Servians are massing troops IN the a.
rection of the Albanian frontier, with
the object of retaining access to the
Adriatic. Servia Is reported aeter-
mined to invade Albania and suddenly
seize a dominating place in that coun-
try. 1t is reported from Salonica that
Bulgaria is massing troops on the
Turkish frontier.

ans. Servia covets an outlet to the
Adriatic and Bulgaria wants to drive

TRAGEDY OF
DESERT UNCOVERED

Another grim tragedy of the des-
ert was revealed yesterday when the
bleached bones of horse, IA quan.
tity of human hair, the scattered trap.
pings of soldier, and "a rust-encrust-
ed revolver, the chambers filled with
empty cartridges, while other empty
cartridges scattered nearby and cor
roded in the burning sands for more
than a decade, were uncovered bv a
rancher 8 miles south of Holtville.
How the unknown man perished
probably will never be known, but the
discovery of the name "Newton &
Andrews, Makers, FL Paso," stamped
on a piece of saddle uncovered from
the sand, has furnished clew that
may lead to the disclosure of facts
pertaining to the gruesome find. A
letter with description Of the articles
found has been sent to the FL Paso
firm in the hope that they may be
able to furnish the missing facts.
Whether the sand that covered the
skeleton hid a drama of Reminpton's
famous Last Stand" or whether the
piSiN htiS bOHcS were lHe result OF
death under a desert sun for lack of
water, may never be known, but the
discovery of the revolver with its
empty chambers and the scattered
empty cartridges has led TO the belief
that the man was soldier and that
the discovery Of the empty weapon is
an eloquent portrayal of a losing
fight against Indians or RENEGADE
MeXicans. as the location of the find
is only short distance from the in
ternatlonal boundary line.
Among the articles uncovered were
: horseshoes, the wooden bowl of a
pipe, an eye glass unbroken, two
spurs, a button from the uniform of
a United States soldier and part of
d bride. The leather and wooden
that comprise part of the find
are in fair state of preservation,
while the iron horseshoes and spurs
are encrusted with a heavy layer of
rust more than quarter of an inch
in thickness.
Part of the collection was brought
to Deputy County Tax Collector West
yesterday, who has turned them over
to the valley Chamber of Commerce.

Two Steamers Sunk.

London, March 1.-THE British
steamers Atalanta and Fingal have
been torpedoed by German subma-
rine, the admiralty announced today.
The Fingal was sunk off Northum-
berland and six members of the crew
were drowned. The Atlanta was
struck off Inishturk Sunday and
reached port badly damaged.
To reach Inishturk, Ireland, where
the Atlanta was torpedoed, the new
secret German submarines must have
sailed radius of 5000 miles. The
admiralty considers this remarkable,
but refuses to accept the theory that
the Germans have a secret base on
the British coast. This confirms the
report that the newest submarines are
equipped for dash across the At
lantic, if so ordered.
The Fingale's dead include the chief
mate and stewardess.

gro chauffeur took on Thursday night
while the Templars were enjoying the

picked up three more colored 'bro-
TIERS" all became "lit up" and out
they went for ride. They proceed
ed some distance out the Lancaster
pike, and when returning the driver
forgot to turn out for a concrete
retaining wall, with the result that

shell had struck it. 1t is turned up
side down, smashed to smithereens
and other things and is a complete
wreck. One of the negroes is said to
have been seriously injured. How
any of them escaped instant death has

Large Crowd Attended Lecture.

The Presbyterian church was
crowded to the guards" Sunday
night to hear Travelling Lecturer Jo-
seph Severance talk of the white
plague, its causes and preventives.
Mr.. Severance, who is working for
the State tuberculosis Commission,
the State tuberculosis Commission,
his lectures are well worth listening
to. He is an attractive speaker and
his talk in connection with the 60-odd
stereopticon views he showed was ex-
ceedingly interestin- and edifying.
The views showed the germs and diff
ferent manifestations of the disease
and the speaker told in a clear ana
concise way how tuberculosis could
be prevented. Asked why he held
his meetings on Sunday night, Mr..
Severance replied: First place bet
ter crowds are secured on Sunday
and secondly, think it is a work that
is for the good of the public. and
which all good people should be in
terested in, and know church mem
bers are interested in everything that
is of vital Importance to the good of
humanity. The lecturer went from
Stanford to Hopkinsvilla where he
will appear before the fiscal court and
ask an appropriation for the building
of tuberculosis Hospital in or near
that city. When he was there some
months since the city council appro-
priated $1,000 toward that end.

Graded Schools Annual Recital.

The Annual Recital givceNon last
Thursday evening ended week of
festivities of the Graded and High
School.
Representatives of the Music De
partmcnt and the Dramatic Art De-
partment were the participants in
this entertainment.
Several interesting readings were
given by both girl and boys from
Miss Burch's class, also a pantomme
and one act play. Miss Burch has
obtained good results from her pu-
pills considering the short length of
time she has been here. Miss Bal
lou's music pupils, as usual, were
up to her standard of training, each
pupil having been instilled with the
feeling of individual responsibility
the secret of their success in playing.
Miss Anne Davis McRoberts played a
piece which requires a certain amount
of musical knowledge and proficiency
in technique. this being the Second
Rhapsody, by List.
Mr.. Harry Reinhart pleased his au-
dience again by playing three short
SeleCtlOnS.
The Bach Clhb gave two gold med
ais, one in the High School and the
other in the Graded School for the
pupil who made the greatest pro-
gress in music during the entire
year, Miss Sallie Mills Craig was
awarded the High School medal and
Miss Margaret Dawson. the one in
the grades. These young ladies are
to be congratulated for the hard work
required to win these honors.
This ends one of the most sue
cessful years in the history of the
Graded School. Mr.. Wilson, the SUI
perintendent deserves praise for the
splendid work he has done during his
sojourn in Stanford. which is due to
the competency of its Superintendent
and his teachers in each department.
