Of Novi Bazaar and northern Macedonia
Previous to 1913 the most historic
landmarks of old Serbia, including Kos
sovo, Prizrend and Prilep, the homes
of some of the most notable Serbian
national heroes, for administrative
purposes mad been in the hands of
Albania under Turkish sovereignty.
AS a result, this territory to the east
of the present Albanian Serbian from
tier became largely populated by Al
banians.
Warfare between the two countries.
which had been confined since 1913 to
border raids, broke out with renewed
force after the action of the peace
conference in 1919 confirming the title

General feeling aboard the Baltic
yesterday was that it was a mistake on
the part of Britain to transfer Arch

Ofrcers on the Baltic were inclined
to the belief that the sensible thing to
nave done was to have permitted the
Archblshop to land at Queenst vn. his

Express Rate Increase
Submitted to Board
Decision on Proposed Raise of
Is Per Cent Not Expected
Before September l

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Testimony
in support of its application for an
additional increase Of Is per cent in
express rates to cover higher wages
was presented by representatives of
the American Railway Express Com
pany to-day to examiners of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. The
hearing developed virtually no opposi-
tion on the part of shippers.
The examiners said at the conclusion
of the hearing that the case would be
submitted without delay to the COM
mission, which would expedite its con-
sideration. No decision is expected
before September /. when the increase
of 1914 per cent already allowed the
express company will become effective.
|. R. Gwyn, chairman of the wages
and working conditions committee, and
Charles A. Lutz, comptroller of the ex-
press company, appeared in support
Of the application, while Harry T.
Moore, traffic manager for the Atlanta.
Ga, freight bureau, urged limitation
of the advance to 10 per cent.
Mr.. Gwyn told the examiners that
instead Of the increased wages as
awarded by the Railroad Labor Board
amounting to $30,00O,000 as estimated
by the board, it would reach s42 ,2s6, $40
because of the necessity for a readjust-
ment of pay for supervisory officials,
who were not benefited by the award.

vations insisted upon by the court.
Throughout the negotiations Judge
Mayer has insisted that the court pass
upon the financial ability of the re-
ceivership to fulfill any awards that
might be made by the arbiters
Union leaders said last night that If
a strike was decided upon it would be
called at o'clock tomorrow morning
The termination of the negotiations,
according to James NJ. Sheridan, presi-
dent of Local No. 917, was scheduled
for tonight, when the $4,000 employees
of the company would vote on the
terms stipulated by the court.
Bitter Struggle Is Seen
If the men vote to 20 out it was de-
clared the struggle would be one of the
most bitter ever staged in the metro
politan district. The management. it
was said, was prepared to fight with a
vigor that would threaten the exist
ence of the amalgamated association as
factor in the systems operation.
We will not be caught unawares
this time is the way one official put
1t: "Already sufficient men have been
hired to insure partial operation"
After the conference in his office
yesterday Mr. Delaney said the union
leaders had told him they would recon-
mend to the mass meeting of employees
tonight that the men demand the
court submit all matters to arbitration.
Mr.. Delaney said
II endeavored to dssuade the COM
mlttee from this action, but without
success. The matter of arbitration has
been fully discussed, and I suppose
that Judge Mayer had convinced the
committee that he could not abdicate
his duty as judge, but that he would
ratlfy any arbitration award if it be
within the financial ability of the re-
celver to pay. AS matter of fact. the
committee does understand the limita
ton upon the power of the Judge. and
the latest communication is apparently
put forth to deceive the public.
1T is expected that the public will
believe that the company refuses to
arbitrate. This is not true, and if a
strike ensues the sponsibility will be
upon the union leaders, and not on the
receiver. There is absolutely no justi-
hcatlon for a strike now A strike
would be for the purpose of establish
ing a closed shop and complete union
control and not for wages or hours,
which can be settled without strike.
Even should strike be called no set
tlement can prevail beyond the finan-
clal ability of the receiver to pay"

Anti-S0viet Chief Said To

Copyright 1920, New York Tribune Inc
PARIS, Aug. 27.Dissension is re-
ported to have broken out in the ranks
of the army under General Wrangel,
anti -Bolshevik leader in south Russia
The same trouble which brought about
the downfall of Admiral Kolchak now
threatens to weaken Wrangel in his
hour of success.
In authoritative French circles it is
said that the Reds are becoming more
and more alarmed at Wrangels sue
cesses. Unable to defeat him in bat
tie, they are employing propaganda.
The principal Soviet agent in charge
Of the anti-Wrangel campaign is one

Conservative pro- German Russians
are insisting that Wrangel is the tool
of France, while the potential Liberals
object TO the pro German policy of the
have started an intensive campaign of
propaganda to prevent General Wran-
gel from preserving the unity of his
forces.
General Wrangel's liberal followers,
favorable to the Entente, also are be-
ing bitterly opposed by the Czarist
conservative organization in Berlin.
The Extreme Right party of Schul-
geeme in Berlin has sent some of it's
members to the Crimea to stir UP fur
ther trouble.
The Germans are supporting the
anti Wrangel conservatives, for they do
not wish to see the Bolsheviki over
thrown by any army supported by
France or the Allies. On the other
hand. the Germans hope eventually to
raestablish their influence in Russia

PARIS, Aug. 27.--"How do our Eng
lish friends like being reviled in their
own house by the Bolsheviki, to whom
they have shown hospitality and
whose chief occupation seems to be to
ioment civil war in England" ?" asks
lie Temps this evening, in comment
ing on the latest note dispatched by
the Soviet Foreign Minister Tchitch
erin in reply to the declaration made
by Premiers Lloyd George and Gio-
litti at Lucerne
I'VE sincerely hope" adds Le
Temps, "that our English friends re-
gret the day that they allowed Rosen-
field, alias Kameneff, to warm himself
at their hearth"
Reply Doubted in France
Tchitcherin's reply caused mis-
glvings IN France. The French re-
main indifferent to Bolshevik propa-
ganda; but they are greatly disturbed
at what Lloyd George may have
promised the Reds privately. Tchitch-
erin says that the British had seen
and given assent to all the Bolshevik
peace terms except one-that about
arming the Polish workers. This
stipulation the Bolsheviki have with
drawn.
The French refuse to believe that
Lloyd George had committed himself
as the Bolsheviki pretend. The French
TANK that Lloyd George cannot at least
nave agreed to the thirteenth condi-
'lon on the Bolshevik peace program,
under which Poland would give to Rus,
sia and the Ukraine free transit across
roiand, leaving the Volkovisk- Bialy-
stok-Graievo railway in Russian con-
troll.
They refuse to believe that Llovd
George consented to reduction of the
follsh forces to $4,000 or agreed that
land should be given to the dependents
OF Russians killed in the war.
Await Britain's Move
LIE Journal des Debats tonight saws
that the declaration by the premiers at
Lucerne played into the hands of the
bolsheviki by narrowing down the
Anglo-ltalian objections to the Soviets
to single issue. The newspaper con-
slders that the maneuver now being
employed by the Bolsfeviki in their
latest communication was suggested by

Poles to their country. He added that
if more foreign troops were landed it
was the fault of the people of Danzig
Themselves because they had not re-
spected the terms of the peace treaty,
and the town would have to pay the
cost of the increased occupational
force.
Head Burgomaster Sahm. in reply,
said that distinction should be made
between the neutrality declaration and
the harbor mems refusal 20 unload
war materials. He explained that the
assembly had merely proposed the
Danzig district should be declared a
neutral zone, not because of hostility
to the Poles, but to save the country
from war. The harbor men did not
favor violence, the Burgomaster de-
ciared, and the authorities would do
their utmost to protect foreign and
state property.

Because of her proclaimed neutrality
Germany is obliged to connne the tugi-
tive Russians until the Russian Polish
hostilities are ended. There are still
150, 900 former Russian war prisoners
in various German camps, and the food
and quarantine questions present diff
cult problems. In addition, the confis-
cation of Russian rubles under German
customs regulations threatens to leave
the Bolsheviki penniless. Members of

man border officials, especially in dis
posing of the arms and munitions
