PYTHIANS URGED TO
 GREATER ACTIVITY

Graham Perduc, grand chancellor Knights of Pythas of Alabama, is mak- ing an effort to make the month Of De- cember a notable one in the years work of the order and has sent out an official circular to each of the lodge deputies urging them to increased activity during the coming month so that the year may close showing much increased mem bership. Grand Chancellor Perdue has given much of his time and attention to tullding up the order throughout the state curing his tenure of office and has kept in personal touch with his repre- sentatives at the various lodges of the state. The official circular follows in part and is addressed to lodge deputles
 You are my personal representative
 in your lodge, and I trust you have been diligent in your work to increase US membership and usefulness in the com- munity where it exists. l earnestly call upon you to renew your energies during the month of December, so that your lodge and the order in Alabama will show an increase rather than de- crease in membership at the close of the term. Now is the time for your greatest activity in behalf of our cause. Don't hesitate to take hold and be leader in the work.
 My message in this Restore to mem bership as many suspended members of the order as you can before the 31st day of December. Bring in some new applications for membership, so that your lodge will be well represented on the Alabama Pythian peace tablet. Don let your lodge suspend it's members by the wholesale at the close of the term. If a member is unable to pay his dues, give him chance. We believe in men rather than in money. Write or call to see the members of your lodge who are in arrears for dues, and insist that suf- ficient sum be paid to keep them in good standing. Call on your master of finance and other members of the lodge to assist in this work. Have your lodge to assist in this work Have your lodge elect it's officers on the last meeting night in December without fail. Be present at the first meeting In January and install the officers after compli- ance with the law governing reports and per capita tax"

SHELTON ROBBED
 BY H|GHWAYMEN N Adamsville Farmer Meets Two ''Chummy" Fellows
 and Is Robbed

Edward Sketon, a farmer from Adams vile, was held up, robbed and beaten last night at 10 o'clock at Twenty seventh street and Ninth alley, north, by two white hghwaymen. The robbers got a cheap watch and 50 cents in money from their victim. Skelton was carried to the Hilman hospital in the police emergency patrol and given medical attention, He is suffering from severe cut over tho right temple and several bruises.
 After having his wounds dressed he was taken to the Northside jail, where he was given a bed for the night. Ac- cording to a statement made by Skelton, he met the two men near the Terminal station and went away with them.
 q had just got in town from Adams vile and decided to have a good time, said Skelton, who is about 20 years oi age. T met two white fellows after got a piece from the station and we all got pretty chumny. They seemed to be good fellows and I went with them. After we got to the place where they robbed me one of them pulled out a bottle and asked me if I wanted little drink. l Sdlu yes, dIu LOOK d SWdllOW or two. we all three kept on talking and laughing and I never thought they were robbers
 All at once one of them pulled a gun from his pocket and hit me hard lick on the side of the head. As I fell to the ground I remembered I had dollar in one of my pockets, so I pulled 1t out and put it through a hole in my trousers pocket. The two men hit me again anl then went through my pockets They took my 50 cents and watch, and ther cursed me two or three times and said they would kill me if I said anything about what had happened. Then they ran off.
 T got up and made my way to a store on the corner and asked the man where doctor was. He said up the street and I went out to find one. As I got about a block from the store met man who asked me what was the matter. 1 told him l had been beaten and robbed, SC he took me back to the store and called the police.
 Skelton said he had only been to town once before, and that he was not ac- quainted with anyone. The dollar he tried to save by placing it in the pocket with a hole in it was lost in the struggle Detectives Brannon and MacSe were de tailed on the case an dobtained a good description of the highwaymen from their victim.

 The detectives went to every pawn shop in town and finally found the watch that answered the description in one of them. The pawn broker described the negro who had pawned it. He was taken by the detectives to the shoeshop and inn mediately identified one of the negroes in the place as the one Who pawned the watch. The thief proved to be Tom Davenport. negro waiter who had been in the shop a few minutes before and had come back to have some work done on his shoes.

 Witnessed Attack

Paris December "A Temps dispatch from Milan says that special corre- spondent of the Milan newspaper Secolo, who was present at the evacuation of Monastir, has sent the following story from Florina, Greece:
 .The Serbs held back their adversar'es throughout Wednesday,, but the pres sure of the Bulgarians threatened the road of retreat to Resna and forced Col onel Vassitch to abandon the city. Wednesday at 10 D. m. Servlan pat talion passed through the city in retreat The Servians gay an impression of reso- lute heroism. They defiled through the streets in good order and in silence.
 ''The mayor and the prefect organized an improvised police service hospital above which was hoisted the American flag Colonel Vassitch gave to the Ameri- can mission for distribution among the poor 100000 pounds of provisions. Colonel Vassitch remained until almost the last. He left at 12:30 a. m. in an automobile with the officers of his staff The colonel made this statement:
 If the Bulgarians cut the route be- tween Resna and Monastr they will be able to march upon Ochrida and cut the retreat of the Servian army of the north, which is retiring toward Struga and FL basan (Albania). We now have a mis- sion to defend the defile of Resna, hope that up to the last minute we shall be able to make of the river Serna new Yser We have resisted to the last ex- tremity, but it is impossible to withstand the greatly superior forces. We will fight to our last man, sure of the final victory of the allies, sure of the resur- rection of Servia-'
