PRACTICAL SALOON SUBSTITUTE.

The Illinois Steel company started a campaign against drinking among their employees in their South Chi cago mills a short time ago. The sa- loonkeepers, by the way of retaliation, established elaborate free lunches and advertised the fact. They posted signs which told of the bad effects cold lunches have on digestive organs Over the doorways of saloons pictures of large steaming bowls of soup were painted. One sign read: Don't come in to drink come in to eat
 The steel company came back with the establishment of a restaurant in the plant with the following menu:

CRIME INVESTIGATION.

MT. Fletcher Dobyns of Chicago says in a published statement that his investigations as attorney for the city council crime commission have influenced him to go out and fight the saloon as the greatest source of crime in Chicago. He asserts that almost all crimes are committed by abnormal persons, and that in tracing the source of these abnormalities he has found it to be, in large majority of cases, the liquor evil.
 Before l started my Investigations in regard to crime" says Mir Dobyns,
 I was not total abstainer or an advocate of closing the saloons. But now I believe that alcoholic drinks do more than anything else toward creat- ing the abnormal person. We must face the liquor problem. I say it not as a prohibitionist, but as a student of crime"

BULGARIA IS EXPECTED
 TO JOIN ENTENTE
Belief is Current in London That Bulgaria will Side with the Germans. Interest is Strong.
 British are Resting on Arms.

London, Oct. 1.-The belief that Bulgaria has taken sides with the cen tral powers and Turkey and that the Anglo French and Russian troops will assist the friends of the entente allies while it momentarily has diverted the attention of the diplomats, has not dampened the interest of the public in the situation in the eastern and west ern theaters of war. The offensive of the allies in the west and the determi- nation with which the Russians are opposing the Austro-German advance are the absorbing topics. The news from the two fronts is considered here as the best for many months. The French and British forces apparently have made no further progress except in the region of Neuville, in Artois, but on the other hand they have been successful in repulsing the German counter attack and so far as is known have held virtually all the ground gained In the east the Russians ap- peared to be making a much better effort to hold their positions, for eX- cept just in front of Dvinsk and in Volhynia the Germans claim to have made no progress, while between these points and in Galicia, according to a Berlin official report, all the attacking was done by the Russians. Indeed the Russian troops by countering the attack which Field Marshall Von Hin denberg launched at Minsk from the northwest, have succeeded pretty well in strengthening out their line from north to south. Italy also is showing signs of renewed activity and has commenced an offensive along the Is onzo river, particularly against the important Austrian position of Tol- mino. Nothing has been heard of the much talked of Austro-German offen- sive against Serbia or the operations on the Gallipoli peninsula.
