This is the first indication of any
move of Bulgaria to approach her en-
emies with conciliatory proposals.
News of the premier's desire might
ordinarily be considered in a broad
way to amount to revolutionary act,
and possibly points to the execution
of coup d'etat in Sofia.

Paris, Aug. 16.-The French have
made an important advance on front
of two and one-half miles west of
Roye in the region of Villers les Roye,
St. Aurain and Armancourt.
German losses during the four years
of war are understood to be 100000,

These include 100000 killed up to
the beginning of the March often

Between then and June II the Ger

MILLING COMP AMY
FOUND GUILTY Of
LAW
Imperial Judge Gives Los Angeles
Co. $500 Fine for Selling Packages
of Cereals Which Werer Found to
BE Short in Weight.

Found guilty on two counts of a
violation of the state net container
law, the Globe Grain and Milling Com
pany of Los Angeles was assessed a
stiff fine of $3.50 on each count
through decision rendered this II orn-
ing by Judge Smith of Imperial.
In reaching his decision, the court
found that the greater part of a ship
ment of 5000 packages of cornmeal
and graham flour shipped to Ell Cen
tro and sold to the Modern Grocery
and Warney Brothers was short from
z to Is per cent in the advertised
weight. These shipments were seized
last spring by John H. Martin, rep
resenting the State Department of
Weights and Measures.
Although the case was bitterly
fought, Judge Smith disregarded eX-
pert testimony introduced by the de-
fendant corporation to the effect that
the heat had caused the shrinkage of
the packages and that they left the
sacks with full and honest weight.
The states representatives were es-
pecially pleased with the heavy fine
imposed, as the investigation and
prosecution of the case has been very
expensive. The fine is one of the
heaviest imposed for a similar offense
in the courts of this county.

Globe Mills while District Attorney
Galen Nichols handled the prosecution.
