Dul9artdnS seek TO DIVERT FeaNJ
French Attacks In Dorian Region.
General Battle Is Developing.
Greece Sees It's Chance Slipping
With Russ on Their Soil.
London. Aug. 23.-The allies have
captured series OF heights west Of
the Vardar river, on the Saloniki
front, says Paris war office state
ment. On both wings advance detach-
ments have fallen back before the
counter offensive of the Bulgarians
Battles in the new war arena on
the Saloniki front became more gen.
eral and are raging from the Sores
region on the right wing OF the en-
tente allies to the left wing, south of
Florina, and to the east of Banica on
the Macedonian front. Teutonic-Bul-
gar forces make strong claims of sue
cess in several regions.
Political unrest Is felt in Greece
with the reported activity Of Russian
troops which have been quartered at
Saloniki since late in July, and it is
held, as a result, that Greece's dream
of greater empire, as conceived a
year and a half ago by Premier Vent
zelos, has been dispelled.
Greeks Reported Fighting.
A dispatch from Athens to the Ex-
change Telegraph company says
Greek troops have been fighting the
Bulgars III the vicinity of Sores since
Sunday morning and. that the Greek
commander has called to arms all the
reservists in the vicinity. 1t also is
regarded as possible that the pres
ence of Russian forces in Macedonia
will effect a change in the attitude Of
Bulgaria.
Dispatches from the various Balkan
capitals and the central powers and
entente allies war Offices indicate
that the fighting has assumed most
general proportions.
Berlin reports that the BuIgars and
Germans are advancing on the entire
Macedonian front and the opinion is
held that the Bulgars on the eastern
end of the fighting line will soon be
pressing General Sarrai1's right flank
The Bulgars' left wing, according to
Berlin, has advanced in the Struma
valley, occupying Demi Hissar and
establishing itself on the left bank
of the Strun1a after repulsing the
British and French near Sores.
Capture Serb Positions.
Another Berlin announcement says
that all the Serbian positions east Of
Baica on the Macedonian front have
been captured by troops of the cen
trail powers and that the French have
been driven over the Struma between
Buthkova and Tahimos.
Paris reports that in the Dorian sec
tor Serbian troops have captured
forts Kaimakadar and Cuvurlu. The
heaviest fighting, says this report, is
on the front northeast of Sa1oniki on
the left bank of the Struma, from
Kavjala to Barakli.
The occupation Of Kastoria and
Corytsa by the Bulgarian troops is
confirmed in an Athens report to
Paris. Kastoria is twenty-five miles
south Of Monastir, on the extreme left
OF the entente front in Macedonia. 1t
lies about thirty miles southeast of
Florina and its occupation indicates
that the Bulgars are pressing south
ward their movement on the allied
left flank.

London. Aug. ga British official
announcement says it is believed that
German battleship of the Naussau
class has been sunk by British subma-
rine E-22.
Text of Announcement
The announcement follows:
''The submarine E-22, Lieutenant
Commander Robert R. Turner, which
returned from the North Sea, reports
that on the morning of Saturday last
she made successful torpedo attack
upon a German battleship of the Mas.
sau class. The commanding officer re-
ports that while the ship was being
escorted by five destroyers back to
harbor, in damaged condition, he at
tackled again and struck her with
second torpedo, and believes she was
sunk"
Naussau Old Glass.
The Nassau class of battleship com.
prises four vessels with displacement
of 1862 tons each, length of 451
feet, beam SO feet and draft rs feet.
Their ornaments consist of twelve IL
inch guns in pairs in turrets; twelve
6.9-inch guns in battery, and sixteen
S4-inch guns. together with six tor
pedo tubes.
The Nassau, built at Wilhems-
haven and completed in 1910, was laid
down originally in July, 1906, but the
plans were changed with the building
of the British dreadnaught, and her
construction was begun year later,
in 1907
The other battleships of the Nassau
class are the Posen, Rheinland and
Westfalen. The last named battleship
was at first reported sunk in the Jut-
land naval engagement last May, but
afterward was declared by Berlin to
be safe In home port.
Claim British Cruiser Sunk.
Berlin, Aug. "a statement from
the admiralty giving additional de-
tails of the North Sea action of Sat
urday was issued as follows:
Detailed reports In regard to the
success of German submarines are
now at hand. A German submarine at
about p. ID. on Aug. 10 sighted FIVE
small British cruisers steaming south
eastward, accompanied by two fotillas
Of destroyers, behind which were six
battle cruisers, strongly protected by
destroyers. The submarine succeeded
in firing on (torpedoing) one of the
protecting destroyers which had four
tunnels and apparently was of the Mo-
hawk type. In a short time the de-
stroyer, which had been hit, sank, her
stern rising high above the water.
Immediately the entire British
squadron turned on its heels. The sub
marine thereupon attacked a small
cruiser of the Chatham type, discharg-
ing two shots. The ship immediately
hsowed a heavy list and stopped"

Announcement Is Made That It Will Be Closed Effect
 i've April 15

The rebate bureau, which has been operated as an adjunct of the Business Mems league, and through which the railroad fares of out-of- town shoppers have been refunded, will be abolished effective April 15. This action was taken at a meeting of the members of the league who are subscribers to the rebate effect the activities of the Business Men league nor will there be any cessation of it's efforts to bring business to Bir- mingham.
 R. A. Brown, president of the league, in discussing the matter last night, made the following statement:
 The subscribers to the rebate bureau, feeling that the bureau had served it's purpose and was no longer a necessity in bringing trade to Birmingham. have decided to discontinue it on and after April 15 TLis action will in no man. ner affect the work which the Business Mems league is now, and has been in the past, doing to improve the conditions of the merchants of Birmingham, and to bring trade to this city. Every ae- tivity of the league will continue and the same cooperative effort will be put forth for the upbuilding of Birmingham. The merchants, who formerly subscribed to the rebate bureau, expect to offer such values in their merchandise that the out-of- town trade will be even more great ly increased in the future than in the past"

LOONEY ELECTED

Earnest Looney has been elected treas- urer of the Blanche Hazelton company of players, who will open in stock at the Bijou theatre Monday night, March 27 Mr Looney will be remembered as the treasurer of the Bijou during the many years it was so successfully operated by Jake Wells. His uniform courtesy and affability at all times made him very popular with the patrons of the popular playhouse. and his many friends will be glad to see him again.
 Mr. Looney assumed his duties yester- day morning at the box office opened at that time. He states that from present indications the initial offering of the Hazelton Stock company, "The Bishops Carriage" will play to capacity houses.

tees has been taken up in calling on peo- pie, and after spending sometime in discussing the matter, they have been asked to come again later. Let every man think the matter over and be ready to tell the committee how much he can subscribe at the first call
 ''rhe members of the committees are giving most of their time each day to this work, and it is not right to ask them to continue their efforts along these lines indefinitely If everyone will make it a point to respond promptly, we will soon secure the necessary funds. The delay will seriously handicap the work of the various subcommittees which are in charge of the different parts of the re- union work. They do not feel at liber- ty to make their contracts until they have been authorized by the finance com mittee to spend the money, and this cannot be done until the funds are in hand.
 Another point I would like to stress is the fact that everyone in Birmingham and the district should contribute to this cause. Just because a person cannot give a large sum is no reason for not aid ing in the work. I would like to see every man, woman and child in the city interested in this movement and the com mttee will be glad to receive contribu- tons, no matter how small. The reunion will be on us in seven weeks and the quicker we act the better can we pre- rfare to entertain the veterans

Light Response to Appeal For Funds to Entertain
 Heroes of Confederdcy

The finance committee in charge of the work of raising the funds for the enter tainment of the reunion and the several teams of business men who are assist ing in this work, continued their efforts yesterday, but the results were not up to expectations. While the teams have done vast amount of canvassing dur ing the past two days, only a small amount of money has been raised. Up to the present time, less than s7OOO of the estimated amount needed, $250OO, has been pledged.
 Chairman Jackson of the finance com mittee, who had been directing the work for some days, has been forced to go to Golden for two weeks on the advice of his physicians. He was confined to his home for week before leaving the city In his absence, President Bush of the Chamber of Commerce, has taken active charge of raising the funds and is per- sonally assisting the teams solicit the subscriptions.
 While we are not anticipating any trouble about ultimately securing the amount needed" said Mr. Bush last night, I've certainly hope the people will respond more rapidly during the next few days. Much of the time of the commit

GOV. HOOPER SAYS
 TWO PARTIES ARE
 BEST FOR SOUTH
Former Tennessee Governor Was in Birmingham Yes terday on Private
 Business

Two political parties, equal in strength in state or county said Ben w. Hooper of Newport, Tenn, twice gov ernor of the Volunteer state who was at the Morris last night. T believe the sev- eral states in the south where there is only one party with any chance to con- trol the government have suffered many political wrongs from this cause in the past. Tn Tennessee and Kentucky the re- publicans are so strong that the demo- crats are forced to do the right thing or lose control of the government"
 MT. Hooper is in the city on business, being the owner of considerable prop erty here. There is no political signif- canoe to his visit here at this time, he declared, and he said he was devoting his efforts to Tennessee affairs and did not expect to advise or attempt to take a hand in Alabama republican politics.
 T have been selected as a delegate to the republican national convention, bus can make no suggestion as to who the nominee of our party will be.i' he said. Tennessee will in all probability send an uninstructed delegation.

 MT. Hooper was twice elected governor of Tennessee on the republican ticket with the aid of the prohibition votes, which he referred to as independent democrats" Congressman Mcclellan, the democratic nominee for the Senate, who will probably be opposed by Hooper, is native of Ala bama, and an alumnus of the University of Alabama. He is the candidate of the reunited democratic party of Tennessee.
 MT. Hooper expressed considerable inter- est in Alabama politics, and asked es- pecially concerning the race Captain Hob- son is making in the Tenth district against w. B. Bankhead.

BIRMINGHAM TO DON
 GALA ATTIRE FOR
 DRESS-UP WEEK
City Beautiful Idea to Be Carried Out in All Its Details--Latest Crea- ton to Be Shown on
 ThorOughfares

Practically every line of mercantile business in the city has joined in the spring dress-up movement started in Bir- mingham by the Birmingham Ad club, and during the two weeks beginning March 27 and ending April it is ex- pected that the entire city will be dressed up'' in the strictest sense of the word.
 Advertising managers of all the down. town stores are preparing copy to be used in the newspapers during the spring dress up campaign; the furniture men are get ting ready for the campaign, the paint men and lumber men, the florists and gardeners, the speciality shops; in fact, every line of business touched by the movement is making ready for one of the strongest campaigns yet launched in Blr- mingham on the matter of personal ap- pearance. The spring dress-up campaign is nationwide in it's scope, and Birming- ham is but one of hundreds of towns and cities in which the movement will be for two weeks.
 The campaign in Jacksonville. Fla, last fall was one of the biggest events in the history of that city. The first night of the campaign was used to show how dis agreeable a town could be were 1t not for the constant working of the dress up" instinct. The streets were filtered with rubbish, the lights were turned low, the store windows were in dsarray and the people came out in the most ragged and disreputable clothes they had. The mayor of the city led procession in an inapersonation of General Coxey, and .'tackyN dance was held.
 The next night the city was completely renovated The streets were brilliantly no C1 nj ri 1pY,f had made clean sweep and the pave- ments were immacuate; the display men had transformed the windows into mar vels of beauty; the public were dressed in their best: everything was spick and span. and several bands played in the downtown district.
