The Italians In the Balkans.

The arrival Of the italian troops
ut Salonica rather complexities than
clears the Balkan situation. II they
are to participate In the campaign
their presence would strengthen the
earlier belief that the advance north
ward Of General SAREAIL's force was
n part Of the Allies general offensive
movement and not, MS termed In Ger
man reports. mere sham attacks"
In sending this force 10 Greece
Italy dispatches her first consign-
ment Of troops, except the expedition
to Albania, away from her own from
tier. As German troops still remain
In southern Serbia and German off
cers are in command Of Bulgarian
offensive operations. Italy by taking
pnrt In the advance northward would
enter the var against Germany.
Last month Italy declared that her
subjects In Germany and Belgium
were treated rs nlien enemies aud
she threatened the,: to end the un-
usual agreement between the two ma.
lions since the war began. She may
have sent the force to replace the
Anglo French garrison mt SalOnicn.
or she may have taken this most
oppOrtune moment tn carry out her
threat Of war against Germany.
The situation In the Balkans. at
the best. Is puzzling. The Anglo
French army has been established
Mt SalOnica since 1t retreated from
Serbia. and Its first military activity
was the advance about II week ago
to the northern Grecian frontier. II
captured Dorian station. but this po.
s!tiOn Is Of much less Importance than
the nearby forts handed over to the
Bulgnrians by the Greek palace clique,

$50 miles and controls the entrance
to the Verdnr valley. commanding
the npprOnch to Uskub. to Ni,h. and
the Struma valley leading to Sofia.
But the reports do not indicate that
the Allies ut any place along this
front have pushed n vigorous attack.
The movement carried out to G
cess on the part OF the Allies would
mean the recovery Of Serbia, the cap
ture Of the Orient Railway. the link
between Germany AMI the Bosporus,
and the isolation OF Bulgaria and
Turkey from the Central Powers.
But the question OF military success
Is complicated by the peculiar situu-
ton In the Balkans.
The Allies have clearly not ahan.
doned their hopes OF winning both
ltumania and Greece. At the same
time they Per to have II chance Of
inducing Bulgaria to reconsider her
choice Of allies. The Greek elections
will he held In October and the result
will be largely dependent upon the
success or failure of the present
movements. Rumanin Is still waiting
for her best chance. From this 1t is
evident that the Allies will endeavor
to avoid the failures Of their former
Serbian eynpdltiOn md thot oIony
with military force they will display
diplomatic and political discretion.

Grain Review

Wheat swung downward in value to-
day chiefly owing to sympathy with de-
clines in the New York stock market.
There were also authoritative assertions
that estimates Of very large export
business had been exaggerated. On the
other hand, foreign demand appeared
to be continuing, and it was said that
country elevator stocks in the northwest
were only one quarter Of last years to-
tai at this time. Opening prices which
ranged from q to CSC lower, with May
at III to LIN and July at lao were
followed by 4 moderate rally, but then
a fresh decline.

SEEK WAY TO
KEEP GARDEN.
WOULD ISSUE STOCK TO SPORT
LOVERS TO RETAIN MADISON
SQUARE GARDEN.

New York. Dec. 2S-Whether Will
lard fights Carpenter or whether Les
Darcy. the Australian, is awarded the
job. the fact remains that Madison
SQUARE Garden has not been rented
and is not the home address of box
ing club at the present writing. Tex
Richard feels sure that he can engage
the Garden for the big bout no matter
who gets it. and all these other poten-
tial promoters of the affair say the.
same thing
Within the last few days several Of
fers have been made to lease the Gar
den outright and one of these-a very
liberal one. by the way-was made
by Richard himself. The New York
life insurance company. however. re-
fuse to give lease without a selling
clause in it. In other words. the prop
erty might be sold Just as club was
being organized and the while thing
would go "blooie'
1t was reported yesterday that Har-
ry Payne Whitney had under consid.
Grafton plan to buy the Garden prop
erty and keep it as it is even at
loss. SO that such affairs as the horse
show could be held there It has oc-
CURED to a lot of the prominent
sportsmen of &ew"York that if the
Garden is destroyed the horse show
may be destroyed with it. This re-
ported purchase by Mr. Whitney could
not be verified
Another plan suggested by Tex
Richard is to form stock company
Of an the snort loving people of New
York. prevail on a man like Harry
Payne Whitney to act as head OF "
and keep the old Garden as the prop
erty Of the public. This scheme con-
templates issuing the stock in dollori
shares so that everybody can have
little Of the property and feel pro-
prietary interest in it.
The people of New York like Madi,,.
son Square Garden as public inst;-
tuition and this would give them e
chance to perpetuate it as temple
sport
The difficulty in the public subscr;.
ton plan is the immense amount a.
work entailed in getting the smsH
shares of stock distributed and net
ing the citizens understand what
all about.
