the large map at the National Rifle
Association headquarters, where col
ored pins are stuck representing every

5000 men and boys.
Maj. Harllee is planning new deco
ration for expert rif1emen. He has been
going among members of the riie clubs
in an effort to get designs. and the

that If the expert wishes he may buy
a pendant for his bar or bars. which
probably will consist Of a small silver
target. The new medals, of whatever
design they may be. are expected to
appear shortly.

Wartime Games In Paris

plays ip which 1t is hard to take the

The girls in these war games usually
serve as Red Cross sisters: they care
for the wounded and nurse them with
jam and make-believe handages. Or
else they are godmothers. writing jolly
letters to the bravo boys at tho front.
But there are some. however. who are
never satisfied unless they, too, can

Berlin Appears to
Distrust Bulgarians.

Bulgarians. who have at times shown
a tendency to take the bit in their
teeth and resent complete Germanic
domination of their individual desires
and aspirations. Bulgaria undoubtedly
entered the present war that she might
obtain frontier territory. Germany is
declared to have promised her. in event
Of victory. such rewards as Bulgaria
deemed proper. The German advance
through Serbia and the Austrian dom
nation of Montenegro apparently con-
WINGED King Ferdinand that his inter-
ests were with the kaiser, who evil
IDENTIFY was on the high road to COM
plete and overwhelming victory in the
present war. Bot while the govern
nent itself leaned toward the Teuton.
il it declared that the people never
have been overjoyed by the alliance
formed by their king. From the very
start there has been constant criticism.
In recent months, after pressure from
other quarters has forced the Germans
and Austrians to withdraw a large
proportion Of their troops from the
Macedonian front. leaving the conflict
largely in. control of the Bulgarians.
King Ferdinand began to realize the
possibility that he may have made a
mistake. particularly in view of the
fact that the allied armies along the
whole Macedonian front were numeri
cally superior to his own. From the
standpoint of equipment they also were
reported to be superior. He demanded
Turkish reinforcements, which he re-
ceiyed. Immediately, when signs of an
allied advance from Saloniki became
more pronounced, he initiated an often
sive into Greece, declared to have been
against the direct orders of the kaiser
This offensive is largely defensive in
character and with the view to fore
stailing advances of Importance into
Bulgarian territory. The entrance of
Rumania into the war, however, has
increased King Ferdinands difficulties
from a military standpoint. for his
forces are in danger of being ground
between the Russo Rumanian milestone
on the north and the allies operating
in Macedonia. With Russia already
sending great forces toward the Bull
garian frontier. with the Serbians in
possession of Rustchuk. one of his prin-
chile Danube cities. and with the pros
pect Of eventual success diminished and
realization Of rewards from German
hands reduced to the minimum. King
Ferdinand is declared to be hunting a
way out. This move is declared to be
largely due to his own personal unpop-
lularity among the people, who accuse
him of betraying a national trust. Ac-
cording to reliable sources. King Ferdi-

be a signal for parliament to act to-

1t is reported that Hungarian leaders
believe that now or the immediate fu-

and Rumania looking toward sepa-

the separatist group. While Austria
and Germany proper have brought
stringent measures into play in order to
suppress such talk in their immediate
domains, no severe measures have been
brought into play in Hungary. and for
this reason the belief that Count Tisza
also looks toward the establishment of
an entirely independent government is
given credence. Allied capitals are con-
fident that continued invasion of Hun
gary will only further heighten the
feeling of resentment against Vienna
and Berlin, which already is keen in
those Hungarian circles which have
been quick to criticise every military
endearor of the central powers, partic-
ularly if that effort has in anywise fail
ed. The removal of the larger portion
of Hungarian troops from the Ru-
manian border, in the face OF possible
Rumanian aggression, is the latest ac-
ton to inf1ame the Hungarian mind.
Germany. it may be expected. never
will permit Hungary to take the pro-
posed step without bringing the great
est pressure TO bear to perpetuate the
unity of the central powers. Germany
realizes full well that such a move i'm

4 great shadow has crossed the hlSh-
Wy of Teutonic aspirations in the pres
ct great European struggle in the en-
t'"nce OF Rumania in the war on the
side of the entente allies. but however
harrassing this may prove from
st ictly military standpoint. other de-
veiorments. almost phantomlike, are
taking shape-ones which may make
certain the downfall of the cause OF
TIE central powers and bring the war
to an earlier conclusion than now is
expected in the capitals of the various
beliigerent nations. These possible
death dealing blows are:
The withdrawal of Hungary from her
alliance with Austria and the estab-
lishment of a separate peace and a
government to guide her future desti-
MES.
Bulgaria's announcement of her al
lance with Germany and Austria-she
either suing for separate peace or
throwing her armies on the side OF the
allies to aid in crushing Turkey or the
armies of the kaiser.
The active participation of the entire
Greek army in the campaign looking
toward the redemption of Serbia and
Montenegro
The greatest blow that possibly could
be rendered at the present Juncture or
at any time during the course of the
war would be the withdrawal of Hun
gary from her present alignment Al
ready there have been repo-ts-which
have been given conside.ab -credence
In Italy-that the movement looking
toward the establishment of separate
peace with the allies has been under
way for some time, and is expected to
crystalline at any juncture. 1t Is de-
clared that even as early as 1914 Hun
gary demanded that there be greater
concentration of Teuyonic armies in the
Carpathians to remove the immediate
menace from Hungary. it being de-
ciared that Count Tisza, the Hun
earfan premier. plainly stated that
Hungary never would tolerate further
Russian aggression without taking
steps toward meeting the situation in
Teoendently of Austria and Germany.
That - obtained additional protection
IS a matter of history.
