the successful wal with Turkey and the
peace which followed, DOW to see tue Allies
fighting among themselves as to the division

to conine this new war to the local belliger-
ents, Europe will be fortunate, but till the

One item Of news in the kilograms is chat
$4,000 refugees from the districts ravaged
by the Bulgarians are concentrated in the
Chalcidice Peninsula" This peninsula, about
70 miles long, is at the northern end of the
Egean Sea. 1t has a remarkable shape, the
main part of it somewhat resembling the palm
of the hand, while three long and narrow fin
gers stretch out towards the southeast. It's
southwestern shore is washed by the Gulf
of Salonica, named from the famous city
which stands at the head of the Gulf. This
suggests an explanation of the telegram.
The city is held by the Greeks, and it Is not
unlikely that their earth-workss stretch across
the isthmus. The refugees would then be
people, from the near parts of Macedonia
to the north, who were seeking safety in
side the Greek lines.

Montgomery, May 3.-(Special.)- Kelly
Adams, porter at the capitol for 20 years,
is suffering nightmares, too, as the re-
suit of the rapid fire actions at the cap
