OREGON WEATHER '- Tonight and Saturday occa- slonal rain west, rain or snow eastern portion; southerly winds. ! . CANDIDATES ARE APPEARINQ. i 'Things politically ! have been de veloping pretty rapidly the past 24 hours, and nominating petitions are seen en about' every street corner. , For mayor the twteet Is about to "resolve ltseil Into a battle of ballots between Dr. J. P. Truax and Council man' G.'M. Caldwell Petitions tor 'each are in circulation, and It Is un derstood that each, has agreed with .his sponsors to make the race. . Mr. Caldwell's term as councilman from the 'first ward Expires en the first of the year; and becoming a can dldate for mayor leaves an opening there for a new candidate. Petitions for two; A. L. Edgerton and W. A. Taddock, are out for Caldwell's seat. ' Councilman Herman Is the holdover In this ward. In the second ward Councilman Demaray Is to be a nominee for re election. Fred Isham Is also being brought forward tor the office. Atchi son holds over in this ward. ' Councilman Davis is seeking re election in the third ward, with the place being contested for by Wm. Bunch. Burkhalter holds over.'. The term of office of Wm. Trimble expires in the fourth ward, and a petition for his renomination Is in circulation.' Otto J. Knlps b also be ing placed In nomination by the peti tion route. Councilman Burke holds over from this ward. v No burning Issues seem to have developed over the campaign as yet. though there promises to toe plenty of "pep" Injected Into the election 'regardless. ' The time for the filing of nominating petitions will close Saturday night. Paris, Nov. 19. King Constantino of Greece will be given but little more time in which to decide wheth er to cast his lot with Germany or with the allies. . Unless he openly allies himself on the allies' side in passive of active co-operation and gives desired assur ances that he will not intern any al lied ' refugees, the allies will take speedy action- against him, it was believed here today. Not only is Constantlue's present attitude regarded aa dangerous to the allies' campaign in the-Balkans, but there are disquieting reports of a Graeco-Bulgar agreement, together with a possibility that Roumanla also will Join the central powers. In these circumstances officials are not inclined to temporise. Delay and uncertainty are merely hindering the Balkan operations and If Greece re fuses to give-: the non-interference guarantees the allies' plans and suc cesses will be admittedly greatly Jeopardised. To prevent such an outcome, strong pressure Is being brought to bear against King Con stantino, presumably wtth a threat that action of the most drastic sort will follow any attempt to evade the allies' demands or to swing into the Geraanio alliance. v THE END 13 NEAR. Any day now the projectors of the sugar beet factory may call upon the people of the valley to lay their cards npon the table. They will say that the time has come when they1 must know whether or not the necessary '6,000 acres are guaranteed.' When that time arrives it will depend upon the acreage represented In the con tracts whether or not the factory will be bulR at all, .and also upon the location If It U to be built. There can be no more delay, for the con struction of a factory representing nearly a million of dollars Is not a ' matter of a few days. 1 That the Im portance of the condition is thorough ly realized by the people of this dis trict la made evident from the inter est all are now taking' In the' cam paign. There is yet a long way to go before Grants Pass is assured half . the required acreage in the entire valley, it being up- to this district to ' get at least half if we wish to be counted a factor when the selection of location is considered. The min utes are now valuable. ALLIES UNABLE i . . .. -.-n TO AID SERBIANS r NOV HEAR DEFEAT . Athens. Nov. 19. Allied troops bravely tried today to distract the Bulgars from their southeastern Ser bian campaign, . where they are sweeping everything before them. ' The French hurled strong groups against the Bulgars on the Vardar river. Already they have been some what successful,, but it la feared here that they are not numerous enough to follow their advantage. They have' repeatedly requested that rein forcements be sent them. Numerous forces were reported to be at Sal onikl, but the problem of getting them to the scene of the fighting In time makes the situation dubious. The Vardar river contest is raging desperately. The Bulgars have been driven across the stream by French artillery, which more than offset the question of numbers. Meantime the British are still hammering at Strumnltza in a stub born battle. ' While these struggles remain in doubt, Serb refugees are streaming over the Grecian boundary. Throughout Serbia the defenders' forces are hard pressed. The central powers and the Bulgars are sweeping the defenders rapidly out and cap turing them in fresh thousands daily, "(By United Press Leased Wire) Salem, Nov. 19.
