SERBS NOW A CITY OF
 MUTILATED CORPSES
Greek King Gives Details of Bulgarian
 Atrocities.

New York, July liking Constan- tine of Greece from his headquarters at Hadji Bei1ik. near Seres, sends to the Associated Press a detailed ac count of the atrocities of the Bull garians in Macedonia. He declares that only the precipitate flight of the inhabitants of the villages and towns prevented 9 still greater slaughter. Following is the kings message in part through Colonel Dousmani, chief of general staff of his majesty:
 Associated Press. New York.
 Hadji Bielik, July 17.-In reply to your despatch of the 18th instant, I have the honor to communicate to you the following information on the Bull garian atrocities. committed at the and Mussulman inhabitants of Mace donia
 tThe first city to be sceurged was Nigrita. A large number of it's peo pie who had remained at their homes after the events occurring in the Pangheon district were mastered 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 correspondents of Le Temps and the Daily Telegraph who visited the locality the day after the massa- creS, merely confirmed in greater detail NNGESNSNAANo our troops.
 @The precipitate flight of the peas ants in the surrounding villages is the only reason why we have not a great CT number of victims to deplore. On our left wing seven hundred MuSSul mans of the environments Of Kilkish, a nest of Bulgarians cornitadjiS- Cir regular troops) shared the same fate. Two of our officers who in a bay onet assault had been left lying wounded on the field a few steps from the enemy's trenches, were found, when the attack was renewed. to have had their eyes goUged out.
 At Doiran, before their flight, the enemy dragged the metropolitan and thirty of the leading citizens from their homes. They have not been seen again
 "The religious leader of the Mussul mans with tears in his eyes, told us of the spoliations and pi1age of the Bull garian officers and soldiers.
 At Strumin1tza fortunately the en- emy had to kill only two of the persons imprisoned. But all these things are as nothing compared with what hap pened at Dir1irhissar, Seres and Dox- ato where everything was sacked by fire and sword.
 'tThe city of Seres is nothing more than a mass of smoking ruins. field with mutflated corpses of old men and women and children.
 'NThe consuIs general of Italy and Austria at SaIoniIi who visited Seres for the purpose Of establishing to what extent their nationals had sui fered lave told us that the accounts published in the newspapers gave but a faint idea of the terrible reality.
 "At Dinirhissar the exhumation of the mutiIated bodies of the n1etropol- ttan and the leading citizens have con- vinced us that our enemy is not sat- isfied to pillage. burn. despoil and nur der. but he rejoices in torturing his victims.
 'Doxato is no longer anything but a pool of blood. Of its $500 inhabitants only 15O remain. A great number of the little villages along the route taken by the fleeing army were the scenes of like atrocities."

M M. Mulhall for whom bespeak the greatest possible consideration from every member of the National Assoc1a- ton of Manufacturers"
 Tt is thoroughly clear to you that in order to have any standing with the elected and appointed otfl- cials of our country, whether state or federal, we must be able to show them that the business men and the manufa cturers of our country are a factor to be reckoned with in poli- ties. We must be able to prove to the man who Is blacklisted by the labor unions because he refused to legislate special privileges to labor organiza- tions and the demagog1ies that he will not suffer at the polls on account or his patriotism and his devotion to duty.
 This makes necessary a great deal of field work and Colonel Mu1hall Is In charge of this nndst important branch of our activity, His record is enviabie and his fidelity. integrity and honesty beyond aunestien. You can speak with him in strict confidence, and yeu can rest assured that when he calls uPen yeu it will be on a sub- ieet most important to you and to atl of US.

 NEGROS HUNGER STRIKE
Fried Chicken and Juicy Water
 neIon Did the Trick.

Elizabeth, N. J., July 1.-The man ner in which Warden Charles W. Dodd. of the county jail, broke up a hun ger strike today may set a useful example, he thinks, to the keepers of English prisons who become custoSians of suffragettes who seek to gain their liberty by refusing to eat. William Turner, negro prisoner, incarcerated last Sunday, sought to gain his liberty in a similar manner. This morning the negro had been forty eight hours without food when Warden Dodd ap- peared at the door of his cell with a steaming plate of fried chicken and a large section of juicy watermelon. Turner sntffed and his hunger strike came to an abrupt end.
