One (if the main illfncultles In the way
of a solution of the Ualknn problem fa
vorable to the kntcnto Allies has ben
nettled, according to an Interview with
r-rtmler I'achltch of Bervln, In the "Cor
rlere Delia Sere." The rremler li quoted
as aa)njc that Servla hue Riven way to
Italy regardlne Albania.
rremler rvtchitch went over severar
phases qt the prcient situation, declaring
that Austria had tried several times since
the bcRlnnlnn of the war to conclude a
separate peace with Bervln.
The Inaction of the Berrlan army, the
Premier said, was due to sanitary con
dition, and the necessity for reorgani
sation and the accumulation of war sup
rile When tha moment came, he de
clared, the Bervlan army, would right
steadfastly and In accord with the armies
or Servla'e allies, true to the principle
of Hie Dalkann for the Balkan people
pervln has been endeavoring over since
the beginning of the war to reach nn
agreement with Bulgaria, and was trying
to do so now, the Premier said, en a basis
conserving the vital Interests or botn
countries, As for Albania, the Premier
Is quoted, Servla bowed to the decision
of Europe and wished a friendly solution
of the Adriatic question with Italy, ac
knowledging the predominant position of
Itkly In that field
An agreement had Just been reached,
the Premier added, for Servla to send
to Italy Austrian prisoners of Italian na
tionality In exchange for prisoners of
Slavic nationalities taken from Austria
, by Italy.
In June, 1913. when the second Ualkan
war was brought to a close, the Euro
pean Powers made Albania, an Inde
pendent kingdom, with Prince William,
of Wled, as King. The prince, however,
was unable to pacify the turbulent tribes
men, and. In May, 1911, he fled the coun
try. Since the beginning of tho European
war the flags of several of tho neigh
boring countries have been hoisted on
Albanian Italy last fall occupied tho
Albanian town of Viilona, on the Adriatic,
while the Greeks took territory In llplrus.
Servian troops marched across the coun
,try and assumed control of Durazzo, an
other outlet Into the Adriatic, while
Montenegro occupied the northern town
of Bcrutarl
According to recent semlolllclal Servian
information. It was stated that Servla
had accepted tho conditions of the Al
lies and would consent to the occupation
of Macedonia by the Allies in exchango
for a section qf the Dalmatian coast and
adjacent Islands, and the partition of
Albania with Oreece.SvIth the exception
of Valona, which was to remain Italian.
The Interview with Premier Pachltch In
dicates that tho Servian Government has
granted further concessions In Albania
to Italy.

qucsto proposlto nnzl si fa notare che la

concertata tra 1'Italta e le nazlonl allcato
sin dall'epoca delta vlsita del generate

EXPERTS HUNT REASON
OF HIGH PRICES IN CITY
DESPITE HUGE CROPS
Producers, Consumers and Mid
dlemen in Byberry Confer
ence Would Lenrn Who
Gets Big Profits
FRUIT ROTS ON TREES
Hundreds of agricultural experts, col
lege representatives, fnrmors, commission
men, retailers, bnnkers nnd consumers
met nt an economic conference at tho
Byberry City Farms, Somcrton, Ta., to
day to find out why the consumer Is pay
ing high prices for fruits nnd vegetables
though crops are so large that fatmcrs
are facing ruin, because tho prices offered
by wholesalers will not warrant tho gath
ering of their products. The conference,
held under the auspices of tho Philadel
phia Vegetnblo Growers' Association, will
continue tomorrow.
Three-fourths of the hog cholera In tho
United States the farmers were told, was
duo to carelessness In feeding. Superin
tendent Bowman, of the n berry Farms,
made this statement. He lectured on
hogs on the big lawn of the farms. Two
prize hog specimens were examined there
by thoso attending the conference.
Professor Tomhade urged farmers to
be sure to boll all food given hojs, and
held that exercise for hogH Is Just as es
sential as for other live stock. He nlso
said hogs should be fed regularly thrco
times a day. The price of hogs paid by
the farmer will Increase this winter, In
his opinion, owing- to nn Increase n tho
demand for byproducts.
Today was devoted to open discussion.
Piomlnent delegates outlined the bltuatlon
and asked for suggestions for the solu
tion of the problems confronting the
farmer and consumer. Tho great question
to be answered and the onu which is en
gaging the attention of the delegates Is
why fruits and vegetables are allowed to
rot on the giound In many parts of Penn
sylvania nnd New Jersey while Philadel
phia consumers are paying high prices
for produce. Ilepret-entatlves of all
classes of persons Interested In fnrmlng
gave their views and discussed the phases
of tho situation with which they ale
familiar. The subject was discussed ana
lytically, with every ono who handles
fruit and vegetables from the tlmo they
leave the orchard or garden until the time
they reach the dining room taking his
part. A record of the discussions was
kept.
PROTECTION WANTED.
Tho farmers said that they were seek
ing tho means of protection by which
they can get a reasonable price for their
goods. Tho consumers wero mostly of
tho opinion that the middleman Is to
blame. Some of tho radical delegates
favored eliminating tho middleman alto
gether, whllo others contended that he
Is necessary to perform certain indis
pensable duties, and that he must con
tinue. Tho status of the middleman
promises to be the storm center of tho
conference.
Howard W. Selby, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers' Asso
ciation, Is scheduled to present to tho,
conference today the plan of forming co
operative societies by produce growers In
each district. In this way they can de
mand a fair price from the commission
merchant, or, if necessary, place their
goods on the market themselves.

HEIGHTS IN WORLD OF ART
Restaurant Patrons Prized More for the Literary Gifts
They Confer Than for the Tips Heretofore
So Gladly Welcomed
Do not be surprised If your waiter ap
pears nt jour table disguised In a pair
of tortoise shell glasses. Just look wise
nnd say nothing. It Is part of the
literary movement on foot among the
men who carry your food from the
kitchen and place It before you.
Soon Philadelphia waiters will have
reached n degree of learning which will
put college professors to shame. If this
Is something of an exaggeraalon blame It
on the "garcons." At any rate, they
will make the waiters of Boston, far
famed for their culture, look like thirty
cents, as the waiters themselves would
not say It Is too unrefined nn expres
sion. Self Improvement Is tho wntchword.
It Is safe now to Btnrt nn argument with
tho man who eerves your dinner on any
subject from the Bacon-Shakespeare
controversy to the meaning of the In
scriptions on tho rtosetta stone. A few
remarks about the' fourth dimension
might also Insure better service.
The old materialistic viewpoint of the
wnlter, who only cared for his tip, Is a
thing of tho past. Any up-to-date gar
con would have the man he serves help
fill his mind rather than his pocketbook.
KINDRED LITERARY SPIRITS.
A person cf Intellect needs never feel
lonesome because ho has no company at
table with him. Drop a hint that your
soul has been perplexed trying to deter
mine whether Milton'n "Paradise Lost"
Is a greater poem than Dante's "Inferno"
and you will, In all probability, discover
that you have found n kindred spirit In
the person of the waiter. He will let other
customers wait, no matter how hungry
they may be, for such n problem will
have to be threshed out. Of course, If
you were discussing some practical ques
tion such as the cost of making a thousand-mile

Informed, the waiter would get Into
trouble. The head waiter wouldn't stand
for It. But If It were a literary discus
sion well that would be something dif
ferent, again.
Strange as It may seem, however, this
educational mania will have ono practi
cal effect. It will no longer be excusable
for the waiter to pass a piece of bread
In his haijd, or stick his Anger In the
coffee to Bee If It Is hot. For the mental
Improvement campaign Is being directed
also along snnltary lines.
NEW CLUBHOUSE IN PROSPECT
The other dny the Philadelphia Branch
of tho International Geneva Association,
which Is a world-wide organization of
hotel nnd restnurant employes, applied
for a charter. It was stated that tho
waiters are going to open a line club
house, where lectures can be held and
where tho members of the association
may sit In comfort nnd read the Atlantic
Monthly or North American Review,
They havo clubrooms now nt 1436 South
Penn square, but the lease expires In
October nnd the nssociatlon must move.
They are going to have a liner clubhouse
than ever before. And they will have
more lectures nnd more magazines, nnd
more and better books.
One of tho purposes of tho organiza
tion as stated In tho charter application,
I j to promote friendship among the
waiters. Lest this bo misconstrued,
William Kalles, or 14S North 6M street,
president of tho association here, denied
that there was anything llko enmity
nmong the members. Only, he explained,
they want to be more friendly
All nationalities aro represented In tho
personnel of the membership, and for
this reason they never discuss tho war.
And for the same reason, they never per
mit a speech In any other language than
Kngllsh. For where neutrality Is bliss,
they say, 'tis folly to be hyphenated.
DISCOVER OCEAN'S "ENTRANCE"
Excursionists Seek Atlantic Via Beach
Hospital Tent
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 2I.-OIT1-clnl
entrance to the Atlantic Ocean has
been discovered here. Excursionists from
Altoona, here on their first visit, aro
responsible.
The city maintains a big tent nt the
foot of South Carolina avenue as a beach
hospital, where bathers In need of medi
cal attention are treated. It nlso Is the
headquarters of Chief Surgeon Charles
Bosseit. This tent Is between the Board
walk and the ocean.
Altooi.a citizens came hero on nn ex
cursion yesterday. They didn't know a
wholo lot about the beach and ocean, for
few had seen It before.
Dr. Fritz Hartman, assistant to Chief
Bossert, ljusy treating an injured bather,
saw half a hundred excursionists troop
ing through tho tent.
"Say. whnt's the Idea?" he asked.
"Ain't this the entrance to the ocean?"
questioned one of the crowd, Innocently.

OCEAN CITI", N. J., Aug. 24. Excite
ment was caused Saturday morning
among tho fishermen here when a huge
salinsh, measuring 7514 Inches lo length,
was seen floundering in the nets. From
the Uorsat fin to the silvery grny belly
the fish was eolorod a brilliant indigo
and Its great beauty attracted the net
ters. The fishermen were unable to name
the specimen as none had ever been
seen on tne jersey const Dciorc nui
until several hours later wan the fish
named, whon two of the fishing clubs
members who had caught salinsh oft the
Florida coast, Identified It.
Kvcn In tho warmer wnters off Palm
Beach the sallfish Is rare nnd seldom are
the members of the Sallfish Club nt that
resort rewarded with a catch. However,
Its wonderful game qualities nnd Its
ability to put up n severe battle, makes
It much sought after.
Nnture has endowed the flsh with won
derful speed possibilities. Built on the
lines of a racing yacht, It Is very slen
der. A deep blue sail nlmost tnrec icei
high, and two black spines, two feet long,
suspended on tho lower hnlf of the body,
mako It a wonderfully speedy Msh.
It Is found In the Indian ucenn ana on
thn r-nimt nf Florida In the Gulf Stream.
The only other time this fish has been
reported In these waters was In 1872, when
ono wna caught by Sam Powell, off New
port, R. I., nnd was presented to tho
United States Museum at Washington.
Owing, possibly, to the excessively hot
weather nnd the unusually wnrm condi
tion of tho ocean, tho snll fish may havo
drifted along with the Gulf Stream nnd
wnnd"rcd closo In shore, nfter tho count
less numbers of small fish, such as yel
low mackerel, menhaden and grunts that
tho sail flsh feed on.
The fish caught here was a female and
wnrt ripe for spawning, and may have
been hunting Inland waters to deposit
her eggs.
The flsh was presented to the Ocean
City Fishing Club by Mr. Pfelffer, tho
owner of the pounds, nnd Is being mount
ed for the club.
