line In th Balkan negotiations, may

Despatches from Bucharest and Sofia
tarty today said the greatest alarm ha
pern cauatd there by news that (he
Austrian have returned the ortenslve on
(he Servian frontier, preliminary to nn
Auatro-Qermnn drive through the Bal

manian nnd Bulgarian diplomats hero
fear audi a rriov threatens the national
fexlstence of their countries and are
Watching developments near Belgrade
jvlth the greatest anxiety.
Both the Greek and Servian Parliaments
pxtt today. The decisions they lire to
rnak. poitby within the next fdrtnlgnt,
probably wilt settle the fate of the Balkan
States and will have a tremendous In
fluence on the outcome of tho world wr.
trhe meeting of the Rumanian Crown
Council at Bucharest yesterday was an
other Incident of greatest Importance In
the Balkan situation.
Within the last few days there has
been an active exchange of view be
tween Beryl and Greece. Despite con
trary report from Nlfh, diplomats here
believe Servla Is ready to miike Im
portant concessions to obtain Bulgaria's
participation In the witr. Ex-Premier
VenieIo, who comes Into power at
Athena this week, has remained silent
regarding htf program, hilt the allied
kovernmentp are hoping he will over
pome the opposition to the Bulgarian con
cessions on trje part of Greece removing
the last obstacle to the renewal of the
Balkan alliance.
Three element ontirlntf Into tho situa
tion aro coUntod upon by the representa
tives of the Allies here to force the Bal

within a. fortnluht. Thev are: The cer

time for Intervention! the fact that the
Allies nave jancita reinrorcoments ana
Six. men (scaped from the Camden
County Workhouse, known as the "pick

their cells, crossing a Urge dump under
fire from the watchman and scaling a
high picket fence. They then Mattered
ami disappeared In the meadows
The prisoners were John Moore, Oeorge
Berman. Thomas Cooke, John Rellly,
James Duffy arid John Bweeney Each
was serving a sentence or au uays im
posed by Recorder BtackhoUse InM week
on charges of being drunk arid disorderly
According to the 30 other prisoners In
the workhouse, the six men late Inst
night fussed around word that they had
obtained file And could release oviry
prlponer. Each prisoner was urged to
Join In a general Jail delivery,
Thirty of the M prisoners declined to
Join In tho plan, This delayed the escape
Of tho Six They worked all nlgllt on
the bars of their cells About dawn this
morning they was clear Into Hip plant.

freedom,
All the ferries to this city arc being
watched today by the police. Several de

Chief Bayres, of that department, made
an Investigation of tho flight. He denied
that the men had filed through any Iron

"They iverc only a few drunks," said
Mr. Sayres, "no paVen't a tight Jail out

Police Head Reassures Drivers
Thoy Will Not Be Molested
During Bond Negotiations
Director Porter told members 'of the
Philadelphia JltnOy Asoclatlon today that
they could assure the bonding company
It need have nq fear of being harassed
by the Department of Public Safety If
arrangements tor the 12500 bond required
of them In ordinance Injunction contest
are corppleted
The Director, at a conference with the
Jltneure, said that the police authorities
would regard Oie Jitney men In the same
manlier as thcV have heretofore and that
all broaches of the law would be treated
according to the usual custom In such,
matter?. If fines are Imposed, he said,
they will be collected In the usual way,
and the bonding company will not bo
Inconvenienced by any attempt to hold
them responsible for such .petty matters,
Tho director Informed tho Jitneymen
that tho dopartment could take no action
detrimental to them, with regard to tbo
zone ordinance passed by Councils, a
Judge Sulzberger hod not vacated tho
ordinance affecting this phase of the ques
tion and that disregard of his action
would constitute contempt of court. He
said the binding company would be tUn
ning no rsk In Issuing tho bond, as far
as this clause Is concerned, and paid that
no attempt could be made to enforce It.
It la tho general belief that the InJunc
t9n will stand permanently and the at
tempt of Councils to Impose rone restric
tion will not bo attended with success.
Despite the assurance of Director Per.
ter the Jitney men will hold a confer
ence with City Solicitor Ryan today for
the purpose of hearing exactly what the
legal statu of the bond Is from the
head of tho law department of the city
In Order that there will be no mistake
later. The, Jitney men will ask the City
Solicitor exactly what part of the or
dinance, as passed by Councils, Is exempt
from enforcement.
The JUneura learned from Director Por
ter today that each man who obtains a
bond will be given a badge by the Po.
llqe Department, and that every driver
of th 6-cent transportation vehicles will
be driven from the streets unless he has
such a badge.
The bonding company will advise the
3,iPi,ym.!n t1?1mr,rw. it la expected, what

Allies:
"Tho Government of the United States
la surprised to find the Imperial
and Itoyal Government Implying that the
observance pf tho strict principles of the
law under the conditions which have de
veloped In tho present war Is Insufficient.
"To this a&sertlon of an obligation to
change or modify the rules of Interna
tional usogo on account ot special condi
tions the Government of the United
States cannot decede
"It is pertinent to direct the attention
of the Itriporlal and Hoyal Government
to the fadt that Austrta-HUngary and
Germany, particularly tho latter, hdve
during tho years preceding the present
European war produced a great surplus
of arm and ammunition, whlph they
sold throughout the world, and especially
to belligerents Never dUrlng that period

principle now advocated by the Imperial

It Is known that AUstrla-HUngary also
sold similar munitions to tbe same pur
chaser. "Th? United States haa always de
pended upon tho right and power to pur
chase arms and ammunition from neutral
nations In case of foreign attack. This
right, which it claims for Itself, It can
not deny to others.
"The general adoption by the nations
of tho world of tho theory that neutral
Powers ought to prohibit the aalo of
arrns apd ammunition to belligerents
would result In every nation be
coming an armed camp, ready to resist
aggression and tempted to employ force
in asserting its right rather than appeal
