BARBER TURNS FAN
ON WARM KIDDlES

Relief and amusement were Afforded
a number OF children by a barber on
the west side yesterday afternoon, when
the thermometer was registering i05.
Business being dull at that particular
hour. the barber invited the children
into his shop to enjoy the breeze fur
nlshed by his electric fan.
FIRST Of all, the barber moved the
fan, so that IL would play" directly
over the center Of tbs shop, and then
he invited the kiddies 70 enter. At
first they hung back. because many
feared he wanted to corral them and
shave their heads or some other ter
rlble" thing But his smile enticed
them inside. Then he directed them
in various games. that did not require
much exercise, ana for three hours
the kiddles played cool and comfort
able. while the sun and humidity ragged
about on the outside.
The act Of the barber was brought
70 the attention Of the Womens Com
mittee OF the State Defense Council,
and il was suggested that the ex-
ample, in other ways, would be a

WARNS ENTENTE
OF BULGAR Peace
Trying to Gain Territory by
Double-Faced Negotia-
tions, Greek Says
WARNS AGAINST
INSANE BARGAIN

ATHENS, Aug. S.-Bulgaria is en-
gagged in a peace offensive synchronlz-
ing with the German movement in the
same direction, according TO Alexander
Karapanos, former Minister Of Foreign
Affairs. She is playing particularly
upon the friendly sentiment existent,
at least in the past, in Great Britain
and the United States, he asserted.
"The rumor Of a possible about-face
on the part OF Bulgaria have been con-
flrmed by NJ. Michalapopoulos, our
Minister Of Agriculture, who has re-
turned from London, whittier he went
an a special mission" says Karapanos
In an interview printed In the, ,Messen-
ger OF this city. Bulgaria Is employ
Ing her old method Of blackmailing her
allies in order TO obtain the largest
possible sections OF the territories OF
her neighbOrs and is exploiting tho
eternal phllo-Bulgar Illusion in Amer
lea and England a proceeding which
has been employed particularly Of
late"
NJ. Karspanos recalls the "deplorable
consequences OF the volcanic Illusions
among The Entente nations in the past.
which weakened the confidence OF
Greece In the Entente. He says:
Three years Of war have shown
clearly the artful and brutal policy Of
Bulgaria, as well as her ardent mill
tarism, the purpose Of which Is 10 ac-
complish destruction and TO gain ulti-
mate dominion by violence. 10 is 10 be
hoped that by this time the powers
know how 10 appreciate at its true
value the pretended repentance OF Bull
garia'
He lays stress on the necessity for
the small Balkan allies seeing this
question clarified.
Il believe" he continues, that in
terpret the ardent wish OF the Greek
people that Il be no longer permitted
to catch a glimpse OF the unhappy
possibility OF an insane bargaining TO
assure the predomlnance Of a predatory
race which already holds under its
talons Greek. Rumainian, and Serbian
populations. One must not forget that
the Greek army, receiving REINFORCE
ments daily. is lighting on the Mace
donian front 20 revenge the innumer-
able victims Of Bulgarian atrocities
and the destruction OF Greek communi-
ties in Bulgaria"
N. Karapanos speaks In favor OF
diplomatic action to clarity the opinion
OF the Allies on the necessities for the
existence Of the Hellenic race and the
aims Of Greece In this war. He says
that the Allies are at present insult
ciently informed concerning the rights
Of the Greeks.
"The aims Of the Greeks" he says,
ARE inspired. not by egotism. but by
the necessities OF the existence OF
Greece and her independence in the
Of nations"
In conclusion NJ. Ksrspanos expresses
ihe conviction that the rights Of Greece
and the equitable disposition Of me
Allies guarantee that she will be freed
rom all danger.
