feel that material strengthening of the entente allie1 contingent at Saloniki would have l material influence on the attitude even of the Greek government Ob- servers here believe, too, that Greece cannot persist in her present ambigu- ous position and that Greek public opinion probably will exercise it's in- fiuence.
 reached the foreign office is lengthy and while it has not been made pub lie, there is reason to believe the Hell lenic kingdom bases it's decision on the ground that the Angio-Frencn force landed at Saloniki is not, in the Greek governments opinion. strong enough for the task allotted it.
 The refusal of the allies offer, was not unexpected as it has been stated often in official circles that both Rou- mania and Greece were withholding their assistance until the allies either won decisive victory o. proved to the Greeks and Roumanians their abil- ity to do so, or until the operations had reached stage which would as- sure them their countries would not be oyerrun by forces of the central powers or their Turkish and Balkan allies.
 There is no inclination here or in the capitals of the other members of the quadruple entente powers to mini mize the seriousness of the situation in Servia. The Austro-German and Bulgarian campaign is developing slowly. but the plans are now fairly clear The Austro-German center Is advancing down the Morava valley from Semendia, while the Bulgarians have got across this valley to the south and commando the Belgrade Nish-Saloniki railway. The Austro- Germans have three other forces en- gagged, one in the northwest near Sha- batz, one at Belgrade and the third, which has not yet crossed the Danube, about OrSova.

FEED CHILDREN On Properly Selected Food. 1t Pays Big Dividends.

If parents will give just a little in- telligent thought to the feeding of their children the difference in the health of the little folks will pay, many times over, for the small trouble.
 A mother writes: Our children are all so much better and stronger than they ever were before we made 8 change in the character of the food We have quit using potatoes three times a day with coffee and so much meat.
 Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh, stewe1, or canned, some Grape-Nuts with cream. occa- sionally some soft boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and sup per. Then for dinner they have some meat and vegetables.
 Tt would he hard 10 fully describe the change in the children, they have grown so sturdy and strong, and we attribute this change to the food ele- ments that. understand. exist in Grape-Nuts and Postuul.
