Appreciate What
Papers Haze Done

At the recent meeting of the United
Commercial Travellers, at which Max
j. Heinberg of Pensacola, was elected
grand councillor, the press committee
submitted the following report relat-
ing to what had been accomplished
during the past year and plans for
the future:
Augusta, Ga, May IL, 1915.

council of the Georgia. Florida U. C.
7. of A.:
Gentlemen: We the press commit
tee, beg to make the following re-
port:
After lapse of a year since our
last meeting we feel that the obliga-
tons placed upon US by the press has
aided and enthused is in our work
very materially.
1t is matter of commedation, the
numerous articles published by the
papers throughout our jurisdiction,
notably the Augusta Chronicle, At
lanta Journal, Atlantic Constitution,
Athens Herald, Florida Times-Union,
/ Tampa Tribune, Pensacola Journal
and Gainesville Sun. We want to
emphasize the support given us and
we feel it duty to reciprocate.
It would be unappreciative not to
lay stress upon our paper, The Sam
pie Case, always ready, willing and
anxious to serve US. It should be a
pleasure to read it carefully and
spread its many happy and co-opera-
| tive suggestions before our member
| ship.
With due modesty. after our owr
efforts, we concede the press t. be 9
great factor for good in every way
God speed its free and untrammelIec
efforts for uplift.
We recommend that inasmuch al
these periodicals are striving so harC
to promote interests of the CONNER
cial Travellers that the newly elected
grand councillor appoint a permanen-
grand press committee to act in thi.
capacity for the ensuing year anc
urge them to cooperate with the edi
tors in supplying current news item.
Of interest to our organization.
We recommend that each Of til,
above named newspapers be furnish
/ ed a copy of this report.

Bavuie1U Park
Popular Place

Bayview Park was a popular place
during yesterday, especially during
the afternoon and early portion of
the evening. Hundreds of residents
visited the park and the majority of
them enjoyed bathing. At one period
during the afternoon over fifty were
in the bayou at one time.
Bathers found the former conyen-
fences missing and considerable work
will be necessary before the popular
resort is placed IN its former condi-
ton. The high dive has been remov-
ed, the ropes have rotted away and
the steps, excepting the iron ones,
also gone.
1t is expected the Fairgrounds AS
ISOLATION will soon take charge of the
resort and place it in good condition
so the people of the city can enjoy
bathing and picnics as formerly.

MEXICO ASK

Anti-American Regulations

Authorities.

SINCE LAST YEAR
Situation Between the Two
Governments is Cloud
ing Up.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May 2S.-On the eve
of the receipt from Carranza Of a
note which officials believe will renew
the demand for the withdrawal Of
American troops, and with another
conference between American and
Mexican commanders about to begin
in the meeting of General Pershing
and General Gavira, Wilson today
received a protest from Americans at
Tampico reporting serious difficult
ties there between American oil OPP
orators and Mexican authorities.
The protest came in the form of a
telegram addressed to Wilson, signed
by eighty-four Americans residing in
Tanpico, who the telegram said, had
held a mass meeting and determined
to assert their right to protection and
announced they would not comply with
the arbitrary and confiscatory orders
and DEGREES Of Mexican authorities.
The telegram declared It was becom-
ing impossible for Americans to do
business In that section of Mexico
because of restrictions placed by the
authorities, which the telegram said,
seemed to be aimed at Americans.
A message from Tampico said more
than a year ago that DEGREES affecting
Americans began to be issued by the
Carranza government and have con-
tinued growing more anti-Ameri-
can" 1t is said no foreigner is al
lowed to acquire leases or real estate
or an assignment of leases from ma
tives. The message says, "a decree
was issued few days ago by the
local military authority providing
labor should be paid and merchandise
sold on the basis of Mexican gold, and
a consideration be paid in Mexican
paper money at an arbitrary value
fixed by the government regardless
of the commercial value of this paper
money as regulated by supply and de-
mand." The message adds, "an under
standing with the authorities as to
the future would not be sufficient.
The DEGREES already in existence must
be repealed where they affect Ameri-
cans"

Bulgariars Haze
Invaded CIR eece
Despite Protest
By Associated PRESS.

London, May 2S.-The Bulgarian
invasion of Greek Macedonia has
reached Demir Hissar and from that
town the Bulgars are said to be NOV
ing southwark toward the Aegean
seaport of Kavalla, northeast of Sa-
lonilc. It is unofficially estimated
that the Bulgarians number twenty
five thousand.
Co-incidentally with the Bulgarian
invasion comes the statement that the
Greeks have evacuated the forts of
Rupel, Dragotin, Spatove and Kanevo
along the Strunna river, without resis-
lance and that a reorganized Serbian
army, nearly a hundred thousand
strong, was landed at Saloniki to re-
inforce the Anglo-French force. Re
ports from Greece say the four forts
were evacuated Friday and Saturday
and that Greece will coIlfine herself
to protesting to the central powers.
Mass meetings are being held in
Greece denouncing the Bulgarian in
vasion of Greek Macedonia, which the
Bulgars claimed was necessary to
strengthen their wings.
On the French front there have
been mainly artillery boinbardments,
but around Verdun they have been
violent, while in the Argonne Forest,
the French captured craters made by
German mines and repulsed the Ger
mans attempting to advance. The
Germans claim that Saturday night
they penetrated the French lines in
the Champagne district and captured
one hundred men.
Petrograd reports the Russians
concentrated their artillery and rifle
fire and repulsed German attempt
to attack in the Lake Drisviaty reg
ion.
The Austrians are still attacking
the Italians southeast of Trent, but
Rome reports that all Austrian infan-
try attacks were repulsed and that
on the Isonzo front the Italians de-
stroyed Austrian trenches.
Turkish contingents attempting to
advance on the Caucasus front were
repulsed, according to Petrograd.

TELLS A RAMBLING
STORY OF HIS PAST
Said Sailors Would Kill Him
and That He is Wanted
for Murder.

Had it not been for the presence
Of Fred Hendricks, boatman for Mex.
oerting company, on the British
steamship Centurion, which went to
sea yesterday, a seaman named Ed.
Laurence, who signed on the ship
here for the voyage, would have been
drowned when, leaping from the
deck of the ship Centurion. opposite
the navy yard, in an effort to reach
shore, he nearly succumbed before
being rescued by Hendricks and re-
turned to the ship, in the belief that
he had tried to desert. Traces Of in
sanity showed desert. Traces Of in

ashore.
Laurence, now in the city Jail, tells
an incoherent and disconnected tale
of himself. but earlier in the day is
said to have told officers that he was
wanted in a western state for muir

Laurence. according to the papers
he carried, is IS years of age, and a
Russian. At Gulfport, Miss, he was

was to identify him. IN the effects
taken from him was an able sealnan's
certificate, issued by Inspectors Lud-
erus and Bean, at Mobile. He had
Sc in cash. He also carried a couple
of pages of Russian newspaper.
To officers at the station, talking
about himself, he stated that he left
the deck Of the Centurion because
"the sailors were talking about kill
ing him." and he took the desperate
chance of getting ashore before they
attempted to carry out their alleged
designs. He told both Mr.. Hendricks
and Officer Nell that he was wanted
in the west for murder, that he had
signed on the ship after eluding po-
lice and deputies, and that, as his
conscience bore so heavily on him, he
had decided to end it all.
So far the officers have been unable
to connect him with any crime in
the United States.

Serbian Army
100000 Stronq
Ready to Fight
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Paris, May 2s.-After crossing the
Aegian Sea without loss the Serbian
army in full strength, has been landed
at Saloniki, according to a wireless
dispatch received here today. The
Serbian's new army has been various
ly estimated at between eighty thous-
and and a hundred thousand officers
and men. It was reorganized in the
Island of Corfu, approximately seven
hundred thousand at the outbreak of
war, but an epidemic of typhus and
its determined stand against the Aus
tro-German and Bulgarian invasion
greatly depleted it before the army
reiterated through the Albanian noun
tains TO the Adriatic Sea coast, where
it was taken to Corfu and fully equip
ped for service. Serbia wanted to
transport her troops to Salonilxi
through Greek territory, but on
Greece's refusal the journey had to
be made by sea.

Presiden t

Robert Lansing, president of
the United Statesl
Neither Roosevelt, nor Bryan,
nor Clark, nor Hughes, nor Root,
nor yet Wilson, even if he is re-
elected: but our secretary of state
will be the next president!
March 4 comes on Sunday, 1917,
and President Wilson's term ex-
pires at noon on that day. The
inauguration will be held Mon
day, March 5. As neither the
president nor the vice president
will be able to act, Secretary
Lansing will ex of1cio assume the
powers of chief executive.
He will be able to occupy the
white house, if he chooses; issue
pardons, command the army and
navy, deliver messages to con-
gress and appoint ambassadors.
