COMPACT TO AVOID BALKAN CONFLICT
A despatch fro'm Varis sags: -
Frame and Britain have agreed to
notify both Greece ad Bulgaria, that
ariother Balkan conflict was} not be
tolerated. A contipuanee of 'hostilities
on the Macedonia frontier, they tear,
would soon resu.lt in thawing in other
nations,
While the Foreign alinistela in
Athens were making heroic efforts to
prevent the border skirznialies that
began on Monday developing into on
actual state of war, news came from
grade that dug° Salvia VMS cone
centrating troops en her frontiers.
Information from Sofia is that the
Council of Ministers was seriously
considering a declaration of war
against Greece. Another report was
that the Bulgarian Government wouli
ask the AlLes for permission to mail-
ize the army. The repeat from Vienna
that Bulgaria had appealed for inter-
vention by the League of Nations Was
not coriarmed in diplomatic channels,
but such anappeal was expected.
It is reported the Greek forceshave
entered Petrich, after bombarding it
most of the day, and that the town
was in flames.
A Greek army consisting of two di-
visions is said to have invaded Bul-
garia, the Sixth. Division coming from

A despatch from Londoti says: -In
both diplomatic and Len,gue yf Na-
tione circles here there is considerable
anxiety aver• the pos$ibiaty a grave
developments whieh iniaht arise from
the Bulger -Greek frontier &AA., The
fear felt here is founded not only on
the instability of the satiation as re-
gards Greece arid Ba:garia themselves
but also on the possibility of compas
cations arising through secretly exert-

_In League quarters here •it is said

jugo-aatvia (Serbia), of course, has
at least a legal interest at the des-slop-

with Greece, it remains in force, lentil

Such a settlement would lead to a new

Weather Indicates Resort
10 Spring Threshing
Regina, Sask., Oct. 25. --Fears are
being expressed by ,farmers that the
wheat now in stock, estimated at be-
tween 70,000,000 and 80,00,00o bush-
els, will liave to be threehed next
spring. Grain experts estimate that
between 80 and 35 per cent. of the
crop is still unthreshed and they de-
clare the present weather eoedifions
indicate spring threshing.
' It is probable that if threshing is
competed this fail that the yield will
be oonsiderably below the 70,000,000
bushel estimate because there will be
considerabe :0,7,5 in threshing.
The 1925 fall is the worst for
threshing within the meatory of grain

are not paralleled hi the history -sof
Fsurope, and certainly not in post-war
diplomacy. No doubt, the soothing
influences' of the weather and scenery
of Southern. Switzerland had much to
do with -this, as did the utter neces-
sity of the situation; but it was still
another, factor that made possible the
agreeinent of Western Powers to out-
law war in Western Europe.
This was the neutral attitude of the
representatives towerd their
--
former enemy, Germany. Europe's
bad boy is now back in the family
circle, with pasts misdemeanors for-
given, in the diplomatic sense. Seine
observers here have analyzed Ger-
many's position as that of being flat-
tered into agreein.g to almost every-
thing placed before it. There is no
question but that Luther'Stresernan
and their delegation have been intoxi-
cated to some degreeby the friendly
attention of their „Aalied coaeagues.
Mention of uttimaturn, and threats
`Of
pressure were rigorously avoided
here. Conditions were different from
those of every other post-war confer-
en'ce at which Germans were present.
Fftie ma-nners, friendly gestures and
strict observance of social etiquette
replaced the old -etre system, and
with the heavenly weather, plus the
absolute knowledge- of every Allied
statesman present that it was peace,
"now or never," the Locarno confer-
ence proved a complete success.
Perhaps, under the foggy October
skies of London or Paris, this confer-
ence would have failed tp produce the
same result.
