REPUBLICANS PLAN ATTACK
Senators Preparing Amendments to
Tariff Bill

Washington, July S.-Republican
members of the senate quietly have
been preparing for some weeks for the
attack to be made on the Underwood
Simmons tariff bill when IT gets back
into the senate late this week.
While a program of tariff policy has
not been laid out by the Republicans
leading representatives of the party
in the senate have prepared amend
ments, substitute schedules and pro-
lection arguments, directed by many
of the important sections of the Demo
cratic bill.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, who will bring
the bill in from the committee with
the seal of Democratic caucus approx
al upon 1t, estimates that FIVE weeks
will be enough to wind up general de-
bate and discussion of the measure
and to obtain a vote on it's final pas
sage.
Prominent Republican senators doubt
whether the tariff can be disposed OF
in the senate in that time.

was successful over the Bulgarians or
the forces of King Peter were being
driven back.
II was the general belief, however,
that the Bulgarians were gradually
forcing both the Servians and Greeks
back, but not without the most bitter
fighting.
The battles have been marked by
hand to hand conflicts. in which bay
onets were used as sabers and at such
close quarters that the troops resort
ed to clubbing each other with the
butts of their rifles.
Il is estimated the fighting covers
an area of 5000 square miles. More
than 100000 noncombatants are home
less. They have fed from their
homes and are in danger of starvation.
Scores of villages have been burned
Diplomatic relations have been com
pletely broken off by all the Balkan
states.
Advices from Belgrade declared that
the Servians had reoccupied Kivola.
The Bulgarians were routed with
heavy losses, it was stated.
Advices from Saloniki continue to
make claims of Greek advances, but
1t is generally believed here the plan
of the Bulgarians is merely to keep
the Greeks fairly in hand, while they
dispose of the Seryians. 1t was not
believed any serious endeavor was
being made to check the Greeks at
present, as Seryia is regarded as the
more dangerous enemy and the bulk
of the army Is being thrown along the
Servian frontier. There has been des-
perate fighting with the Greeks. how
