BALKAN STATES MUDDLED;
BOTH SIDES ARE WORRIED
Action OF Greece Torments Allies
While Expectation Of Rnmani.
an Action Affects Teutons.

London reports Wednesday: The
Balkan states continued to dominate
both the military and diplomatic Sit
uation in Europe. Rumania's atti-
tude apparently Is causing the central
mowers ereat uneasiness while
Greece's refusal to limit her military
effectiveness is OF equal concern to
the Entente.
Rumania is said to be only await
ing the presence In the Balkans OF
preponderant Entente military forces
before dispatching an uItimatum to
Austria, and German military critics.
according to dispatches reaching Lon-
don, express considerable dissatisfac-
tion with conditions in the Balkans,
predicting both military and diplo-
matte differences ahead despite the
brilliant Serbian campaign OF Field
Marshal Won Mackensen.
Moreover, it is reported that AUS.
tria is opposed to the possibility OF
BULGARIAN domination OF the Balkan
States, and II 10 suggested that de-
sire to forestall any friction IN this
connection was responsible for the
German smperor's recent visit to
Vienna.
Greece steadfastly refuses to con-
cede Entente demands for the un-e-
stricted use OF the Greek port OF
Saloniki, a. q base, and furthermore
declines to remove her army from
Macedonia.

PEACE PILGRIMS BARRED
FROM BELLlGERENT SOIL
Government Can Not Give Passports
-Warring Nations VIII Likely
Not Receive Them.

Several European nations, neutral
as well as bolligerent, have inquired
Of the United States concerning the
status Of the peace party to sail IN
vessels chartered by Henry Ford. To
each Secretary Lansing has replied
that the American government not
only has no connection with the e1-
pedition, but assumes no responsible
ty for any activities or negotiations
of those engaged In the movement.
The fact that M. Ford had con-
terred with President Wilson before
starting his movement to ED the
European war gave some arnbassa-
dors and ministers at Washington the
impression that the Washington gov
ernment might have some connection
with It.
It became known that since the
publication of the plans Of the party
the state department has been re-
ceiving inquiries, most OF them in
formally through embassies and lega-
tions. Secretary Lansing has explain
ed that the party would carry no Gre
dentials from the state department
and din OF differ from any other body
OF Americans travelling In Europe.
Applications for passports by mem
bers of the expedition have been sub
jected to the closest scrutiny have
been subjected to the closest scrut-
my, and passports have been granted
only for travel In neutral countries.
were issued Thursday.
In several instances passports we're
refused because OF Improperly pre-
pared applications or because the ap-
plicants were not Americans.
Rules OF the department prohibit
the issuance Of passports to persons
who desire to visit belligerent coun-
tries unless they state business Of an
absolutely necessary and urgent char
acter. Officials class the members
Of the party as tourists.
At the British embassy It was in
dicated that without passports IN
proper form no one would be permit
ted to land in Crest Britain from the
Ford ships.

Big POWDER EXPLOSION
CAUSES DEATH OF THIRTY
Dupont Powder Yard Experiences
Blow-up-Entire House Dis
appears With Wormen.

Thirty workmen were killed and
si1 fatally injured at Wilmington,
DEL, Tuesday when four tons Of black
powder exploded at the upper Hag-
ley yard of the Dupont Powder COM
pany. Nearly all the victims Of the
blast were young men between six
teen and twenty-one years OF age.
Most of them lived In and about Will
mington.
The explosion wss in q packing
house, where black powder pellets
are prepared for shipment to the
warning nations. The packing house
was one OF q large group OF small
buildings which make up the upper
Hagley plant, about three miles
northwest Of the city.
The blast rocked the Brandewine
Valley and shook and startled Will
mington. Workmen ran from every
building and shack IN the wide area
which the company's plant covers.
When the great column OF smoke
which rose from the spot where the
packing house stood, disappeared,
there was only a big hole IN the
ground. Twenty-six men were in the
house that disappeared. The others
killed and wounded were hit by fly
Ing debris.
The pellet packing house WAS q
one-story frame building, eighteen BY
twenty feet, and was divided into SIX
rooms. Nearby buildings were dam
aged. Company officials said the
property loss was small.
One theory advanced by vorkmen
is that the explosion may have origt-
mated in a spark from horses shoe
or from q spark caused by & small
car running over some spilled pow
der. A workman said that Just be-
fore the explosion . car In which
there were several thousand pounds
of black powder had been drawn by
two horses along q narrow-guaSe
track to the entrance Of the packing
house to be prepared for shipment.
The powder Is packed into boxes hold
Ing about fifty pounds each.
Some OF the powder. It was said,
may have spilled from the car. Either
a horses shoe or the wheel OF car
could have tgnited the explosive and
caused flash to reach the powder IN
the house.

ITALY TO AID SERBIA
London Says News Will Probably
Clarity Balkans.

Italy has announced her adhesion
to the treaty Of London, whereby the
Allies undertake not to conclude a
separate peace and also has declared
her intention Of sending help to the
Serbians. This news. It Is believed
in London, will go far to clear the
situation, especially in Greece. where
negotiations are still proceeding on
the Quadruple Entente's request that
Greece allow the Allies free use OF
her railways and the right to police
Greek waters against submarines.
Last advices indicate that the ne
gotiations are likely to end In com
plete satisfaction to the Entente pow
ers. The assurance that Italy, as
we'll as Great Britain, France ano
Russia. is to give military support tc
the Serbians IN their effort to regain
their lost territory. Ii ..kes the case
for Greek assistance stronger.
