BULCARS MURDER

KING OF GREECE SENDS \
MESSAGE DESCRIBING SCENES
Horrible Deeds Are Committed by
Soldiers-EIre Villages. Plunder
and Murder Observation-Disclosures
ing Bulgarians Fire Towns-Whole
Districts Are Sacked.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-King Con-
stantine of Greece yesterday sent a
dispatch to a news agency here de-
scribing the atrocities of the Bulgar-
ian troops in Macedonia. The follow
ing is the kings message:
Hadji, Beilik, July II.
I'm reply to your dispatch of the
18th instant I have the honor to COM
municate to you the following infor-
nation on the Bulgarian atrocities
committed at the outset of hostilities
against the Greek and Musselman in
habitants of Macedonia.
THE first city to be ravaged was
Nigrita. A large number of its peo-
pie who had remained at their homes
after the events occurring in the
Panghaon district were massacred by
the retreating army, who did not fail
to light the path of their flight by the
flames of the city to which they had
applied the torch.
Correspondents Confirm Reports
The correspondents of the Temps
and the Daily Telegraph who visited
the locality the day after the massa-
cres, merely confirmed in great detail
the dispatches of the commanders of
our troops.
THE precipitate flight of the peas
ants in the surrounding villages is
the only reason why we have not
greater number of victims to deplore.
On our left wing 700 Musselmen of
the environment of Killseh-a nest of
Bulgarian comitadis irregular troops)
shared the same fate. Two of our
officers. who in a bayonet assault had
been left lying wounded on the field,
o few steps from the enemy's trench
es when the attack was renewed,
were found to have had their eyes
gouged out
"At Doiran, before their flight the
enemy dragged the metropolitan and
80 of the leading citizens from their
homes. They never were seen again"

LONDON BUSINESS MEN SAY
YOUTHS MUST BE TRAINED

LONDON.-The Association OF
Chambers of Commerce has submit
ted memorandum to the prime min-
ister on the provision of universal
training in discipline and arms for the
youth of the nation in order to meet
the urgent necessity for adequate ma
t!onal defense.
This memorandum was submitted in
response to the request of the prime
minister for the views of the associ-
alton on the matter.
In the view of the association the
development of aerial navigation ami
other changed conditions calle for the
reconsideration of the whole question
of national defense.
While the establishment of the ter
ritorial force has on the whole, been
favorably regarded by employers OF
labor there are some employers whose
actions have made it impossible for
young men workers to take part in
the duty of national defense.
In the opinion of the association the
only satisfactory way of dealing with
this situation is by the enactment of
a bill compelling all employers to
afford the necessary facilities for ma
tional training.
The association also considers that
it should not be left to a small body
Of patriotic volunteers to become the
defenders of their country.
A course of physical training COM
paratively early in life. the association
considers would better prepare youths
and young men for service in the terri
torial force or regular army. and the
moral welfare of the nation would be
enhanced on patriotic lines.
South Africa, Australia and New
Zealand, it is pointed out, have ad-
opted a system of universal training
with satisfactory results and there is
abundant evidence that continental
countries are not Indifferent to the.
advantages that accrue from military
training in the development OF physi-
| que and the formation of character.
which are as beneficial in time Of
peace as they would be in time Of war

Sheelys triple followed by Har-
mons single tied up the game in the
second and it was a one to one affair
until the sixth when Browns dinky

other over for Walla Walla.
In the seventh, Jamieson's support
fell down. Childers hit through
Naughton and took second when Au-
