(United Press stuff correspondent.) Snlouica, Nov. 1 (By muil.) Here's the World Wur news center. At last tho stormy little Balkans have come into tho world's eye. Correspondents from nil corners of what used to bo civilization flock here to be near tho groat German push 400 miles north of ui. There are other lesser correspondents hanging around the hotels of Suloniea, mostly qucerly dressed chups with queer hubits and manners, newspaper men from European countries, who have spent their lives in the Bulknns trying to get the busy world interested in their little affairs; men who have lived in queer Balkan cities and have dashed mudly to tho Balkan telegraph offices In times pnst with news items which they themselves thought tremendously important but which were honored with tiny headlines in the newBpupcrs of the world. These Balkan-fan journalists knew that some day the Bnlkans would ex plode. The day has come. The explosion has occurred. At last tho feet of European armies re rounding toe Halkan highways; hu ropean cannon, machine guns and rifles sound through the Ualkan hills and hu ropean spades eat trenches in the Bo I jtan soil. In the Olympus Palace hotel, on the water front, cnthcred around the tiny tubles in the cafes, are the officers of the British, French, KusBian and Urook armies, a meionge or color ana isn ffuaee. And these Balkan journalists Knglisb. French and Itnlian chatter enily, wisely of the great day which has come at last. ' Halonica harbor Is filled with great boats, warships, torpedo boats, hospital ships, and two or three boats which have huge American flngs painted on their aides and which are making smnll fortunes for their owners in running the submarine gauntlet with supplies for the Balkan allies. That busy harbor of itself Is enough to delight the soul of the Balkan journ list. But last evening, just at sun down, came the climax of his excito ment. An aeroplane was snaring over the bay of Suloniea. Behind it, across tho harbor, loomed Mount Olympus, whero the old Greek gods used to live and cut their caporB. Just to see an aeroplane with uiymp us, which hns beeu peaceful and quiet ever since tne gods aieu, as a imcK- round, was enough to prove to the B' nn experts that tho great day really lind come at lust. To top it off, the engine of the aero plane weakened in its stroke, tho ma chine enmo nearer and neurer io me wator. It hud wheels instead of bouts beneath its planes aud when its me mentum was gone and it camo to the surface of the bay, it dug its nose 15 or 20 feet into the wntor, pilot and ail and then stood on end with its tail in the air. Here was a catnstropho of tho World War, right at the foot of Olympus. Th Balkan experts watched the eviators come to the surface into tho half sunk en planes and wait for three tug boats in tho hamor to rusn to mo rescue. Then ther went back to the Olymp us Palace cafo whero the French old timers in the Balkans ordored absinthe which one cannot buy in Paris and the others ordored whiskey and sode. over which they threshed out tho whole problem of tho value of aeroplnnes In Balkan warfare, happy at last to be able to savi "The eyes of tho world are not on the French front or on the Russian front. They are on the Balkans, as I have always said they would be; and here the World War will be threshed out." .

Rockhill came back to his nativo laud December 5, 1EI15. Candy must contain no alcohol, since alcohol is a poison, but if the confection does contain alcohol it must be labeled to this effect, according to the decision of the state supreme court in nn opinion handed down in tho case of H. R. Hoef ler, doing business as "Hoefler's" against J. D. Mickel, state food and dniry commissioner. The apparent con flict, however, is explained by two pro visions of tho pure food laws of the state dealing with adulterations and la beling respectively. One chapter of the law states that enndy must contain none of a list, of certain drugs stimulants and another chapter says that tho state food ,nml dairy commissioner may establish the standard of rum, brandy, or alcohol that candy may eontuin and if any of these ingredients aro put into the candy tho lnbel must state the percentage of alcohol that tho candy contains. In the case before the court this morning it was stated that "Hoefler's Centennial Chocolates," manufactured at Astoria conlaincd 1.05 per cent of alcohol by volume. Mr. Mickel seized some of theso chocolates offered for sale in Multnomah county because tho label did not stato that thev contained alco hol. Hoeflor secured a temporary order re straining Mickel from condemning any moro chocolates but after the argu ment in the circuit court Judge Hen'y l. McGinn decided that the candy vio lated the pure food Tegulntions and the food and dairy commissioner was giv en the right to seize all of the candy he found cliorcd for sulo, Hoefler ap pealed to the supreme court. Justice Burnett in his opinion stated that sinco all toxicologists held alcohol to bo a pawn there was no question that tho enndy containing alcohol was adulterated and therefore in violation of the law. Sinco the label did not stato that tho candy contained adulter ants it was also an infraction of the law relative to misbranding and tl" lower court was upheld in till its Til ings. Tho stato law gives the food and dairy commissioner tho right to estab lish tho amount of rum, brandy or alco hol that may be put in candy but as yet he has made no ruling on this point. A prominent Nulem confectioner said this morning that confectioners in general throughout the state had been using lit tlu or no brandy, in any caudy since the present enso had been under litigation. The Salem candy makers are using none at all. The other enses hunded down by tin supremo court this morning follows: Willinm Miller et nl, appellant, vs. J. H. Weaver, appealed from L'nion county, action for money, opinion by Chief Justice Moore, Circuit Judge Knowles' judgment for defendant af firmed. Oeorgo 8. Bimie ct nl, appellant, vs. City of I.nOrande, involving the va lidity of a street improvement, opinion by Justice Bean, Circuit Judgo Knowles reversed. Petitions for rehearing were denied in Rugenstein vs. Oppenheimer, liny nos Commercial company vs. Grabill, Coolev vs. Hnako River District Improvement company. Of course Astoria's now veh'ulo tax ordinance does not include baby car riages. .
