London, July 1-Fighting between
the Greeks and Servians on the one
side and the Bulgarians on the other
was still proceeding today along the
line from Istip to Eleuthera, accord
ing to a dispatch from Sofia. All the
governments concerned declare that
their troops have been instructed not
to take the offensive, unless attacked
and each party is trying to throw on
the other the responsibility for the
commencement of the war between
nations which hitherto have been allies.
Except in isolated cases the Bulgar-
ians in Salonikf offered only a feeble
resistance to the Greeks and the lat
ter sustained no losses.
Uskup, July 1.-Fighting ceased at
6 O'Clock this morning between the
Bulgarian and Servian troops in this
district The Servian commander esti-
mates that 100000 BulgaRian soldiers
participated in the engagement which
was of a serious character.

This was the final settlement of the

summated at o'clock this afternoon
Positive permission to make such a
proposition to the city was secured by

ed rather than the Gage park line this
year. the South Topeka line by Decem-
Der 81, 1915, and the West Eighth street
extension by December 81, 1916.
The final settlement means a long
wait for the Gage park line if the rail-
way company takes all the time that
is permitted to it under the terms of
the agreement.
An ordinance covering the agree
ment, providing for a new bond in the
sum of 81 900 to insure the compile
ton of the work promised, and cover
ing the details of the agreement, will
be presented to the city commission N

The Roads Struggle for Existence
The Kansas Southwestern has been
given every advantage ~ business and
nature to develop into a paying line.
In the first place, it is operated be-
tween two good Kansas towns-Arkan-
sas City and Anthony. The road, 60
miles in length, taps three counties rich
in agriculture-Cowley, Harper and
Sumner. In the second place, the road

Here is the trouble:
With all the advantages of clear utie,
with good territory, and vain no -llcb te
power expense outside the rental OF santa
Fe locomotives, the Kansas southwestern
is a failure because of low rates and be-
cause of the fact that it is not clinging to
the support of a trunk line.
In the last five years the road has with
stood an annual deficit of 5000 or total
of $4,000 The total revenue derived from
tolls and charges for carrying freight and
passengers and from all other sources has
been insufficient to pay operating eX-

Clean Them Out

The number OF dens OF iniquity in

speak well for the morals OF It's peo-
pie, but the fact that thousands OF
transients are brought here on rec
reation and business during the year,
has much to do with the support OF
these dens of iniquity. Elimination
of vice resorts Is urged by many while
others declare that segregation is the
only way in which to handle this ter
rible blight. That houses must be
