CROSS THE FRONTIER

London, May 2S-A dispatch to Reuters Telegram company from Sa- lonki says:
 strong forces of Bulgarians, esti- mated to number 25,000, crossed the Greek frontier at Rupel Pass and oc- cupied the Greek fort and earthworks at the entrance to the Struma gorge near Demir-Hissar. The Greek garri- son retired without offering any resist ance.
 "The Bulgarian advance guard then pushed forward and occupied the sta tion and bridge at Demir Hissar. Ac- tivity at other points indicates an inn portant movement upon Greek Mace dona."
 The correspondent at Athens of the Exchange Telegraph comrany says he learns from Saloniki that the Bull garians gave the Greeks two hours to surrender Rupel fort, which is six miles from the Demir- -Hissar bridge, recent ly blown up by the French in anticipa- tion of this attack
 Athens newspapers say that the dep- utation of German and Bulgarian off cers in demanding the surrender. of Fort Rupel explained that it's occu- patton was necessary to secure the Bulgarian left wing against an event. ful entente allied attack.
 The surrender of the fort was ef- fected at 3 o'clock Friday morning and the protocol signed by the Ger man, Bulgarian and Greek officers. The Germans and Bulgarians. the newspa- pers say, undertook to restore the fort to Greece as soon as the reasons for it's occupation no longer existed

VETERANS WIDOW,
 AGE 76, FEELING
 MUCH BETTER NOW
"The Way Tanlac Helped Her Was an Eye Opener
 to All of Us," Says Grateful Nephew

'Tanlac has helped my aunt over troubles she's had for a good many years" said A. J. E. Cross, a prosperous and well known farmer of R. F. D. 1, Helena, Ala, just a few miles from Birmingham on the L. & N. towards Montgomery.
 MT. Cross explained to a Tanlac rep resentative at Jacobs that the lady referred to is Mrs. R. M. Acton, aged 76, widow of the late Confederate vet eran whose memory is loved and re- spected throughout this entire section where loyalty to the Lost Couse" and pride in \the glorious achievements of those stirring times is in no wise lack ing in the least particular.
 Yes, she has suffered a good deal of late years" continued MT. Cross, flor she'd been bothered with rheumatism and kidney trouble along with stomach disorder and nervousness until it didn look like she was ever going to get any better. We considered that her age was against her, and when this Tanlac be- gun to pick her up and help her like 1t did, it was an eye opener to all or us
 "She was restless at night from these troubles and her kidney trouble kept her up and down all night. Hardly any thing agreed with her and she had to be mighty careful with her eating, es- pecially at night. She'd have bad pains in the stomach and would have trou- ble with gas and swelling.
 "She was constipated, too, and had to be taking some kind of tablets or other just all the time.
 "She heard a good many people talk ing about Tanlac and when she had read up on 1t a little bit she made up her mind that it was what she needed. Two bottles of it has proved that she was right, for I never saw such big change in any person of my aunt's age.
 "She actually eats anything on the table now and never has the slightest trouble from it, and indigestion and stomach distress is something that hasn't bothered her since the first day or two after she begun taking Tanlac. She rests well at night and doesn't nave the old trougble with her kidneys.
 "She simply thinks Tanlac is the finest thing she ever heard of, and she says it has relieved all her troubles and made her feel better than she has felt in a good many years"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham eX- clusively by Engene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company. It IS sold in Bessemer by the Pegram- Patton Drug company, in Ensley by the D. w, Morris Drug company, in Pratt City by the Gale Drug company, and by regular lys established agencies in all principal towns of the state.-Adv.

to carry on construction projects. Sem ators who have persistently fought the bill were doubtful to night that they could muster enough votes to send the bill back to the committee. If recom- mitment fails other efforts at com promise will be made but no one at tempts to predict what the result will be.
 Another important event of the week will be action on the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis to the supreme court. The vote will be taken Thursday and opposition leaders have conceded that confirmation will result.
 Senate leaders hope to dispose of the Philippine self government bill, substi- tuted by the House for the Senate in- depdendence measure, before the con ventions. Administration leaders are ready to accept the House bill and they hope to force vote on it.
 AS soon as this business is disposed of leaders of both houses will be ready for the conventions. Agreement already has been reached for the Senate to recess for three days at a time beginning next Saturday. In the House plans have been laid te keep going without recess, con sidering undisputed bills. Among inn portant matters which must await the return of absent memb bers are the forti- fcations, diplomatic and consular, sun dry CIVIL ana pension approprlatlon bills, already pending, and the army appropriation bill carrying approxi- mately $150,000,0o0, which will be for mally reported to the House Tuesday.
 Tomorrow the Senate committee on postoffices and post roads will meet in executive session to consider the case of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General James I. Blakeslee, who charged in a letter to postmasters that members of the committee had surrendered to the railroads in their disposition of the postoffice appropriation bill,Mr. Blakes- lee and the committee had an exciting word war over the letter yesterday and members of the committee feel that action of some kind should be taken. The committee may decide to call Post master General Burleson before it or to lay the case directly before the Pres ident.

By RICHARD F. LUssIER

N PRACTICALLY every motion pie
 ture theatre in the city has 4 taken up the cause of the city commission, and is presenting terse arguments, prepared by various of the city commissioners in favor of the bond issues, that will be voted on next Monday. The Strand theatre was amongst the first to come out as favoring the s5OOO0O municipal electric bonds, and the other theatres soon followed with slides containing argu- ments favoring that particular bond issue.
 But the theatres have not only con fined their efforts to favor the mu- nicipal electric light plant; they are now urging their audiences to vote for the 5000, GOO school bond issue and the auditorium bond issue. In other words the motion picture exhibitors of Bur mingham are showing their apprecia- tion to the financially hard pressed city commission of the fact that Sun day movies was made possible only through the action of the present board of commissioners.

ference of opinion among the partly lead CTS on national woman suffrage.
 The national compression union will urge the republicans to insert a plank in favor of a suffrage amendment to the constitu- ton and Chairman Hilles has promised the women a hearing before the commit tee. The only other organization thus far to ask for a hearing is the Navy league of the United States, which will send a committee of 25 headed by it's president. Robert M. Thompson, to plead for a plank for the enlargement of the navy.
 Speaking of the probable action of the progressive national convention, Chair man Hlles said
 q imagine everybody assumes that the progressives will nominate Roosevelt for President If the republican convention adopts a straightforward, sincere, ring ing declaration of the vital public ques- tions now being discussed and nominates a man clearly equal to the important tasks which will confront the next President, Roosevelt might not think there would be any need of his entering the field. But if the republicans nom- mate man whom MT Roosevelt thinks
 is misfortune and adopts platform which he regards as bunk he may feel so outraged as to run perhaps and help re-elect President Wilson,"
 Work of preparing the Chicago Coli scum for the convention has been com pleted. The big building with it's 12.025 seats is ready and will be kept under police guard day and night as 8 pre- caution against fire. It cost Chicago about s95,000 to provide the republican party with suitable meeting place for the convention and the arrangements are declared to be superior to those of any hall ever used by the party for sim- liar purpose. Credit is given Col. Will liam F. Stone of Baltimore, sergeant at-arms of the national committee, who personally supervised the work. In planning the press section, which contains nearl 700 seats and desks for the use of newspaper men, Colonel Stone has made every possible provi- sion for the convenience and comfort of those employed in this work. There arc sufficient exits to give easy access to every part of the section, heavy rail around the entire stands to prevent an- noyance from outsiders and special ex- its leading to the large telegraph and telephone room in the basement of the Coliseum annex, where hundreds of spe- cial wires have been installed Secre- tary Reynolds of the national commit tee said he had received 5000 applica- tions for the 700 press section seats.

redondo, the Mexican ambassador desta- nate, may deliver the communication to- morrow. Otherwise it's delivery may be postponed until Wednesday, government offices being closed Tuesday in observ- ance of Memorial Day.
 So far no official summary of the new note has been received. but all informa- tion supports the belief in official quar- ters that it will renew the suggestion that the American expedition be with drawn. There is no indication that the administration is prepared to grant such a demand. It is thought in official cir cles that the note may mention, as an- other grievance, the unofficial embargo upon exportaton of munitions into Mex ico from the United States.
