cienched teeth showing through parted

how desperately he was calling on every
effort. Simpson was crouched far for

BY ARTHUR s. DRAPER.

London, Aug. 27.-The most signif-
cant expression of popular feeling was
given to-day, when, despite torren-
tial rain, the labor unions held a great
parade in Hyde Park, initiated by the
powerful railroad mems union, for the
purpose of protesting against the out
rageous increase in the cost of living
Many notable labor leaders were pres
ent, but the speech of the afternoon
was made by Ben Tillett, who recently
received the thanks of General Haig
and Lord French for invaluable services
both in recruiting and stirring up mu-
milton workers
"Of the British armies of 100000
men," he said, "4S0,OOO come from the
working classes. The proportion of men
from the merchant shipping class who
have entered the navy is even greater.
Yet while these men are risking their
lives for the government it allows their
dependents to suffer privation on &C
count of the prices of food, which have
risen 70 per cent through the rapacity
of the food rings.
"The virility of the race is suffering
in consequence, which will have a ire
mendous effect after the war, when,
with 100000 cripples upon the hands
of the nation, all the available energy

Allies Ask Greece When
She Will Resist Bulgars

Athens, Aug. "a (via London, Aug.
%, delayed) Bulgarian cavalry have
passed through Kastoria in the direc-
ton of Cozani, where, up to the pres
ent, the Serbs have arrested their re-
tirement, and are continuing their
broad, sweeping movement, which evil
IDENTIFY is intended TO crumble up the
Serbs on Salonica.
The French and British ministers
this evening asked Premier Zaimis
how far the Greek government pro-
posed to countenance the Bulgarian
advance without resistance, pointing
out that it would be Of no military in
terest to the Entente powers to defend
Central Thessaly from invasion, as
Salonica was supplied from the sea and
could not be cut off by land.
The embarrassment of the Greek gov
eminent grows hourly, in the face Of
popular resentment against the Bull
garian invasion. The Venizelist organs
criticise the inaetion of the govern
ment, the "Cretan" declaring that the
hour has come for action similar TO
that taken in 1909.

ITALY DECLARES
WAR ON GERMANY
Continued from page I

providing for mutual respect of the
rights of each others subjects was de-
nounced. The final step was the send
ing of Italian troops to Salonica.
Although officially at peace until,
yesterday, Italy and Germany severed
diplomatic relations last year. On the
day following Italy's declaration Of
war against Austria, Prince Won Buelow
and his staff departed from Rome, and
two days later the Italian Ambassador
at Berlin, Risardo Bollati, was with
drawn. 1t was on account of this fact
that Italy adopted the unusual pro-
cedure of asking Switzerland to in
form Germany of her declaration OF
war.
Italy's action probably will have lit
tie effect on the military situation in
the immediate future, although as the
war goes on il may have a more i'm
portant bearing. On the Austro-lta.-
ian front Italy finds active use for
hardly more than half her army, and
in future will be able to send available
troops to any front on which they may
be needed. Having committed herself
already to the Macedonian campaign,
