TURKS CEDED RAILWAY
ON BULGARIA'S PROTEST
Believed Ten Year Grant Was
Confirmed After Ottoman
Supplies Were Held Up.

London, July 26.-The reported ces-
sion by Turkey to Bulgaria of the
Turkish portion of the Dedeaghatch
Railway has caused considerable dis
cusson in England, but the Bulgarian
Legation at London insists that it has
no confirmation of such an arrange
ment. 1t is stated in circles protesting
to understand the situation that it
would have no effect on Bulgaria's neu-
tralty, although this, Of course, is de-
batable.
By treaty signed at Constantinople.
Turkey granted Bulgaria the free use
Of the line for ten years. This prIvl-
lege, it is contended, has been frequent
ly revoked of late, Turkey repeatedly
stopping freight traffic. Bulgaria pro-
tested against this, and finally fort
night ago forbade the movement of
Turkish consignments across her bor-
der. To remedy this situation appears
to be the immediate object of Turkeys
present move.

yesterday on the lower Isonzo,
after the usual highly effective artillery
preparation, our infantry advanced
resolutely and succeeded in making
progress.
"On the left of the western wing we
conquered a large extent of wooded
ground, called by us Bosco del Cap

In the centre we carried several
lines of trenches serving a. defeAcos
for the ridges of San MARITIME di Carso.
"On the right wing Monte del Busti
was won and lost several times, the
greater part of it finally remaining in
our possession.
THE struggle everywhere was char
acterized by the greatest determine
ton, notably in the wood, from which
the enemy. strongly entrenched, had to
be driven at the point of the bayonet.
The enemy employed against us
asphyxiating bombs and grenades, our
soldiers protecting themselves with
masks. At the end of tho day sixteen
hundred prisoners. thirty of whom
were officers, remained in our hands"

CALL AIR GRATING
CAVE MAN DEVICE
Opponents of Subway Ventila
tors Warn Commission Suits
May Be Brought.

Subway ventilation schemes were
aired again yesterday at a meeting held
in the rooms of the Public Service
Commission. Former Public Service
Commissioner William +. Wilcox and
Edmund +. Wise appeared for the
Broadway Association to reiterate the
objections already made to the grating
ventilators.
Mr.. Wilcox declared that the pres
ent method of ventilation was handed
down from the days when the care
dwellers dug the first subways, and
showed virtually no improvement. Sew
eral lawyers submitted briefs attacking
the present system.
Trolley slots could be utilized to fur
nish continuous ventilation, sug-
gested Z. P Goodrich, consulting engi-
neer to the Borough President. Another
suggestion was for air compression
PLANTS along the river front and the
pumping of the cooled air into the
tunnels. Speaking of gratings in the
new subway, Mr.. Wilcox said:
81 declare my belief that the rights
of property owners may be so inter
fered with by the proposed scheme for
ventilation that they will have just
cause for damage suits against the
city"
1t was said that if the present sys-
TEN was followed in the new subway
injunctions would be sought. No de-
cision was reached.
On the board appointed to consider
subway ventilation are William Bar

Violated Treaty of
Lausanne.
DARDANELLES MOVE
AGAIN IN FAVOR
Germany Plans Press Campaign
Against ROme-Sees Effect
in Balkans.
By GORDON GORDON.SMITH.

Milan, July 26.-Since the visit of
General Porro, assistant chief of the
Italian staff, to Paris a change is Wis
ble in the attitude of Italy toward the
war with Turkey and Germany.
Some time ago, when the government
organs, the "Messagero" and the
"Giornale d'Italia," advocated the par
ticipation of Italy in the Dardanelles
expedition they evidently received a
broad mint from the government that
this was undesirable and the campaign
stopped at once. When the "Popolo
d'Italia" later took up the question
the article was suppressed by the CEN
sor. These orders have evidently been
rescinded. as that journal yesterday
demanded war with Turkey, and the
article was allowed to appear.
1t is further pointed out that hence
forth it will be idle to keep up the
fiction that Italy is not at war with
Germany, as it has been proved that
German troops are taking part in the
operations against Italy.
A violent campaign against Italy will
soon begin in the German press. The
"Muenchener Neueste Nachrichten" de-
clares that systematic campaign has
been begun by Italy against Turkey on
the same lines as those which culmi-
mated in war with Austria.
The "Kreuz-Zeitung" accuses the
Italian government of preparing public
opinion for the extension of the war to
Turkey. The German press expects the
intervention Of Italy will have an eff
feet on the nesitating Balkan states.
Because of the important military
movements now going on in Germany
which might be revealed by newspaper
reports, no German papers have been
allowed to cross the frontier IN the
last twenty-four hours.
The Turkish Consul at Geneva gives
official denial that the journey of the
Turkish Minister of Justice to Swltzer-
land has anything TO do with peace
negotiations Turkey, he says. will not
sign a separate peace.

Austrians and Italians
Halt Fight to Bury Dead
IBr Gable TO The Tribune

Rome, July 26 dispatch to London
Daily Chronicle"). THE stirring days
of the battle on the Isonzo front have
been followed by comparative mac
tivitv. Both sides seem tacitily to
have declared a truce in order to bury
their dead and TO rest their troops,
who. during the intense heat have &C.
complshed such stupendous feats of
arms.
one thing along the whole front
worthy of special note to-day is raid
carried out by aeroplanes. Starting
from their Italian base, they flew over
Riva at the head Of Lake Garda, drop
ping bombs on the railway station with
excellent results. The Austrian artll-
lery opened fire on the machines, but
failed to hit any of them.
The Austrians, who seem to be con-
siderably exhausted after more than a
week Of severe lighting, made feeble
attempts yesterday to arrest the on
ward march of the Italians in the vi
cinitv of Monte Nero, but Count Ca
dorna, the Italian commandments,
reports these were repulsed with loss.
In the Carso zone the Austrians are
now content to remain on the defensive,
having paid heavily in lives for their
attempts against Cadorna's army.

Holding of Convention.
From The Tribune Bureau ]

Washington, July 26.-Official an
nouncement was made at the State De-
partment to-day that President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing had formulated
a definite plan for putting an end TO
the anarchy in Mexico, as told in The
Tribune this morning. The details will
be made public within the next ten
days.
Intervention, it was learned, is not
under consideration and will not be
resorted to unless Americans or for
eigners are attacked. Nothing indi-
Gates that the government is consld-
ering recognizing any of the existing
factions, and the general belief Is that
an embargo on arms preparatory to the
establishment of a government Of non
factionists is contemplated.
It is known that the government
looks with some favor on certain ex-
lied Mexicans, who have never been
closely associated with any of the
revolutionary or reactionary groups,
and it has been suggested that under
an embargo it might be feasible to en-
courage these Strong men" to return.
At nresent there is a price on their
heads. and they would not be safe IN
Inc territory controlled by the revolu-
tionists.
General Iturbide has been frequently
mentioned as a possible choice Tor the

Mexico City. July H. Conditions in

merchants refuse to take paper money.
General Gonzales's decree multiplying
the S50,0OO,O0O issue in circulation

followed by an issue of new money.
Yesterday mobs of women paraded the
streets looting bakeries, markets and
pastry shops until they were dispersed
by streams of water from fire hose.
General Nillela and seven other
Zapata officers were executed yester-
day on charges of rebellion. Governor
Herrera. his staff and several other
officers are awaiting court martial on
the same charges.
