Pan-Germans are striving to pla-
cate Bulgaria and hold her in line to
insure success of their Berlin-to-
Bagdad project.
Strong terms, which would make
Bulgaria supreme in the Balkans, are
outlined by DR.. Friedrich Naumann,
original exponent OF the Mittel Eu-
ropa program, according to diplomatic
advices received here today.
Germany is careful to make it clear
that Bulgaria will be indebted to
Teutonic assistance for whatever sue
cess is achieved.
Bulgaria. with the help OF Austria
Hungary. would determine the fate
Of Serbia, dismember Roumania and
Greece, and take entire control of
the Balkan peninsula according to
plans.
In the dispute with Turkey, Bull
garia is favored by Germany.
THE central power in the Balkans

is Bulgaria" Seumann declares. ac-
cording to advices reaching here.
This is her reward for the position
which she bravely took Bulgaria s
hegemony is in the interest of tran
quillity in the Balkan peninsula,
which has always been such a men
ace to Europe. The Gar and the
people of Bulgaria are quite equal
to their task. and Germany rejoices
in the Strengthening of her ally"
Turkeys claims to Balkan terri
tory meet with little Pan-German sp-
proval. Essentially Turkey is not
Balkan state, they say. and while
Turkey will be assured of her pres
ent Asiatic holdings. she will not be
permitted to revert to her former
Balkan pretensions.
Must ReIInquish Claims.
Roumania must give up all claims
to Beassarabia, Dobrudja, and terri
tory below the Danube, and Bulgaria
is to get Dobrudja, the Germans say.
Austria and Bulgaria are to divide
the spoils between them, their chief
victim being Serbia, who is not TO
be consulted.
'As the Serbs do not yet consider
the time ripe for the conclusion of
peace with the central powers, it is
better that they should not be mixed
up in the discussion Of those Ques-
tions," Naumann is quoted as saying.
The eastern shore OF the Adriatic
as far down as Greece is to be given
TO Austria All rail lines in the west
ern part OF the Balkans would thus
come under Austrian control. Trieste,
the most important Adriatic seaport,
would also be Austria's. Saloniki
and Monastir are to be Bulgarian
prizes. Serbia, pared by the German
knife, will be left a small interior coun-
try with every railroad leading 10
the sea under control OF her enemies
Threats OF starvation and strangula-
tion could be easily carried out any
time Serbia became rebeIlious.
Must Give Up Macedonia.
Greece would be forced to give up
Macedonia, losing Saloniki, one OF her
most important cities.
Vague promises as to autonomy for
Isolated racial groups scattered

little is hoped for from entente diplo-
mats should Germany's sweeping plan

$3.50 BILL READY
FOR FINAL PASSAGE

Conferees on the District OF Colum.
bia appropriation bill may reach a
| complete agreement today on that
measure and thus insure its quick en-
actment
With the half and half policy as
sured by the House action in receding
from the Gard amendment to abolish
II. there are two minor amendments
standing in the way Of a inal agree
ment. Indications are these can
speedily be disposed OF. One is an
amendment put on the bill in the Sen
ate to pay a damage claim OF Thomas
Keller. assistant doorkeeper of the
Senate on the Democratic side. and
the other is the Senate amendment
which continues the half and half
method OF financing the District play
grounds.
Further Conference.
The Senate before adjournment last
night asked further conference and
named Senator John Walter Smith
and Senators Curtis and Robinson as
conferees. The House conferees, head
ed by Congressman Sisson. are ex-
pected TO meet the Senate conferees
touay ana Try 10 reacn Settlement.
Down at bottom there Is much feel
ing in Congress that the District has
been illtreated in the failure OF Con-
gress to pass the new appropriation
bill so it could go into effect at the
outset OF the fiscal year and so its
provisions csuld be applied. The fact
that the delay has crippled the
schools has impressed itself on many
members
Will Increase Pay.
II the District bill is hurried to
passage quickly. there will be no
need OF passing a resolution to con-
tinue the old appropriation act an
other month.
One effect of the passage OF the
bill will be to give the District the
two-platoon system for the FIRE de-
partment as soon as the necessary
number of men can be obtained. An
other effect win be to increase the
pay OF the police. The pay of many
District employees and of school
teachers is increased. The salary in
creases. however. will not date back
to July 1, but provision for this is
likely to be made in the irst de-
ficiency appropriation bill.

ARE GUINEAS OR TURKEYS
MORE PROFITABLE?

The February Farm and Fireside
says
"Now that the item Of feed cost
plays such a controlling influence on
poultry production, the feeding habits
of poultry families "a well be stud
led more carefully.
"The turkeys ability to rustic for
a goodly part of it's living after get
ting by the early delicate period con-
stitutes a profit saving factor now
more than ever of Importance. But
some are coming to believe that the
guinea is a better prospect than the
turkey.
"The demand for young guineas
when from two to three months old,
weighing at that age from n to two
pounds, is steadily growing in favor
as. a substitute for game birds, which
are now much less plentiful. These
young guineas bring the grower from
81 to, $1.25 per pair. Sold at. the age
named, they need not cost the grower
for feed over one-fourth to one-third
as much as chickens having the same
market value"

A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT.

A. C. Towney is a remarkable man, and he has done a remarkable thing
several of them in fact A little over two years ago he was without money,
without occupation, and without prospects. He had engaged in several bust
ness enterprises, and had failed in each Of them. He had rolled up a large
result would not have equaed more than two or three mills on the dollar of
his liabilities.
On the stand a. Bismarck the other day, in the bankruptcy proceedings
which he has instituted in order that he may wipe the slate and start all over

League memberships, 100000 at SIG Observation-Disclosures. 100000
Subscriptions to League Exchange 10000
Subscriptions to United Stores 100000
Making a total Of -. $5,79OOO
That is quite a record for a mar who was down and cut two years ago.
But the mere collection of these sums of money, enormous though they are,
is but a part of the achievement. Mr.. Townley has performed the difficult
feat of acting in the dual capacity of boss and hired man. He has testified
that each of the organizations named, and each Of the publishing enterprises
which are conducted az subsidiary enterprises, W. planned and perfected by
himself. When he wanted directors he chose them. When he wanted a treas

about the publishing business, and it was not necessary thai they should. Mr..
Towney could attend to all that himself. And these partners and directors,
picked up from odd concerns, were placed in control of the acts of the man
who had given them their jobs, for Ae testimony was that they could dis
pense with his services whenever they wished.
This mammoth business has all been carried on under the hat of one indi-
