viii Aid Alabama in Get
ting the Highway Pass
Through That State.
]. r. PHILLIPS AND c. H.
MANN TO NASHVILLE
Take With them Data Gath
cred Several Years Ago
BY Pensacola Scout Car.

To aid Alabama in getting the
great jackson Military Highway to
pass through that state, G. H. Mann
and Jas. F. Phillips, representing the
Rotary club and Chamber of Com
merc1 respectively, left Pensacola
yesterday morning for Nashville.
Should the Alabama route be selected
It will be Of great advantage to Pen
sacoln for the reason that the ma
jority Of autoists travelling the high
way win make the trip south from
FIomaton to Pensacola.
Messrs. Mann and Phillips took
with them data and maps secured
several years ago when DIR. Kennedy,
the late Frank L. Mayes, Tino Brent
and A. M. Avery, Jr., made the trip
from Pensacola to Chicago. News
paper cuts prepared on that occasion
were turned over to the Pensacola
delegates and viii be printed in the
Nashville newspapers to show that
the route of the Pensacola scout car
is the more direct and best that could
be selected.
The Pensacola-to-C Chicago route is
An ideal one, including, as it does,
Montgomery, Birmingham, Nashville
and Louisville and it is believed that
the Pensacola delegates will be able
to make a very favorable impression
on the convention when they present

MAY SOLVE RIDDLE
OF BALKAN STATES
Bulgarian Premier Declares
Rurnania and Greece will
Remain Neutral.
az AssoCIATED pRpss


London, Sept. 22.-While Bulgaria's
mobilization for war is q move that
may solve the riddle of the Balkans,
it struck London suddenly. The after
noon papers remained silent editorial
ly and England is none wiser as to
whether the development is to be con-
sidered a preliminary victory for
Germany or merely another turn in
the Balkan negotiations. London is
inclined to believe Bulgaria is still
neutral and still waiting, but is armed
as the Bulgarian minister here says.
General activity is reported along
the Serbian frontier and Nish denies
that the Germans have asked Serbia
to remain quiescent while the Ger
mans moved southwark
On the eastern front the Germans
claim progresszav At the northern
E6.st acre The
Russians are on the offensive near
Friedrichstadt. Indications are that
the German attempts to encircle the
retreating Russians south of Wilma
has been unsuccessful.
Violent bombardments continue in
the Flanders section Of the western
front. italian artillery is active in
Dolomites.
The Bulgarian premier assured his
supporters yesterday that Roumania
and Greece would remain neutral.
Reports from many parts of Bull
garia tell of enthusiastic demonstra-
tons in favor of the government
This is considered, synptomatic Of
public feeling.
The formal cession by Turkey Of
the territory along the Dedesghatcl
railroad has been delayed by the &C,
ton Of the entente powers in notify
ing Bulgaria that acceptance woulc
be regarded as an unfriendly act.
It was learned today that King
Ferdinand, replying last Friday Il
