BaIkan Control.

balkan Control
The liberation OF Serbia and the
control OF what Is commonly called
''the Balkan situation" are in sight
for the first time since the begin
ming of the war. This Is the view
here of military critics. based on
careful study of the progress made
in the Albanian drive of the French
and Italians.
This drive. in fact. Is the frst
campaign with new objectives since
the failure of the allies in the Dar-
danelles, and denotes broad vision
on the part of Foch. the allied Gen.
eralissimo. Its purpose is two
fold: 1t would strike at Austria's
flank. through her hereditary enemy
Serbia; and it aims at the stability
of the Turkish empire.
Success would be attended by
these things: having captured Berat.
the Italians and French win be in
position to control the road lead
ing south from Nish. the capital of
Serbia. Uskub viii be the next point
of attack. the advance from there
to Nish being easy, it is said. 1t
is taken for granted that Foch will
make possible the recapture of Nish
by continuing to press the Austrians
on the Italian front and thus pre-
vent them from sending reinforce
ments to the Bulgars. and scanty
detachments OF Germans, Austrians
and Turks along the line from Mon
astir to Uskub.
Prosecution Vigorous.
Vigorous prosecution of the Al
banian offensive, it IS declared here,
must undoubtedly result in the re-
entry of Serbia into the contest as
a factor to be considered. Moreover
IL Is regarded as by no means be-
yond the realm OF the probable that,
with vigorous allied action resumed
In the Balkans. war-weary Bulgaria
might be broken up. Roumania
brought back into the fight on the
side of the allies, and Turkey, iso-
lated. forced to sue for peace.

new PLAN TO
COORDINATE
WAR FUNDS
President Indorses Method
Allowing Forecast Of
Contributions.

President Wilson has given his
Endorsement. it is understood. to a
plan for eo-ordinating the various
war funds being raised from time
to time by popular subscription.
The purpose of the coordination
would be to relieve the average
citizen of the embarrassment occa-
stoned by his inability to know IN
advance the various demands that
will be made upon him.
Under the plan approved certain
semi-public war fund campaigns,
such as the Red Cross. which Is
already under government patron
age, the Y. NJ. c. A, the knights Of
Columbus. Young Mems Hebrew AS
sociation, and others would receive
the official Endorsement of the gov
ernment provided they. agreed to
cooperate in such a way that none
of their campaigns would interfere
with any other. and the campaign
of each would be aided by the S,am-
paign organizations of all the
others.
When the government liberty loan
campaigns are on all will be sx-
pected to pitch in and help in the
sale of liberty bonds.}
Reports of Expenditures.
Moreover. each organization would
be required - make public in COM
prehensive eorIn the manner in
which the funds raised are expend-
ed, and at the beginning of the year
the plans of all of them for rails
ing money would be mapped out in
such a way as not to unduly tax the
resources OF the public. At the
beginning Of the year. too, a sched-
ule of the campaigns, with the
amounts to be raised during the
year. would. as near as possible. be
announced. In this way Mr.. Aver
aSe Citizen. eager to help in all
ways possible to the extent of his
ability. would be able to figure out
in advance just what proportion of
his income to set aside for sub
scriptions to liberty bonds and 10
each Of the other funds.
The plans have been discussed in
detail by the President in confer
ences with John r. Mott, interna-
tiOnal president of the Y. NJ. c. A.
and the heads of other organiza-
tions. President Wilson is said to
set much store by the educational
advantages of these various cam
paigns in disseminating the war

To Dedicate Church
OF Christ, Scientist

The new building OF the First
Church of Christ, Scientist. Column
bia Road and Euclid street, north
west, will be dedicated this morn
ing at IL o'clock. The dedication
service will not carry the commu-
nion service. except that a brief his
torica1 sketch will be read by the
First Reader at both the morning
and evening services.
Christian Science Churches are not
dedicated until free from debt. In
the case of First Church, the fact
that its former building was not
disposed of until recently has pre-
vented earlier compliance with this
requirement for dedication.

A committee Of twenty-four. con-

organized by q special agent of the
United States Department of Labor,
sent to New London by Secretary
Of Labor Wilson for the purpose. This
committee Is acting in conjunction
with a special committee appointed
by Governor Holcomb of Connecticut.

The large committee has been sub
divided into four subcommittee, each
headed by a chairman. Each COM
mittee serves one week to hear all
complaints of rent profiteering or
eviction of tenants.
The. plan Is an. unqualified success.
Not a landlord has dared defy public
opinion so far as to refuse to appear
before this committee when sum-
moned. A large number Of cases Of
rent profiteering have been adjusted,
much to the discontinue OF the land

Gov. Holcomb has as one member the
