FRENZIED GREEKS
PRESS VICTORIES
Saloniki, July 7.—Since their victory
over the Bulgarians at Kilkish the
Greek troops have been success
ful in a number of similar en
gagements in which the fighting was
very severe. They were driving the
Bulgarians before them toward the
north and the east. During the fight
ing which resulted in the occupation of
Ghevgheli by the Greeks the Bulgarians
became panic stricken and hundreds of
them jumped into the river Vardar
and were drowned.
The railroad between Ghevghen and
Saloniki by way of Karashuli has been
restored and is in operation.
About 2,000 wounded Greek soldiers
arrived today in Saloniki furnishing
evidence of the heavy fightining which
has taken place.
No message has reached here as to
the result of the battle which began
yesterday between the Greeks and the
Bulgarians north of Kilkish but It is
known t'uat the Greeks were successful
In another fight at Matsokovo In which
the Bulgarians suffered heavily.
The Greek authorities complain that
the Bulgarians have looted some Greek
villages and have tortured the In
habitants who will not sign a petition
asking the Bulgarians to continue their
occupation of the district.
BULGARIAN VICTORY OVER
SERVIAN ARMY REPORTED
Vienna Austria, July 7.—Lieut. Her
minigilde Wagner, the war correspond
ent of the Relehspost who attained
such notoriety during the hostilities be
tween Turkey and the Balkan allies
telegraphs from the front that the
Servian army suffered terribly at
Ovchepolyo and that the Servian vic
tory over tlie Bulgarians at Istip was
only a momentary success of merely
local importarifce.
The outflanking operations of the
Bulgarian troops toward Kratovo and
Egrl Palanka have been successfully
accomplished, he says, so that the Bul
garians are now advancing on Kuman
ova and the Servian frontier.
On the right bank of the River Var
dar. he adds, the flanking operations
of the Bulgarians have likewise pro
gressed favorably so that Servian posi
tions at Vetes (or Koprili) 23 miles
southeast of Uskup have become un
tenable and a Servian retreat is im
minent.
The Bulgarian offensive movement
against Saloniki, he says, is also be
ing continued successfully and por
tions of the Greek army have begun
to retreat.
REVERSES MAY RESULT IN
PLACE PLEA BY BULGARIA
London, July 7.—The Times thinks
that the checks the Bulgarians have
received are calculated to give Bulgaria
pause and that she may before long be
glad to avail herself of the Russian
emperor’s good offices especially in
view of the attitude of Roumania.
According to trustworthy accounts,
the Bulgarian premier Dr. Daneft has
not abandoned hope of going to St.
Petersburg, and premier Vanizelos of
Greece is willing to resume negotiations
If Bulgaria withdraws her army across
tho convention line.
A Sofia dispatch to the Times, sent
at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning says
that the Bulgarian troops were ordered
to retire to the positions which they oc
cupied before the Greek and Servian at
tacks. The Servian advance toward
Istip adds the dispatch, was said to
have been repulsed and four Servian
regiments which were surrounded, were
expected to surrender.

CONSIDERING SALARIES
Salt Lake City, Utah, July 7.—With
thousands of teachers present from all
parts of the United States, the Na
tional Education association conven
tion opened here this morning with a
session of the National Council of Ed
ucation. The report of the commit
tee on teachers’ salaries, tenure and
pensions was presented by Joseph
Swain, president of Swarthmore col
lege.
The report stated that a salary of
$800 per year In Detroit Is equivalent
to $1,000 In New York or Atlanta and
that a comparison of salaries between
cities is of no value without a com
parison of the coat of living. It is ex
pected the investigation will be car
ried further.

Professor 0. F. Davis Charges
They Are Circulating Se
ditious Literature.
Portland, Ore., July 7.—The World’*
Christian Citizenship conference meet
ing in sections this morning consid
ered immigration, Sabbath observance
and Mormonism.
The report of the commission on
"Mormonism,” presented by Professor
O. P. Davis, of New Richmond, Wis.,
urged that the federal authorities
make a thorough Investigation of the
Mormon church and that the church be
forbidden the useof the mails because of
the circulation of alleged treasonable
and seditious utterances and literature.
The report further urged that congress
unseat or refuse to seat any person
guilty of polygamous practices or who
paid "supreme temporal allegiance to
church leaders,” and that Utah should
be brought under direct and strict Jur
isdiction of the United States by con
stitional amendment.”
AGREE UPON PLAN
FOR DISSOLUTION
OF PACIFIC LINES
Washington, July 7.—Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds and representatives
of the Union Pacific, it was definitely
learned today, have reached an agree
ment for the dissolution of the great
Harriman merger. The principles of
the plan are iis harmony with the views
of President Wilson and he is expected
to approve. It will be submitted Mon
day to the Judges of the United States
court for the Eighth circuit at St,
Paul.
The plan will go to the court with
the government’s approval, qualified
only by a request that the judge* give
a limited time before entering a final
decree, during which the government
may possibly make objections, which
cannot now be foreseen. Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds does not expect to go
to St. Paul, but will send G. Carroll
Todd, special assistant, who has been
associated in the negotiations.
Will Swap Shares.
Attorney General McReynolds today
said he was not ready to discuss the
situation or details. It is understood,
however, that the plan will provide
for exchanging $88,000,000 of Southern
Pacific stock held by the Union Pacific
for Pennsylvania’s interest in Balti
more & Ohio, the Bale of the remaining
$88,000,000 of the Southern Pacifla
through the medium of a trust com
pany under such safeguards as will
end control of the Southern Pacific by
either the Union Pacific or its share
holders.
Officials today declared that Presi
dent Wilson and Attorney General Mc
Reynolds had been in perfect accord
ail along to reach an agreement for the
dissolution provided a plan could be
evolved that would meet the demands
of the Sherman law. It was declared
that while there had never been any
tendency to place obstacles in the way
of an agreement the administration had
insisted on an "adequate dissolution.”
Precaution Is Taken.
The plan evolved, it is believed, will
accomplish it, but the government
takes the precaution of asking for a
limited time within which to make ob
jections, so that in case public discus
sion of the proposition and further
study by officials shows any weak
nesses, the hands of the administration
will not be tied.
The president having upset his per
sonal plans for a week’s vacation,
delved into the intricate details of the
disintegration. Attorney General Mc
Reynolds continued conferences with
Paul D. Cravath, counsel for the Union
Pacific. Cravath had planned to return
to New York yesterday, but remained
in Washington hoping to complete the
negotiations.
Another Suit Likely.
It is generally understood that apart
from the dissolution the attorney gen
eral will begin proceedings later under
the Sherman law to separate the Cen
tral Pacific from the Southern Pacific.
The supreme court did not decide that
question in the Union Pacflc case, but
held that nothing in the mandate
should prejudice future attempts by
negotiations or litigation to sever the
Central Pacific from the Southern Pa
cific.
The proposal by which the Union
Pacific would give $38,000,000 of its
holdings in Southern Pacific to the
Pennsylvania for the latter’s interest
in the Baltimore & Ohio is favorably
regarded, and today's consideration re
lated primarily to the suggestion of
placing the remaining $88,000,000 of
Southern Pacific stocks in the hands of
a trust company to be sold within a
reasonable time and under such condi
tions as will prevent the shareholders
of the Union Pacific from acquiring
any substantial proportion of the
Southern Pacific.
The government has contended and
the supreme court has sustained the
contention, that no adequate dissolu
tion can be accomplished simply by a
transfer of the ownership of any great
block of Southern Pacific from the
Union Pacific Railroad company to the
stockholders of the corporation.
WINCHELL NEW TRAFFIC
HEAD OF UNION PACIFIC
New York, July 7.—B. L. Winchell,
formerly president of the St. Louis &
San Francisco railroad and recently
receiver for the system, a position
which he resigned yesterday, has been
appointed director of traffic of the Un
ion Pacific railroad. Announcement of
his appointment was made here today.
L. J. Spence was formerly director
of traffic of the Union Pacific-South
ern Pacific systems, but the dissolu
tion proclamation necessitated his re
signing from one of the roads and he
assumed the position for the Southern
Pacific only. This left the Union Pa
cific vacancy which Mr. Winchell now
fills.
Mr. Winchell’s appointment is effec
tive July 15. His headquarters will be
in Chicago.
SUBURBANITES SUFFER

MEXICO AGAIN NEAR
FINANCIAL STRAITS;
NO MONEY IN SIGHT
^ Loan of $80,000,000 Negotia
ted in May Is Nearly
Exhausted.
WAR EXPENSE IS HEA^Y
Neighboring Republio Buying Arm*
and Ammunition from Japan—
Diffiulty in Getting
Troops.
Mexico City, July 7.—The expenditure
of the money borrowed by Mexico in
the latter part of May, about 2,000,000,
000 pesos, is not going to be at all dif
ficult. According to reliable informa
tion something like $56,000,000 gold
already has been disbursed, and there
remains on hand not more tljan $24,000,
000 gold. The loan was placed at 90,
and a commission of at least 2 per
cent, was paid, leaving the total
amount actually available not rnuf®
than $80,000,000 gold. The $56,000,000
already paid out is accounted for
roughly by $21,000,000 returned to New
York bankers in the shape of bonds and
$35,000,000 to the National bank for the
payment of accounts in Paris and Lon
don and other pressing claims. Of the
remaining $24,000,000 the government
has promised to pay $7,000,000 for post
improvements at Salina Cruz, v era
Cruz, Tumpico and Frontera, and other
items listed account for a few millions
mora, leaving available for the war
fund probably not more than $15,000,000
gold
An unofficial estimate of the cost of
the general conduct of the war, in
cluding keeping the army in the field,
is $7,500,000 a month, providing, of
course, that all bills are liquidated. In
addition to this borrowed money the
government has its ordinary Income,
but this has been materially reduced
because of a diminution in the totals of
imports upon which duties are collect
ed, and a reduction in the sale of
stamps for the conduct of general busi
ness.
Mexico has shifted her trade in arms
and ammunition from German manu •
faeturers to Japanese. The war de
partment has contracted to purchase
from a house in Japan 200,000 rifles of
the Mauser type. They are to be fin
ished with a number of improvements
over the old Mauser, and in order to
avoid the use of Inferior materials and
to guarantee careful and exact work at
the factory, a commission of three
Mexican army officers will supervise
the work of filling the order. A range
of 1,500 feet more than that of the old
type is claimed for the new arm, with
velocity.
Compulsory military service was to
have been inaugurated in Mexico on.
June 1, but it was then announced that
before the president’s decree providing
for enforced service could be put into
effect it would be necessary to make a
number of changes in the law, which
would make its application impracti
cable for some six months longer.
The proposed scheme of compulsory
enlistment is regarded by many as
rather lax. One of its provisions is
that any man earning more than a
soldier’s wage shall be exempt. Heads
of families, or any one able to show
that some one is dependent on him,
also may plead exemption. These
exemptions would confine the draft to
the most ordinary laboring classes, not
materially different from those now
composing the army.
It Is not a secret that the recruits,
under the present system, are drafted
Just as much as if there were in force
a law compelling service. For the most
part they are taken from the jails, but
not tnfreqfiently well built young men
whose only crimes are being “out of a
job” are forced into the ranks. So
common has this custom become that
protests are frequent and at times
very annoying to the authorities. The
appearance of the recruiting officer in
a given locality ha§ been known to
drive the entire male population to
hiding in the hills, to return only when
the representative of the army had
taken himself elsewhere.
JUDGE CALL SOUGHT TO
ADVANCE CO-OPERATION
Washington, D. C., July 7.—In the
course of testimony before the Senate
lobby committee. G. Harold PoWcll,
head of the California Fruit Growers'
exchange, and representing them in
citrus fruit tariff matters here paid a
high tribute to A F. Call, formerly of
Sioux City. Mr. Powell told the com
mittee that for years until the time of
his death Mr. Call acted as counsel for
the fruit growers without accepting a
cent of pay.
"Had we been compelled to pay for
counsel, it would have vastly increased
our expenses,” said he. “Judge Call
was deeply Interested in co-operation.
He found the citrus fruit growers
working in co-operation and gave his
valuable services free to advance co
operative efforts.”
Mr. Powell added that the combined
capital of the California citrus fruit
growers was $200,000,000.
FLAG OF PARAGUAY IS

San Francisco, July 7.—The national

with the flag.

OFFERS PLAN FOR
PEACE IN MEXICO
Mexico City, July 5.—Venustlano
Carranza, the rebel governor of the
state of Coahulla, proposes as a basis
of peace between his followers and
those of the present administration
that the permanent cabinet ministers,
as well as a candidate for the presi
dent for the republic, be named a rep
resentative convention of all political
parties, including the revolutionary
factions.
In statements of Deopoldo Martinez,
the leader who claims to have reoelved
the proposal through Nlceforo Zam
brano and Manuel Amaya, fugitive res
idents of Monterey, those two assert
that It was authorized by Carranza
himself. He further suggested In this
proposal that Provisional President
Victorians Huerta Immediately name
a presidential candidate and a min
ister for foreign affairs and then re
sign office, after which the choice of
the convention would succeed consti
tutionally to the provisional presidency.
Leopoldo Martinez Intends to en

TROUSERS COOLER
THAN MERE SKIRTS
Also Less Conspicuous, Says
Suffrage Leader, in Ap
proval of Plans,
> ______
Philadelphia. July 6.—A controversy
has started In tho ranks of the Phil
adelphia suffragets whether a woman
should wear trousers with cuffs on the
bottom. The discussion all grew out of
the resolve of Mrs. John Boldt of New
York to adopt them. Mrs. Boldt urges
all women to wear trousers as a sub
stitute for skirts.
Miss Caroline Katzenstein. executive
secretary of the Women's Suffrage as
sociation of Philadelphia and eastern
Pennsylvania, said:
"The trousers idea, to my way of
thinking, Is good. They would probably
be cooler and less conspicuous than
skirts and. dresses. I would hate to take
the Initiative, however. It's up to some
big society women with a large follow
ing to Introduce the style In the Quakei
City. The split skirts worn by the wo
men who promenade Chestnut street
and other streets are vulgar.”
CURRENCY COMMITTEE
OF HOUSE ATTACKED
Washington, D. C., July 6.—Th6

AMERICANS TO BE
PRESSED FOR HONORS
1. _ TV- —— ' '
i New York, July E.—The prediction
Is made by J. W. Spalding, vice presi
dent of the American Olympic com
mittee, that European athletes will give
the United States a much harder and
closer battle for Olympic honors at Ber
lin In 1916 than heretofore.
As a result of his observations while
abroad he asserts that American track
and field performers will have to come
up to the high standard set In pre
vious meets If they are to win the point
trophies at the next Olympic games.
Athletes are on an organized basis In
the leading countries of Europe and
American methods and trainers are
rapidly bringing the standards up to
a point where they compare favorably
with those of the United States. The
opening of the Berlin stadium on June
8 marked the formal preparations for
the games of 1918 and France, Ger
many, England, Sweden, Italy and oth
er countries are already planning to
wrest athletic supremacy from the
Americans at Berlin If possible. It Is
the general opinion abroad, according
to Spalding, that even though the
United States wins at Berlin, it will be
by greatly reduced scores and that
1920 will find the Olympic games an
absolutely open contest, with at least
three or four countries closely grouped
at the finish.
