'.?.?i ifAcial news re? ceived by the Bulgarian delegation describes the situation at Adrlanople it desperate. Several soldiers who deserted and succeeded In reaching l the headquarters of the allie s, say ,thi town Is In Its last grasp. Pro visions are 10 scarce that the military authorities have requisitioned all the id possessed even by private indi? viduals and are making only one dis? tribution, comprising a half ration daily. Conditions have been rendered more grave by the number of sick who crowd the hospitals, where the at? tention is Inadequate. Thus the death rate is very high. The Bulgarians have allowed medicine and Red Cross workers to enter under the escort of a Bulgarian detachment. | The commander of the foi tress has declared he would rather see all die of starvation than surrender the town; that is why all who can are en dsavoring to escape. The Bulgarians believe even independently of any ac? tion the powers may take, the ques? tion of Adrlanople soon will be solved. I it is understood Constantinople has j accepted the views of Rcchad Pasha, i who recently asked to be authorized to reconvene the conference, he being j here for the next sitting. The difficulty j now lies In the determination of the allies not to participate unless they are notified In advance what Turkey intends to propose, They don't wish lo revive the dls cusslon of unacceptable terms but de- | sire to have i? ai a 04 rtalnty that Tur- i key is ready to c ede w hat has been pronounced ai the irreducible mini? mum of the allies?Andrlanople?after whh h it Will be p< sslble to discuss the frontier line, which must leave thai town in the hands of the allies. in other words, the allies do not wish to play Into Turkey's handi by re entering the conference room wthout a definite programme which may had to definite conclusion of p< ace at this lime. Before the meeting the Turks and allies must have unofficially I C mhon, the French ambassador to I Great Britain, it which the Turks and allies meet for the flrts time on neu? tral grounds, i.-. looked upon as an ex- , eel lent opportunity for the plenlpo- t tentlariei to take the Aral step in the direction of an unofficial understand-I ing. It is suggested also that the British foreign secretary, sir Edward Grey, in his > apadty as honorary pr sldenl of the conference, mlgttit take the initiative, thereby obviating the necessity of either of the parties appearing to make the Brst advance, j This could b< accomplished only if the 1 all! 1 were assured that Turkey would be prepared to glvi up Adrlanople. |?ook < Mit for Them, The spa tanburg Herald says Cn cle Sam's expert "taster." ;? man j Whose sense of tasu is Si keen that 1 he C n detect a drop of sin rr> w ine j in an egg Hip. arrived In Bpartanburg | Wednesday and visited 'ill the so la j fountains und drank t dips to his j In ai t s content.

PHILADELPHIA BANKERS VIEW OF REC'EXT DE%TELOPMEXTS. In < lgant>c Rearrangement of Transportation Systonii it i*? Re? lieved in Philadelphia thai Atlan? tic Const Line System wi l Become Pari of Pennsylvania Company, which Xew President Plans to Ex ? and. . Tin- possil llity of the absorption of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway Sys? tem, by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, is suggested by an intlu ential Philadelphia banker, accord? ing to a story in tin- Philadelphia North Annrican. It Is pointed out that the new president of the big transportation company In the course "f rearrangement, and In view of the I recent decision of the United states Supreme Court, divorcing the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific, will seek to expand the Pennslyvanla by acquiring the Atlantic Coast Line properties, which include 12,334 mile of line . The story as told by the North American is as follows: "That the Pennslyvanla Railroad Company will have spread its do? minion over the whole South before the current year was the view ex? pressed confldentally today by an In j lluential banker, whose associations j open to him many avenues to early I inside information. His belief is that j the Atlantic Coast Line system of 12,334 miles will he annexed to that i of the Pennslyvanla, which now com? prises 11,407 milei of line. "Certain recent developments seem to indicate that some gigantic re? arrangement of the transportation system of the United Stat. s is planned by Samuel Rea, who has just become head of the Pennslyvanla Railroad system, pit dged te inaugurate and carry forward aggressively o policy of construction ajid expansion. it became km w n today that Mr. Lea, on Decen ber -T. resigned as a directoi or the Not folk and Western Railway (Company. "While it is stated that this retire ment of the president of the Pennsyl? vania Railway from the board of the > Norfolk and Western means only that Y r. Rea wants more time to devote lo the i company, there are those who see other significance in the ac? tion. "Financiers Infernrcl this to mean relinquish v a I?"i ui i oum ??? Pacific as i elng a ' comp* ling line, feela that its controlling Interest in the Norfolk and Western and i ; i? i;r holdings of Baltimore and Ohio stock may be attached on tin- same ground. And so it is suggested that the Lea ad? ministration is likely u> set in a way to put the Pennsylvania In certain ac? cord with the Sherman law, as justs further Interpreted."

" I had been troubled, a little, for nearly 7 years,'* writes Mrs. L Rncher, in a letter from Peavy, Ala., "but I was not taken down, until March, when I went to oed and had to have a doctor. Hedidal1 he could for me, but I got no better. I hurt all over, and 1 could not rest. At last, I tried Cardui, and soon I bc^an to improve. Now I am in very good health, and able to do all my housework." f+ TAKE LARDU1 WomaiYsTonic You may wonder why Cardui is so successful, after other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui is successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients, that act curatively on the womanly system. It is a medicine for women, and for women only. It builds, strengthens, and restores weak and ailing women, to health and happiness. If you suffer like Mrs. Fincher did, take Cardui. It will surely do for you, what it did for her.
