so and an armistice was signed be-
tween Bulgaria, Serbia Hnd Montene-
gro on one side and Turkey on the
other on December 3.
Greece refused to sign any armistice
while Janina, the Albanian capital, re-
manned in Turkish hands, and contin-
ued to attack that city. The powers
hurriedly got together in peace con-
ference In London. There was no
coming to terms with the Turk, and on
February 3, 1913, hostilities were re-
sumed. The Greeks captured Janina.
ana the Bulgarians drove In the Tcha-
talja line. A Bulgarian and Serbian
army took Adrianople with the TURK
ish commander and 10000 prisoners.
Scutari in Albania was besieged by
Montenegrin and Serbian army, and
Greek men-of-war in the Adriatic were
cooperating with the troops.
Powers Could Not Agree.
The powers were frantic and could
not agree among themselves. But on
April 10, 1913, another armistice was
signed, and on May 80 the belliGerents
signed at London treaty on peace
with Turkey. By this treaty Turkey
surrendered to the Balkan allies the
island of Crete and all territory on
the European mainland west of the
| Enos-Midia line, and left the ADJUST
| ment of the Albanian frontiers ana the
disposal of the Aegean Islands TO the
powers, which meant that Turkey gave
up all her European possessions ex-
cept Constantinople and the country
Immediately back of it.
But the ink. on the treaty was not
, dry when the Balkan states began
to quarrel with each other over the
spolls.
Thirty days after the treaty of Lon
don had been signed they were all at
| it again. with Roumania now playing
part. The Bulgarians attacked the
Greeks in the Panghaion district and
fought a three days battle with the
Serbians, ending on July 80.
Bulgaria Declares War.
Three days later Bulgaria declared
war against Greece and Serbia, and
Montenegro declared war upon Bulga-
ria. Roumania declared war against
Bulgaria on July 10, and Turkey at
the same time sent IN army forth ana
captured Adrianople without trouble.
! The Bulgarians stubbOrnly resisted
the advance of the Greek army north,
but King Constantine pressed on
toward Sofia. The Montenegrins and
Serbs hurled back the Bulgarians In
the west, and King Ferdinand sued
for peace.
And now a new arrangement of the
beligerent Balkans is in progress.

BEGAN to Shout for France.
On August 5. 1880, while the people
of Holland were supposed to be ceie-
brating the kings birthday. revolu-
tionary piece was performed in the
onera house in Brussels. Stirred by
the dramatic representation the audi

what he considered the spread of
revolutionary spirit, called upon the
other powers to interfere and prom
ised contingent of 10000 troops.
Prussia massed her troops on her west
ern frontier and France announced
that any movement of Prussian troops
into Belgium would be met by a sim
liar movement on the part of the
French. A conference of the five great
powers was then sitting in London to
settle the question of Greece. France
proposed that the Belgian question be
submitted to the conference. The
Polish Instruction, which now broke
out, gave the Gar all he could attend
to at home, Austria was harassed by
the Italian question and Prussia was
fully occupied in guarding her eastern
frontiers. So England and France
were allowed to have their way, which
was the way of Belgian independence.
Failed to Settle Trouble.
The congress of London issued sew

land refused to give up and Belgium
claimed; deputies from that duchy sit
ting in the new national assembly.
Prince Leopold of Coburg was offered
the Belgian crown but refused to ac-
cept it until matters were settled more
to the liking of the Belgians. The
Dutch refused to evacuate Belgium
and a French army marched in, the
Dutch retiring before it.
On November IS, 1881, the represen-
tatives of the great powers and Bel

The province of Limburg was given to
Holland and the boundaries of Belgium

day. The king of the Belgians was
recognized and the neutrality of the
kingdom solemnly guaranteed.

The boundaries which those chronic
dlsturbers of the peace, the Balkan
Stares, had before the recent world
war were established to them by the
treaty of Bucharest signed at the
Roumanian capital on August q, l9l3'
by representatives of the said states
and Greece. That treaty closed two
wars, practically, one in which the Bal
kan states were united in fighting Tur-
key and one in which they were fight
Ing among themselves. By 1910 the
Bulgar and Greek bands in Macedonia,
which had been quite as likely to mas
sacre each other as to massacre the
Turks, had got together for the pur-
pose of devoting all their efforts
against the common enemy. Then
trouble broke out in Albania and the
Serbians sent their irregulars to help
the Albanians against the Turks.
1t was the same old story of the Bal
kans being "aflame" again. In March
of 1912 Greece. Bulgaria. Montenegro
and Serbia came to an understanding,
agreeing to bury their mutual animosi-
ties temporarily and combine against
the Turk. Roumanla stood aloof. The
Porte. alarmed, promised reforms in AL
bania and Macedonia. Turkey also an
nounced that she would told army ma
neuvers near Adrianople.
Began to "DipIomatize."
The great powers began to "diplo-
matize," to prevent war. Germany
and Austria declared that the status
quo In the Balkans must be main
tanned, and Austria modified her
army. But the wild nations of the
Balkans had got out of hand, and
little Montenegro, on October 8, 1912,
declared war against Turkey. On Oc-
tober II Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia
Issued n joint declaration to the same
effect. A Bulgarian army of 100000
men occupied Mustapha Pasha on Oc-
tober 10, Kirk ilisseh on the Oath and
invested Adrianople on the 9th. Two
days later was fought the sanguinary
battle of LuLe Burgas, the chief battle
of the war, with a front of % miles.
In this battle the Turks lost $4,000
killed and wounded and 5000 prison
ers, while the Bulgarians lost $1,000
killed and wounded. The Turks now
fell back upon the Tchatalja forts, the
last line of defense for Constantinople.
Meantime the Serbians had swept
into Macedonia and were driving the
Turks before them with heavy losses,
while one part of their army was sent
TO join the Greeks at Saloniki and an
other detachment to help the Montene-
grins. The Greeks, coming up from
the SOUTH routed the Turks in several
engagements and finally captured Salo-

bran harmless. Farmers should in

by the agricultural college when get

the county agent.
A systematic killing of the grass
hoppers this season will rid the
county of the pest for another year.
Every farmer, therefore, should do
his best to do his share in the fight.
There is no compulsory law making

be patriotic enough to his own COM

Two important building announce

works to be erected Immediately east

Co. plant on Main street, and l.. K.
Thompson, agent for the 500 line

corner of Avenue D and Sixth street.
Both structures are to be completed
by early fall.
Mr.. Sell, proprietor of the Capital
City bottling works, has purchased
the Waldron property, 100 by so feet,
on Main, and will award the contract
for his new building within the next
few days. The structure will be q
fireproof concrete, brick and tile con.
struction, two stories in height and
with a full basement. The plant and
offices will occupy the ground floor
the laboratories will be locatel in
the second floor, and a large, airy
basement will be used for storage
purposes. Mr.. Sell expects when his
new building is finished to have the
most complete and sanitary bottling
works in the northwest, and he plans
to greatly increase his production OF
carbonated beverages and to broaden
his marketing field.
The Thompson apartments on Ave-

for more dwelling space. There will
be five commodious flats, each of five
rooms. The appurtenances will be
thoroughly modern and of the highest

will greatly enhance the value of sur,

Fred Anderson has the contract, and
work will begin at once. There Is to
be full basement, with heating

very attractive, and the building will
be fully up to the high standard
which Bismarck has established In
recent years.

WHITE HOME AFTER

nor of North Dakota, a major of the
First North Dakota during its Philip
pine campaign, and who resigned
place on the state board of regents
to accept command of the Second
North Dakota national guard, upon
it's organization soon after Americas
entry in the world war, is home from
a years active service in France.
Col. Whites commission to command
the Second North Dakota was rather
unusual, inasmuch as it came from
Governor Frazier, whom the veteran
North Dakota fighter had vigorously
opposed in political matters. To his

ate opponents Of the league Of nations
would abandon any plan for the SEN
ate declaration on the subject before
the actual fight for defeat of ratifica-
ton Of the treaty is begun.
Before notice of adjournment was
received it seemed the intention of
senate leaders to press action on the
resolution of Senator Knox, rejecting
the treaty. 1t seems profitable now,
however, that the treaty will be pre-
sented as soon as the recess is over,
and the prediction is that from now
on it will be an out-and-out fight over
