'Sofia, Bulgaria, October 21 UP) Bulgaria will repel by force of arms any fnrther invasion of her territory. Mindful of her signature of the Neuilly treaty, Bulgaria will fight with the few thousand men left her as a standing army. Volunteers, flocking to the defense of their national territory, although not officially mobilized or railed to arms, will be allowed to battle along- side their brothers to defend their soil.

Meanwhile terror reigns in Macedonia. The refugee problem, with men, women and children fleeing along im-v passable roads, stumbling, falling and dying in exhaustion, is becoming too great for the Bulgarian Bed Cross to handle. Word comes that the Greeks have penetrated Bulgarian territory to a depth of seven miles or more on a 20-mile front and 'that Fetrich only a few miles to the northwest of Demir-hissar, where the first clash occurred, has been under a heavy bombardment of shrapnel. Belgrade, the capital of Jugoslavia, thus far has shown a friendly attitude for which Bulgarian statesmen and people are duly appreciative. LEAGUE COUNCIL TO ACT MONDAY Geneva, October 24.

As soon as the league council convenes in l'aris Monday it is expected to demand formally that both Greek and Bulgarian armies retire to their respective frontiers. This action will re- lnovc any doubt about Greecc's-atti-tude in failing to comply with the request from Foreign Minister Briand. of France, for evacuation of Bulgarian territory. League officials pointed out tonight that Briand's request was purely a personal one, sent by him as president of the council. The Greek failure to comply, it was said, does not constitute a violation of the council's decision.

However, if the formal demand is issued Monday the issue will be clearly defined. Evacuation would be asked pending settlement of the dispute, which is likely to require two months' tine. If Greece refused, the council would be obliged to appy progressively the sanctions of Article 1G. This would mean, first, the severance of all diplomatic, relations with Greece by the 4 other members of the league. If this were not financial, economic and commercial relations would be severed, constituting an economic blockade.

Finally, the council can recommend joint military and naval action against Greece. Members of the league are con- Pooly Hubert and Johnny Mack Brown, as in 1924, Prove Nemesis of Golden Tornado. TOUCHDOWN SCORED UPON 55-YARD RUN Alabama Almost Scores Second Touchdown Upon Forward Pass in Last Play of Game. BY GEORGE COXGDOX. France had Xapoleon and Tech has its Wycoff, but, delving deeper into history, Britain had Wellington, and Alabama has its Pooly Hubert and Johnny Mack Brown.

Where the warlike gent bearing the name of Bonaparte got it just once in the neck, Tech last year succumbed to Alabama's Hubert and Brown, and then came back Saturday and took another spanking. The score Saturday was only 7 to 0, but there never was any fluke to that piece of football history. The most remarkable part of Alabama's Tictory Saturday over the Golden Tornado was that the 12 men, including Coach Alexander, who triumphed over Oglethorpe, V. M. Penn State and Florida in quick succession, were put under the table by exactly three men.

Add the name of Coach Wallace Wade to the two Crimson warriors aforementioned and you have the tribunal that kicked several quite sturdy props from under the Yellow Jackets' conference championship aspirations. There wasn't any pre-game underestimation of the Crimson Tide's forward wall. It wasn't much after Buckler and Jones are taken from the seven as worthy stars. There wasn't any "over-estimation of Tech's line that has opened the way for Tech backs in their driving game. The super-speed of Brown, the same who snagged a forward pass over Tech's goal last season for the winning touchdown, and Hubert's ability to break through the slightest hole in the Tech forward wall on both offense and defense were, the margin of the Crimson win.

The teams played evenly for the first half and part of the third quarter, with each displaying momentary-flash. Alabama had driven the ball down to Tech's I.j-yard line after Carry's recovery of the ball on Williams' fumble in returning Barnes 40-yard punt. Barnes rammed through to Tech's seven-yard line and fumbled, Wycoff recovering there and apparently the Alabama menace. Murray tried right tackle and came out with a yard gain. Interference Is Perfect.

Unable to get his backs through th Alabama line, Wycoff backed off and booted the oval 48 yards. The punt was almost out of bounds on the west sideline, but this Johnny Mack Brown, (Continued on First Sport Pa4e.)

FOUR TOUCHDOWNS MADE UPON PASSES Athens Delirious With Joy at Victory Over Old Rival Aerial Game Mystifies Vandy. BY CLIFF WIIEATLET. Special Correspondent.

Athens, October 24. (Special.) Vanderbilt's hopes for southern conference titular consideration are a smouldering mass tonight, blasted and tattered and torn by the most relentless aerial attack ever launched by a football team representing the University of Georgia. The final score of today's encounter was 26 to 7 and Athens is wildly acclaiming the victory. Few looked for a Bulldog triumph ovc- the Commodores. Most of the crowd, of more than 7,000 spectators, expected Georgia to fight hard and hold the Commodores to a respectable margin.

There were others who could see nothing save a terrible lacing for the Athenians. They were the ones who based their opinions on what Virginia did to the Bulldogs. They were the ones who viewed solely the outcome of the tilt with Yale and who did not study the method the Blue used in piling up its counters. They were the ones who failed to see that Georgia hit its true stride in the Furman game. Georgia's Attack Polished.

The Bulldogs, who made monkeys out of tba Commodore defense this afternoon, were not the players- who permitted Virginia to kick them out of the conference race. Aggressiveness took the place of indifference and after the first few minutes, there never was much doubt about the ultimate outcome, so polished was Georgia's attack and so finished the defense she used in solving the problems the Commodores offered. Four touchdowns were registered by the Red and Black. Running plays figured little in them for the day wasn't the sort that Georgia's fleet (Continued on First Sport Page.) SCHNEIDER RACES AGAIN POSTPONED Monday Is New Date Set For Seaplane Classic Originally Set for Saturday Afternoon. Baltimore, October 24.

UP) Washed out ingrain squals at Bay Shore Park today the Jacques Schneider international seaplane trophy race will take place next Monday, if the weather man's promise of fair weather holds out over the week-end. A special trial for the world's speed record over a three-kilometer course, scheduled orig- I inally for tomorrow morning, may be held Tuesday. The Schneider cup contest committee postponed today's scheduled race at 10 o'clock, the earliest hour at which it legally could do so under the Schneider rules. The first postponement was until tomorrow, later in the day unpromising weather reports for Sunday were, received and the committee met again, authorizing President George C. Smith, of the Flying, club, of Baltimore, formally to announce the new race date as Monday.

Pilot Bert Dinkier, of the British team's reserve Gloster-Xapier III, seaplane, made his second attempt this morning to complete the British entries. Rain, wind and tide proved too great a hazard however, and he was forced to abandon the attempt to qualify hi the navigability tests when his motor stalled half a mile off shore. Convoyed by a coterie of launches, and two sub-chasers, the Gloster-Xapier ILL, had nosed out into the bay through a smother of spray into a white-capped and perilously high running sea. The postponement gives Pilot II inkier another chance to prove his craft worthy of substituting- on the starting line for Britain's "Mystery Ship." the Supermarine-Xapier S-4, which fell with Captain Henry C. Biard and was wrecked Friday.

The forecast for Bay Shore was continued rain tonight and tomorrow morning, unsettled and colder tomorrow afternoon and night, and probably clear Monday. AMPS COMMODORE TRIAL Protest Against Appointment on Military Court Filed at Department by Airman's Friends. COLONEL TO FIGHT 96TH WAR ARTICLE Militant Flier Asserts There Is Nothing in Articles of War Prohibiting Free Speech. Raleight, X. October 21.

Protests against the appointment of General A. J. Bowley; commandant at Fort Bragg, to sit with the military court which will try Colonel William Mitchell for alleged violation of the article of war have been lodged with the war department by friends of the former assistant air service chief in this state, according to a story which will appear tomorrow morning in the Raleigh News and Observer. The protest, it is said, is made on the grounds that the general in a speech at Greenville, N. last Wednesday night expressed opinions hostile to General Mitchell, and which will make his presence ovi the court prejudicial to the accused Sir officer.

Conies of the speech have been sent to the war department. In the Greenville address, delivered on the same night of the announcement that he had been named as a member of the court-martial, General Bowley took issue sharply with Colonel Mitchell's contention for a separate air service. The general, however, did not directly take cognizance of the court proceedings against Colonel Mitchell. The defense in a military court is allowed to challenge any member he believes prejudiced against him. Colonel Mitchell is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at Washington.

MITCHELL TO FIGHT LEGALITY OF CHARGE. Washington, October 24. Colonel William Mitchell, critic of the administration of the country's air service, plans to attack the constitutionality of article 9fi of the articles of war, under which lie has been court-martialed. Announcement of this was made Saturday night when Keproscniative Reid, chief of Mitchell's civilian counsel, issued a statement declaring that there is nothing in the articles of war which prohibits freedom of speech. Called Unconstitutional.

The same constitution which gives congress power to enact those articles forbids it from passing any law abridging that freedom, Reid said. The right of freedom of speech is undoubtedly guaranteed by the con stitution and if the ninety-sixth article of war abridges that right, it is unconstitutional and void.

Identification was made at the Newport naval hospital by J. II. Taylor, fingerprint expert, who came here this morning from the bureau of identification in Washington. Determination of the identity of the two other one of which was found yesterday and one the day before, may be delayed, it was said, owing to the condition of the -bodies. Taylor has wired to Washington for additional identification records.

The second body found yesterday was later identified as that of Robert S. Noble, motor machinist's mate, first class. Merrimack, Mass. He was 27 years old and his father was Robert E. Noble.

Lieutenant Haselden was 26 years old and single. His nest of kin is a sister. Miss Mary Lucia Haselden, also of IMllon, S. C. The body was found cld in pajamas.

Identification was made by means of fingerprints and a wallet found in the pajamas. IN MITCHELL Terrific Cyclone Off Coast Of India Devastates Pearl Fleet. Karachi, India, October 24. More than 1,000 lives are reported to have been lost when a terrific cyclone, probably the worst in the storm history of the Persian gulf, sank two score of vessels near Bahrain. The victims were mostly pearl fishers from the great fisheries in the Bahrain islands.

Their boats, caught in the twisting wind and water currents, were sent to the bottom like frail shells. Many floating bodies were reported seen after the storm abated. CITYOFFICIALS LAUNCH DRIVE FOR PURE MILK Dairymen Ordered To Improve Methods Until "Cleaner Than Those Used by Housewife." Milk production in Atlanta under methods "cleaner than those used by any housewife' will be sought by the dairy and food division of the city health department at the end of the milk-grading period which begins Monday ends February 6, 1926, it was announced Saturday in a statement issued by II. D. Lucas, chief of the division.

All Atlanta dairymen are notified that as fast as their dairies pass sanitary requirements set forth in the milk I ordinance passed last February, they will be placed immediately on a qualifying list for a determination of the bacterial qualify of their production. Under the bacteria provision, which is to be enforced after the end of the grading period, all milk must be below the 50,000 bacteria limit per cubic centimeter. All dairies having products which do not meet the bacteria tests will be required to have their products pasteurized by qualifying plants. Pasteurizing plants in Atlanta will be required to meet all sanitary requirements imposed by the dairy division of the United States department of agriculture, bureau of animal industry, during the grading period between October 26, 1023, and February 6, 102G, and then will be put on the qualifying list for determination of bacterial quality of their product under official methods of the United States department of health.

CATTLE INDDSTRY ON VERGE OF RDIN Congress Must Pass Remedial Legislation at Next Session, Arizona Senator Asserts. Washington, October 21. UP) Unless the cattle industry is to be driven from the United States, congress must pass remedial legislation at the next session. Senator Cameron, republican, Arizona, declared today in a summary of his findings as a result of the senate committee investigation of public lands.

Virtually all of the cattle men of the west are on the verge of bankruptcy, he asserted, adding that if something is not done within the next year, they will be forced out of business. The cattle men's difficulty, Le said, can be traced to government restrictions on grazing lands on the public domain and in the national forests. At the next session he declared he intended to make an effort to get a bill enacted which would give the cattle men the right to lease land on the public domain for at least ten years, with the privilege to fence the property. The legislation also would include establishment of a nominal uniform grazing fee in the national forests. Georgia Juries Impose Death Penalty Upon 3.

ROOSEVELT PARTY GEMSPECIMENS OF RARE MS PQLI Cablegram Received in Chicago Tells of Success Of Expedition to Central Asia. Chicago, October 24.

The James Simpson-Roosevelt expedition to Central Asia for the Field museum of Cfhieago has conquered the mighty Famir plateaus and has obtained four of the rare ovis poli (marco polo sheep) which were the outstanding objective of the expedition. News of the success of the expedition was announced by I). C. Davies. director of the museum, who received a cablegram Saturday from Colonel Theodore and Kermit Roosevelt.

The cablegram was sent October 25, just 30 days from the time the adventuresome sons of the late president began their dash to the high altitudes of the Pamira. The cable said: br.ve had good success with the ovis poli. Have excellent group of four besides several other specimens for the museum. We are going straight to Srinugar where the Mrs. Koosevelts will meet us." "The cable means that the Roose-velts have lived up to the sportsman's heritage handed down to them by their father, and have obtained what they went for," said Mr.

Davies. "The expedition is now a complete success." Although the time that the Roose-vclts will actually leave India is unknown here, the expedition may now be considered "on its way home," the cablegram received Saturday having been sent of necessity upon the return of the Roosevelts from the Pamirs. The ovis xoli according to Mr. Davies. is considered by sjiortsmen as a trophy of trophies because of the great difficulty of reaching its lair.

printersITek woodward fond Echo of Litigation Following Death of Former Mayor Sounded in Fulton Courts. Suit in equity to compel Mrs. J. N. Cenfroe, of Atlanta, to turu over from the estate of her father, James G.

Woodward, as a trust fund under tcrm3 of a contract made a year ago, was filed in federal court Saturday by the Fnion Printers' Home, of Colorado Springs, Colo. The suit is an echo of the litigation which followed immediately after the death of Mr. Woodward, a former mayor of Atlanta and one of the city's most picturesque figures. His will devised the greater portion of his estate to the printers home, giving a life interest in his estate to his widow and virtually cutting Mrs. Renfroe, his daughter.

The daughter immediately filed caveat proceedings, in which the home intervened and insisted that the win be probated. While the matter was pending in the courts, an agreement was rcaehed. The printers' home claiming that attorneys for Mrs. Renfroe signed in open court with her consent a contract by which she agreed to deposit in bank here the sum of $10,000, the income to be her own for life and the money to go to the home at her death. Meanwhile the widow, it was Continued on page 4, column 4.

Caillaux, Back to Wall, Begins Battle To Hold Post This Week as Finance Minister. Paris, October 24. Premier Tain-leve, speaking tonight at a banquet of the republican socialist party, confessed that a grave financial crisis confronted the government. lie said France was passing through a "terrible year" and revealed disquieting details of her fiscal condition. Painleve admitted that the government faces extraordinary expenses and cited the Moroccan campaign.

The government he said, has borrowed between six and seven billion francs from the Bank of France. "The hoilr has come," he declared, "when some other measure of raising funds is necessary." Admits Difference of Opinion. The premier admitted that divergencies existed on the means of obtaining the required resources, some persons favoring a capital levy, others urging additional taxes. Painleve said he hoped an accord would be reached between the two policies, and he favored far reaching measures rather than temporary expedients. A hint of the cabinet crisis, which is looming, and the possibility of a new government was given when the premier said Favors Freedom of Action.

"Whoever the men are who are confided with this work whether those now in power or those who may be called to succeed us they should be given all liberty of action, the confidence of the country and ample time to work, out a solution." Referring to the Greeeo-Bulgar quarrel, Painleve said that peace would be established, "thanks to the existence of the league of nations." He said he hoped the Locarno (Continued on Page 4.

"I wish I could have a full glass of the best every morning at my breakfast table," Rev. Donaldson wrote, "but the consciences of my weaker brethren, and our unjust law say 'you must deprive yourself of this God-given personal right and liberty. From time immemorial wine has been a beverage of the human race, with no Divine prohibition, and it will continue to be." The minister expressed himself as opposed to over-indulgence in wine. "Because," he wrote, "a certain per cent of men make hogs of themselves is no reason why self-poised men and women should be barred by legisla- Continued on Page 4, Column 2.)

DUBLIN CITIZENS SENTENCEDTO PEN Judge of City Court and Prominent Attorney Given Year and Day on Conspiracy Charge. Macon. October 24. UP) judge Grover C. Bidgood.

of the Dublin, city court, and Attorney W. A. Dampier, also of Dublin, found guilty yesterday in federal court here on charges of conspiracy to violate assets in bankruptcy, were sentenced to serve a year and a day each, when arraigned today before Federal Judge William II. Barrett. Fete Thomas, Dublin merchant, who entered a plea of guilty to this charge early this week, was given six months In the penitentiary.

The three are accused of conspiracy to conceal $10,000 assets, of which $4,000 was cish and $0,000 was the estimated value of scores of auto tires that were hidden. The cases resulted from Thomas' voluntary petition in bankruptcy filed here in April in United States court. He operated a large auto accessory business in Dublin. Bidgood and Dam-' pier were counsel for him at various times during the proceedings, and are alleged "to have aided and abetted" Thomas. -Attorneys for Dampier and Bidgood filed a motion for a new trial, which will be heard by Judge Barrett in Augusta on December 8.

Quoting from the Bible in numerous instances to uphold his contention that the United States prohibition law should be modified to allow manufacture of wine, the Rev. C. X. Donaldson, formerly pastor of the Inroan Park Baptist church, of Atlanta, and later pastor of the First Baptist church in Charleston, S. has addressed a letter to The Constitution declaring the Volstead act to be defective.

Rev. Donaldson now is retired and is living in Atlanta. Legislation which prohibits the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors is extreme, the minister asserted, expressing the belief that wine should have been exempted from its provisions. "The Bible," he wrote, "nowhere prohibits the making and drinking of wine, but only the abuse of this good, natural blessing." Rev. Donaldson expressed the belief that Jesus Christ must have drunk wine, pointing to the bridal feast where He increased the amount of wine.

"Jesus, was a social man," he wrote. STATIONS (Temperature TLa. a AM STATE OF 'is hrs WKATHEK I 7 p.
