 Valparaiso, Ind, Aug. 23-Hermar Lang, 22, an electrical engineer, walk. ing from his home in Cleveland, O.. to Chicago to find work, walked into the arms of Miss Carrie Hollett, 30, 2 buxom country lass, and was walked into the county Jail here to await trial on a charge of burglary. Lang entered the Hollett home loaded up with jewelry and silverware and departed through an open win. dow. Just at that moment Miss Hol. lett appeared around a corner of the house, saw Lang coming through the window, threw her arms around him and gathered the startled burglar into a tight embrace, in the meantime shouting for help.
 Her older sister, Miss Elva, re. sponded, took in the situation at 6 glance, hurried into the house and returned with an empty double bar relied shotgun, which she levelled al Lang and h sld him prisoner until Car rie had telephoned to Sherif Lindall to come and get the burglar.

Axel Anderson, high grade mechanic who works at the huge Remington plant, ts one the first of Bridgeport people to report successful results from the use of ''Wilderbs' Gull ex- tract), the new medicine now being introduced here. Anderson's case IS an unusual one because of the re- markedly uick results obtained. He has been suffering from stomach trouble for six years, until "wilderbs was recommended to him. He has been using this Miracle Medicine" only a short time and now testifies that the gas trouble he had has dim inished and his general health is inn mensely improved. He said:-
 "I wish you had come to Bridge port four years ago which would have saved me lot of money as l had to give up my work and go pack home in the old country for change of air. My stomach trouble was so bad for six years now I have suffer ed with gas on my stomach and at times it was difficult for me to breath, it choked me up so. Every medicine I tried did me no good ana even my trip abroad only helped me temporarily. I was beginning to be- lieve there was no relief until I lately read how highly 'WHderbs' was re- commended for this trouble: l nave only used two bottles and feel tre- mendously improved.

BALKANS HOLD
 WAR INTEREST IN LONDON NOW

London. Aug. 23.-Developments in the Balkans take first place In both news and editorial columns of the newspapers this morning. The papers display keen interest not only in the landing of the Italian and Russian troops at aSaloniki but also in possible actions by the Greek and Rumanlan governments and in the new Russian onensive which Is developing In Bulk a--ina. According to unofficial des- patches, the Russians are pushing ahead with the greatest energy In Bukowina close to the Rumanian from tier and already have gained "a very brilliant success.
 The Daily News in ' editorial sum- mary of the Balkan situation says:
 "The imminent general offensive against Bulgaria is of great 1mpor- tance. One of the first results of a successful offensive by General sar- rail would be a complete rupture or Germany's communication with the east and the isolation and capitula- tion of Turkey. This is a plain geo. graphical fact.
 There are also other issues upon which is safer to reflect than enlarge. These effect the fortunes of the two |neutrals, Greece and Rumania as well as the dozen belligerents. The situa- tion in Greece, where Greek troops al- ready actually are engaged in hard fighting with their traditional enemies, the Bulgars, is rich in possibilities As to the intentions of Rumania, we may be content to draw upon the German press which is authority for the statement that Rumania definitely has joined hands with the entente and is preparing to give Russian troops passage through -7- territory. It is difficult to conceive what motive the Germans could have for circulating such a statement other than tie belief that it is true.'

It was Miss Alma Earnest who gave ElweIl his choice She had tried to discour- age him when he joined the militia

UNIFIED STATES ARMY SERVICE

What will become of the National Guard when it is released from border service? Many reports agree that the boys win resign by the thousands. They have done their duty. It will be some one else's turn then. Let Georgs do it." Who can blame them?
 IT this is the case, it will then be more than ever necessary to make United States army service more at- tracfive. But enlistments have been ,com1ng hard. Many of our leading citizens deplore this apparent lack of patriotism
 Yet to a man of ambition and spirit, $15 a month, even with board and clothes. does not look very rosy. Every one would like to encourage enlist ments. The recruiting offices have pretty pictures showing the pleasant side of army life. But S15 month doesn't compete with present wage levels Particularly if a man has a little family.
 A certain type of men will always be attracted into the army no mat ter what the pay. To fellows liking adventure it seems attractive. But after a year tending the lawns at some army post, the romance all fades out. Patro1linx the cactus plains of the border would seem little better. There fs chance down there, 6f course. that one could pot a Mexican. But not much satisfaction in playing an opponent 50 ignorant of the rules of the game.
 Army life will attract solid, sub stantia1, persevering fellows, when a living chance is offered. And not much before. The army needs some thing beside mere rovers. It needs men who. will stick right to it, with the hope of working up at. least to the lower commands which are fairly we'll paid. But Uncle Sam will have to loosen up" bit to get them.
