THE SERV|AN ARMY LANDS AT SAL0N|K| Reorganized Forces of the Crushed Kingdom Esti-
 mated at 100000

Paris, May 2S.-After crossing the in full strength now has been landed at Saloniki, according to wireless dispatch received here today.
 servia's new army has been variousiy estimated to number between 5000 and 100000, officers and men. It was reor- ganzed on the Island of Corfu, approxi- mately 700 miles by water from Saloniki
 The Servian army totaled about 300,000 men at the outbreak of the war, but this force was greatly depleted as result of an epidemic of typhus and by the engagements fought in an endeaver to meek the Austro-German and Bulgarian invasion of Servia and Montenegro. The remnant of the original armies saved it. self by retreating through the Albanian mountains to the eastern shores of the Adratc. On reaching the sea coast the Servians were transported to Corfu, off the southern coast of Albania, where they were supplied with new rifles and cloth ing and efficiently equipped for further service. When the reorganization had been completed the entente allies sought permission of the Athens government to transport the soldiers from Corfu to the base at Saloniki across Greek country by rail. This would have cut down the length of the journey by some 800 miles besides lessening the danger of attack on the transports by Teutonic submarines. Greece, however. steadfastly refused to allow the troops to cross her territory
 Two weeks ago an agreement was reached in the dispute, the entente DOW CTS deciding to transport the servisn troops to Saloniki by sea.

DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT PREVAILS AMONGST
 ALL THE STUDENTS
Calls Attention to the Free Dispensary in Birming- ham and the Erection of Fraternity Homes
By c. ". GREER

University, May 28.-(Spe- cial. )-The annual report of Dr. George H. Denny, presi- dent of the university, to the board of trustees, which will be considered at the meeting of the board Wednesday morning, shows that the past year has. been the most suc- cessful in the history of the institution. The attendance in all departments of the university exceeded that of any previous year and the work done in material lines is considered remarkable in view of the limited funds which were available.
 The annual report of President Denny, which has already been pre- sented to each member of the board of trustees, was scheduled to be taken up by the board today, but the meet ing was postponed until Wednesday morning. The total enrolment in all departments, including medicine and pharmacy, located at Mobile, and the summer school, conducted here, was 1909. ss.,s,a-
 NEW PROFESSORS
 President Denny calls attention to the addition of Professors Andrew Bonner and F. Hudson Strode to the department of English, thereby making that depart ment one of the strongest of any south ern university. Mr.. Bonner was for sev- eral years member of the faculty of Southern university and MT. Strode who is an alumnus Of the university, has been connected with the English depart ment of Syracuse university for the past two years. By the addition of Professor Bonner to the faculty a course of i'm struction on the English Bible will be made possible.
 Attention is called to the fact that more than half the students of the university are wholly or partially self-supporting. many. of the students by working at the institution and in the city of Tuscaloosa, contributing largely to their own college expenses. The student body of the in- stitution, and the spirit of the university is one of pronounced democracy the students coming from all classes and conditions of men,

St. Paul, Minn., May 2S.-James J. Hill, restless. unsatisfactory day. While the pioneer railroad builders pulse was good, his temperature was high and he suf- fered considerable pain. It was reported that MT. Hill had suffered slight sink ing spell At o'clock it was said he had rallied somewhat.
 His pulse was reported better, but a high temperature continued. At 6 o'clock tonight the temperature was reported un- changed.
 Throughout the day men of prominence in railroad, business and professional cir cles called at the Hill residence. All came away grave and uncommunicative.
 Louis w. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, threw open his resi- dence next door to the corps of doctors and surgeons and their associates. One of the physicians intimated that a certain infrequently used sedative might be of some possible slight bene fit to the patient. Other doctors stated that none of it could be obtained at any point nearer than Chicago.
 Louis Hill chanced to overhear this conversation of the surgeons and or uered speclal strain on t1e Chlcago, Burlington and Quincy railroad to bring the sedative to St. Paul. It ar. rived here last night, having made the trip of 431 miles in eight hours and three minutes or at an average of 5A miles on hour. Railroad men stated that this shattered all speed records between Chicago and St. Paul.

 Coincidental with the Bulgarian inva- sion comes a report that the rejuveAated Servian army-the ancient enemy of the Bulgars-has landed at Salonilki to rein force the British and French troops al- ready there. This force has been various ly estimated at from So,0O0 to 100000 off cers and men. It was reorganized on the Island of Corfu.
 Only artillery bombardments have been in progress on the French front around Verdun.
 Around Le Mort Homme, and in the sector west of the Thiaumont farm north east of the fortress, the bombardments have been violent. In the Argonne for est the French have captured craters caused by the explosion of German mines and in Alsace have put down an attempt of the Germans to advance. In the fight

 Petrograd reports an attempt of the Germans in the Lake Drisviaty region to start an offensive. The movement was stopped by the concentrated artillery and rifle fire of the Russians.
 The Austrians are still on the offensive against the Italians in the region south east of Trent. but Rome reports that wherever infantry attacks were started the Austrians met with repulse. On the Isonzo front and San Michele the Italians mining operations destroyed Austrian mines and took the defense under their rifle fire as they fled.

MASTERFUL SERMON

Dr. Ogden'S sermon was one of the most masterful of it's kind ever given at the university. The young minister spoke primarily to the seniors grouped before him He pictured the beginning of a life work and pointed to the dan gers besetting each path. The folly of misunderstanding and the passion for money, he deplored as two prevailing evils which invariably beset the paths of those who for the first time meet the world in struggle for existence. He pointed out the necessity of religion ito successful life. "A false god results in broken moral standards declared the minister. "1f we lose God. we lose all.'' Dr. ogden based his sermon princi- pally upon two passages of scripture.
 Tn the 44th chapter of Isaiah he declared, there is vivid picture of the making of an idol and the broken life values that are the portion of the man with a false god. The climax is in these words He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside and there not a lie in my right hand?' In the 62d psalm there is a marvellous description of the satisfaction of a thirst ing soul. Oh, God, thou art my God is the exultant cry of this soul.''
 Enlarging upon his texts. pr. Ogden drew from them what he termed as the greatest folly of life, the worship of money.
 THE WORSHIP OF MONEY
 <l.. everywhere; in all the world the one supreme issue is the relationship of the human spirit to the textual father.
 We laugh at the heather who. cook ing his food with part of a tree, fash ions him an idol with the remaining portion. And yet we, who worship money, are doing precisely the same as atheists are doing a far more foolish thing.
 Great as is this folly there is nc room for laughter, The life failure which follows inevitably demands tears America is confronted today with false teachings concerning God, which, tested in other lands. have been found wanting, some say, Let us uo flSht' never mlnu thinking of Cod This morality plus agnosticsm has had it's historic test in Confucianism and has resulted in degra- da ation of life. Others, accepting the reign of the law, would lead us into a fatalism whose tragic testing the world has seen in Mohammedanism. More popular still is Panthesm, which is
