Bulgaria could not repeat the coStiy
mistake of last autumn by continuing
to respect a neutrality which dld not
exist She could not permit her hands
to be tied while her enemies were
masking their blow Consequently she
took the step of occupying Greek terri
tory for defensive purposes!
The capture by German bulgarian
troops of Greek forces at kavala ana
elsewhere cannot by any legal expedl-
ent be distorted into an act OF war
against Greece.

an enemy. but to a friend who could anord

Bulgaria has no quarrel with
Greece The Bulgarian government
had no intention of appropriating
Greek territory. The occupation of the
three fortresses in the Demir- -Hissar

sent OF Greece, was purely defensive
measure. So was the occupation of
Florina, kastoria and of Kavala. with
its outlying forts.

Balkan campaign of last autumn Bull
earla strictly respected the neutrality

ElKO COUNTY MAY
LICENSE GAMBLING

At their meeting this afternoon. the
county commissioners are considering
the question of lacensing all games in
Elko and Carlin. says the Elko lnde-
pendent.
District Attorney Carville has given
the opinion that ordinances might be
adopted which would provide for the
licensing of games in towns having a
town government, and as the attorney
general, who is expected tomorrow
concurs in this opinion, there is little
doubt that such ordinances will be
passed
The recent grand jury called atten-
tion TO the fact that the gaming laws
are being violated daily, and the sher
III was directed TO take steps to en-
force the law. In the opinion of the
board the matter can best be regu.
lated by providing for a high license
for all games. Furthermore. con.
siderable amount of revenue for town
purposes could in this way be Sc.
cured
We believe that such action by the
board would meet with popular favor

OCEAN fRE|CHTS
RISING RAPIDLY
COST OF TRANSATLANTIC CAR.
RAGE HAS ADVANCED 900
PER CENT

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Apr. 8.--Dr.
+, E. Pratt, chief of the bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce, calls
attention to the rapid rise in ocean
freight rates from American ports. A
special point is made of the remark
able rise in the rates on grain, out OF
the principal American exports. This
Increase from New York to Liverpool
in the last two years has been about
900 per cent, while tne increase in the
rate on flour has been 500 per cent
and the increase on provisions only
400 per cent The more rapid increase
on grain is accounted for by the fact
that in ordinary times grain is carried
at especially low rates because of
its desirability as ballast and because
it can easily be taken on and dis
charged.
The shortage of ships that has led
to the remarkable increases in ship
ping rates is attributed to the follow.
ing causes in the latter to the com
mittee: "a The elimination of The
merchant ships of Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary; CD the withdrawal ri
merchant ships for military and naval
purposes; and 90 the loss of ships
