Of five years and a fine Of 5000 for

Old Resident Of Central Park Zoo
Who Hated Policemen,
Was Thirty.

Badly" a Java baboon. and. save
for MRS. Murphy" the hippo. and
Smiles" the rhino. the Oldest rssi-
dent in the Central Park Zoo. was
found dead to-day in his one-r room
apartment. his face to the wall.
For eighteen years he had amused
children and grown-ups with his
prani<s on trapexe and flying rings.
At the good old age Of thirty he laid
himself down to die.
But his years Of usefulness are not
yet at an end. His rough exterior
will be taken to the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History and there set
up as an example to all other monkeys
as to what they may achieve II they
behave themselves.
"Baldy" was twelve years old when
he came to these shores, an immi-
grant from Java. He was not very
good tempered, but as time went ON
he became NOR or less contented.
He became Americanized In every.
thing save a hearty hatred OF police
men. Their appearance at his cass
sufficed to put him into a rage.
Five years ago "Baidy' began Il
lose his teeth. and from that time had
to be fed from a bottle by Keeper
Reilly. "Baldy" was quite himself
yesterday and amused a great crowd
all day. Reilly said he died of old
age.

BULGARIA NOW MARKS TINE
With ARMY READY TO FIGHT
Serbia Reports 100000 German
Troops are Available for
Drive to Turkey.

While Bulgaria is marking time
and mobilizing her military forces
word comes from Nish, the Serviar
capital, that eight hundred thousand
German troops, according to the most
authoritative estimates there, are
available for the forcing Of a passage
through Scrvia.
AS yet no general movement in this
direction has been undertaken, al
though preliminaries by the Germans
are under way. Having crossed the
Servian territory the Germans would
have to advance through Bulgaria
before they could bring aid to the
Turks in Gallipoli and at Constanti-
nople. Bulgaria's future attitude may
depend on what action Germany
takes with respect to Servia, or Ger
many may be awaiting the completion
of the Bulgarian mobilization.
The Bulgarian Legation ct London
has pointed out that both Roumania
and Greece have been modified for
a considerable time and intimates
that Bulgaria has right to do like
wise without, causing astonishment,
but has offered no explanation, of his
governments action at the present
time. The efforts of the Entente
powers, however, are being directed
vigorously towards bringing about re-
union of all the Balkan States, %.

BIG LOAN ASSURED:

The success OF. the Anglo-French

Britain and France, was virtually as
sured in the opinion Wednesday of
American fnanciers in close touch
with the situation.
Wall Street expected an announce
ment that an agreement had been
reached within forty-eight hours.
The, optin1istic-view~ of~-the situa-
ton entertained by many of"the bank
ers who have been conferring with
the commission during it's twelve-day
stay in New York was not dimmed by
the report that two details were yet
to be agreed on. These, it was re-
ported, we're not regarded as OF
prime Importance, and an agreement
was expected shortly. AS outlined by
American bankers. the proposed cred
it loan will be for approximately
seven hundred midllion dollars.

HARDING LOOKS FOR COTTON

Member of Federal Reserve Board

W. P. G. Harding. member of the

delivered at the annual banquet ol
the Raleigh. y. c.. chamber OF com
merce Thursday night, declared thai
lit is no longer secret that there Is
a broad foreign demand. for cotton.
Estimates now range from ten million
to twelve million bales, and a price
of twelve cents looks lees improbable
than ten cents did month ago.
For the first time the crop move

"Thc nations now at war have cul-
tivated the tree of hatred for gen.
eration,'' he said. telling of the pres
ent expenses of the army and navy
departments of this country. He
spoke of the additional appropria-
tions which are being asked for "and
all for preparedness
'"Not a nation in the world desires
to attack u.s. he declared positively.
"Why then should we get alternate
scares in getting ourselves in a state
of preparedness? 1t is pure folly.
This is no time to change our GUS
toms. We can not afford to change,
for every day it takes less to get
ahead of them"
Mr.. Bryan then took up the third
grand division of his lecture-the
road to permanent peace. He point
ed out the futility OF 'annihilation
as an end to the war: mo nation
which aspires to physical supremacy
will be immortal he declared.
Mr. Bryan said that the United
States now had 80 arbitration trea-
ties with as many countries. Il have
such faith in these treaties as to be-
lieve they will preserve the peace of
our nation with honor he said.
"and that the name of Woodrow
Wilson and my own nanc will be
heard in great capitals for many
years" He claimed that the trecties
do not make war impossible, but that
they give - months to consider the
causes which must be placed before
an international commission.
eff we ever have to go to war I
hope the people, and especially the
women, will vote on the.~auestlon,
he said. "In fact, I have conie-to the
point where want women to vote on
all questions. but on war, in any case.
eff. however, we must have war
would rather have it after this war,
so that our start and our desire to
end will be accomplished by our
selves. God forbid our tying our
course to the ambition of any nation
of Europe."
In concluding his argument for
| permanent peace Mr.. Bryan stated
three objections to the United States
entering the European war. The
first is the financial loss: the second
is the loss of human lives which, he
argued. would be sacrificed on. the
altar of retaliation, or the maxim
"like cures like" He laid specia.
stress, however. on the f:.ct that D!
becoming a belligerent the United
States would lose its neutrality enc
DESTROY the trust of friendship which
other nations held for America
"some nation must lift them out ot
the miro. and I crave that honor fol
tbe United States, whereby we vii

BULGAR ARMY 100000
Armies of Rumania and Greece Would
Furnish About 1 100000.

The victories of arms of the Cen
trail Empires in Russia and the pro
longed campaign of the Entente pow
ers at the Dardanelles have evidently
encouraged the Sofia government tt
proclaim a war zone over that part oi
Macedonia owned by Serbia anc
Greece since the treaty of Bucharest
of 1913, so that should the Teutonit
armies reach Nish in their assault on
Serbia. they would, with Bulgaria s
consent, have the use of the Orient
railway, which runs from Nish tc
Constantinople, to bring reinforce,
ments of munitions, and perhaps OF
men, to the Turks.
But even Bulgaria's mobilization
of Serbian Macedonia is an unfriendly
act toward Serbia, while, according
to the Serbo-Grecian treaty, Greece is
obliged to intervene the moment Ser
bia is attacked by another Balkan
State.
Rumania, too, would be automati-
cally drawn into the struggle, for,
with her people fully in sympathy
with The cause of the Entente powers,
she has hitherto maintained an armed
neutrality, hoping with the Entente
powers that the concessions in Mace
donia which Serbia and Greece were
disposed to make to Bulgaria would
be a sufficient inducement for the
latter to continue her neutrality and
even give pledges to the Entente pow
ers to that effect.
Added to the moral effect of the
Teutonic victories in Russia has been
the practical effect on the Bulgarian
government of the Turkish conces-
sion, engineered by German agents,
of land on the right bank Of the
Moritza, which would enable the
Dedeaghatch railway to run entirely
on Bulgarian territory. This conces-
sion was made on July %.
It is understood that, although the
Bulgarian government sees its best
interests served by getting up an
armed neutrality with Teutonic SYM
pathies, possibly to be followed by
intervention, the Bulgars themselves
are not unanimously. Of this opinion,
and ministers of state have not hesi-
tated to warn King Ferdinand of rev.
olution.
Bulgaria's action in mobilizing fol-
lows upon demand made by the En-
tente powers on Saturday last that
she declare herself one way or the
other. II she intervenes on the side
of the Central Empires, Bulgaria can
make little use of her famous field
artillery which won her so many vic
tories over the Turks in the first Bal
kan war, for the guns are French
and require the ammunition manu-
featured by the Schneiders at LIE
Creusot.
Bulgaria's fighting machine is
made up as follows:
Service universal and compulsory
from 20 to As. --.-- -
Fhirty-six regiments OF
two battalions, or eight companies
each.
Artillery-Nine regiments of two
divisions, or fourteen guns, each;
twelve mountain batteries, and three
battalions of fortress artillery, re.
spectively, of forty-eight and twelve
guns.
Cavalry-Nine line regiments OF
thirty-seven 'squadrons. .-
Miscellaneous Three battalions OF
pioneers. one railway battalion, one
pontoon battalion, and one telegraph
battalion.
