BULGARS NOT Modified
Legation at Washington Denies
Army Is Marching Toward Serbia

Washington. June 17.-(By A. P.)
The Bulgarian legations denial
that there are in Sofia various military
missions French. British and Italian
and certain parts of the country are
occupied by French, British and Ital :
ian troops. Under these circumstances
no mobilization is possible, nor has Bul
garia any reason for taking any such
step, for by the terms of the armistice
of September 80. 1918, Bulgaria has
placed it's cause into the hands of the
Paris Peace Conference. The report is
on par with others that bolshevism
was rampant in Bulgaria and that the
country was in an unsettled and dis
turbed condition"

NATIONWIDE WIRE
STRIKE CALL TODAY
Western Union Declares Threat

Cripple Service
CAROLINA ORDER DROPPED
BY the Associated Press

Washington, June President s.
J. Konenkamp. of the Commercial Teleg
raphers' Union of America, who today
is enroute to Chicago, announced before
his departure last night that he would
call nation wide strike Of union teleg-
raphers upon his arrival in Chicago
late today. The strike is proposed in
support of the Western Union Tele-
graph Companys employee In ten
southern states who went on strike
Thursday night.
Until he reaches Chicago, Mr.. Kon =
enkamp stated, it would not be decided
whether the spread of the strike would
be confined TO the Western Union or
include the Postal Telegraph Gable
Company. He also said the date of the
proposed strike had not been deter
mined.
Western Union officials claim that of
the 40, 900 employees of the company
eligible to join the telegraphcrs' union
only 10 were members and expressed
belief that a strike would not seriously
impair the service.
Postoffice Department officials are not
concerned in the threatened walkout, as
the order of Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson returning operating control of the
wires to their former owners puts the
burden of combating the strike on the
companies.
Atlanta, Ga. June 7.-tBy A. P.)-
Orders calling out the union telephone
operators at Columbia and other points
in North and South Carolina today, il
connection with the strike of telephon,
and telegraph workers in the Southeast
have been rescinded. This was an.
nounced today by c. F. Mann, southern
organizer for the Commercial Teleg
raphcrs' Union of America.

Festive Fizz Again Vets

Crescent City, Thronged For Racing Season.
Turn. From Dusky Gloom To Radiant
Joy When Judge Foster Rules
Liquor Sale Lawful.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 81
New Orleans today was enjoying a
bountiful Thanksgiving. over at
Ramos they were shaking up the fes-
tive gin fizz; Sazarac cocktails were
again being poured into those big
tumblers that Sazarac uses SO that
the nose may miss none of>the aroma
down at the old Absinthe House. an
aged French doorman smiled his
blandest as the old customers began
pushing their way through doors that
long had been deserted.
New Orleans was wet today, and the
old Crescent. town felt natural. IL
the United States had been as well
prepared for war as New Orleans
was for Judge Fosters decision last
night the war would have been over
long time ago, and there would
have been no wartime prohibition.
An hour after Judge Foster, in COM
pliance with the petition of the Her.
man Lesser had 'enjoined Federal
authorities from interfering with
the sale Of bonded liquors long lines
stood in front of the bar.
Bartenders Plentiful.
1t was not necessary to conscript
bartenders. They volunteered. Some
of them were the regular orthodox
bartenders of day when personal
liberty still had a definite meaning.
Others were recruits. One weAl
known business man donned the
apron at the Stag and aided the over
worked bartenders.
= big crowd was here for the open
ing of the races today. They sat
gloomily around the lobby of the St.
Charles Hotel yesterday afternoon.
Then came news of the decision by
Judge Foster. In five minutes the
lobby was deserted. The crowd had
gone to the places where once more
a gentleman could imbibe to the
limit OF that gentleman's desire and
pnrse. Many of them stayed until
the places were closed and then kiss
ing the bartender goodnight, prom
ised to be back early this morning.
1t had been a long time since they
were privileged to kiss the bartender
goodnight.
Few Fancy Drinks.
No attempt was made last night to
sell fancy drinks. Whiskey straight
was sold in most places at % cents
for a drink The drink was about
half the size formerly sold. but then
New Orleans used to be prodigal in
the size of it's drinks.
The old size sold at 80 to SO cents.
Wine was plentiful and at % per cent
above the price charged when the
wartime law went into effect July /.
Today fancy drinks were being
mixed. Instead of a haphazard collec-
tion of bartenders as last night, the
real artists were smilingly back in
their old places, and the machinery
for: giving New Orleans, and the ada
cent country a thorough wetting was
moving. Saloon men said there Is
ample stock on hand to last until
January 16.
The roadhouses and lake resorts,
which had expected quiet Thanks
The Washington times., 1919-11-27

giving, were scenes of hustle today.
Loaded taxis began to bear down upon
them last night. Between taking
care of last nights crowd and prepar-
ing for an even bigger crowd today,
employees at the roadhouses and re-
sorts worked all last night and were
not really prepared when today's rush
began.
Great Crowds Arrive.
Like a crowd which lines UP to see
worlds series baseball game. New
Orleans citizens and visitors began
arriving before noon to be certain
they would have a table. Few persons
went without claret with their
Thanksgiving dinner
Meanwhile railroads were unload
ing great crowds at the Canal street
station and thirsty residents of
nearby towns began to join in the
Thanksgiving celebration. Mississippi
was also sending her quota.
kilograms received here indicated
that there was a hegira from the
Texas oil fields of men anxious to
look at some liquid other than pc
troleum. Fort Worth. Dallas and
Houston were sending delegates.
Judge Foster, in granting the in
junction, ruled that the world war
came to an official end when Con-
gress adjourned recently without re-
jecting the peace treaty with Ger
many. He maintained that when
President Wilson vetoed the Vol
stead wartime prohibition act Octo-
Der 2S, the President, declared the
army and navy demobilized.

EX-KAISER FEELS SAFE
IN HIS HOLLAND HOME
Crown Prince, However, Fears He
May Be Extradited, Says
Amsterdam Paper.

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 27.--The Tele-
graf, quoting "an authoritative
source" says both the Netherlands
government and former Emperor WIZ
liam of Germany still are confident
that nothing will come OF the report
that there will be demand for the
eXtradition of the one-time Emperor
The newspaper adds that former
Crown Prince Frederick William, VINO,
1t says, has less to fear from extra
dition than his father, takes the mat
ter more seriously.
The Teiegrafs authority says that
the breach between the >ormer EN-
peror and his son, while 1t has not vet
been healed, is less bitter, the son
having yielded somewhat to his father
because of the wishes of his mother.

The birds were sorry for the stranger.
Like Peggy and Billy they had come
to like his kindly eyes and his gentle
ways. To comfort him they began to
sing. And after little while he Joined
in with his whistly song Louder and
louder he sang, the melody thrilling,
throbbing, sobbing in tones so sweet
that the birds grew silent as they
listened
In the song was the strangers lonely
call for the daughter he sought. Come,
come, come to me, lovely daughter
it seemed to say.
As he sang the bushes parted and
a child stepped into the glade-a sweet
faced child. twice as fair and twice as
lovable as the other two. The stranger
did not see her, for his eyes were filled
with tears, and presently the song broke
and stopped.
Peggy moved forward to comfort him.
but the sweet faced child was ahead
of her. as
Don't cry, Mr.. Bird Man." soothed

"You love me?" cried the stranger,

her eyes. why do you love me?''
Because you are good and tender
and loving. I can see that In your
eyes. I can hear it in your voice. I
can feel it in your touch. I have been
watching you from the bushes for a
