Reluctant to break with Germany

reaching the end of her tether."
wrote the London Times diplomatic
correspondent, who formerly was
stationed in Sofia, the Bulgarian
capital.
The actual end can hardly be
expected to precede the general
Allied assault on the Balkans" he
added, but it is certain that present
conditions in Bulgaria have greatly

Organize an old fashioned

Longstaff's suggestion w a S
made TO fellow city commission
ers last night when City Clerk

few plows are available for use
this spring.
To stimulate interest in gar
dening, Matthews offered to take
on City Attorney Bert V. Nun
ncley at the first official spad-
ing bee. Nunneley accepted,
specifying the match should be
at catch weights.
If you can't spade or loathe
exercise, at least two plows will
be available but you'll have to
pay for the work. Earlier, the
commission had decided the city
would pay the shot.
