United Press Stan Correspondent.
LONDON, Sept 24.-The Balkans
made rapid strides toward war today.
Greece answered tho Bulgarian call
to arms by summoning two-thirds Of
her reservists TO the colors. King
Constantine was expected to sign a
second decree late this afternoon, or
dering mobilization OF all the land
forces Of his kingdom.
The ultimatum that will tumble the
Balkans into the world war may go
flashing over the telegraph wires be-
fore night The Allied capitals are
on tiptoe. awaiting the first news OF
the beginning OF the armed clashes.
The news from Athens was received
with the greatest satisfaction here
Greece intends TO stand by Serbia. That
is the only Interpretation that can b,
put on the Greek mobilization order
Roumania is expected to make a similnl
move, but Bucharest dispatches today
were strangely silent on this point. Bul
caria Is completing her preparations fo
war. Large forces of workmen are bus,
improving her frontier defenses on tn
Serbian boundary. Bulgarian vessels 81

LONDON. Sept 24.-The censor's
veil was drawn closely over the
Balkans today Scarcely a hint OF
what is going on In the Bulgarian.
Greek and Roumanian capitals. reach
ed London during the night. This
fact alone increased the belief here
that when the curtain Is lifted Gar
Ferdinand will be discovered at the
head OF the Bulgarian armies, ready
TO strike.
The press OF all the allied capitals
has awakened TO the gravity of the sit
uation. A petrograd dispatch today
said that the Russian press expresses
no surprise az the Bulgarian mobili-
zation order and regards the situation
as "most serious" The United Press
bureau at Paris wired today that "the
newspapers here agree the Balkan
situation is grave"
The Bulgarian legation today was
unable to confirm report that the
mobilization order had suddenly been
withdrawn. Attaches said they could
imagine no development that would
lead the Bulgarian Czar 10 cancel
his decree after Il had once been pro-
mulgated. This rumor only increased
the perplexity here as TO Ferdinand's
real purpose
London took the view that II Athens
reports of the mobilization of 2S
classes OF Bulgarian reserves are
true, there can be no doubt as to Bull
garia's intentions. 10 was pointed
out here that no such force Is needed

CHAIN LETTERS AGAIN

Among other things starting up in these war times is the old :" chain letter. You get a let ter from some friend with the request that you make four copies and mail them to other friends. Thus the thing grows like a snowfall or spreads like bacteria at their best. The Post Office authorities tell us t h a these "chain letters" come and go. At times they seem to die out and then all of a sudden they break out once more. The prin- ciple is wrong because it gives fakers and practical jokers a chance to deceive the public, and induces people to endorse a lot of schemes that they know nothing about. Do not under any cir cumstances copy and distribute any "chain letter." Break the chain whenever it drags near you.
