Sofia, August 31.—Reports from
nonstuntinople that the efforts of
lie German diplomatic representa
Ives there to get Turkey to take an
tctive part in the war as an ally of
Germany and Austria, has created a
lensation here. It is stated officially
hat the Bulgarian government is
>ledged to join with Greece, Ro
uania, Servia and Montenegro as al
ios of Russia and against Turkey
hould the latter decide to fight. The
iulgarian army is semi-mobilized
lid could be put in the field at once,
'hat the German menace is real is
hown by messages received here
roin Constantinople which say the
'urklsii array and navy Is ready for
ction and that most of the Turkish '
iarehips now have a strong contin
ent of German sailors and officers
η board to aid in fighting them.
Cetinje, Aug. 81:—The combined
iritis!» and French fleet have again
laved the Montenegrian position on
at. Lowcen, from which they have
;een reducing the defenses of Cat
aro. On Sunday a force of 10,000 j
tusirians, heavily supported by can
ion, began an assault on the Monte-1
legrin position. They had put two
f the batteries out of commission
.hen the English and Frencli fleet
rrived and imediateiy attacked the'
lustrians. The ships, disregarding,
he chances of floating mines, moved1
lose in shore and shelled the Aus
• Lrians, killing many of them. Prince
I i'eter, of Montenegro, headed a coun
I ter attack of Montenegrins and bril
! liantly charged the Austrian®, smash
ing through their lines, killing many
and taking several hundred prison
! ers. The Montenegrins also took
nearly all of the Austrian cannon and
ammunition and drove the remnant
of the expedition almost into Cattaro.
Kng'land Sends More Mien.
London, August 31—Already Eng
land is pouring more soldiers into
France to take the place of those lost
during last week's lighting and it is
known that Paris is making active
preparations for a siege. The state
ment of l,ord Kitchener telling of
the part the British army plays in
the four days battle has greatly re
lieved the tension in London. His
statement that Sir John French
places the British losses at five to six I
thousand was received calmly. His
previous report which had been clr
lated of serious reverses had led the
public to believe that the losses
might be much greater. The state
ment of the war minister that the
confidence and spirits of army are
unshaken, has revived hope of ulti
mate victory.
Lord Kithener declared that every
gun lost by the British forces has
been replaced and points the number
of troops at last have taken their
place. The retirement of the British
forces was always in good form and
in the face of a vastly superior num
ber of Germans.

So loud were the cries of thirteen

a party living In the vicinity of the

city, for his efforts in saving a man
from drowning here several weeks

YACHT CLUB TO
RACE ON SUNDAY
AU members of the Raritan Yacbt
Club having boats are invited to par
ticipate in the club run to be held
Sunday. The crafts will leave the
club float at 8 o'clock in the morning
and will proceed to Keyport. From
there they will go to Great Kills and
return to this city. A delightful
time is in store for those who will
take part in the run, and the fact
that Nais Macan, Jr., and J. A.
Compton, two of the active members
of the organization, are in charge of
the arrangements assures the success
of the affair. The women will fur
nish lunches and the event promised
to be a delightful informal affair
that will afford the participants a
great deal of pleasure.
Owing to the fact that races are
to be held at Keyport Labor Day, and
some of the Raritan Yacht Club fleet
are entered in those events, the Rar
itan Yacht Club will not hold races
on the holiday.

BENEFIT SHûiS
MIH010B
With a grand program of peerless
acts tlie Nemo theatre opened this
afternoon with a matinee before a
large audience, after the playhouse
had been closed for the summer
season. Tonight eight acts of first
class vaudeville will be given at a
special benefit performance in behalf
of the Lincoln Engine Company. A
five-piece orchestra with an electric
drummer will add to the attractions
tonight.
Tlie performance this evening Is to
raise money to defray the expense
attached to the trip to Harrisburg,
Pa., where the Lincoln Engine Com
pany will go next month to seek
honor for Perth Amboy's fire depart
ment in several competitive contests.
Scores of tickets have been sold
for this benefit performance, and the
public is showing its gratitude for
the work done in the past by these
volunteer firemen by aiding them in
raising money for their trip to Har
risburg. The company feels confi
dent it can win one or more prizes
in the contests at the firemen's con
vention in the Pennsylvania capital,
and want to have as many men in
line at the parade as possible, so
that the demonstration may well
merit the Pacemaking City from
which they will go.
Manager Miller has taken deliber
ate pains to im.ke the matinee per
formances as inviting as the evening
programs. The matinee began at 2
o'clock this afternoon and the even
ing performance will start at 8:30.

It, so heed the above advice and I
you'll thank us for it. There's a j
