cattle Is now coming into the market ana bringing prices down again. Fruit IS almost given away because 1t cannot De exported. and the same applies to dairy products such as cheese and but ter. Coal is three or four times the normal price because most of the coal used in Roumania has been imported from England and, of course, this trade has stopped completely since the closing or the Dardanelles. Clothing and dress goods of all kinds have gone sky high as they, too, were imported from Eng land, France and Germany Boots are cheaper because hides cannot be ex- ported, and so on. To sum the situation up I should say that the Roumanian n peasant is better off, because his food is cheaper and clothing Is not a large item in his expenditure, while the farmer and the business man are suffering be- cause as the scale of living rises the ad- vance in prices becomes effective. and business of all kinds have been disturbed py the war conditions more particula rlv by the closing of the Dandanelles. Of course, good many people have made money, but good many have lost it as well.
 The whole situation in the Balkans as far as the war is concerned then is an economic one. What is there in it for us?'' is the question which each of the three neutral nations is asking itself and on the answer depends the decision of each country. So far 1t seems that the allies have been able to offer the best price for Balkan support, but the immediate future is by no means cer- tain.

 Of course, the economic conditions all over the Balkans are disturbed The com mon people in Greece are suffering less than anywhere else because Greece is practically self7supporting and the sea Is open for whatever imports she needs.

Roumania has been af- fected most of all the noncombantant countries, but curiously enough although there have been many changes in prices the net cost of living remains about the normal figure. For instance, bread Is much cheaper than usual. Meat is a trifle dearer because of the difficulty of import. but the domestic supply of

from her point of view would be that Constantinople should be international- lzed. At any rate she wants assur- ances and firm guarantees that her own independence and that of her neighbors will be respected after the War If she receives these, her troops will march Immediately after the har- vest and they will march on the side of the allies. I am told by leading men in Bulgaria that she expects 1o receive these assurances and that she is making all preparations for partici- patton in the war on that basis I know from the contracts that have beeen placed and the goods that have been delivered that she Is pretty certain she Is going to fight. If she doesn't she will have to throw away a lot of money and the Bulgarian is about as canny as the Scotsman when it comes to spending the bawbees to the best advantage"
 The situation in Greece is described by my informant Is even more interest ing. Here again is country bound to the allies by sentiment and interest. but more or less hampered by a dy- nasty with German connections. King Constantine's wife Is the Kaiser's sis ter and she wie1ds great influence over him. The Kings power was suf- ficient to compel the resignation of M Venizelos. the former prime minister who had actually agreed on behalf of bis country to send a military force to help in the attack on the Dardan- elles. Now Venizelos has secured an overwhelming majority in Parliament and his return to power seems assured. The King has been at deaths door and it not yet out of danger and noth- ing will be done until he either re- covers or dies. When either happens, my, informant predicts. Greece will join the war in a fortnight. A most Interesting feature of the Greek situa- tion is the fate of the dynasty. Many leading men in Athens declare quite openly that if King Constantine dies, his son will not succeed him.

or-New Car-New Pnce-New Service to Owners
 Increased Factory Fadlds-GeaAy Increased Production for 1916
New Motor

TWO years ago we saw three things. First
 was that the tendency of the public demand x in both Europe and America was to a compact high speed motor that was more efficient, would get away quicker run more smoothly. have greater Aexibility. show greater economy and last longer under hard service.
 Second was that public temporarily diverted to cars that only looked we'll and rode nicely for while would swing back to demand quality manufacture and the ability to stay put.
 Third was that only those manufacturers who built their own cars in large volume and bought their materials for spot cash at the advantage of the market could survive.
 Motor Designed in Europe
 So we sent our ensineers to Europe to design new motor and began to lay our plans for greatly increased production this season.
 We are now building two big new factory additions to handle the work We added machines that cost 100 apiece to do work in our factory in order to give this remarkable quality to you at $l350. Here is the res1t.
 No one dreamed that such car could be built for $l350 It equal to cars that sold for $4000 three years ago. It isn't made-over model. reduced in size. or certain things eliminated to fit the prce-it is brand new car. designed specially as Quality car at a low price.
 The Quality Car at Small Profit We are marketing this QUALITY car on the low- est profit per car in the motor car business.

 Some one said short time ago that people buy motor cars largely on three Ps-Paint. Price and Performance You can measure this wonderful Chalmers car. at $l350. by any one of these three standards. It is right in Paint. which indicates finish and wearing qualities.
 It t right in Performance. because no car at any price. performs better than this car does.
 And it is right in Price, No one in the history of the industry approached such quality at such price before.

The great valve-in-head motor, with overhead camshaft, costs us $8O00 more to build in our own shops than the ordinary type of motor be bought for on the outside and most of the competitors in our price class are using the ordinary type of motor.
 When Chalmers engineers went to Europe to study design two years ago. they found European designers at work high speed motors of the valve in-head type with overhead camshaft.
 European makers had already tried this type out in their racers They were pefectins it for road car.
 We hoped to be the first in America to adopt this style of motor. But when the war stopped European makers. fate decreed that we should lead the world in the use of the valve-in-hcad overhead camshaft motor for stock car.
 We were not surprised at the showing at Indian apolis and Chicago where this type of motor won all honors. We knew year ago that these results would be achieved
 Speedway Racers All of This Type
 We knew that to attain speed of 90 to 100 miles an hour that the motor would have to be avalve-in-head. overhead camshaft type.
