WASHINGTON is DRY.
National Capital Was a "Jagless''
Town on Sunday.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The national
capital awakened today to find that
during the 81 hours from midnight
Saturday to o'clock this morning it
had been a ''jagless' town. Not one
arrest for drunkenness had been made
by the police in that time and the police
court docket was a lonesome sight. The
new and rigid excise law passed by
congress was responsible for the wave
of Sabbath purity.
Where are the prisoners?" dema no
ed Police Judge Pugh when he as
cended the bench today and cast his
eye around for the usual Monday
morning array of bleary eyed mortals-
There amt none, yer honor" said
the bailiff, almost sadly.
We amt got so much as a plain
drunk
The record so far as the police hare
been able to ascertain is unparalleled
in the annals of the department.

ping of revolvers that lasted from

Despite the promiscuous firing, no
one was hit.

BULGARS CAPTURE
Big SERB FORCE
-Four Thousand Men of Timok Division
Taken, with Guns and
Supplies.
BELGRADE GIVES UP HOPE
scial Gable to The Washington Herald.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
London. July 5.-The Bulgarian En-
bassy received a message late tonight
confirming the surrender Of the
Servian Timok division at point
north of Veles. The Bulgarians cap
tured 1000 men. six machine guns,
twenty-seven quick-action field guns,
and a complete commissariat train
containing a large quantity of supplies
The Bulgarian success in the vicinity
of Veles is more marked because of
the campaign they are carrying on
against the Greeks near the same
point. 1t is now believed here that
the movement of the Bulgars against
the Serbs along the Bulgarian frontier
has proved highly successful. and the
Serbs are reported to have suffered
heavy losses at many points.
Two Servian regiments which had
crossed the river into Bulgarian territory
surrendered at Egri Palanka, while sew
eral others were put to rout.
A dispatch was received here from Bel
grade indicating that the Servian gov
eminent now believes the campaign
against Bulgaria to have been not only
fruitless, but highly disastrous, and the
outlook Is now hopeless. The loss of the
Timok division following close upon the
breaking up of the Drina division is re-
sponsible for this feeling.
