" Troops
WAR AT ANY MOMENT
LONDON, Oct t.
That Bulgaria la maklne preparation to
Ho to war on tho aids ot thn Teutonic
Allies was officially announced here to
day, Btr Edward Orey, the British Foreign
Secretary, lesued tho following official
statement through the Government Tress
Bureau;
"Information has been received that
German and Austrian army officers have
been arriving In Bulgaria for several
days with a view to taking an active part
in directing tho operations of the Bul
garian army."
"This action," tho statement added, "Is
precisely similar to that which preceded
Turkey's entranoo Into the war on the
side of our enemies. It will be remem
bered that German officers forced Turkey
to make an entirely unprovoked attack
jO on Russia In 1114. Since the Allies ar
, ,!. bound to support the States threatened
. VmZ. hv jnirlt nrAriwMnfrii thn nnwfl fmm Ttnl-
garla IS regarded very gravely."
The Statement from the Foreign Office
created a sensation here. Everywhere It
was taken as an Indication that Bulgaria
has finally cast her lot with the Augtro
Germans and Is about to enter the war.
Dispatches to Borne newspapers from
Turin report that Bulgarian troops have
invaded Sen-la at three points, driving
back border patrols that attempted to
oppose them.
The dispatches are printed with the
comment that official confirmation has
not yet been received.
A Bulgarian patrol at Trltchouke Is re
ported to have attacked Servian sentinels,
who retreated. The Bulgars crossed Into
8ervlan territory, where they remained
for several hours.
Bulgarian troops are said to be digging
trenches all along the frontier and pro
tecting them with barbed wire entangle
ments. The Tribune's dispatches assert that
mobilization Is proceeding under the di
rection of Gorman staff officers, hut
will not be completed before another
fortnight. King Ferdinand, It Is re
ported, has received a promlso from Ber
lin that 00,000 Austro-Oerman troops will
undertake a march through the Balkans
to Constantinople. '
Three hundred thousand Germans have
been concentrated at Teraesvar, Hungary,
Ti miles northeast of Belgrade, with
300 cannon. Including B0 slego guns and
60 aeroplanes, but will not be ready for
an attack in less than two weeks.

WASHINGTON EXPECTS
VON PAPEN'S DISMISSAL
Plans to Obtain German Attache's
Safe Conduct Under Way
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. Officials close
to the President declared today that they
expected definite action for the elimina
tion of Captain von Papen, the German
military attache, as an embassy attache,
will be taken very shortly. It is under
stood that Count von Bernstorff already
has had It made plain to him that the
usefulness of the captain In this country
la at an end.
vyhether a direct request that he be
sent home already has been made was
a matter on which officials would not
comment. But it was considered certain
that already plans to secure him safe
conduct to Germany have been discussed
by Acting Secretary Polk, and It Is very
probable that at tomorrow's conference
In New Tork between Secretary Lansing
and the German Ambassador definite ac
tion will be taken.

PENROSE FOR HOLDING
G.O.P. CONVENTION HERE
Denies Supporting Chicago's
Claim, Though Ho Thinks It
la Logical Place for It
Senator Boles Penrose Issued a state
ment today denying reports from Haiti
more that he had expressed "'
favoring Chicago as the place for holding
the next National nepubltcan Convention
In Hie, which the Chamber of Commtrce
and buslnci men have been trying to
obtain for this city.
The Senator said that every effort
would be made to secure the convention
for Phlladclprla and that he had been
misquoted nt Baltimore, whero. ho had
gone to address a convention of the l . o.
S. of A. He had said that Chicago was
the logical place to hold the convention,
on nccount of transportation ellltlcs.
but Philadelphia would put up a strong
fight to obtain It.
The Senator's statement Is as follows'
"I said that there would be an earnest
effort made to secure the National Re
publican Convention for Philadelphia.
Delegates to the convention held In tins
cltv In 1900 were all pleased with thn city,
hut the fact cannot be overlooked, that
Chicago Is the natural place for a con
ventlon for people coming from nil parts
of the United Btates.
"When such a matter Is under consid
eration It Is natural that transportation
facilities and hotel accommodations
should bo Important factors In coming to
a decision. 1 believe that tho tendency
will bo continually stronger hereafter In
the Itcpubllcan, Democratic and all other
parties toward choosing Chicago for iuM
conventions. "

A Knife that
Cuts Two Ways
npHROUGHOUT the country and (Phijadel-
phia is not excepted) retailers of Men's
Clothing recently have adopted a plan to increase
the sale of clothing by offering an extra pair of
trousers with every suit sold at a given price
usually $15.
Oh the surface this seems to be an ad
vantage to the buyer, but careful analysis will
put a different complexion on the plan.
For 54 years Wanamaker & Brown have
manufactured good clothing for men.
Our assertion that both the producer and
the consumer suffer when clothino- is madp anrl
"with an extra pair of trousers
backed by the 'voice of authority.
Two things are bound to happen: The
maker must cheapen the cost of his materials to
provide the additional trousers and the buyer,
therefore, receives an inferior suit.
This transaction is a knife that cuts two
ways. The producer sells inferior merchandise.
The buyer, receiving neither wear nor worth,
becomes dissatisfied, and a dissatisfied customer
is no customer at all. HE DOES NOT GO
BACK TO THAT STORE! The buyer has
lost the value of his money and the seller has
lost, his customer. Both lose!
.."!. lt ! thekuwness of a good store to meet fair compe
tition fairly, but not to meet unfair competition unfairly.
Wanamaker & Brown cannot sell suits at $15 with
wXw Pair trTr;rs and ive Sod 5 value-there-fore,
Wanamaker & Brown will not undertake to do so.
