BRITAIN HOPEFUL
OF AID IN BALKANS

London, July 21.-The Daily News
points out a significant note in the
address of Premier Asquith in the
House of Commons Tuesday in request
ing an added vote of credit of $75o.00o.-
900. The prime minister's words sug-
gest a confidence as to the develop
ment of the future which cannot be
mistaken, the Daily News says. and
continues:
at would not be wise to inquire too
closely as to the nature of these de-
velopments but certain facts are be-
fore us which seem to have co'lec-
tive bearing on the future c,urse Of
events. The return Of former Premier
venizelos in Greece, though 1t has not
yet become effective in parliamentary
sense, has changed the direction Of
the wind in the Balkans, and the
strong action Of Roumania in stopping
the flow Of ammunitions from Ger
many to Turkey is most decisive evil
dence there has been so far Of the
movement Of opinion.
Not less important is the frank dec
Iaration Of vaseil Radoslavoff, prime
minister Of Bulgaria, OF the terms on
which his country is prepared to
throw it's lot with the allies. The dis
affection Of Bulgaria. throughout has
been the weak link in the Balkan
chain. Former Premier Venizelos, with
that large grasp Of problems of states
manship which he possesses, has been
prepared to make large sacrifices to
accomplish great ends. and we may
rest assured that his influence will be
at work to build up the breach in the
Balkans, which has been fatal to the
interests of all states and so advan-.
tageous to the enemy.
THE concessions of Macedonia.
which Bulgaria demands, is a large
draft to make on Serbia, but Serbia
would have abundant recompense in
the reunion Of the Serbian race, which
the ultimate absorption Of Bosnia ami
Dalmatia would involve"

GERMANS TEST NEW FOODS
Produce Mixture Said to Be Equiv
alent to Square Meal

Berlin (Via Rotterdam). July 21.
-Schoeneberg, near Berlin. is expert
menting with new foodstuffs intended
for the poorer classes. The foods con-
sist of a mixture Of corn, dried veg
etables, dried fish and meat extracts.
The new product contains nutritive
qualities equal to square meal. The
experiments are being carried on by
the municipal commission for the
feeding Of poor school children.
Other German cities, following Ber-
Inns example, attach great import
ance to the new food product. AS all
the component parts Of the new food
are derived from imports from for
eign countries, the home productions
are in no way drawn on or depleted.

the pursuit of the enemy continues.
The German landwehr. northeast Of
Zwolen, broke through an advanced
position of the bridgehead Of Ivan
gorod. For the adjoining position, the
fighting continues.
Fighting again broke out in East
Galicia near Sokol.
"On the Dniester, the situation is
unchanged.
Italian theater: In the Gorilla re-
gion the Italians yesterday continued
their general attack on the border pla-
teau of Doberdo and the bridgehead
at Goizia The battle ragged all day
In the evening the enemy succeeded In
taking Monte San Michele. east OF
Siraussina. This morning Major Cen
eral Boog re-conquered this height
with troops which had hitherto been
in reserve.
Southeast of Sdraussina, our troops
maintain their positions with great
stubbcrnncss. A flank attack executed
from n height east Of Sasrado was re-
pulsed, the Italians taking to flight
after suffering great losses.
"Since, our troops have also firmly
held the southwest edge of the plateau
and have repulsed at the bridgehead at
Gorilla all hostile attacks. The Italian
effort. which was carried out with enor-
nous sacrifices, was again unproductive
of result.
ION the remainder of the coastal from.
there is comparative quiet. On the Co
rinthian frontier nothing of importance
has occurred. East of Schluderbach three
enemy battalions attacked Montepiano,
but were repulsed and fled, losing about
two-thirds of their electives

BELL AND WRIGHT SURE
TO BE ON NAVY BOARD

Washington, July 21.-It became known
tuesday that Alexander Graham Bell.
orville Wright and others who have dis
&tnguished themselves in various fields of

the naval advisory board of inventions
and development if they should fail of
nomination by the scientific bodies which
Secretary Daniels has invited to pick

result of a suggestion that if he adhered

Mr. Daniels made it plain that Yhe
advisory board would in any event in
clude such men as Mr.. Bell and Mr..

the advisory board will be a much

PRESENT LEGAL STATUS
THAW CASE IN n. Y.

New York, July 21.-Harry K. Thaw
at the present time is sane all over"
geographically speaking, it was said at
attorney generals offices at 299 Broad
way Tuesday, when an opinion was re-
quested concerning Thaw's present le-
gal status.
las matters new stand" Deputy At
torney General Edgar A. Bromherger
said. ''Thaw has the privilege, for in
stance. Of starting a suit for divorce
from Evelyn Nesbit in Pittsburg."
us he at liberty to come back here
and sue for divorce in New York
state?"
Il suppose So" answered Mr.. Brom-
What procedure is necessary here"
order to have Thaw placed in the same
legal position in which John Armstrong
Chaloner stands-insane in this state
and sane outside OF New York;
The only way that could be
brought about" Mr.. Bromberger an
swered. would be an appellate court
reversal Of Justice Hendricks recent
decision declaring Thaw sane In 9TH
er words. if the appeal which the at.
torney general has taken is sustained
by the higher court, then Thaw will
be legally insane in New York state
There is no other way of having him
declared legally insane in this state"
When asked what hopes the state
had Of bringing about a reversal of
the recent decision which freed Thaw,
no comment could be obtained from
Mr.. Bromberger. Questions concern
ing the probability Of success by the
state or the amount of serious en-
deavor the state will make to press
the attorney generals appeal must
said Mr.. Bromberger. be put to the
attorney general in person at Albany
From other sources, however, it was
learned that the attorney general is ex-
pected to make an exceptionally close
scrutiny of the reams of Thaw hearing
records for possible errors before he will
feel warranted to authorize the expendi-
ture necessary for the printing of the
records and brief and the other expenses
incident to pressing the appeal.
So far it has been impossible to find
any feeling of confidence among those
most concerned that the state will ever
be able to have Thaw again declared in
sane in New York state. There is little
trouble at all, on the other hand, of find
ing state officials who, although they may
not say it in so many words. give the
impression strongly that with the excep-
ton of some formalities, the Thaw case
is at an end so far as New York state is
concerned.

PICTURESQUE PARK FOR CALL
FORNIA RESORT

Along the cliffs facing the Pacific
Ocean at Ocean Beach, Cal, one of
the most picturesque parks in the
country is now being developed" says
the August Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine, in an illustrated article 1.-THE
work is being done by Japanese and
the park is to be Japanese in style.
The sandstone cliffs stand from 20 to
40 feet above the ocean and have been
worn into fantastic shapes by the con-
tinual pounding of the waves. This
feature is taken full advantage of in
the development of the park. Some
of the miniature canons cut back into
the cliff are spanned by arched wooden
bridges of novel type for this coun-
try, but common in Japan. All beams
and posts for the bridges, as well as
the posts for the fences, are first char
red. The charred parts are then
scraped off until a surface mottled
with brown and black is exposed. This
process not only results in beautiful
colorings, but brings out the grain of
the wood. The bridges and the
grounds generally are lighted at night
by lamps set on lamp posts made of
trees of odd shapes, the lamps having
conical covers made of bark and sup
ported on the cutoff branches of the
trees. The sunshades scattered about
the grounds are also made from trees
in which the branches have been cut
off at just the right height to support
the umbrellalike shades"
