The Balkan peace conference Is ex-
pected to open at Bucharest tomorrow
but meantime serious fighting con-
tinues. The Greeks refused Bulgaria :
rouest for even a three days truce anu
after heavy fighting, have gotten
through Krefina Pass, defeating the
Rulgarians at Simekle, capturing three
Siege guns and driving the Buigarians
hack on Djuma. The Greeks claim
they annihilated the whole left OF tne
Bulgarian army and that they nave
forced the Bulgarians back along tne
Struma valley to Djuma, on the But
earian frontier. Unless peace speeuliy
is negotiated another great pattie IL
likely to occur at Struma. No news
has been received Of fighting on the
Seryian frontier but the large numbers
of wounded men arriving at Belgrade
indicate severe engagements. The n
cert of the powers seems as poweriess
as before to adopt any united actlon
against Turkey. The Porte, however,
has disayowed the action OF Its troops
in penetrating old Bulgaria, ana nc
further advance Of Turkish troops mas
been reported. The Turks claim their
snoIls at Adrianople consisted OF lou
guns. SO. 900 rifles and 1,000,000 sacks OF
corn. There are frequent reports OF
atrocities and massacres by the Bulga-
rians and Turks. Izzet Pasha, tne
Turkish r-in-chief, reports
that Bulgarians murdered zoo ottoman
soldiers who had been taken prisoners
near Kiziley Enidje, while an admis-
sion of Turkish massacres OF Armem-
ans at Malgara and Rodosto comes
from Constantinople in report that a
number Of Moslems have been SEN
fenced to death or to long imprison-
ment for implication in the massacres'
Despite senatorial criticism OF
the probable reduction in parcel post
rates and the increase ia the size OF
packages, Postmaster General Burle-
son on last Friday, announced ne
would issue the final orders at once,
putting the changes in effect August
Is. The announcement came a1ter
the wisdom of making the changes
had been subjected to a searching
review before the senate postotfice
committee in the presence Of Post
master General Burleson. Chairman
Clark, of interstate commerce COM
mission, explaining why the commis,
sion had sanctioned the proposed
changes, said he believed the post
master general had ample power un-
der the law to make the changes.
"I am convinced that the postoffice
department ought TO, can and will ex-
tend the parcel post until 1t will car
ry all packages up to 100 pounds,
he added. So urgent did Senator
Pristow and Bryan attack the propo-
sition that the changes would result
in Increased profits for the govern
ment, that little was said about the
power of the postmaster general to
make such changes. Later in the day
Mr.. Burleson demonstrated his de-
termination not to allow his plans
to be interfered with by issuing the
final order putting the new regula-
tions in force on August Is. At the
hearing, Chairman Clark Of the inter-
state commerce commission, defended
the commission for giving its con-
cent to the new regulations. Another
meeting of the senate postoftice com
mittee was called for Saturday. AT
that time Senator Bryan will urge a
favorable report on the bill to repeal
the authority Of the postmaster gen.
eral to make changes Of the nature In
question. Senator Bristow will sup
port this movement. Senator Hoke
Smith, Swanson and Chiffon will OPP
pose 1t. Senator Bryan announced
Friday night that If he were defeat
ed in committee he would renew the
contest on the floor of the senate and
would do so in time to prevent the
postmaster generals order going in
tn effect on August Is.
