POLLUTED WATER
ELGIN'S TROUBLE

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 23.-Sixty
cases of typhoid fever are prevalent
at EIgin. Ill, where the disease has
been epidemic for several weeks, &C
cording to a report to the state board

Polluted water at the plant of the
Elgin National Watch company is
given as the source of the contagion.
Whether the state board Of health will
take charge of the situation will de-
pend on the decision of DR.. c. st.

London, Aug. %. (4:55 p. m)-No
peace overtures have been made to
Great Britain, declared Lord Robert
Cecil, minister of war trade and par
liamentary under-secretary for for
eign affairs, In the house of commons
today.
Lord Roberts statement was made
in response to a question by Sir James
Henry Dalziel, liberal member for
Kirkcaldy Burghs, in regard to- peace
rumors" and the situation in the Bal
kanS.
NO overtures have been made for
peace said Lord Robert. There is
only one way in which overtures for
peace could be made and that is from
an enemy to the government of this
country If any such overtures were
made the first thing we should do
would be to consult with our allies"
As to the Balkans Lord Robert said
the most important factor consisted of
the operations from Saloniki. The al
lies relations with the new Greek gov
eminent, he stated, were thoroughly
satisfactory.

Berlin Hears
Ruma71ia Is
Yet OnFence

Berlin, Aug. % (by wireless to Say
Vile. )-Rumania has not decided
whether she will enter the war, in the
opinion of a person characterized by
the Overseas News agency as "a dis
tinguished diplomatist especially con-
versant with Rumanian affairs"
On being asked by the news agency
as to the present situation, he said:
"Rumania's attitude is due to her
geographical situation. The country
is virtually surrounded by belliger-
ents. Since the beginning of the pres
ent confiagration the entente powers,
particularly Russia, have been ex-
tremely active in Rumania. The coun-
try is flooded with Russian agents and
spies of all description. The entente
uses money lavishly to bride politi-
clans and influence the press.
AT present Rumania is still unde-
cided. She probably will not give up
her adroit policy of neutrality unless
she believes the really decisive turn
in the war has been reached. Mean
while trade relations between Ruma-
MIA and the central powers continue to
be normal and active"

THE WAX TODAY

Political developments in the
Balkans OvershadOw in interest
for the moment even the impOr-
tant military operations in prog
ress there. but tOday's dispatches
throw little new light on the sit
uati0n from either political or
military standpoint.
In connection with Rumania's
attitude the course of the Russian
campaign in BukOwina close to
the Rumanian frontier is being
closely watched. Latest advIces
from TeutOnic sources. however,
declare that the Russians are be-
ing held up by the TeutOnic resist
ance, not only in the Carpathian
fighting, but along the entire front
to the north in Galicia and Vol
hynia.
The allies now have a fOrmid-
able army on the Macedonian
trent. So far, however. it is only
in the center, in the Vardar val
lev, that entente advances have
been scored. 1t seems not imprOb-
able that this region. which 0ners
superiar railroad facilities because
OF the line running through 1t
from SaIOniki to JSkup, has been
selected as the main avenue along
which the entente thrust is to be
made.
On the western front, along the
SOmme the British continue clos
ing in on ThiepVaI and apparently
have GuillemOnt almost within
their grip. South OF the S0mme
the French are now being forced
TO fight hard for retention of the
trenches captured early this week
in the vicinity OF EstreeS, and
Paris reports today that the Ger
mans were able to gain IA footing
in their former trenches.
The italian artillery in the CO.
riZia area is showing activity and
work Of consolidating ground won
east and southeast Of the captured
town is being completed. The
Italians have launched a new ag-
gressive movement in the DOlO-
mites, the Alpine region on the far
northern front.
The Turks have attempted an
offensive along the Black sea
coast but Petr0grad reports they
were driven back with the aid of
the Russian Black sea fleet
The Bulgarians have bent back
both wings OF the entente allies on
the SaIoniki front where the
armies of at least seven nations
are in battle. I'm the center, how
ever. where the allies main force
is being made at the entrance TO
the great Vardar valley, Paris re-
ports important gains. The Serb
ians have been the heaviest losers
and have been forced back on their
extreme left, about five miles from
the Serbian-Greek frontier.
On the western front the British
continue their efforts TO surround
ThiepVaI and report the capture Of
leo Yards of German trenches near
Martinpuich.

PRESIDENTS POLICY AVERTS STRIKE
DAVENPORT DOCTOR SHOT BY
ANGRY PATIEN T;NEAR DEATH

Poulas. He said he and DR.. Berwald
took an X-ray picture of Poulas' neck
to determine whether there were any
broken bones Dr. Pomroy told him
there were none broken. Poulas said
another doctor told him there were.
Apparently Poulas followed Pomroy
with the intention of shooting him and
then fleeing for he had his belongings
with him in the suit case.
Miss Lulu Pomroy. his niece, who
resides in Keithsburg, Ill, and who
was being taken to the Rock Island
Southern station at the foot of Fourth
avenue by her uncle, DR.. Pomroy, at
the time of the shooting told the fol-
lowing story to an Argus reporter at
ST. Anthony's hospital.
I had been visiting for several
days with my uncle, DR.. Pomroy in
Davenport, and was to return to my
home in Keithsburg, Ill, this after
noon. We took a Bridge line car to
Rock Island and boarded a Fourth ave-
nue. car at Twentieth street.
when the car reached First street
l got off first, my uncle following. The
first thing ! knew of the shooting was
when | heard the shot and turned
about to see my uncle falling and the
stranger standing by him with smok-
ing revolver. We did not know of the
presence of this man Poulas until he
fired the shot. My uncle knows of no
reason why Poulas should have shot
him. He told me that some time ago
he and DIR. Berwa1d, his office partner,
took an X-ray picture of Poulos' neck.
Poulos had told them that another
physician had taken an X-ray of his
neck and found it broken. My uncle
found that the member was not frac-
tured in any manner and told him So"

General Allied Offensive
Against the Bulgarians
Seems Imminent.
RUSS NEAR RUMANIA
Future Attitudes of Greek
and Rumanian Govern
ments Give Concern.

London, Aug. %, C2:15 a. mD-De-
velopment5 in the Balkans take first
place this morning in the newspapers,
which display keen interest in the
landing of the Italian and Russian
troops at Saloniki, the possible actions
by the Greek and Rumanian govern
ments and in the new Russian often
sive in BukOwina.
Unofficial dispatches say the Rus
slams are pushing ahead with the great
est energy in Bukowina close to the
Rumanian frontier and already have
gained "a very brilliant success" The
Daily News sums up the Balkan situa-
ton as follows.
The imminent general offensive
against Bulgaria is of great impor-
lance. One of the first results of a
successful offensive by General Sarrail
would be a complete rupture Of Ger
many's communications with the east
and the capitulatiOn of Turkey
THE situation in Greece where
Greek troops already actually are en-
gagged in hard fighting with their ira
ditional enemies, the Bulgars, is rich
in possibilities. AS to the intentions
of Rumania, we may be content to
draw upon the German press, which
says Rumania definitely has Joined
hands with the entente and is pre-
pairing to give Russian troops passage
through her territory. 1t is difficult to
conceive what motives the Germans
could have for circulating such a state
ment other than the belief that it is
true"
Deny Famine in Albania.
Berlin, Aug. % (By wireless to Say
ville)-The AustrO-Hungarian troops
in Albania have been reinforced re-
Gently, according to official informa-
ton from Vienna given out today by
the Overseas News agency. This
statement was made to controvert a
report from French sources that Aus
Hungarian troops had been with
drawn and that in consequence there
was a famine in Albania and wide
spread agitation.
Equally untrue, it is said, are asser-
lions that rebellions have broken out
in Montenegro.
