BALKAN STATES ARE
NEARER WAR ENTRY

London, Aug. 25.--The Balkan
states are unquestionably nearer
a determination Of their future re-
lations with the warning powers,
but so far no definite step has
been taken in the direction OF
revival of the Balkan league and
its adhesion to the cause OF the
entente powers. There was no
confirmation here OF the various
rumors which excited London yes
terday, chief of which reports was
that Bulgaria had declared war on
Turkey and would assist in the
attempt to force the Dardanelles.
The situation brought about by
the sinking of the Arabic is still
eliciting comment by the British
press, which characterizes the un-
official German explanations as in
adequate but interpret the efforts
to explain the disaster as evidence
OF Germans realization that her
relations with the United States
have reached a serious phase.
The furious efforts of the Aus
tro-German armies along the east
ern front in the past "a hours
have been less fruitful than usual
in respect to ground gained, which
is taken to mean that they now
have reached the dread swamp re-
gion. The German press, recogniz-
ing the difficulties, points out that
the armies of the central powers
face serious obstacles in the inn
mense and roadless swamps. while
the Hungarian papers describe the
tactical position of the Russians
in this region as extremely favor
able.
From the other fronts there
have been reported no actions Wis
IDLY changing the respective posi-
tions of the combatants.

N. Y. CONDENSATION Law SUCCESS
State Insurance Proves Much More Sat.
isfactory than Private Companies.

The reason for hostility of insurance
companies to the present New York
state compensation law is shown IN the
first report of the compensation commits
sion, which has just been submitted to
the legislature.
The rates in che state fund in July
last were 6H per cent less than the rates
made by stock companies, and on Janu-
ary were further reduced, 50 that they
ance companies' rates. In addition to
this 1essened premium rate, dividends
have been allowed to policy holders on
the first six months experience, ranging
from l6 per cent to 80 per cent according
to the experience in the several groups
The expense Of the administration Of
the state fund has thus far been paid by
the state, but this experiences indicates
that the fund may be made self-sustain-
ing after July !, 1915.
