Bulgarians Have Little Footwear But Are Waiting to Attack SaIonil<i.

Berne, Switzerland, Aug. 12.-Ac- cording to reports here, the Bulgar- ians and Germans have about half a million men ready for an attack upon Saloniki. The greatest difficulty the Bulgarians have to contend with is the lack Of shoes. A Swiss doctor just returned from Sofia says that fully half the Bulgarian forces are without shoes, which civilians also find with difficulty at prices runnir 2 from $8 a pair upward
 Bulgaria, without shoe factories and tanneries, is also short of hides The entire stock on hand has been dis tributed among the troops.

BIG COMBINE EFFECTED.
New Coal Concern Will Handle G.,
 OOO,OOO Tons Annually.

London, Aug. 12-The greatest coal mbine known to the United King dom has just been effected by Lord RhOndda, better known to Americans as D. A. Thomas. the Welsh coal magnate. He has brought into the Cambrian Combine, of which he is mana ging director, between $500 and 4,0O0 acres of the richest portion of the South Wales coal fields belong ing to D. Davis & Sons. Ltd. The deal involves the transfer of the collieries of the Welsh Navigation Steam Coal company, Ltd, acquired three years ago by Davis & Sons for S1,574,25O The combine places Lord Rhondda at the head of an organi- zation with a capital of $17,765, ITO. Public interest has been so much concentrated in the war that, outside | business and financial circles, prac- tically no interest has been taken in the gigantic effect of the deal. It is that the Consolidated Cambrian Com | bine controls now all of the fields producing the renowned steam coal which has contributed so much to | the supremacy of the British mer- cantile marine and which has been said to constitute the life of the Brit ish navy It is said that there is no coal in the world with higher repu- tation for bunkering purposes, and that more record runs by ocean craft | between New York and Liverpool | have been made with this coal than with any other.
 Details of the deal are not avail able but it is understood that the market value of the shares of D. Davis & Son, Ltd, have appreciated in value recently from $7,678,125 to
 $10, 0,04O,625.
 The great combine will have an annual output of 6,0O0,000 tons.

CHANGE HEALTH ORDINANCE.
Word Which Rendered Law Uncon- stitutional Repealed Last Evening.

At the monthly meeting of the ordi- cil last evening it was voted to recom- mend to the common council to change health ordinance No. 373, which was declared illegal in the po- lice court this week. The ordinance relates to the protection of meat from flies and the objectional word was "securely." As it was claimed that it was impossible to provide secure protection, the committee in confer ence with Health Superintendent T. E. Reeks decided to change the read ing to "all reasonable means"
 In conference with Chairman Bab- cock of the board of public safety the ordinance committee took up the pro- posed ordinances relating to parking automobiles on Main street It was decided to recommend the adoption
 of an ordinance limiting the time to 40 minutes, the restricted district be- ing extended to cover Main street be- tween Chestnut and Lafayette streets. It was also voted to adopt an ordi-
 nance in relation to the use of am-
 mon1a in refrigerating plants which are used Jointly as tenement struc- tures TO provide against the dan- ger of fire and explosion it was de- cided to require that safety valves be installed and that shutouts be placed where they can be reached con- veniently in case of fire.

Straight Set Victory Gives Former Princeton Star Right to Meet Will Hams for Achelis Trophy.

Seabright, N. J., Aug. 12-George M. Church defeated R. Lindley Mur- ray in the final of the singles tourna- ment on the turf courts of the Sea- bright Lawn Tennis and Cricket club yesterday, winning in straight sets scored at GA, 6-2, GA As a result the former Princeton captain stands as the challenger of R. Norris Williams, 20, for the Achels challenge cup, one of the most famous trophies of the same
 Church dispelled all doubt as to his position as one of the most formidable c@ntenders for the national champion ship. He was the master of the Cali fOrnia meteor at every department of the game It was at the net, the close range game where the strokes follow in thick prOfuSOn like the flashes of lightning in a summer shower, that Church shone. Nothing that Murray could do could dislodge him. The fa- nous PrincetOnian who two years ago beat Williams for the national inter- collegiate hOnOrS always worked with speed and skill
 With a courage born of confidence followed in service or replies alike to the barrier, and seemed intuitively to know the flight of the ball. Strange as it may appear, the energetic Mur- ray was slow compared to Church when 1t came to moving into close range

PARALYSIS VICTIM
 HERE WILL RECOVER
Louis Quarti, Child Ill With Disease at Hartford Isolation Hospi-
 taI, Much Improved.

Louis Quarti, the three years old Rocky Hill avenue child, thus far the only person in New Britain to fall ill with the dreaded infantile paralysis, is reported as much improved. The child was removed to the Hartford isolation hospital the day the case was discovered and, according to a statement made today by Health Su- perintendent T. F. Reeks the young ster is rapidly recovering from the disease and should be returned to his home within the next two or three weeks
 Superintendent Reeks states that there are only twenty children here under close supervision, the re- Elainder having been released from the quarantine under which they were placed on arrival from New York. At one time there were over 300 visiting children here from the infected areas. While New York trains are still being met at Berlin by local he2lth inspectors, the depart ment has found that only few reach here who are not reported from the ne1ghbOrhOOd where they stop. The public, being in dread fear of the dis ease, has readily co-operated with the department In giving information as 10 the presence of new arrivals This has greatly aided the health officials in keeping close track of the visitors.
 Superintendent Reeks says the de- partment has decided to regard as suspects local children who are taken to infected areas and then brought back to the city Any who are ab- sent from the city more than twenty four hours, having visited New York or nearby points, will come under this category. During the past week the health department has issued more than 100 health certificates to New Britain children leaving the city on vacations.
