Historic Naval Craft Sold and to Be
Stripped Bare.

The old United States naval ship
Franklin, recently sold by the govern
ment at auction to the highest bidder,
is to be towed from the Norfolk navy
yard to Eastport, Me-, where she will
be stripped of all articles Of value.
She will then be beached and burned
to obtain the copper and other metals

The Franklin will be recalled by
many who in the past quarter of a
century have visited the Norfolk navy
yard, where the craft was used as a
receiving ship. Housed over and lying
near the river sidewalk at the navy
yard. the old ship was seen by every
one visiting the yard.
The Franklin was built at Kittery,
Me-. in 1855. In her day she was one
of the fine ships of the navy.
She has a displacement OF $40 tons
and is 265 feet 3 inches in length. 1t

Bulgar Menace
Feared in Rumania

II being known that Sonia long had
coveted the Silistrian district. which was
lost by her in the conflict OF 1913. and
me DobrudJa district. lost 10 Bulgaria at
1he congress of Vienna
Those in Bucharest who from the first
predicted eventual Teutonic defeat and
who firmly believed that Rumania
might better her future national inter
esJs again brought TO bear great pres
sure for Intervention for the entente.
Their cause was materially assisted by
the dispatch Of Bulgarian troops to the
boundary line Of Rumania. and at this
ilncture there were frequent isolated
clashes between small bodies OF Ru-
Inanian and Bulgarian troops. Assur-
ances We're received, however. from
Berlin that the Buigars had no inten-
ZION Of acting against RGmania. and
these assurances in the face of further
Russian defeats caused Rumania to
sheath ne- half-dra VII sword.
The spark Of war. in So far as Runania
is concerned. again was famed during
the spring Of the present year. when
the Russians began their successful Of

Position of Greece
Has Aroused Interest.

Greece and her possible future ac-
tion in regard to the great war. When
Greece is mentioned. the Grecian govern
ment must be considered on the one
hand and the masses of the people as
represented by the national liberal party
headed by former Premier Venizelos on
the other. There is sharp cleavage
between the people with their pro-aIly
sentiments and the government which
is dominated by King Constantine mark
edly pro-German,' possibly through his
relationship with the kaiser But it is
this cleavage in Greece and its possible
outcome that arouse the keenest specu-
lation.
The Bulgarian advance into Grecian
territory during the week aroused the
keenest concern throughout the king
dom. The BulSars being ancient enc
mics of Greece and Greece being fear
full Of losing her grip on Macedonian
regions, which are greatly coveted by
the Sofia government, II is but natural
that the populace should Immediately
demand that their army be hurled
against the invader. which would be
tatamount to espousal of the allied
cause. The Grecian government, how
ever, has shown signs of resisting this
popular demand and. in fact, is declared
to have ordered the retreat OF such
region of Seres, and which have been
fighting sanguinary engagements with the
Bulgarians. The Grecian commanders Of
these little groups of troops show no
signs of obeying the kings command
to retire. being backed by volunteers.
1t is declared that hundreds of Greeks
have gone to Saloniki and enlisted with
entente forces in order thar they may
be assured Of opportunity OF resisting
the hated Bulgars.
IL the refusal of Grecian troops in the
Seres region the first open step toward
rebellion against the king ard the gov

arisen in the minds Of students OF the
