O Macedonia.

lie zgodovinski naslov pOkrajine, XII je do balkan
ske vojne leta 1912 obsegala nekako villa iete So
lun, Bitolj (MOnastir) in Kosovo. Ia dezela je ne
kako tolika, kakor Spodnja in Zgornja Avstrija,
Stajerska in Koroska skupaj. Prebivalcev je bilo
do balkanske vojne okoli 2,275,000.
Pc balkanski vojni so 81 Macedonia radcliffe
Srbija, Bolgarska in GrSka.
Dne %. maja leta 1853. je padel Carigrad v
turske roke. Turska oblast je reSila grSki zivelj

kakor pravi kaGic, slovinski jerk, i'm ko ie cesar
Sigismund postal pismo V Atlantic, so mu odgo-
vorill odtod, da Znajo govoriti Same slovensko p-
smo (cirilico)). Turska vlada je pa ma Skodo Slo-
vanom podpirala cerkveno grSko hierarhijo in ODE

1867. Je carigrajski patriarh odpravil avtokefal-

siljen, da je vplival ma patriarha, in Bolgari so
dobili samostOjno cerkveno upravo V obliki eksar-

SOUTHERN AGAIN DEFEATS MAR|ON| IN
 TWO CLOSE GAMES
Big Crowd Sees Fourth Straight Defeat Given to the ClarksOn
 Nine

Marion, March 27.-(Special. )-Before enc of the largest crowds that ever wit messed ball game here Marion Institute went down in defeat before Southern University in two games, to and to 1. Both games were fast and very close. the break in luck in both cases deciding the victor. Throughout the entire time the excitement was intense and despite the coldness of the weather the roofing was terrific at times.
 Tn the first game. which was pitcher s battle between Stephenson and Cook, the former seemed to have a little the better of the fight, although Cook was given poor support, errors being responsible for both of Southern's runs.
 Register pitched air-tight ball for Ma rion in the last game, and was given perfect support, and up till the last inning it looked as if Marion would win easily, to 0. It was simply case of too many S. L. horseshoes, for pop fly, which fell safely between several Marion players, was the cause of the s. U. vic tory. Marion came back strong in her half at the last inning, but was unable to put over the needed runs. Marion team work in these games was far better than at any time this year. With con tinuance of this steady improvement the local supporters are confident on giving Auburn hard scrap in the series which will be played here March 3l and April I.

 the transportation of supplies. The po- sitions of the American troops were not revealed but it was known that the cavalry were yet riding hard along the trail left by Villa and his little army. Officers of the quarter master department discussed the best methods of getting provisions, espe- cially supplies for the horses and mules, to the field army, while Gen eral Funston and his staff anxiously studied the map, referring frequently to the scale of miles that showed the advanced cavalry columns rapidly nearing points 800 miles away from the border
 It was realized here that the early capture of Villa would be little bet ter than an accident With their knewl- edge of the country and with the as- sistance they can expect along their route, Villa and his followers, it is feared, will have no difficulty in keep ing ahead of the pursuing Americans. Their hope for an early ending of the chase is that Carranza's troops will finally check his flight or that Villa himself after joining one or more of his wandering bands in southern Chi huahua or northern Durango. may dare to fight it out with the steadily advancing cavalry of the punitive force.
 MAY JOIN ZAPATA That Villa will be able to effect juncture with a considerable force be- fore he is brought to a stand again, Is regarded at headquarters here as probable. Canuto Reyes, one of his generals who has been operating in the vicinity of Torreon, is known to have an exceedingly mobile force that is by no means negligible and in the state of Durango it Is said the Ar reta brothers will lend him their sup port, with a considerable force, with which Villa may join Zapata and at tempt to take Mexico City.
 Although this theory is little cred ited at army headquarters. it is real ized that Villa probably can go about as far as he likes now without sec ing an American soldier for many weeks.

TO EXTEND DUTY ON
 SUGAR UNTIL 1920

Washington, March 27.-Senate demo- crats in caucus tonight voted to substi- tute for the House resolution repeating the free sugar clause of the tariff act a resolution extending the present duty of cent a pound until 1920. The vote on the substitute, which was recom- mended by democratic members of the finance committee, was g to '.
 Senators Brousard and Ransdell of Louisiana vigorously opposed the sub ute, declaring that a four-year exten- sion was no assurance to Louisiana sugar growers and producers and that it would fail to restore activity to the sugar industry in that state.
 Five other democratic senators voted with the Louisiana senators. It was pre- dicted that there would be renewal of the sugar fight when the Senate proposal was returned to the House for concur renee.

Fl Paso. Tex, March 27-The ranch of c. E. Kelly, former mayor of Fl Paso, 32 miles east of here, was raided tonight by Mexican bandits who drove off 8 number of cattle and badly beat the care taker
 Two attachments of the Eighth cavalry are in pursuit of the ban dits. One troop started at full gallop from Fabens, two miles from the ranch. The second left Ysleta, some miles on the other side, at the same time in an effort to cut them off from the river.
 Mir. Kelly was notified by long distance telephone by his foreman who said the raiders were supposed to have come from Guadeloupe, across the river from Fabens. The Mexican employees on the ranch held them off in a battle in which more than 100 shots were ex- changed.
