Berlin. The following statement
has been given out:
Official reports from Sofia and
Constantinople state that Turkey and
Bulgaria have signed a new treaty.
Turkey granting Bulgaria her desired
direct railroad connection with the
sea, and Bulgaria agreeing to observe
. benevolent neutrality"
This demonstrates the definite fail
ure Of the efforts of the entente
powers to revive alliance of the Bal
kan states and induce them to Join
In the wal against Turkey.
Unofficial reports late in July stat
ed that a convention had been signed
on July %, by which Turkey ceded
to Bulgaria the Turkish portion.of the
Dedeaghatch Railway. The reports
stated that the treaty left Bulgaria
unpledged.
That Bulgaria had not been pledged
to any course Is regards the war has
been the assumption under which ne
gotfatiOns have been conducted by the
allies. Several unofficial reports con-
corning Bulgaria's diplomatic actfvi-
ties appeared to confirm this view.

Newport, Ark.-The White river
food has receded more than two feet
since the crest Of the rise passed the
city Aug. rs. and now part Of the side
walks of the city are free from water.
The levee on the south side of the
city was dynamited Aug. 25, letting
the water that was held in the city by
this dump pass out, and this lowered
the water in the town several inches.
Relief trains are able to reach the
city and food a be secured, but
funds are lacking with which to pur
chase food and tents to the homeless,
many of whom will not be able to re-
turn to their homes for several days.
No deaths have been reported In the
city from drowning or otherwise as a
result of the high water, but the prop
erty loss and destitute condition of
the homeless refugees passes belief
and cannot well be exaggerated. The
estimated property loss Of s., 0OO, 900
to $4,000, 900 cannot be verified until
the waters recede, but it is thought
the sum is not overestimated.
City officials state that the great
est need for the food sufferers right
now is tents and fresh vegetables, -four
and meat, all Of which can be pro-
cured with funds, which are urgently
needed. Little Rock, Batesville and
Brinkley have come to the assistance

uty exalted ruler, Of a cash donation

the Anzac positions.
The New Zealanders, including the
Maorie, using bayonets only, drove
the Turks before them throughout the
night Of Aug. 6 through difcult ra-
vines, where Turkish snipers were
numerous. The death toll of the in
vaders was severe.
"The struggle" says the cores
pondent, continued on Aug. Z. Much
ground was gained. but the advance
was ultimately held by the Turks
rifles and machine guns. The fighting
was renewed on the following day at
close quarters and was desperate. The
Turks finally fed, leaving the New
Zealanders in possession of the high
est point yet gained on the PENN
sula.
"Counterattacks were repulsed by
the military and naval artillery. From
Aug. 8 to the evening Of Aug. IL the
landing and advance Of Anafarta Bay,
supported by artillery, were ucces
full, occupying a wide front on the hills
beyond the Salt Lake. The enemy's
position on the Anafarta ridge, how.
ever, remained untouched. The prob
