TURKS BEGIN
ACTIVE MOVE
Ottoman Troops Are Pushing Northward
as Far as Adrianople--No Pro-
test Comes from Europe.

Constantinople, July l6.-The Turkish
government is determined to push for
ward the march Of Ottoman troops as
far as the stronghold of Adrianople, cap
tured by the Bulgarians during the re-
cent Balkan war.
Although Constantinople official cir
cles are reticent on the subject it IS un-
derstood that such forward step is a
deliberate plan of the Turkish govern
ment which intends to take this bold
action not only because material ad-
vantage will be gained but also because
of the moral effect on the internal stu
alton in Turkey.
Thus far the European powers have
not addressed any communication to
the Turkish government on the advance
of the Ottoman troops northward.
Full Confirmation of Atrocities.
Salonika, July 16.--Full confirmation
of the reported sacking and burning of
the Macedonian town of Seres by Bull
garian troops and of the crucifixion,
hacking to death or burning alive of
many inhabitants has been sent to the
Austrian government by Consul Gen
eral Kralx at Salonika, who says that
three quarters of the fourishing town OF
10000 is made smoking ruins.
Another horrifying store of massacre
reached here to-day from Doiran, 40
miles northwest OF here. Musselmen
there have made written declarations,
countersigned by three local Bulgarian
priests, stating that the Bulgarians
slaughtered 10000 Musselmens, who had
sought refuge in Doiran from the sur
rounding districts.

UNDERWOOD IS SURE:
TO WIN SAYS WATSON
Admission Man Finds Rural
Sentiment Overwhelmingly
for the House Leader

That Oscar w. Underwood is assuredly
the winner in the senatorial race is the
opinion of L. c. Watson, secretary of
the Admission Chamber of Commerce,
who was in birmingham for n few hours
yesterday Mr.. Watson further stated
that the young men of the state were
strongly aligned behind Mr.. Underwood 5
candidacy.
What impresses one so much of the
strength and popularity of Oscar w. I'm
derwood,' said Mr.. Watson, lis the fact
that the thinking and progressive young
men of the state are enthusiastic in their
devotion to the cause of Mr. Underwood =
they have followed his career and are
familiar with his steady grind to the top
of the ladder and will vote for Mr.. I'm
derwood in preference to any other can
didate.
In the city here I understand you are
told that the country vote will be against
Mr.. Underwood. l have not found it so.
In Admission [ believe we have a fairly
good opportunity of noting the sentiment
of the rural districts, and it seems to
an impartial observer to be vastly in
favor of Mr.. Underwood The country
folks are saying: We're going for Oscar;
We'll make him President some day. OF
course with this sentiment in the country
and the cities being overwhelmingly in
his favor, the question of who is to be
the next United States senator from Ala
bama is settled to the satisfaction of the
responsible citizens of this great southern
commonwealth. There is no doubt in my
mind but that Mr.. Underwood will be
elected by a large majority"

ARMY-NAVY GAMES ARE
DEVELOPERS OF HEROES

Navy won three, one of the star players
on the Annapolis teams was Worth Bag
ley. who several years later proved him
self a hero of real battle by giving UP
his life in the early part of the Spanish
American war. Ensign Bagley was the
first United States officer to be killed in
the war, and he met death while directing
a bombardment by his gunboat upon a
Spanish fort.
Prominent among the Army's football
heroes of the past stands Lieutenant DAILY,
who is head coach of the West Point
team this year. DAILY starred in the
game of 1901, when he was a plebe at
the Military academy. He had entered
West Point that year with the prestige
of having been quarterback of the Har-
ward team during the three preceding
years, and he was expected to add TO
his reputation in the Army Navy game.
DAILY Exceeds Expectations
The Army won that notable contest by
the score of II to 5, and Daily exceeded
expectations by scoring all of the VIM
ming teams points. He drop-kicked a field
goal in the first half for points, which
the Navy equaled by scoring a touch
down, but failing to kick the goal At
the beginning of the second half DAILY
received the kickoff, and dashed SO yards
through the entire Navy team for a
touchdown, from which he also kicked
the goal.
An interesting coincidence is that both
of this years rival coaches, DAILY. and
Lieutenant d. l.. Howard of the Navy,
were graduated from West Point and
Annapolis, respectively, in 1905, and spent
the same four years at the academies.
They never met on the gridiron, however,
because DAILY played football at West
Point only during his first two years,
1901 and 1902; while Howard did not make
the Navy varsity until his last two years,
1904 and 1905.

STATEMENT ISSUED
BY CITY ENGINEER
IN REGARD To CUT
Kirkpatrick Says His De-
partmnet Is Neither
Expensive Nor Ex-
travagant

City Engineer Walter G. Kirkpatrick
has issued statement in regard to the
cuts made in his department by the COM
mission, in which he says the engineering
department has been neither expensive
nor extravagant in the past. He calls
attention to the immense amount of con-
struction in Birmingham during the year
and says the engineering cost was we'll
under what a practicing engineer would
have charged to have done the work
His statement is as follows:
From the fall of the ak on the engi.
neerlng department the impression might
be left that the department is either ex
pensive or extravagant. This is far from
correct. During the past year more con-
struction has been turned out than in
any previous year except 1910, when the
incoming suburbs piled up their efforts
and the years work totaled about the
same as this year. The value of the
construction this year has been about
$S50,0O0, and has been greater than any
two other years excepting 1910; but the
ratio of cost for salaries has been for
the past three years SO, 10 and 100 per
cent. This year the whole cost of engi-
neering, including salaries and expenses,
is only 4 per cent of the cost of construc-
tion, and the entire salaries paid by the
city have been only $7137.
"If the cost of the engineering de-
partment was paid for at per cent, the
ratio which is usually charged for such
work by engineers in general practice,
the city would this year derive a revenue
of about $500 after paying the actual
cost of the department.
I'm this estimate is included only the
construction planned and supervised; in
addition the department performed vast
amount of administrative and special
work, which cannot be reckoned on n
percentage basis. The administrative
work includes the assessment of all pub
lie Improvements, the keeping up of the
record, and thousands of small things
The special work this year includes plans
for grade separation, for systematic street
names, park work. incinerators and other
projects The cost of the department
compares favorably with that of any
other city and the employees are paid less
than those of other departments as far
as comparisons can be made.

CELEBRATE VICTORY

Enthusiastically celebrated by West Point
ers and their friends here tonight at
the hotel where the Army squad made
its headquarters Army officers, most of
the cadet corps and Society people sat
at dinner while the Army's gridiron
heroes and Col. +. w. Sladen and his
staff of West Point viewed the scene
from smaller tables set in the boxes over
looking the main floor of the ball room
There were many reunions of veteran
officers and former classmates. When
the football players entered they were
greeted by a tremendous ovation A
military hop was held after the dinner
Friends of the Navy did not forsake
the defeated team. The Annapolis play
ers attended a theatre and then returned
to their hotel, where they were guests

Player Distinguishes Him
self by Brilliant Playing
in an Emergency-Brown
Star of 1912

New York, November 29-Many heroes
are uncovered in Army-Navy games, the
same as the Brickleys the Guernseys, the
the Guyons are produced in the gridiron
battles between the other big teams. OF
course, every member of a winning Army
or Navy team is regarded as a hero by
the West Point cadets or the Annapolis
midshipmen, but there many games
in that series that have been won by
the individual prowess of some one player.
Last year the hero was Brown, who
twice booted the ball over the Army 8
goal from field placement kicks for the
only scores of the game. In each of the
two previous years, 1911 and 1910, the same
Navy player, Jack" Dalton, a dashing
halfback, was the hero. In each game. he
kicked a field goal for the only score.
Brown accomplished in one game the feat
that Dalton spread over two contests.
The Navy's gridiron heroes are closely
associated with kicking field goals, and
Annapolis teams have won many more
victories by that method of scoring than
has the Army. Prior to the DAYS of
Brown and Balton, in the game of 1906
Percy Northcroft, a Navy tackle, set 4
precedent for Brown by twice dropping
back from the scrimmage line and kick
ing field goals, one of them being from
the 4S-yard line. Besides being the chief
figure in the Navy's 1910 victory in that
game, Northcroft broke a string of -four
Army victories and a tie which had been
the results of the preceding five games
