Officials who refused even to con-

in Belgrade that Philoff had reject

troops through Bulgaria and was
relying on Soviet Russia to bolster
Bulgarian resistance.
Presumably Philoff told other min

M'MILLAN SPEAKS
0P%RESBYTERIANS
Saws Home Missions, Trying
To Give tArmy Of Dissat-
isfied' Leadership

Declaring that whoever wins
the loyalty and following of the I'M
derdogs of America today Will be
the leader of this nation in a few
years." the Rev. Homer McNll-
Ian. DID,, of Atlanta, told a large
crowd of Wilmington Presbyter-
ians at st. Andrews church last
night that the Home Mission of the
Presbyterian church are trying to
give 'the great army of dissatis-
fed the leadership they demand.
'In totalitarian nations the die
tators have risen to power on the
dissatisfaction of the people who
are unemployed and who live be-
low the standard economic level
he said.
There is a large section of this
class in the United States," he
said in outlining the work of the
Home Missions with the army OF
sharecroppers, transients and I'M
employed.
we are trying to give them lead
ership to make them safe for this
country and to steel them against
a false leadership" DR.. Mcmillan
said.
DR.. Mcmillan, who is executive
secretary of Assembly's Home
Missions in the Southern Presby-
terian church, said that the Home
Missions are on the front line OF
defense for those living in security
and that the organization works
not only to strengthen the church
but the nation as we'll.
He told of the work OF the Home
Missions in the United States and
particularly in the southwest,
where a number of large churches
have sprung up as a result OF the
work.
Pointing out that the need OF the
work is greater now than ever be-
fore, he said that there was a need
=. of greater financial support for the
missions being operated among the
e. Indian and Mexican popu-
lations. He called attention to the
low salaries being paid in these
three Presbyteries and said that
with more financial support that
the opportunities for expanding the
work can be met.
The meeting was in the form of
"a mass meeting with representa-
:tives present from all the Presby-
itrian churches Q. the city.

that means pine forest.
Speculation in other Balkan capt.
tails that German forces now con-
centrated and concentrating in Ru-
mania may enter Bulgaria was gen.
orally discounted here. 1t was said
that neither the weather nor Soviet
Russia seemed favorable.
Philoff's Vienna trip, ostensibly to
consult an eminent physician, had
given diplomatic observers to believe
that he actually went there to learn
the meaning of great German troop
movements as well as what Germany
expected vf Bulgaria.
Rumors in other capitals Of a Bull
garian cabinet change lacked con-
firmation here. 1t was believed,
however, that a shakeup might fol-
low the February meeting Of parlia-
ment, with Philoff possibly using
his illness as grounds for retiring.

ture, Ivan Bagrianoff, who recently
visited Rome and Berlin, is men

Expenditures under the defense
program during the last six
months amount to 81, $50, 900, 000,"
the President said, this is two
and one-half times the amount
spent for national defense in the
same period of the fiscal year 1910.
However, these expenditures In
derstate the progress already
made. In six months, contracts and
orders for ten billion dollars have
placed. This m e a n S h a n
addition to present defense produc-
ton, all over the country more fac
tories, large and small, are getting
ready rapidly to increase produc-
ton. Once these preparations have
been completed actual deliveries
and expenditures will be greatly
accelerated.
II expect actual expenditure to
be stepped up to four and three
quarter billion dollars in the six
months ending June, 1871, and to
almost eleven billion dollars in the
fiscal year 1912. We shall actually
spend more than Is billion dollars
for defense within a three-y e a r

but only if management, labor and
consumers cooperate to the ut
