BULGAR ATROCITIES RE.TOLD
GREEK KING DESCRIBES BAR.
BARouS PRACTICES.
Flight of Peasants Saved Coun.
try From Worse
Slaughter.

New York, July liking Constan.
tine of Greece, from his headquarters
at Hadji Beilik, near Sores, sends to
The Associated Press a detailed &C.
count of the atrocities of the Bull
garians in Macedonia. He declares
that only the p~recipitate flight of
the inhabitants of the villages and
towns prevented a still greater
| slaughter.
The following is the kings mes
sage in part, through Colonel Dous-
mani, chief of the general staff of
his majesty:
The first city to be scourged was
Nigrita. A large number of it's peo-
pie who had remained at their homes
after the events occurring in the Pan
Gheon district were m~assacred by the
~retreating enemy, who did not fail to
light the path of their flight by the
flames of the city to which they had
applied the torch.
The precipitate fight of the peas
ants in the surrounding villages is
the only reason why we have not a
greater number of victims to deplore.
On our left wing 700 Mussulmans of
the Environment of Kilisseh, a nest
of Bulgarian comitadjis irregular
troops) shared the same fate. Two
of our officers, who, in a bayonet as
sault, had been left lying wounded on
the field a few steps from the enemy's
trenches, were found, when the at
tack was renewed, to have had their
eyes gouged out.
AT Dorian, before their fight, the
enemy dragged the metropolitan and
30 of the leading citizens from their
homes. They have never been seen
again.
AT Trumitza, fortunately, the
enemy had time to kill only two Of
the persons imprisoned. But all these
things are as nothing compared with
what happened at Dimirhissar, Sores
and Doxato, where everything was
sacked by fire and sword.
"Doxato is no longer anything but
a pool of blood. or its $500 inhabi-
tants, only $50 remain. A great num-
Der of the little villages along the
route taken by the fleeing army were
the scene of like atrocities"

WORRY ABOUT BRYANS POLICY
LECTURE TOURS CAUSE SEN.
AToRs TO WRANGLE.
Fight Begins When BrIstow insists
on C~ritIclsing Cabinet
Officer.

washington, July 21.-Secretary
Bryan's policy of lecturing in his va
cation time involved the senate in !
bitter controversy. 1t began wher
Senator Bristow, ignoring the defea,
of his resolution directed at Mr.. Bry
ans action. insisted upon being heard
In severe criticism of the cabinet OF.
ficer.
Before the debate ended charges
and countercnarges between the sen.
ators ON the two sides of the cham.
Der had brought the senate to a high
pitch of excitement. Senator Ashurst
produced al old letter of Senator
Bristow, which he declared indicated
that Mr.. Bristow, in 1906, had been
perfectly willing to take a federal no.
sition and devote only part of his
time to it.
Senator Bristow retorted with the
charge that Senator Ashurst had
spent more than 500 of public funds
sending private kilograms that should
nave been paid for from his own
pocket, a charge denied by Senator
Ashurst, but which Senator Bristow
agreed to prove by producing orig.
inal kilograms that had been paid for
out OF senate funds.
From these personal accusations
the debate went into the general field
OF public ~lecturing and writing, and
Democratic senators called attention
to The chautauqua platform work of
Senator Bristow, and many Others.
and to the newspaper writing that
Senator Bristow had done during the
last baltimore convention. The Kan.
sas senator vehemently asserted that
he had never neglected the duties of
his Office.
Il am not on trial here" he said.
i simply want to show that people
who live in glass houses should not
throw stones" Senator James said.
Senator'S Bristow, Townsend, Fall
and others attacked, in strong Ian
guage, the action of Secretary BRYAN
in delivering paid lectures during a
time when, they claimed, public ques-
required his close attention to
affairs OF the state department.
The Bristow resolution, introduced
Thursday, calling on President VIII.
son to state what salary will be
to secure all of Secretary
Bryan's time, was tabled by a vote
Of Al to 20, as soon as it came up,
all the Democrats and Senators
Borah and P~oindexter opposing 1t.
A prepared attack upon Secretary
Bryan's action by Senator Townsend
md an extensive defense by Senator
Lewis illumined the oratory of the
lay.
