ATHENS RIOTS AS
BULGARSPUSH ON
6rave Trouble Breaks Oat in
6reok Capital.
STRONG PROTEST IS MADE
Ksvsls Sssms Goal of Long Dslsyed
Drive Agalnet the Allied Lines In
Grssee.
A news despatch from Athsns says
that grave trouble has broksn out
thsre as a result of ths lavsslon of
Macedonia by the Bulgarians.
Following their Invasion of Grssk
tsrritory and their capture without re
aistance of the Greek forts of Rnpel,
Spatoro, Kanevo and Dragotln, in the
Struma valley, the Bulgarian forces,
which number about >5,000, btve push
ed forward and occupied th{ station
and bridge at Damir-HlssaT, which is
the key to Serges and which was re
csntly partly destroyed by the allies
in anticipation of this attack.
At one point Greeks Bred on the Bul
garians and at others, sttemptlng to
make a stand, they were vigorously
shsllsd the Bulgers.
Near Damir-Hlssar tbs Bulgarians
began a violent artillery bombard
ment of the allied lines. The main
Bulgar advance Is said to bs directed
against Kavala, on the Aegean.
All the Indications srs tbst the long
ei pec ted drive against the allies In
Macedonia Is finally under way. The
point where the Invasion took place
was far to the east of the place where
It was expected tljat tbe central pow
ers would strike.
If the Bulgarians attemptel to estab
lish -a naval base at Kavala the city
wIU be shelled by the adlled warships,
according to the Paris Matin, which
gives tbe following brief resume on
tbe situation In the RalUatis:
"The French and English do not
fssl called upon to defend Greek forts
outside the ra-.lius of their Held of ac
tion. They would only do so with tha
co-operation of the Greek army. But
there is no Immediate prospect ot t'-ls.
If the Bulgarians attempt to tHtsbilrh
a naval base at kavala the allied Heel
would shell It while registtlng the
damage to the Greek town."
The couibs of events is expected to
involve Oreece in serious war disputes,
If it does not actually'result In forc
ing her Into the conflict. Popular In
dignation has never been so strong as
at the latest violation of Greek terri
tory, and tbe government's protest,
forwarded to Berlin, Vienna and Sofia,
is said to be unusuai'y sharp In tone.
In bis organ, the Herald, M. Vent
zelos, tbe former premier, writes:
whoever dreamed to see the Bulgarian
flag supplant the Oreek flag In Mace
donia! Just for this we have msln
talned mobilization at the est of the
economic ruin of the country."
The Herald appeared with a black
border as a token of national mourn
ing.
Two attacks wars mads by German
troops advancing from Corbeaux
(Crows) wood northwest of Verdun
The French war office says these as
saults resulted in fsilure.

Three persons were killed and I

a barn at Twenty-seventh street |
anil Hunting Park avense, Philadel
phia, In which they had taken refuse, j
was struck by lightning during the
moat aevere electrical atorm of the
Mason.
The deai\ are: Florence Smith, Ma
rie Wheaton and Louis White.
The Injured are: Margaret Kurlgei
and John Johnson.
The three glijis ami two young men ,
decided to go to a small grove known |
as Old Oaks (or a picnic.
The atorm came up so suddenly that j
they barely had time to make a rush ,
for an old, decaying ham on the place. J
Ily the time the barn waa reached the ■
rulri bad already begun to fall. ]
Miss Smith, Miss Wheaton and •
White went Inside to dry their clothes j
as best tliey could, and Miss Kurlger
and Johnson remained In the doorway
to watch the storm. All three who
went Inside were killed and tho others'
escaped with injuries.
There was a sudden, unusually vivid
flash of lightning, according to the
story told by Johnson, then an ear
splitting crash, and the barn wavered.
It all happened so quickly those Inside j
' probably did not know what had oc- '
' curred until the barn, with only one
short warntng, caved In.
None three inside had a 1
1 chance to escape. They wore buried 1
beneath tho mass of smoking debris.
1 Though severely Injured himself, John
' son dragged Miss Kurlger 1 rem danger,
' She had been stunned when the bolt
crumbled the bam. A large piece ol
timber was hanghig to a single post
directly above where she lay.
In the fare of almost blinding rain
that camo down In groat torrentlaf
sheets, ha dragged her to safety. He
himself bud been struck by (lying
debris. As soon as Johnson saw thai
Ms companion was out of harm'a way
and quickly reviving, be ran across a
vacant tot to a drug store.
A call wa' sent to the HV.ls of the
Schuylkill pollen station for the -am
bttlance. Two wagons, flllel with pa
lice, were rushed to the scene. The
storm was stftl at Its height as the
police patrols dashed through the
streets and those In the neighborhood
of the accident, despite the rain, wind
and lightning, dashed from their
homes to" aid In I lie rescue work.
A great pile of shattered tlmborg
was the only thing that marked the
place where the barn once stot,d and
tho grave of the two girls and boy.
Bluish lightning played weird lights
over the heaps as the rescuing parly
worked their war down to the bodies.
The first body reached wa» that ol
Miss Smith. A huge beam that had
helped support the roof killed her out
right. It lay across her head. Close
beside her, with bauds uplifted as
'though to ward off the impending blow
that kllleil her. was Miss Wheaton.

PLAN BACK YARD GARDEN.
A Small Pateh Can Bupply a Family
With Fresh Vsgstsblee All Seaaon.
[Prepared by United States department
of agriculture.]
"Plan yonr back yard garden on pa- /a
per In advance" is the advice ot tha
vegetable garden specialists of tha
United States department ot agricul
ture. A little indoor gardening of this
sort will enable you to have fresh veg
etable* throughout the season and will.
make the same ground, with little «X- . ..
trn In I tor ami expense, yield two or
three crops Instead of the single crop
commonly raised In small gardens.
Where two or three crops are growd
Instead of one a comparatively small
gnrden will supply tbe average family
with fresh vegetables all season. More
over, such planning In advance will
enable you to get tbe ground ready In
tlmo (or planting and to secure yonr
seeds snd plant them at the dates
which give each variety its best grow
ing conditions. For example. If yon
will thun plan tbe plot to be devoted
to peas by the time yonr first crop Is
'
a AIIDEN YK3VTABUM.
harvested the second crop will be In
bearing snd tbe plants of the third
well advanced.
Ncjtt study yonr garden bulletins or
book* on horticulture and the sted est- - ~*-*i
alogue* to determine what can b* I
grown In yonr climate under the con
ditions of exposure, soil and drainage
In your back yard. This study may
lend you to plan ditches to Improve
drainage, show you that yonr soli
needs finely sifted ashes to break up
Its sticky character or tbat you must
add rotted manure, dried blood, bona
meal, wood ashes, lime or other fer
tilisers to make It suitable for vege
tables. , iSjsjpj
Then comes the consultation with
the family to determine tbe sorts ot
vegetables the different members like
and which, therefore, they personally '
«ill lie Interested In raising. Conflno
your selections to tho gtandard well
tried sorts. Finally. and>W» lj most
Important, la.-tbo conference -between *
the garden force* snd tlii>-liotiscwl(e as
to what ve:'ct>UiW.js«lly are worth
raising In the liack yard. It will hard
ly pay to raise in a small space pots- ."
toes. corn, cucumbers, squashes or
melons, whlcb occupy a large area In
proportion to yield and which can be • *"
lionght cheaply In nearby markets* >
In general tbe aim of the back yard
gardeuer should lie to raise those veg
etables which nre either expensive or
in which the flavor or quality depends
Importantly on nlwolntefresbneaSL Peas
and string lieans or lima beans, to be
at their l>e*t. should be cooked almost
Immediately after they are gathered.

(jnently as much space as possible
should lie devoted to such vegetables, . JT
and other vegetables In wblcb fresh- !
ne«s does not count so Importantly
should Inrgely be used as fillers to
keep the ground at work. K(To0 also ,
should bo made In a garden to have
s|ieclal vegetables, such as okra, of
which the family Is fond and which
are difficult to obtain In locsl markets,
or arc commonly high priced. The'
housewife probably will want a little
bed of parsley, chives or other herbs,,
not because they are expensive to buy,!
but because of the convenience of be-j
. lng able to pick a sprig Just when It is
