INEXPERT ELVEW Or $
Now York, Aug. 14. Peace suggestion hare been-persistent throughout
the week. They have all originated from German and Vatican -sources and
have met with no encouragement 'from, the Quadruple entente. It is apparent
that the Teutonic powers being top dogs in continental Europe are willing
enough to agree to a true, but the other belligerents do not believe terms can
yet be; arranged in any way satisfactory to themselves. .
It would be a' mistake to believe that Germany's peace overtures Indicate
an approaching exhaustion of " the Teutonic countries". Nevertheless, the other
extreme as well must be eliminated. German successes in Russia do not in
spire the thrills of emotion among bystanders that usually follow a; toard won
and decisive victory; the cost to Germany among ner. youngr men is too great
at a time when Germany's western rivals are conserving their own males.
! . There Are Ho" Conquerors as Tet.
While the Germans are top dogs on land, their grip is too uncertain for
them to off er to discuss peace as conquerors. Z
There are as yet, no conquerors anywhere.
. Coincidentally with the week's peace talk, the allies have re-doubled their
efforts to persuade Bulgaria to Join them in the campaign against Constanti
nople. The salt in the Constantinople campaign, in fact, is probably the most
important single reason .why the allies will accept no peace for the present
Constantinople must fall first to preserve, a proper military balance in
Europe.
Bulgaria Js willing to declare war against the Turkish forces if Serbia
restores to her Serbian Macedonia, -tehabite largely by Bulgarians. Serbia
wants northern Albania in exchange with a outlet on the Adriatic. This Italy
has not agreed to; and so has begun the intricate play of national Jealousies
which will become much more acute when detailed, peace proposals for ending
the war are finally stated.
Serbia Hot Being Coerced.
the quadruple entente has not yet failed to treat Serbia as a full sovereign
power. The Serbians are not being coerced into granting. Bulgaria's demands;
and although Serbia's present obstinacy is detrimental to the interests of the
powers, the precedent so ruthlessly established in Belgium has not been fol
lowed by the allies at NIsh.
The Teutons have advanced during the week against the Russian center
east of Warsaw, but no pr&gress has been made along the flanks. The Rus
sians are holding fast against Marshal von Macke'nsen in the south and Mar
shal; von Hindenburg in the north. The success of the Russians in checking
von Hindenburg has been very striking. Von Hindenburg's headquarters dur
ing the present operations were revealed this week for the first time. He has
played no part in the actual capture of Warsaw, but is directing the northern
offensive. Early in the week he was mentioned as blocking a Russian advance
toward Riga and Mitau; later he had been compelled to move further south
and direct the assault being made on the fortress of Kovno.
It is probable von Hindenburg has been given the most difficult task of
all in the present supreme effort to force
Also it is apparent that as yet, be has railed to accompiisn anyimng or major
importance. His efforts to turn the Russian flank have failed, and his own
flank is in a dangerous zone of its own. There seems no doubt but that the
Teutons are now facing an ammunition shortage, and their Russian plans, in
consequence, are not developing as they ought. . ? s
BALKAN PUZZLE PUTS
LONDON- ON EDGE: ALL
Greece Calls 1915 Reserves
and Venizelos May Have
Won Over Constantine,
London, Aug. 14. (U. P.) Contra
dictory dispatches trom Balkan capi
tals tonight threw the diplomatic situ
ation revolving about Bulgaria's pos
sible entry into the war into a .deep
puzzle.
With the Greek parliament soon to
convene the Greek government today
called recruits of the 1915 class to
the colers. No explanation accom
panied this move but official circles
professed to believe that ex-Premier
Venizelos, shortly to come to power,
may have won over King Constantine
to a program that included the coding
of Grecian Macedonia to Bulgaria, in
return for a promise "of possession of
Smyrna, and the Joint entrance of
Bulgaria and Greece into the war. on
the side of the allies.
Equally puzaling was the news from
Bucharest that all munitions works
have been ordered to prepare lists of
available workers and estimates of the
amount of ammunition they could sup
ply the Roumanian army on a fort
night's notice. At Bucharest it was
stated that this was merely a precau
tionary measure, but the news aroused
fresh hopes here that Roumania may
eventually abandon her neutrality.
On the otner hand, there was noth
ing in the dispatches from Nish today
to indicate that the allied diplomats
have been successful in persuading
Cerbia to make the concessions Bul
garia demand- tor making war on
Turkey.
Roumania to Sell Oil.
Bucharest, Aug. 14. (I. N. S.) The
minister of finance announces that the
exportation of petroleum from Rou
mania is no longer prohibited, but will
be subjected to the closest inspection
to prevent the movement of arms and
munitions across the border.
Bulgaria recently removed the em
bargo on the exportation of wheat and
other foodstuffs. Roumania now re
moves the embargo on petroleum of
which she is a large producer. The
bulk of these products will.

large supplies of a new kind of wire
