BALKAN STATES WAR ATTITUDE
 YET UNSETTLED
Counter Proposals Made By Each Side Leave Position
 Yet Matter of Doubt.

London, Sept. 1-The Balkan sit uatfon is discussed at length in des- patches to the morning papers from Bucharest, Sofia and Athens. Although the correspondents generally are op- timistic emphasis Is placed on the difficulties which the diplomats of the quadruple entente powers are encoun- tering in their endeaVor to adjust the conflicting demands and disarm the mutual suspicions of the Balkan ma tions.
 As to the counter activity of the triple alliance, the Posts Sofia cores pondent reports that the Turks are preparing for the evacuation of terri tory ceded to Bulgaria by demohsh- ing forts on the right bank of the Ma ritza and by pulling down barracks at Karagatch.
 'The actual Bulgarian occupation of ceded territory. through which the Dedeaghatch railway runs," the cor respondent says, will follow soon, 1t is stated
 The Standards Athens representa- tive believes no definite developments in the Balkan situation can be expect ed in the immediate future.
 "The negotiations which must be concluded before any one of the Bal kan countries can intervene in the war are protracted and troublesome" he says, towing to the great o1IilculCy of harmonfzing the conflicting inter ests Serbia. is willing to go a, long way toward meeting Bulgarian re-. quirements but even here there seems still some obstacle to a complete agreement concerning the participa- ton of the Bulgarian army.
 f'AsAfor Greece, if there is to be 1n- tervention it will not come until Greek interests demand it and it's sole object will be to lay the foundations of greater Greece. which must include large portions of near-eastern terri tory. If the decision comes, how ever, Premier Venizelos will have the undivided support of the King. coun- try and army leaders, for he already has exacted the most fbinding as- surances to this effect.''
 The Bucharest corresp ondent of the Times emphasizes the necessity for better understanding between Ruma- mia and Bulgarian.
 '"The most imp portant thing" he de- clared, 3''is to establish relations of confidence between the two countries. There is evident identity of inter ests and Rumania avows her willing ness to. make required concessions, but no concrete arrangements have been concluded. If Rumania could be induced to make a definite offer to Bulgaria the effect on her sister country would be immediate"

Paris, Sept. 1.--A4phonse 4P9Soud,. the original loop the loop aviator, was killed yesterday. ek
 AIphonse Pegoud, who probably held more records for freak aeronautics than any other man, has frequently
 been mentioned since the war began for his daring work in the air. Last
 March he was awarded the military medal for his bravery and the value of his work.
 Pegoud was generally spoken of as | the original upside down hier. He had planned to come to this country to give exhibition flights in the summer 1 of 1914 before the war began, but was dissuaded, so his managers said, be- cause Orville Wright demanded too great a. cash bonus.
 Only a few days ago Pegoud re- turned to the French lines after flight of 1S6 miles in German territory with 97 bullet holes in the wings of his machine.
 Almost endIzss stories are told of the daring feats performed by Pegoud since the war began. At one time he caught sight of a German ammunition depot and dropped nine bombs on it. the explosion of the ammunition that his machine was all but wrecked and
 he regained his equilibrium only after performing more than exhibition aero DaIlCS. AC aIlOIh0E C1Ia6, having To- cated captive German balloon, he ascended to a great height behind the clouds and then literally fell out of the sky toward his target At a dis tance of only fifty yards he dropped a bonn b which struck the balloon souare- 1y. The vibration waves caused his aeroplane to bounce about as toy boat on, a rough pond. But .Pegoud still carried his good luck and, man aging to steady the craft, sailed away amid a hail of German bullets.
 He brought many German aviators to earth and made life for others so eventful that they were glad to with draw. stTirne and again he has pur- sued the enemy's' aeroplanes success fully said the French minister of war when he presented Pegoud with the Military Medal.

 The trail ran through the Eagle Mountains, over perilous paths on high ridges. When dawn broke the posse found it still held the trail which now led across a plain to Green River canyon, in the Lonesome Mountains.
 At the entrance to the canyon the posse found a campfire glowing and an advance guard was thrown out to search for the Mexicans. By o'clock the guard returned with news that the Mexicans were encamped in a box pursuit. Their horses were unsadd1ed and hobb1ed at some distance from the campfire.
 The posse advanced stealthi1y, dis mounted and climbed the rugged sides Of the mountain until they gained a ridge aroundsfhe canyon From this point a, volley was poured down on the Mexicans.

Here's Good News
 About The New Clothes Shop
Manager Beirne

-N1dudS0E D6lIuS When met an old friend of mine on Main Street the other day, and told him that the GoldE Clothes Shops, for Men, were going to open up one of their Chain-StOres here, about September 10th, at 1928 Main Street, opposite the Hotel StratfeId, seZ he to me:
 Well now, that sounds inter
 esting Tell me more about
 your new position and the.
 GoldE Shops proposition. ''Well,' sez |, ''the GoIdE Clothes Shops have built up an enviabIe business. Twenty-Five years ago they started in a little clothing fac tory in the heart of New York. By bending every effort to produce better and snappier clothes, they advanced in rapid strides. The little factory grew and grew un- til it has developed into the great GoldE organization of to-day. The GoldE Tailor-Plant, sun-Iit eight story building on the GoIdE Cor ner, Third at Wooster Streets, is the talk of the wholesale clothing trade wherever you go.
 Their unusual success is all due to the GOldEficient manufacturing meth Ods-unlimited buying power and ability to sell their clothes at rock bottom, small, wholesale profit. In opening a GoIdE Shop here, the folks of Bridgeport can share in the benefits created by the GOldE achievement. So now, instead of s'planAing down S2O-or-S25 at retailers, for your Suit or Over : coat, you can buy GoldE Clothes, at, always t$1O-or-S15. You save that "added-on'' retailers profit of $5-to-$1O for yourself.
 The entire output of the GoIdE Fac tory is sold, thru the GoldE Shops, Direct to the Man who Wears the Clothes. At the same time, the S1O-or-$15, you, the wearer pays, is the same price the retailer must pay for clothes like ours.
 ''Take it all in aII,' ,'' sez I, 'sthe Bridge port Men will find this new store very interesting. So don't forget sGoldemonstration Day." about September 10th. Drop in then.
