mated in Hundred Millions

St. Paul - The wealth of the late
James j. Hill, who died Monday, is
estimated all the way from 500, 0O0,-

probably between 100000, 900 and
$3.50, 900, 900.
An estimate of Mr.. Hills wealth

is at your disposal. /"
The First National bank then bor-
rowed from Mr.. Hill $40, 900, 00C
worth of Great Northern railroad
bonds. These were placed with the
Treasury department in Washington,
and Sc, 900, 900 worth of emergency
currency, allowed under the Aldricf
act, was shipped. at once to the First
National bank. 1t was found neces'
sary to place only $125, 900 worth Of
this in circulation. In a few weeks
the entire amount was returned tt

PRESIDENT INSISTS ON FULL AL
LEGlANCt IN MEMORIAL DAY TALK

Washington, D. president Wilson
delivered Memorial Day address here
Tuesday, in which he defined the spirit
of America, warned citizens of foreign
birth not to set themselves against the
purposes of the nation, called upon
young men to perform voluntary mill
tary service and defended his recent
suggestion for an alliance of nations to
preserve peace. He spoke at Airing
ton National Cemetery before an au-
dience made up largely of Civil War
veterans, who applauded him vigorous
Ily.
While he declared he had no harsh
ness in his heart for Americans of
foreign birth and expected them still
to love the sources of their origin, the
President said America must come
first in every purpose we entertain and
every man must count upon being cast
out of our confidence, cast out even of
our tolerance, who does not submit to
that great ruling principle.
Speaking of America, made up out
of all the peoples of the world, as the
champion of the rights of mankind, he
said:
"We are not only ready to cooper
ate, but we are ready to fight against
any aggression, whether from within
or without. But we must guard our
selves against any sort of aggression
which would be unworthy of America.
We are ready to fight for our rights
when these rights are coincident with
the rights of man and humanity"
The President reiterated his sugges-
tion before the League to Enforce
Peace last week that the United States
was ready to become partner in any
alliance of the nations (which would
guarantee public right against selfish
aggression. OF published criticisms
reminding him that George Washing
ton warned the nation against zen
tangling alliances" he said:
81 shall never myself consent to an
entangling alliance, but would gladly
consent to disentangling alliance, an
alliance which would disentangle the
peoples of the world from those COM
binations in which they seek their own
separate and private interests and
unite the people Of the world to pre-
serve the peace of the world upon 8
! basis of common right and Justice"
Universal training and preparedness
were possible, Mr.. Wilson declared
only if the men of suitable strength
, and age will volunteer. He said th'
"acid test" was about to be applied tt
4 business men, too, whether they woul'
allow their employees to volunteer. H
0 said the army reorganization bill nov
: before him bristled with that interrc
s cation point, which he warned all tn
business men of the country was star
ing them in the face.
The President said he was for "uni
versal voluntary training" but tina
? "America does not wish anything bu
the compulsion of the spirit of Ameri
ca" He added that the people of tn
nation were watching each other, AM
that great many men, even whel
they did not want to-, were ready t.
stand and say "here."

Big Force Of BuIgars Occupy
Important Forts in Neutral Greece

London - At the French headquar-
ters in the Balkans it was announced
Monday that Bulgarians had occupied
the Greek forts of Rupel, Dragotin
and Spatovo, and were advancing from
Demir-H -Hissar toward Kavalla. This
information was received here in a
dispatch from Athens to the Exchange
Telegraph company.
The Greek forts Rupel and Dragotin
are, respectively, six and nine miles

of that town. Kavalla, on which the
Bulgarians are said to be marching, is
seaport on the Aegean Sea, IS miles
in an air line southeast of Demir-His-
sar. After crossing the Aegean Sea
without loss, the Serbian army in full
strength has been landed at Saloniki,
according to dispatch.
Serbia's new army has been various.
ly estimated numbering between 80,.
900 and 100, 900 officers and men. II
was reorganized on the island of Cor
fu, which is approximately 700 miles
distant by water from Saloniki.
The Serbian army totaled about
300, 900 at the outbreak Of the war
but this force was greatly depleted al
result of an epidemic of typhus ant
bitter engagements fought in an en-
deavor to check the Austro-Germar
and Bulgarian invasion of Serbia ant
Montenegro. The remnant of the orig
inal armies saved itself by retreatint
through the Albanian mountains.
On reaching the seacoast, the Ser
bians were transported to the Island o
Corfu, off the southern coast of AL
bania, where they were supplied witt
new rifles and clothing and efficientl.
equipped for further service on tn
Balkan battlefield.

Monday. There was second opera
tion Saturday. DR.. Herman Biggs,
New York state health commissioner,
had been in attendance since Friday.
Mr.. Hills final collapse came with
startling suddenness. 1t was late last
week before word of his serious con-
dition was allowed to leak out. Then
it was stated he was suffering from
cold. The Mayo brothers, surgical
specialists, were brought from Roches-
ter, Mimi, for consultation, and it
then developed that Mr.. Hill was
afflicted with an intestinal carbuncle.
Special trains began bringing friends
and relatives to the bedside. The best
surgeons were summoned. Louis W.
Hill, president of the Great Northern,
opened his residence next door for the
accommodation of doctors and nurses.
Early Sunday afternoon Mr.. Hill ex-
perienced sinking spell. Rev. Father
Thomas j. Gibbons, pastor. Of the St.
Paul cathedral and vicar general of ST..
Paul archdiocese, hastened to the bed
side. Four hours later Mr.. Hill was
said to have rallied. At 8 p. m. his
pulse was reported improved. But at

come, Doctors Biggs and Gilfillan an
nouced that "the outlook was ex-
tremely serious"
st. Paul is preparing to honor Mr..
Hills memory. Every division point
