efforts Of the powers to prevent the
outbreak of a fratricidal war between
the Balkan allies seem to have failed
just at the moment when 1t appeared
possible for the four premiers to meet
at st. Petersburg and submit their
differences for Russian arbitration
Fighting began this morning all along
the lines where the Bulgarian forces
are facing the Servians and Greeks
These probably were only post attacks
but, according to the Greek officials
statement, the Bulgarian attacks eX-
tended over the Greek and Servian
front of 40 miles, This is manifestly
war without a previous declaration OF
hostilities and accordingly we are
forced to order our division to ad-
vance," says the official statement. The
opposing armies accuse each other of
initiating the offensive. Bulgarian
representatives at Athens and Belgrade
respectively have presented notes pro-
testing against Greek and Servian at
tacks. The Servian government has
ans are making attacks and repudiat-
ing all responsibility. In Sofia the out
break Of hostilities Is attributed to
Vaccinations of the Servian military
league, which, 1t is contended, is de-
termined to prevent Premier Pashitsch
from consenting to arbitration, and
from a strategic point of view, the Bull
garians declare, the Servians' attack is
aimed at dividing the Bulgarian army
at its centre. ..' ...
Atlanta Journal: The Fulton
county grand jury on Friday returned
two true bills against Colonel Thomas
B. Fielder, lawyer, and one bill against
Chief Newport A. Lanford, Of the city
detective department, all bills charging
libel. The action Of the grand jury in
sures the airing Of Colonel Felder's
charges against Chief Lanford and Of
Chief Lanford's charges against Colo
mel Fielder In open court, and In effect
1t puts 1t up to each man to prove his
charges against the other, or to stand
convicted of criminal libel. The two
famous cards of Colonel Fielder,
printed In the Atlanta newspapers Of
May 26 and June s, in which the at
torney flayed the detective, form the
basis for the indictments against the
lawyer. The bills charge that each
man "unlawfully, wantonly, malicious
ly and with malice aforethought caus-
ed to be published the articles in
question, with the intent to falsely VIII
lify and blackep the character of the
other and to prejudice before the pub
lie the honesty, the integrity, the vir-
tue and the reputation Of the other"
The indictments charge that the state
ments made by each man against the
licious. The grand jury considered the
three bills for less than an hour, and
returned the true bills on the testi-
mony Of three newspaper men who
testified simply that the articles In
question were signed, and given out
for publication by the two men
against whom the indictments were
returned. The three witnesses were
M. D. Colfine, Sidney Ormond and w.
p. Flythe.
Gettysburg, Pa, June 90: Gettys-
burg stepped so years backward today
In the halo of history and looked
again upon an army of Blue and an
army OF Gray meeting at her doorstep
to join in the semi-centennial celebra-
ton of the greatest battle Of the War
Between the States and to show the
world that scars are not so deep as
the feeling of American brotherhood.
All day, veterans in Blue and Gray
trooped into the little town which has
slept so peacefully among its hills
since Lee and Meade turned their le-
gions southwark so long ago. More
than thirty special trains came into
the village during the day. From the
station Of the two railroads that come
into the village it is a good long mile
to the camp Of 5000 tents where the
veterans are housed. Thousands
shouldered their suitcases and walked.
The sun was scorching hot and many
succumbed before they found their
tents. There was no complaining
however. Every possible arrangement
for the comfort of the united armies
has been made. The camp itself lies
on ground that has been baked as hard
as brick and dried into dust by the
winds. The tents fall westward with
the slope Of the ground from the En-
ittsburg to the point on Cemetery
Ridge, where the immortal charge Of
Pickett started on the third day of the
fight. They cover the peach orchard"
and the wheat field" where thous-
ands of men were lost, and part of the
ground over which Pickett charged,
but they do not reach to the bloody
angle" or to the base Of Cemetery
Ridge. The formal exercises will be
held in a big tent near the Emittsburg
road but they will last only two hours
each day. In the village itself, thous-
ands of sightseers are quartered and
thousands more made the trip in ev-
cry conceivable style of conveyance.
Every barn is a garage. Every room
that is available was taken days ago.
The news that President Wilson was
coming to make speech July 4, caus-
ed a stir today. ]. M. Schoonmaker,
chairman of the Gettysburg commits
sion today telegraphed to the presi-
dent, informing him that the commits
sion would like him to get to Gettys-
burg at IL o'clock, July 4. The presi-
dent will stay here about two hours.
The first accident of the celebration
came today, when two trolley cars on
the Gettysburg Railway company's
line which runs over the battlefield
collided. Six passengers were slightly
injured. August D. Brown of Liver
more Falls, Maine, was the first vet
eran to die on the field. He was taken
suddenly i'll late today. The heat prob
ably hastened his death.
Senator Owen, chairman of the
banking and currency committee, is
sued a statement Saturday explaining
the terms Of the administration cur
rency bill, which he believes will be
enacted into law before the end of
September. The senator commented
upon the probable effectiveness Of tie
measure in improving financial conii-
tions and said the chief end in view
was to make bank reserves more mo-
bile and to provide an elastic currency
for times of need. Some Of the larg-
er interests of the country" he said
having set their heart upon the pas
sage Of the Aldrich bill, and having
expended large effort in educating the
country in favor Of the Aldrich plan
have been discontinued in two very
important particulars. First the AL
drich bill gave control of the proposed
system to the banks of the countr';
and, secondly, authorized the banks to
issue the currency to the country un-
der this system as bank currency. 1--WE
have been unable to approve these
principles Of the Aldrich bill, believing
that the Federal reserve banks having
been established purely for the pur-
pose of stabilizing the commercial and
financial operations of the United
States, should be governed exclusively
by the people of the United States
and in establishing the Federal reserve
board to exercise this governing func-
ton we do not think 1t proper to per-
nit private persons to have represen-
