BAR TENDING ONLY
CLERKS JOB NOW

Being bartender now is an easy
job with short hours and no bounc-
ing to do. No longer does bartender
have to be an expert mixer of drinks
and an arbitrator in disputes nor
does he have to emerge from his re-
treat behind the bar to eject dis
orderly customers. The bartender in
Florida is now merely clerk in u
store. Anybody can be q bartender
Time was when bartender had to
be sober, reliable and Industrious
man who had tact and a fine knowl-
edge of human nature. He had to
be diplomat and always in posses
sion of his wits. But his calling is
doomed. The saloon is soon to pass
away in this country and even per-
sons of middle age probably will
live long enough to see the day when
soloon is merely something that ex-
listed once upon a time, like the
mammoth and the sabre-toothed
tiger.-St. Petersburg Independent

TWO DEMOCRATIC YEARS

Speaker Clark made good showing
for the Democratic party. Perhaps
|it would be more accurate to say, as
the speaker really says, that the
Democratic party has made a
wonderful showing for itself and he

done. The old pretense that the
Democratic party was party of

exDloded for. as the speaker says, the
party II two years has enacted more
c0nstructive legislation than the Re-
publican party placed on the statute
books IN two decades, and as he also
bays It did it with the help of con-
stdefnble number of Republicans
Practically all the new laws the
Democrats enacted were stronger
than the party for they passed by
majorities larger even than the large
majorities by which the Democrts
control congress.
The Democrats legislated on sub
tectS on which. in general way
the Republicans promised legislation
without keeping their promises.
Their promises were never intended

fact that they were not definite as

BALKAN STATES CONFER; :,
MAY ENTER WAR SOON
Roumania to Strike Austria While
Bulgaria and Greece Turn Up
on the Beleaguered Turks.

Bucharest. Roumania. May 90
The foreign minister Of Roumania
is now engaged in a series Of conver-
sations with the diplomatic repre-
sentatives Of Bulgaria and Greece.
These gatherings will decide the mo-
mentous question Of Balkan inter-
vention in the struggle now going on
in Europe. The first direct result
will be the action Of Roumania, for
it is an open secret that if the other
Balkan states, particularly Bulgaria,
can be bound to respect the Rou-
mania boundary during her presence
into the European war that this
country will follow the example of
Italy.
1t is understood that action by
Roumania will mean eventual action
by Greece and. Bulgaria, both OF
whom are expected to attack Turkey
and regain territory in that section
of Europe while Roumania throws
the force of her arms towards the
north in assisting Russia in t task OF
crushing Austria. This is CO 5idered
to be the best possible action by each
of the three countries but the success
of the schemes of the Roumanlan
statesman depends upon the attitude
OF Bulgaria and the rectificatlon by
the other Balkan states Of the former
boundaries of Bulgaria.

DANIELS TO INVESTIGATE
SHOWING OF SUBMARINES
Growing Importance Of Such Craft
Too Much Attention to Fit
ness Can Nt be Given.

While unofficial reports indicating
that twelve of the submarines assign
ed to participate in the war game
with the Atlantic fleet were at least
partially ineffective, Secretary Dan
iels announced his determination to
make thorough investigation to find
the cause of and, if possible, remedy
for the too frequent breakdowns OF
the navy's underwater craft.
with the growing Importance OF
the submarine as an instrument OF
warfare" said the secretary, Il feel
that too much attention can not be
paid to this branch Of the service.
What I am most interested in is
in finding out whether these break
downs were such as must be expected
in more or less experimental boats,
or whether they were due to faults
of construction that should have been
remedies or to uefects in our system
Of reporting and repairing.
I'm the meantime the plans for
the twenty-six new submarines au-
thorized by the Sixty-third congress
are being pushed with all possible
speed. Bids will be invited for their
actua! construction next week. These
boats include two more of the new
sea-going submarines, which we are
going to try to make the last word
in such craft"

MUST STOP THEIR ANARCHY;
WILSON TO WARN MEXICANS
Will Send Note to All Factions Tell
ing Them to Get Together
or Outsiers Will Act.

There are plain indications tina,
from now on the administration vii
vigorously seek to end the chaos n
Mexico Until Present Wilson makes
public on Tuesday statement he has
prepared, details of his plans will not
be known. but it was understood the
various Mexican leaders will be in
formed that the time has come fol-
them to stop fighting between them
selves and agree on a government
which the United States can recog-
nize.
1t is expected that the statement
will recite famine conditions in the
southern republic as Duval West and
other government agents have por-
trayed them. The president will point
out how patiently the American gov
ernment has waited for the Mexican
factions to adjust the problem them
selves, and how helpless the Mexican
people generally have become in the
hands of the military elements.
The statement, which is to be sent
to all the factional leaders, will not
announce the course of the United
States, except to follow in case an
agreement does not result, but will
point out lat conditions have be-
come intolerabIe and must be rene
died by outside influences if there
are no elements in the country with
sufficient capacity to wrest the re-
public from its state Of anarchy.
The advisability of placing an en-
barge on the expectation of arms and
ammunition to Mexico has been urg-
ed as one means of putting a stop to
fighting there.

PRZEMYSL is THREATENED; +
FOOD SUPPLY ENDANGEREI,
Austro-Ge Troops Continue. Eff.
fort to Encircle Russian Garri-
son in Galician Town.

London reports Friday: Przemysl,
garrisoned now by Russians, once
more is threatened with Investment.
Just as the Russians, after sur
rounding Przemysl and starving out
it's Austrian defenders, forced the
surrender of the fortress late in
March, so Austro-G German troops who
have driven a wedge through central
Galicia, now are attempting double
thanking movement and with an at
tack growing in intensity. are seek
ing to. encircle Przemysl from the
north and the southeast.
Vienna declares progress is being
made in both directions and if the
advance is not checked Przemysl will
be isolated from the rest of the Rus
sian army or the Russian troops
which fell back to the San will be
forced into further retreat.
This situatio-. in Galicia is of great
strategic Importance, and even the
British press comedies the position of
Przemysl is serious. 1t is described
as the key to the Whole Russian posi-
ton in Galicia, and its fall would
mean that the railroad running east
ward to Lemberg, the main artery of
the Russian supplies in this region,
would fall into Austrian hands. Re-
ports that this railroad line already
has been severed were without con-
f1rmation.

OFFER TO SETTLE CLAIMS;
ENGLAND IS READY TO PAY
Informs Cotton Representatives That
Money is Available for Sew
enteen Shipments.

The British foreign office announc-
ed Thursday night that government
that it was ready and anxious to
make payment at once. The represen-
tative, however, admitted his inabil
| ity at present to make any definite
claim in respect of any one Of the
cargoes on these vessels, but he has
undertaken to obtain the necessary
information in order to present his
claim as soon as possible.
The representative of the shippers
of cotton on. another vessel has been
similarly informed of the govern
ment's readiness to make immediate
settlement, but he also acknowledged
he was not present in a position to
put forward his claim. Cargoes on
six other vessels are being dealt with
similarly.
Whilst most anxious to satisfy
all claims as promptly as possible,
says the statement issued by the for
eign office, ''it is obvious that the
process Of arriving at speedy settle
ment is delayed by the necessity of
establishing the real ownership OF
each consignment, and Of ascertain
ing whether it has passed from the
shipper to the consignee and who is
the right person to receive the pay
ment. The question is complicated
by the fact that Swedish consignees
of a number of cargoes have insri-
tuted proceedings here with the view
of preventing the purchase by the
government from American shippers
of cargoes, which, it is alleged, al
ready have been bought and paid for
by these Swedish consignees.

Petrograd reports Friday: Uru-

Urumiah is in Azerbaijan province,

Turks.
Between fifteen and seventeen
thousand natives are reported to haye

ton Of DR.. Harry P. Packard of the
American Presbyterian mission at
lease twelve thousand have taken
refuge in the Caucasus. and it has
been estimated that twenty thousand
are de, d or missing.
The entire Urumiah district has
been terrorized by wandering bands
of Kurds and by Turkish regulars.
Appeals have been made to the
American state department to take
measures for the protection Of Ameri-

ernment has been urged to make
every effort possible to occupy the
district.
There have been many reports Of
atrocities and the wholesale slaugh-

been handicapped by lack OF guns

RELY ON ALLIED PRESSURE
TOSAVE RUSSIAN FORTRESS
London Hopes Germans Will Have to
Transfer Galician Forces 10
Itaiy and the West.

Around the great fortress OF
Przemysl mighty battle is still rag
ing. The Austro-German armies are
making a supreme effort to cut on
the stronghold and free three armies
for operations against Italy and the
allies in the west.
Although great human secrlhces
are being. made, London says pro-
gress latterly has been extremely
slow as the Russians have had time
to bring up large .reinforcements.
North of Przemysl the Russians
apepar to be more than holding their
own, but to the southeast the Aus
trians and Germans claim further
headway and now command with
their artillery the railway between
Przemysl and Grodek, which runs
Just south Of the main line between
Przemysl and Lemberg. From Lem
berg the Russians draw large por-
ton of their reinforcements and sup
plies.
The battle is still undecided and
hopes run high in the allied camps
that the Russians can hold their lines
until the advance of the Italians and
the Strengthening of the Anglo
French armies compel the Germans
to withdraw part Of their armies
from Galicia.
