BALKANS STILL
THREATENED BY
INTERNAL WARS
Stories Of MdSSaCreS, Street
Fights and IntGTneCine Con-
fliGt Heard Daily.
[By Associated Press. ]

London, June 3.-The troubles OF
Mexico and Ulster have wholly over
shadowed public interest in the near
east during recent months. But the
formal ending of the Balkan war has
brought no rest to that long suffer-
ing region Thrace, Macedonia and
Albania are boiling with racial and
religious strife. Stories of fighting,
of persecution and OF massacres come
TO the London papers from many cor
respondents, and are printed in small
type with little comment. Europe has
come to accept thesse conditions as
matter Of course.
TIE changes OF boundaries and of
sovereignty which resulted from the
peace treaties, and the launching of
Albania as an autonomous state, are
responsible for the new era of strug-
gle and butchery. Every power con-
cerned in the new allotments is try
ing to impress not only its laws but
its own state religion upon those
who have become its subjects, If the
current historians are to be believed.
Forcible conversions" by whole
sale seem the order of the day Be-
tween the Christian and the Mussul-
man dispensations, between Greeks,
Turks, Bulgarians Roumanians, Ser
vians and Albanians, there is little
choice of standards of civilization.
Much of the Information comes from
Athens which presents events only
from the standpoint OF Greek inter

ests; much is disseminated by the
newspapers of Vienna, which is
fountain of canards.
The Turkish government is deter
mined to drive the whole Greek pop-
ulation from Thrace. according to ac-
counts from Greek sources. 1t has
organized a campaign of oppression
which is making life impossible for
people of Greek affiliations in the
country about Kirk Kilisse, Lulu
BurEas and all the land which Bull
garla conquered in the first war and
lost through the final treaty. BY
Greeks is meant the adherents of the
Greek church, since nationality Is
recognized as following religion rath-
er than blood in those regions.
The Greeks are pictured as having
ms desperate times in Thrace under
the rod Of the Young Turk. as the
Bulgarians had in Macedonia under
Abdul Hamid The methods of ter
rorism are the same.
Irregular troops, who get their liv-
ing by loot, and bands Of so-culled
brigands, all supposed to be acting
under inspiration from CONSTANT
nople. are over running the country
Burning villages light the sky, as
during the days of war: cattle and
sheep are driven away: piliage and
ravishing go on. Life is made so in
tolerable that Greek inhabitants are
glad to escape to the coast with what
bundles they can carry on their backs
Athens reports that 5000 refugees
have arrived az Salonika by ships.
and that 5000 more are waiting on
the coast to get away.
The head of the Greek church at
Constantinople persuaded the British
Ambassador to demonstrate with the
Sublime Porte. and orders We're tele-
graphed to the local governors to re-
patriate all refugees. Truth" says
that these orders were meant only
for the Ambassadors benefit, and
that the governors were given the
word secretly to disregard them. That
was a familiar strategem of the old
Turkish diplomacy. when pressure
from the powers became too acute to
be ignored.

part does not lack enterprise at op-
preston. if witness from non-Greek

SWEDE AND HUN ATHLETES
TO MEET AT BUDAPEST
I BY Associated Press. /

Stockholm, June Swedish ath-
letes will go to Budapest next month
to accept the challenge of the Hun
garians for track and field meet,
including all the events of the Olym-
pic program. The date set is June
81 to 2S.
The original challenge for a meet
at this time came from the German
Athletic Federation, but the Ger
mans have lately advised the Swedish
authorities that they will not be in
form for International competition
before next year There was keen
disappointment here over this news,
as the athletic progress of Germany
has been watched with great interest
and a German-Swedish meet doubt
less would have proved an exciting
affair. Sweden looked about for an
other opponent, so that all of the
preliminary work might not be vast
ed, and Hungary has now consented
to take Germany's place.

U. S. DIVINE TO PREACH TO
AMERICANS IN NORWAY WHO
ATTEND BIG CELEBRATION
IRy Associated Press. /

Christina, June 3.-The thous-
ands of Americans who are expected
in Norway this summer to attend
the celebration of the centenary of
Norwegian independence will not
lack for spiritual guidance pro-
vided by their own countrymen while
they are here.
An anonymous donor of Chicago
has provided for the erection of a
tent, seating 5000 people, in which
evangelistic services will be held
throughout the celebration. DR.. A.
c. Dixon, pastor of the Metropoli-
tan tabernacle. Spurgeon's famous
curch, in London, will conduct the
services for several weeks in June.
DR.. Dixon is an American and he will
be known to many of his auditors. He
will preach twice daily, once with
an interpreter for the benefit of the
Norwegians, and once without. On
Lis return to London, DR.. Dixon ex-
poets to welcome a large number of
Americans to the Tabernacle, where

sources be credited. Restrictive
laws against the Jews in Salonika
have been made so strong that 10000
are leaving that once prosperous port.
The battalions of Greeks from Thraee
seeking asylum, and OF departing
Jews, number between two and three
thousand persons daily, so that all
shipping is crowded and the normal
life and business are as much dis
turbed as they We're during the days
OF war. An important factor of the
upheaval is that both the Greeks of
Tbrace and the Jews of Salonika
were the most prosperous peoples in
those communities, and their expul-
sion means disaster and ruin to both
Meanwhile the new ruler of AL
bania, Prince William of Wied who
bears the title Mpret, is having

claim 100000 adherents out of the
$4,000 inhabitants of the southern
portion OF the new Albania. These
people OF EpirGs known as Epirotes
refuse allegiance to the Mpret. Fierce
fighting has been going on about
koritZa and the rebellion is said to
be led by officers from the Greek
army. The Epirotes have the advan-
tage Of an organized army possessed
Of some artillery. Apart from n

which the near east has yielded in
many days came from this field The

a church at Corda all crucified alive.
I Women and children were among

/ One fact stands above impeach-

Balkan league has wrought no cure
Of the old racial feuds; only new

GEO. CARLSON MAY
RUN AS COP. FOR
THE GOVERNORSH|P
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, June 3.-During the past
week much talk OF prospective state
candidates has been heard in Denver
political circles. Two new names
have been associated with the office
Of governor-those of John Kurken-
dali, owner of the Denver Omnibus
Carriage Company, and District
Attorney Carlson of Weld county.
Both are well known in the northern
part of the state and are said to be
seriously contemplating entering the
race. They are Democrats. 1t is
said that Senator T. NJ. Patterson
will give definite answer to his
friends who have been insisting on
his announcing for governor to sue
coed the present incumbent. on June
IS. The senator is absent now, but
will return to Denver within the next
few days.
Two Denver Democrats want to
succeed Congressman George Kindel.
They are Wayne C.. Williams and
Ben C. Hillard. The former is an
assistant district attorney In Dem
yer, and the latter a member of the
school board. Both have political
aspirations Tor bigger things, and
their friends say there is little doubt
but that one or the other will give
Kindel a tussle II the latter makes
the race for reelection. Should
Williams decide he does not care to
run for congress he more than likely
will try for the attorney generalship
of Colorado against Fred Farrar,
who, it is said, intends to ask for re-
election.
There is no question but that Kin
del is out Of the political game He
is said to be in bad because OF his
opposition To President Wilson's
Mexican policy which he bitterly de-
nounced on the floors of congress.
Besides, his other congressional acts
have not set well with administra-
tion Democrats.
State Auditor Kenehan has
longing to succeed Secretary of
State Pearce, but as he knows he
will have to fight for the place there
is probability he will not attempt
to get the nomination. Kenehan has
never had to contest for any OF his
political nominations in the past and
naturally he feels IT would be no
easy job to land the seeretaryship
when there Will be several pretty
strong Democrats who will attempt
to get the place.

COLORADO ASKS
LOWER EXPRESS
RATES ORDERED
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, June 3.-The new block
express rates which were put into
effect in Colorado several months
ago have not been accepted as fair
to shippers within the state, and as
a result the matter has been called
to the attention of the Interstate
Commerce Commission by the state
railroad commission. The area COM
mittee of the Interstate Commerce
Commission now has these rates up
for revision and it is understood that
within the next ten days the commits
sion will be ready to make its re-
port.
1t is said by express companies
mere that the new rate system does
not work well, especially in cross
state districts. which applies to
Colorado. Conditions are not the
same In this state as they are in
eastern states. The mountain hauls
are much more expensive and a rate
that would be equitable in one state
because of different conditions,
would not be fair in Colorado. In
some instances a new rate so per
cent lower than the block system rate
has been asked for Colorado.
The system gives satisfaction on
Interstate consignments. but local
shipment rates under the new plan,
are unjust, hence the movement to
have these block rates adjusted by
the commission.

IN reply thereto that I stand first and
at all times with the farmer, but posi-.
lively oppose the so.called public
