PEACE ENDS BALKAN WAR
TREATY SIGNED BY DELEGATES
OF SERVIA, GREECE, MONTE
NEGRO AND ROUMANlA.
Threat of Allies to Occupy 8uIgar Cap
ital fastened the Peace
Pact.

Bucharest-Peace was concluded
between the Balkan states and the
preliminary treaty signed by the dele
gates of Servia, Greece, Montenegro,
Roumania and Bulgaria. The agree
ment was arrived at only after an
other exhibition of the utter helpless
ness of Bulgaria to face her ring of
enemies.
The discussions in the peace confer
ence threatened to become intermln-
able, but M. Majoresco, the Rouman-
ian premier, and president of the con-
ference, clinched matters by threat
ening that unless Bulgaria accepted
the modified frontier proposed by the
allies, Roumania's army would occupy
Sofia This threat had the desired
effect and an agreement was arrived
at after numerous private cOnsulta-
lions between the delegates and a
four hours sitting of the confer
ence.
The frontier, as agreed to, starts at
a point on the old frontier west of the
Struma river, follows the watershed
to west of the town of Strumnitza,
thence runs almost through the Stru-
ma valley to the z.Belesh mountains
and thence easterly in almost a
straight line to the Mester river, thus
leaving the town of Strumnitza, the
port of Lagos and Kanthi to Bulgaria
and the port of Lagos and Kanthi to
Bulgaria and the port of Kavala to
Greece. The new frontier is a deep
disappointment to the Bulgarians, who
still nurse hopes for it's eventual re-
vision by the powers.
1t is believed that an agreement for
the rehabilitation of the various ar
mics will be signed. The news that
peace has been arranged caused great
rejoicing.
The trouble between the allies arose
from the difficulty of dividing the ter
ritory captured by them from Turkey.
Severe fighting followed and many
thousand men were killed or wounded.
Soon after the beginning of hostili-
ties numerous massacres and acts of
pillage were reported to have been
committed by the various armies.

BANDITS ROB MAIL train
TWO MEN HOLD UP THE FAST
LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE,
NEAR CALERA, ALABAMA.
Three Mail Clerks Observation-Disclosures
bers Escape as the Train Enters
Birmingham.

Birmingham, Ala.-The mail car on
the fast Louisville and Nashville train
No. 4 from New Orleans was robbed
by two unknown white men. All of
the registered mail was taken, but no
estimate could be made of the amount
secured.
The train reached Birmingham on
time at 1897 p. m, and two of the
mail clerks, George Hoover and T. G.
York, were found handcuffed so that
the irons had to be filed from their
wrists, while Chief Clerk Harry Ev-
erett had his thumbs securely tied
together with heavy Irvine.
The robbers boarded the mail car
at Calera, on the dark side, after the
train had begun to move. The clerks
state that they were Immediately COW
cred with pistols and ordered to turn
faces turned to the wall.
Chief Clerk Everett says he has no
idea how much of value there was in
the registered mail, but that the men
took it ALL He says they were both
short, slender men, but they did not
get a good look at the robbers faces,
as they were forced to keep their own
faces tprned to the wall.
The clerks first saw the robbers
jump to the mail car on their hands
and knees. One robber kept his pis-
tolls on the men while the other ram
sacked the mail. The distance from
Calera to Birmingham is 33 miles so
that they had plenty of time to make
a thorough job. No one else on the
train apparently knew that the rob-
bers were aboard.
When the engineer stopped for the
Southern crossing at Fourteenth street
in Birmingham, he happened to look
back and saw the two men jump from
the mail car door. This aroused his
suspicion, and an investigation reveal
ed the handcuffed clerks.

Four Men Killed in Wreck.

United States Wants Religious Liberty
Clause in Treaty.

Bucharest.-At the Balkan peace
conference M. Majoresco, president of
the conference, read a note from the
United States government expressing
a desire to see inserted in the treaty
of Bucharest a stipulation securing
civil and religious liberty to the pop

may be coded or annexed.
M. Majoresco remarked that such
liberty was the law in every country
participating in the peace conference,
Washington.-The intention of the
American government to make repre-

that it was not generally known even
in official circles that note had been
