MACEDONIANS DEMAND BULGARS
 BE PUNISHED

saloniki, Nov. -CCorresporfd- ence of The Associated Press)- Greeks and SeSbians in Eastern Ma cedonia, who suffered pillage, perse- cution, deportation and murder at the hands of Bulgars before the armies of the former King Ferdinand quit the country under the terms of an armistice, are exhibiting dissatisfac- ton over what they term the indul- gence of the Entente Powers toward Bulgaria.
 With fully 42,OOO of their number deported, half of whom, it is believed died under the ahardships imposed upon them, the Macedonian natives are demanding, according to a Reuter- correspondent who toured the Hber- ated territory, that the Bulgarians be crushed by traditional Balkan methods. During the period of oc- cupation the Bulgarians proved them selves "brutes and past masters in acts of spoilation and violence," said the correspondent, and when appeals for relief were made to the German authorities no attention was paid to them.
 Entering Macedonia as friends, un- der an understanding with former King Constantine of Greece, the Bull garians established a reign of terror which has been characterized as a disgrace to civilization. They tm- posed upon the population a rationine system which resulted in the starva- ton of many, following with assess ments and taxes and seizure of pro- visions to an extent thatSimpoverish- ed the country. Then followed wholesale executions and crimes against men, women and girls of the most revolting character, the sur vivors declared. At Seres only 5,00C persons remain of 1000 living in the city when the Greeks turned it oveT to the Bulgars. The population o1 Demir Hassir fell from 12,000 to E. 300 and in Kavala 5000 to 5000 per sons died of starvation alone in 1917 while in 1916 deaths numbered 30 day, largely from malnutrition. IT these and smaller cities the Bulgar! not only confscated the bulk Of th' foodstuffs, but forced the able-bodie( inhabitants to work for the invaders and carried away vast quantities O agricultural implements and furni ture.
 Joy in Macedonia over the with drawal of the Bulgars is exhibited b! Inscriptions on many street corner reading, "Christos Anestf' (Christ i Risen), while the Hellenic army O liberation Is received everywher' with enthusiastic acclaim.

RESERVE OFFICERS
 TO" BE FREED
All But Regulars to Be Dis charged From Army as Rapidly as They Can
 Be Spared.

washington, Nov. 22.---Under au- @thority of a circular issued by Gen. eral Peyton c. March, Chief of Staff of the Army, all officers of the army except those who hold commissions in the regular establishment, will be discharged just as rapidly as their services can be spared. Whether they belong to the line or the staff corps, these officers are to be discharged just as soon as circumstances permit and commanders of departments, bu- reaus, camps, and corps have been so notified.
 The officers to be discharged will be arranged into three groups. Those who want full and tmmedite separa- tion from the military service will be the first to be discharged. Next in or der will go those who want to be promptly separated from the service but who are anxious for reappoint- ment in the Officers Reserve Corps The last to be disposed of will bt those who desire appointment in the permanent establishment of the reg ular army. Under this plan for th' Rehabilitation of the Officers Corpa of the army those who do not care tC remain in the military service anC who wish to return at once into civi life, where the services of many o them are needed, will have the frs oportuntty of leaving as soon as the! can be spared from the army.
 The plans for demobilization hav been shaped, however, with the ob ject of enabling the government t. retain permanently in the army thos officers from civil life who have dis played marked ability in the servic and whose records show them to b fitted for regular army life.

JOBS FOR ALL
 IN PEACE TIME, LABOR DEMANDS
Central Body Wants Work Provided For Women As
 Well As Men.

Washington, Nov. 22 - The right to job, for men and women alike, was affirmed by the Central Labor Union of the District of Columbia at is regular weekly meeting this week, in 8 resolution calling upon the fed aral agencies of reconstruction to pre- vent unemployment when the army and navy are demobilized.
 This action is in direct contrast to that of the Central Federated Union of New York city at a recent meeting, which called upon the women workers to give up their jobs to returning sol diers and sailors. The resolution adopted by the Dis trict of Columbia Central Labor body was introduced by a delegate from the Women's Trade Union League, and seconded by delegates from the yeast workers, firemen, federal en- ployes and various others. and passed by unanimous vote. Copies were or dered sent, to the President of the United States, the Secretary of Labor and the directors, respectively, of the United States employment service and the training and dilution service of the department of labor
 The text of the resolution is as follows:
 Whereas, We believe that the nat ural resources and industrial oppor- tun1ties of the United States are suf- f1ctent to provide jobs for all the l workers, and unemployment can therefore be prevented by proper dis tribution of work and the workers; Whereas, We believe in the recog- nized principle of the right to work
 with equal opportunity alike for men and women therefore, be it Resolved, That we call upon the l government of the United States, | through the federal employment serv- ice, the training and dillution service,
 and any other agencies of industrial l adjustment now existing or that may | be established, to deal with after-war 1 problems in such manner as to de- ] prive no man or woman of employ
 ment, but to redistribute the workers,
 men and women, according to the new | industrial needs.
 l Resolved, Further, that if. pend ing complete readjustment of indus
 try, there is found in given localities
 or given occupations an apparent sur l plus of workers, the hours of work shall be shortened to permit of equal
 distribution of jobs"

VANCOUVER FOOD STOCKS BIG.

Vancouver, B.

Receipts from the Orient are iconstantly increasing, large shipments fof rice, beans, vegetable oils. peanuts and other products being received, while shipments of frozen meats from Australia are also being received in large quantities.
 The congestion in the storehouses is further increased by the piling up of this years enormous pack has been purchased by the government, it has not yet been delivered. Some of the warehouses are so filled up that own CTS of the goods are unable to get in- surance on their goods.

OUR CASUALTIES 1O5,OOO.

Washington, Nov. 22-Close esti- mates made yesterday in official quar- ters indicate that total. casualties in the American army in foreign service up to the day hostilities ceased were about 105,0O0.
 It is understood that there are about 10000 casualties details of which have not been received ard that there are good reasons why previous estimates should be revised. It has been stated that there has been nothing like q ratio of losses in battle by which totals could be conjectured.
 It is certain that the last battles in which the Americans were engaged and especially those by which Persh- ing's forces crossed the upper reaches of the Mouse, were desperate engage nents in which the American losses were heavy. The right bank of the Mouse was reached by the use of rontoons in the face of tremendous artillery fire from the east bank.

WILL FERRET OUT
INCOME TAX DODGERS
Department Plans Drive to Round
Up All Delinquents.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Daniel c. Roper is drawing together
final plans for a drive to round up
tax slackers. His special income tax
committee has found that many who
should have filed income tax returns
before April l failed to do so, either
through carelessness, ignorance Of the
law or in defiance of it.
He is preparing a statement cover
ing instructions to internal revenue
agents, 1t is understood. calling on
them to compel all who failed to file
their reports, to make out delinquent
returns. They will also call on de-
linquents for payment Of the proper
penalties.
1t is the intention of the Internal
Revenue Bureau to make the law
plain to delinquents and to enforce
penalties in such a way that when
time comes for the payment of income
tax assessments in June. the number
Of tax dodgers will be kept at a mimi

STATE FUEL CHIEFS
GET ZONE REVISION
Hold Conference Here with Admin
istrator H. A. Garfield.

Certain rcvisions in the Fuel Ad-
ministration's zOning distribution or
der are expected as the outErowth
of a conference of all state fuel ad-
ministrators east Of the Mississippi
River with DR.. Harry \. Garfield
yesterday.
The zoning order. which virtually
amounts to an allotment Of coal TO
each distract, has caused much dis
satisfaction among State admins
traitors. Some of them F,ol a recur-
renee of conditions such as existed
last winter, when factories were clos
ed for lack of fuel. unless industries
in their States are afforded greater
supplies.
One of the most important features
OF the conference will be a unified
plan of operation for the coming
year which will make impossible
clashes of authority between State
administrators. In addition, all OF
the men here will return home with
messages to the consumer to buy coal
now.
