BALKANS CAUSE
HIGH FEVER FOR
WAR SITUATION

The Balkan situation stands pre-
eminent in the war news today. The
Greeks are reported by London news
dispatch as contesting the advance Of
Bulgarian troops along the Strum
river vicinity, and scores of Greek re-
servists in that locality have been call
ed.
Fighting everywhere on the penin-
sula is stubborn, and a Paris news
agency reports the Serbians have cap
tured two important forests in the
Doiran section.
Athens reports the arrival of bri-
gade of Russian troops at Saloniki.
The central military staff at Sofia
announces the Inauguration of a gem
eral Bulgarian offensive in the Strum
valley, claiming occupation of Benz
Hissar and the left bank of the river,
after repulsing Allied forces near
Sores.
Rumanian participation on the Allies
side. is still discussed, Paris newspa-
pers devoting much space today to this
feature of the war news.
Berlin telegraphs the first hint of
Rumanian mobilization in reporting a
Bucharest dispatch ia Budapest, say
ing the war spirit at the Rumanian
capital has suddenly cooled, possibly
ecause of the order to mobilize. Doubt
less an agreement with the Allies has
been concluded by the Rumanian gov
ernment, this being indicated by the
arrival of ammunition from France and
Russia in that country.
Paris announces officially the cap
tpre of German trenches near Estrees
and Sayecourt on the Somme front.
The arrival of brigade of Russians
together with yesterdays announce
ment that Italian troops had landed
at Saloniki is another indication that
the Entente nations have decided to
concentrate in the Balkans forces suf
ficient for an important campaign.
Athens dispatches announcing the ar
rival of Russian troops at Saloniki
have been held up by military censors
since July 31st, when the first trans
ports filled with Slavs reached Greek
soil.
The British war Office announced
this afternoon an advance along a

to Col. j. A. Thomas, commanding.
They were Capt. E. Julian Peacock,
commanding the Floyd Rifles, of Ma
con; Capt. ]. H. Ennis, commanding

until Monday, when Capt Peacock him
self gave statement to newspaper
men concerning his resignation. He
stated that being part owner and sec

his business called upon him for his
attention.

POLICE WORKING.
ON MURDER PLOT
IN THE WADE CASE

Since the discovery of the keys and
box of talcum powder in the Walter
Wade disappearance mystery Monday,
there have been no new developments.
Nothing has been brought forward, so
far as is known, which might throw
additional light on the case.
The authorities are a unit in be-
lieving that Wade is dead, while some
friends maintain that he has left for
parts unknown. For this last action,
hot single substantial motive has
been brought out which could cause
such action of the prominent young
Leslie business man.
The authorities are not stopping in
the work, in fact, they are gaining
headway through the work they are
now carrying on, attempting to free
themselves from the blocking process
which was caused by so many people
entering the field in search of evidence
and voicing suspicious.
Wheatley Heard Shots.
Crawford Wheatley, near whose
home two shots weer heard by negroes,
also heard the shots. A few minutes
after the firing, he is said to have
heard car crank up and move up the
Dixie Highway at a terrific speed.
Mr. Wheatley has ordered the hands
or his place to carry on careful
search while they are working in this
section, and watch for buzzards.
The Great Problem.
The officers, working on the theory
that Wade is dead, must produce his
body. If any arrests are made, the
parties cannot be held indefinitely on
suspicion, and Wade's body must be
shown in case of murder, to bring the
charge.
A countrywide search is now under
way for evidence which might lead to
the recovery Of the body of Wade.
The matter of the keys being found
in Town creek is looked upon as an
indication of foul play. The key ring
contained the switch key of the auto
mobile, and few feet from the creek
vas found the car.
The relatives of Wade are firm in
the belief that he is dead. He is a
prominent young man, about "a years
of age, married, and until short time
ago in business at Leslie He is said
t. have carried a large sum of money
on him Thursday night when last seen
in Americus.
