Adrianople Retaken by Moslems
Who Push on to Regain
All Lost Territory.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
SOFIA. July 21.—Suffering defeat
after defeat at the hands of its for
mer allies and friends, the crowning
humiliation coming at the hands of
the Turks, who recaptured Adrianople
without opposition, the warlike spirit
of the Bulgarians has been tamed.
With the Roumanian army within
a day’s march of Sofia, the Bulgars
are ready to accept peace at any price.
The retaking of Adrianople by the
Turks seems to mark the utter col
lapse of Bulgaria’s resistance to the
attacks of its former allies and its
former enemy.
Apparently Bulgaria’s recent crush
ing reverses are largely due to dis
sensions among its commanders in
the field and the lack of confidence
on the part of the Government in the
heads of its army.
From present indications it is like
ly that Bulgaria will be shorn of the
territory which came to it as the
result of the victories over the Turks
in the recent war.
Already the Sofia Government has
offered Roumania an important terri
torial concession to cease hostilities,
it is likely that the other Balkan
States will claim a large share of
territory as the fruits of victory.
Peace arrangements probably will
be made without the assistance of the
powers, the Balkan States being in
sistent upon settling their dispute
without outside interference.

Win#, therefore, should be the sense

The impression is that only the
most selfish of interest** are behind
the movement to harm the game laws,
even though sorr^e ot ; the members ad

that, and that the. movement should
Aot succeed.

—-It-w%s a long, dusty, hot trip to Au
gusta—there and back the same day—
but it was altogether worth while.
The Legislature gladly and willingly
testifies to that!
Judge Carl Vinson’s announcement
for Congress has aroused consider
able interest throughout the State,
and particularly in the Tenth District.
Few men in Georgia Reserve more
credit thaji Carl Vinson. -He began
life with practically' nothing, arid
while he does not own any great num
ber of coupon bonds yet, he still is
getting along from fair to middling
well. He has served his county
creditably in the House of Repre
sentatives. and Inst session was
Speaker Pro Tern. If elected to Con
gress. he will make a first-class mem
ber—no doubt of that.
Vinson used to be a newsboy in
MilledgeVilld, and later along becam
something of a magnate in that busi
ness. With the savings of several
years, he. went to Mercer University,
where he graduated with distinction
and honors.
He is now a practicing attorney j
in Milledgeyjl]e, .and is judge of th*-
County Court of Baldwin.
Therfe' are thfee opinions prevailing
in the Legislature with respect to the
Western and Atlantic Railroad—the
State’s biggest piece of property.
One faction inclines to sell the road
outright, a second faction inclines to
extend it to the Atlantic Ocean, and
a third faction inclines to let it alone
and re-lease it as It now Is.
The present lease expires in 1919.
and. therefore, the matter of the
road's disposition is already a matter
of great concern, and speculation is
general as to just what will become
of it.
The present Legislature will make
no immediate specific recommenda
tions. of course, because there no*
only is plenty of time left in which to
adjust , the matter, but anything this
Legislature might do would, perhaps,
be subject to revision by future Leg
islatures—unless a hard and fast bar
gain were entered into at once, which
is not within the range of the prob
able.
The Western and Atlantic’s re
lease, or sale, or extension, is a prob
lem of far-reaching complications,
involving not only* the finest property
the State of Georgia has. hut the set
tlement of a question pending between
the State and Chattanooga, involving
the State of Tennessee.
Prohibitionists generally In Geor
gia are watching developments in Ma
con with interested eyes.
A number of saloons in that city
have been closed by process of in
junction. under the act permitting
the abatement of nuisances, and if
that movement Is sustained by .the'
Supreme Court, it Is contended that
the prohibitionists of Georgia will
need no further Tippins bills, Webb
bill, or any other sort of bills, to
make prohibition effective.
At least one case will be carried
up promptly from the city of Macon
as a test. Upon, it prohibitionists are
building their fondest hopes, while
the other fellows are unjlously watch
ing to see what happens.

GREAT BASEBALL TEAM
All the important leagues of baseball are now in action. So are tens of
thousands of fans. So are also the men who write of the doings of the dia
mond stars for those same fans to read.
It is the newspaper with the STAR TEAM of writers that makes the
strongest appeal to baseball enthusiasts.
BUT—to be stars, baseball players and writers about the diamond
warriors must be fair and square. That is an essential part of KNOWING
THE GAME.
