BULGAR CHIEF THINKS
SPRING WILL END WAR
Says Central Powers Will Force
1t and Italy Will Seek It
Separately.

BERLIN. Feb. 1.-THE Sofia corre-
spondeht OF the Vossische Zeitung
teleBraphs the summary OF an inter-
view with the Bulgarian Generalissl-
mo Schekow. He said:
After the victories achieved and
the sacrifices by the Bulgarian people
and army, there can be no doubt that
Bulgaria stands on the threshold OF
the brilliant future. all the more be-
cause army and people are one In the
purpose OF continuing the fighting
to successful end.
"Montenegro's capitulatlon has grea I
political significance. 1t was a heavy
blow for the allies. One may already
safely assume that because OF the
Montenegrins' capitulation the plan
for action against Saloniki has great
ly lost it's Importance.
THE French VIII probably give up
that adventure at psychological mo-
ment and withdraw their troops from
Saloniki. This VIII probably cause a
cabinet crisis in France, and bring
the radicals into power.
"one cannot yet say where peace
VIII be concluded, but II is OF no
particular Importance. This much is
certain: Germany and her allies will
force peace upon, their enemies this
year In any event. and perhaps in the
very near future, about spring.
Spring will in any event bring
great and decisive events. Everything
points to the conclusion that Italy
will make separate peace by spring
Mt the latest because she will have
become convinced that the quadruple
entente cannot guarantee ultimate
victory and because internal condi-
tions Will force her TO make peace"

DANIELS APPROVES
DISMISSAL OF CADETS
Says Navy Needs Only officers

forty the fourth class.

men were not made public.

iels said:
The Navy does need more Officers.
Dut II needs only those who can meet
the high standard OF the Institution.
do not think any midshipman
ne can make 62h per cent in his studies.
In examinations given to civilians who
come into the navy in other branches
we REQUIRE a passing mark OF not less
than 90 per cent. With the careful in
struction given TO midshipmen, n pass
ing mark less than 62ik per cent would
be such a lowering OF standards as
woulh tend to decrease tho efficiency of
the officers of the navy.
NO man should be commissioned in
the navy who does not measure up to
the requirements OF modern naval edu-
cation.
THE time has come when neither
mere seniority in the active service nor
mediocrity at the Naval Academy

commemorative Of the sixty years.
Masonic life OF its recipient. Arriving
at our destination, Mr.. Simerman
was called into the Inns spacious
hall, and he created MS with a look Of
81 wonder what all this is about''
dominating his countenance. After
two or three musical selections-Miss
Irene Marshal presiding at the piano,
Mr.. W. H. Fisher extracting sweet
strains from his violin, and the flute
edging in few tones now and then
after this, presentation was formally
made. But there was nothing formal
in the feeling governing the affair: it
was a sincere expression of the desire
of all to render honor to the donee.
He expressed his qualification with
few words, but they came from his
heart. May his steps for many years
still to come be steadied by the gift
from his brethrenl After a little more
music the intruders said 'sgood- byev
and dispersed to their several homes,
satisfied with themselves and at peace
with all the world.
A letter was received in Ironton'
Sunday from Joe Beatty Burt, an
attorney in Chicago, making inquiry
as to the whereabouts of Mrs. Alzina
Rounds. Mrs. Rounds is described as
being about five feet, eight inches tall,
brown hair, blue eyes, weight about
146 lbs. When last seen she was
wearing a black wide -brimmed fur
hat, trimmed with black band, work
ed in silver beads, dark long plush
coat, black dress and shoes and had
her left wrist tied up in splints and
had a yellow suit case. Mrs. Rounds
left Chicago to pay a visit to Quincy,
Michigan, about February 10th; went
from there to Ohio and then came to
Ironton. The attorney writes that
she was last heard from in Ironton
and her husband, Joseph M. Rounds,
is very much alarmed because he has
received no further communication
from her. Inquiry reveals that Mrs.
Rounds arrived in Ironton on the oath
of March and stopped at Mr.. r. 7.
Whites four or five days, going from
here to st. Louis where she said she
would meet son. Her business here,
she stated, was to buy a poultry farm,
and said she would probably be back
later to close a deal. Those whocame
in contact with Mrs. Rounds here say
she appeared to be a refined and edu-
lcated woman and conducted herself
most properly. The attorney from
Chicago writes that she was in poor
health and her husband is fearful as
to what may have happened to her.
