CRUELTIES IN MACEDONIA
Are Not Committed by Bulgarians
Against Fellow Bulgars.
70 the Editor of The Tribune.

70 the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR Some OF the papers have published
statements, emanatng evidently from Ser
bian or Greek sources, attributing cruel,ies
to the Bulgarian forces operating in Mace.
donia, especially about Prilep and Monastir
One who knows nothing about the population
Of Macedonia will be naturally taken In by
these statements. To refute them it is sui.
cient to state that there is no Serb popula-
ton either in or about Monastir. The major.
ity Of the population there, as in the distrc,
of Prilep, is Bulgarian, and not only are they
unlikely to fee before the Bulgarian forces
but will welcome them with open arms az
their saviors and liberators from the Serbian
oppression.
The Bulgarian forces that are operating
in Macedonia consist mostly Of Macedonian
volunteers, who, to the number OF $4,000,
il is reported, have enlisted in the Bulgarian
army. The women and girls said TO be
fleeing from these volunteers are, in many
cases, wives, daughters and sisters OF these
men who are fighting against the Serbisns
il defence of their homes and country. ],
is rot likely that they will suffer any harm
q. the hands of the invaders. The majority
of the Macedonians being Bugars, and
hearty sympathy with Bulgaria, all stories
about the Bulgarian troops practising any
crucltes and outrages upon them are to be
received with great deal Of salt.
Those interested in the above facts, upon
request 20 the Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace, Washington, D. C., viii
receive one of the best and most worthy re-
ports ever compiled, made after similar re-
ports were mendaciously spread by Serbian
and Greek sources in the Second Balkan Wal

CLASS CREATIONS
 WILL RETURN HERE
"Potash and Perlmutter" to Be at the Jefferson Friday and Saturday With
 Matinee Saturday

Peruse almost any ancient comedy and you will realize that the classic comedy was no laughing matter. De cidedly that is just what Potash x Perlmutter'' is, laughing matter, so hilarous that could the classic muse or comedy but view it she would be like Niobe, "all tears It is not in accord with a single dismal canon of her art. It is made for merriment and yet here and there it is tense with a pathos that grips at the heart strings. It is not classic but it is overpoWerlngly human and to be human A to weep as little as may be and to laugh as much as possible.
 Potash & Perlmutter requires no introduction to Birmingham theatre goers, as all patrons, of amusement know the creations of Montague Glass and a goodly number saw the play upon it's previous presentation here. .Ihe characters of Abe Potash and Mawruss Perlmutter can be called creations only because they have been projected by genius into the literary and dramatic realm In reality they are not crea- tions at all--they are too real.
 When an audience loses its self-con- sciousness altogether and becomes ab- sorbed in the play as they do in Pot ash and Perlmutter," it seems to be proof positive that they are face to face with a masterpiece. no matter what their critical faculties may try to tell them. They might be at a loss to define or explain why the play is so exuuisitely and unfailingly, funny, but they can never be in doubt that it is
 The return performance of 'Potash & Perlmutter' will be given at the lief ferson Friday and Saturday with mat inee Saturday.

Arson Promoter a Favorite

From the St. Louis Dispatch.
 The downfall of Herbert O. Baker, confessed arson promoter, has been the reigning topic of interest in Webster Groves, where he was known to every one who had lived any length of time in the suburb
 Condemnation of Bakers misdeeds, among his neighbors and acquaint- ances, is tempered by sympathy for his father and mother, Mir. and Mrs. Charles Q. Baker, who are among the most respected residents of Webster Groves, and for his sister, Miss Edith Baker, a graduated of Washington uni- yersity, and a teacher.
 Mrs. Bakers pride in her sons ap- to make money, has been matter of comment among acquaintanees of the family. Baker spent money freely on sisters travelling expenses to the Pan ama-Pacific exposition early in the summer. He bought several oil paint ings as gifts for his mother.
 Bakers acquaintances say he is 30 years old, though his age has been given to the police as 2S. He is grad uate of Culver Military academy, in Indiana and was active in a local or ganization of alumni of that school
 He has owned four motor cars at diff ferent times in the last feaw years, and has frequently rented them at times when his own car was in the repair shop. He lately negotiated for l2-
