Thomas Harper, whose police duties

about Bum, the decrepit old fayorite

or he would use Franz as a cereal some

It's not Bum, but the press that

his voice tremulous with indignation.
These papers go too far. They ought

from rheumatism and gout has de-

Nobody pays any attention to him
any more. He's practically useless.
It's pity such a report was circulat-

would have killed Bum. Franz is the

story of his downfall at the hands Of
Pun. Since Franz Joined the force

dren of Alexandria pending the com
pletion Of the new high school build
ing is question that will have TO DC

of the construction of the new high
school building, was unwilling to give
an estimate of the time that it would
be required to complete the structure
He said the best estimate the bid
ders on the building would give was
six months, and he did not think that
: the city could do much better thar
this time. Work was not started
until May LIST. The work is proceed
ing as rapidly as possible. All Of the
brick work has been completed, thi
roof framing is up and the heating
and ventilating work is practically
finished.

allies have won over the waverirg
Balkans states of Greece and Bu!ga-
ria and that they will soon. throw
their military forces against the leu
tonic Turkish armies is indicated by
advices received from the near East.
A dispatch from Athens says the
Bulgarian legation there has announ-
ced that the proposals made by the
Entente powers have been found
satisfactory to his government at
Sofia.
Another Athens message brings
the information that former Premier
Venizelos again is in the saddle Of
the Greek government and thai he
will form a war cabinet when parli"-
ment reconvenes on August 10. THIS
means the retirement Of Premier
Gounaris, who came into power when
Venizelos fell with the collapse of his
plans for aiding the allies.
