In the current issue OF The
Outlook, George p. Brett warns
protected industry that:
Labor Win not be liquidated.
and It is quite right that It should
not be so long as the profits of
management are what they have
been in the past and what they
are today. Nor can the reason
able reductions OF the tariff now
proposed suffice as an excuse
for reductions in wages until
liquidation has been ruthlessly
applied to the evils OF manage
ment as they now exist
So far as wages and hours of
labor are concerned. the tariff
has had practically nothing to do.
These have been gained by or
ganization and fighting had for
every inch OF advance gained.
The working people took the word
of the Democratic party that II

BULGARIAN N-SERV|AN
WAR LOSSES HEAVY
Thirty-five Thousand Killed and
Wounded During Battles of
Week Just Passed.

VIENNA. July THE Bulgarian and
Servian troops are fairly annihilating
each other in the conflict now raging.
The battles are marked by more bitter
and costly fighting than prevailed dur
ing the war between the Balkan allies
and the Turks. Following the receipt
of advices from Lieutenant Wagner,
correspondent at Sofia. that 11.0Oo Serv-
ians were killed when the Timok d.
vision was defeated Saturday. officials
were prepared to credit early reports
Of startling casualties as authentic.
All semi-ofricial advices declare that
last weeks battles were the longest
and hardest fought of all the battles
during the Balkan war. These reports
stated that the Bulgarians lost 2o.oo
in killed and wounded and the Servtans
l5,C00. The Servians were victorious at
Kotchana, according to latest reports,
and entered the city.
In the fighting around the city, three
Servian regiments were annfhilated, ac-
cording to a dispatch Received today
from Lieutenant Wagner
According to Lieutenant Wagners 8 re-
port of the defeat of the Timok DIVISION
those not killed in the engagement were
captured. The division consisted OF
5000 officers and men. The Bulgarlans
outfianked them, but after being sur.
rounded the servians kept up the ,nsI ngm, J
until 1.0On were killed. The remaining
400 surrendered.
Reports here state that a Bulgarian
division has reached Vranya, ano
threatens to cut of the retreat OF the
Servian army.
The Washington times., 1913-07-07
Reports From Balkans
Make Issue Doubtful

LONDON, July 7.-Reports Of the
Balkan conflict reaching here continued
to be hopelessly contradictory as to
whether Servia was successful over the
Bulgarians or the forces of King Peter
were being driven back.
1t was the general belief, however.
that the Bulgarians were gradually
forcing both the Servians and Greeks
back, but not without the most pltter
fighting.
II Is estimated that the fighting COW
ers an area of 5000 square miles. More
than ZOO non-oombatants are home

and are in danger Of starving. Scores
OF villages have been burned.

completing the rupture. The Servlan
minister has left Sofia.
Advices from Belgrade are that the
Servtans had reoccupied Kivolak. The
Bulgarians were routed with heavy
losses. II was stated. 1t is generally be-
lieved here that the plan Of the Bull
garians is merely to keep the Greeks
fairly well in hand. while they dispose
of the Servians.
There has been desperate fighting
against the Greeks. however. as was in
dicated when reports here stated that
5000 wounded had arrived in Saloniki
Thousands of refugees have also ar
rived there.

Emperor William Ready
To Serve as Mediator

BERLIN, July 7.-Emperor William
Is prepared to act as mediator In the
Balkan trouble in so far as it concerns
Bulgaria and Roumania. according to
report today. With advices from Con-
stantinople intimating THAT the Rou,
manian ministry had officially notified
the Porte of the mobilization of the
Roumanian army, 1t was reported to-
day that the Kaiser had suggested
plan Of mediation.
According to earlier reports from
Vienna II is understood that Austria
suggested an agreement between the
two countries whereby Bulgaria would
take Salonika in return for territorial
concessions In Roumania.

Treaty Opponents in
Senate Remain Firm

In spite of the optimistic talks Of Sec
retary OF State Bryan, the opponents Of
the pending peace and arbitration trea-
ties in the Senate have not given way
in their opposition and they are de-
termined not to let them come to a
vote at this time.
The opposition is directed especially
at the treaties with Great Britain and
Japan. but it will result in deferring ac-
ton on all the peace treaties. Senators
are generally determined not to put this
country in the position of consenting
to arbitrate the Panama canal tolls
question. which they regard rs a do
mestic one, by ratifying the trea lies.
Senator O'Gorman OF New York is a
leader in opposition to the treaties.

GREEKS IN AMERICA
LEAVE FOR FRONT
Eight Thousand Fight in Uni
forms of State Militia Taken
From United States.

All able-bodied Greeks who were not
called to the front for the Turkish
war; have been summoned by the
King to take part in the war with
Bulgaria and Servia.
The call affects about fifty Wash
ington Greeks. some of whom lett
today. and all Of whom will leave De-
fore the end of the week. The exact
number Of Greeks in this country who
are affected by the call is not known,
but it will probably reach 10000.
The call was issued yesterday in
the Orthodox Greek Church. At the
outbreak Of the Turkish war mass
meeting was held, but in the present
instance this was not believed to be
necessary.
About $1,000 soldiers who were re-
siding in America at the outbreak OF
the Turkish war are now in the Greek
army. and have been repeatedly COM
mended for their valor by the king
and officials in the army.
They are known as the American

Although the uniforms are the property
Of the United states Government, there
is nothing to prevent the Greeks from
taking them when they leave Tor the
defense of their native country.
Officials in the war Department were
not aware this condition existed. and
stated the uniforms are charged to the
various states. They are checked up
every year, December 1, but as the call
