GREEKS THROW UP DEFfNCES

London, Aug. 24.-The ancient
Greek city of Seres, As mics from Sa.
loniki, is being evacuated by the
Greek garrison following a lombard
ment by the Bulgarians, according to
a dispatch from Athens.
The Greeks are cooperating with
the French The French artillery is
replying to the big guns of the Bull
gars and the Greeks are digging en-
trenchments.
The Bulgar advance along the en-
tire front is reported to have come to
q standstill, but the Serbs have been
forced to concede some ground on
the right wing.
The evacuation of Seres followed an
order to that effect from the Greek
government, an Athens dispatch
states, after the city had been bonn
barded by the Bulgars.
London, Aug. 23.-The Bulgarian
advance into Greece may be the spark
-that will set Greece afame and lead
her at last into the war on the side of
the Allies. Dispatches from Salonica
say that all the Greek reserves about
Seres, in northeastern Greece, have
been called to the colors and at Sa-
lonica volunteers are being raised to
fight the Bulgars.
proclamation issued by the Greek
commander at Seres says that lie win
attack the Bulgarians, who are now
advancing toward the town. The
proclamation calls out all the Greek
reservists in the district, who were
demobilized a short time ago, after
having been under arms almost since
ithe war began
In Salonica leaders of the Liberal
or Venizelos party, are raising body
of Greek volunteers to go at once to
Seres and aid the Greek troops there
to repulse the advance of the Bul
garians. Greek troops already have
been reported as firing on the Bulgars
1t has been declared that the latter
had promised not to occupy Seres
Drama or Kovala.
1t is believed here that the TeutoniC
offensive, intended to anticipate III,
offensive the Allies have now started
has over reached itself and that Bul
gar inroads into Greece will so arous,
the Greeks against their ancient 70,
that not even King Constantine, WHIT
is fhn Kaisar'g hrnthprin.lau can boo,
them from joining the Allies.
Meanwhile attention here continue,
to be fixed on Rumania. Several newi
papers declare that, influenced by tn,
success of the Russian offensive il

John Adams was not only the oldest
of exPresidents when he died being
more than 80 but he lived the longest
after leaving office about 25 years.
Relatively. Washington was the
richest President, but his private in
come was hardly equal to that of
Roosevelt.
Colonel Roosevelt was the only
Vice President to attain the Presi-
dency by another's death and then be
honored by a reelection.
There have been four ex-Presidents
living at one time-Adams, jefferson.
Madison and Monroe. After Wash
ington's death, during Adams term,
the country had no ex-President. Now
we have two, but they don't speak to
each other.
: Buchanan went through his term
bachelor.
Woodrow Wilson and James A.
Garfield We're college Presidents and
jefferson founded the University Of
Virginia after he retired from the
White House.
Washington. Monroe. Jackson. the
two Harrisons. Taylor. Lincoln, Grant.
Garfield, Hayes, Mckinley and Roose-
welt were soldiers.
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and
Washington's farewell address are
quoted far more frequently than any
other presidential utterances.
Cleveland's Public Office is a pub
lie trust" Grants Let us have
peace" Jackson's by the Eternal
and Rooscvelt's "Malefactors of great
wealth" became universal catch
words
OF Cabinet officers the luckiest in a
presidential way were Secretaries Of
State. Grant and Taft were Secretary
of War, but there has been no Secre-
tary Of the Navy in the White House.
Washington and Lincoln We're the
the heaviest.
When Buchanan was a young man
in Lancaster county some one told
him that il he should change his poll
tics he might become President He
did both.
Grant had always been q Democrat
until after the war. when the Re-
publcans elected him President.
The only President to turn his coat
after election was Tyler. Elected by
the Wings on the "Tippecanoe and
Tyler. too slogan, he went over to-
the Democrats when he had climbed
into the Presidency over the coffin OF
Harrison.
When the Chancellor of New York
administered the oath to Washington
he ended with this Long live George
Washington, President of the United
States" That form was never re-
peated.
One President was inaugurated in
New York. two in Philadelphia, and
all the others in Washington.
At first the salary Of the President
was $4,000, and that Of the Vice
President $4,000. Now the President
receives $4,000.
Alexander Hamilton proposed that
President be elected for life. Others
in the Constitutional Convention
favored two or three Presidents in
stead of one.
The official salute for the President
is p guns. l heard a salute Of 101
guns fired for King Edward when
the proclamation was read. When
the body of Napoleon was brought
back from st. Helena and arrived in
the river Seine, salute of 1000 guns
was fired.-Philadelphia Ledger.
