Than Last Year, 3+ 97 BOYS ARE REGISTERED AT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Increase Due to Compulsory Educa- tion Law and to Industrial Work.

The building is very crowded this year and class rooms had to be turned into additional assembly rooms. 97 Boys at Junior High. There are 97 boys and 102 girls in the junior high school this year during the month of September. This is a very good record for the boys, whose attendance is usually very much decreased after the sixth grade. Superintendent W. P. Dyer this morning attributed the large attend- ance of the boys to the compulsory educational law making every boy go to school until he is 16 years of age, and also to the industrial work which is being taught at the school. 132 in First Grade. There are 132 children in the first grades in the city school.

GREECE MAY REMAIN NEUTRAL, IS BELIEF Austro-German Army of 400,000 Men March Aagainat Serbia. London, Oct. 8.—Russia is re- ported to have opened hostilities against Bulgaria by a bombardment of the port of Varna. This informa- tion is contained in an Amsterdam dispatch received here which says the Cologne Gazette is authority for the statement that “two Russian cruisers are actively bombarding the Bulgarian port of Varna.” To Assist Serbia. This news follows the beginning in earnest of the long threatened Austro-German offensive in the Balk- ans. Almost simultaneously with the rupture of diplomatic relations between Sofia and the entente pow- ers, an Austro-German army, esti- mated at 400,000 men, with an en- ormous weight of artillery, started to attack Serbia from the north and west, and, according to the Berlin official report, crossed the Driga, Danube and Save at many points and firmly established itself on the Serbia side. The Anglo-French troops,” which were landed at Salonici with the tacit consent of the Greek government, are being hurried northward to assist Serbia, and if possible keep the Pul- garians from capturing the Sllohlc< Nish railroad, the only so\n-ca by way of which the Serbians cqp bq (gd with munitions of war. Greece Neutral. The ‘hope for support from Greece has not been forthcoming, King 00‘;1 Venizelos having shown that while his" countfy sympathizes with ~the causge ‘of the allies, he is not prepared to go against the central powers or to fulfill the obligation of the Greco- Serbian treaty of allianee, which pro- . vides that one ally must go to the assistance of the other in case of at- tack. A new Greek cabinet composed of men of pro-German and pro-ally sympathies has been appointed, and the expectation now is that-unless public opinion forces the hand of the government and insists on action on the side of the allies, Greece will re- main neutral. . * Can’t Join Teutons. It is hardly conceivable to the en- tente diplomdts that Greece will go over to the central powers, for, they point out, Bulgaria is known to covet some of her territory and the treat- ment of Greek nationals in Turkey makes it virtually impossible for her to become the ally of that. county. As in Greece, public opinion in Bulgaria is not entirely unanimous in support of King Ferdinand, and reports indicate that the Bulgarian mobilization is not being carried out without difficulty. The king .and premier, however, have thrown their lot with Austria, Germany and Tur- key, having after consultation with the ministers of those countries re- jected the demands of Russia for the dismissal of the Austro-German offi- cers who, it is alleged, have been en- gaged to command the Bulgarian army.

JOINS SO THAT PEOPLE WILL UNITE Berlin, Oct. 8.—Newspapers here this morning printed the Bulgarian manifesto, in which it was declared that Bulgaria joined the Teutonic forces only- because by this move can all Bulgarian people be united.’ ASSOCIATED GHARITIES T0 HOLD MEETING '“The annual meeting of the Asso- ciated Charities will take place this h, at the library building.
