AT the meeting last night all the

Finally it came to a Showdown,

But the Remington company.

The bid stated that the Remington

of new ones in return. and give the
board ten extra machines, or as many
as was needed, for the next three

ten Bulgarian batteries opened fire
against the Hamidiye group Of fort

their positions were clearly revealed
by flashes of light which showed up
plainly against the dark background.
The batteries we're cunningiy placed
