If Terrifi- 1 London, FORUM ESTABLISHED NOV. 17, 1891. American Flag Dragged the Mud in Caaada 0av' Gfer Hani Americans Tore Down Mexican Flag IWaguay Flag Stolen From Residence in 'Frisco "W&shJngtoh, D. R-^iivesritl Incidents involving desecrations of national flags which marked celebra tions yesterday, are expected to form & subject of complaints to the state department, though so far nothing has been heard from them. An affair at Winnipeg, Man., in volving the trampling of an American flag at a British parade probably can not be made the basis of a protest for the reason that international law doesn't guarantee protection of a foreign flag except they are displayed over official buildings. In the Tucson, Ariz, incident, how ever, where the flag over the Mexican consulate was torn down, the state department probably will feel obliged to request the local authorities to make proper apology and amends to the Mexican consul, if that can be done without involving any official recognition of the Huerta government, which appears to be the great, ap prehension of the state department, at this juncture, Tucson, July 6.—The hauling down yesterday of the Mexican flag over the consulate, was subject of a report to the Mexican embassy at Washington. Consul Ainslie also made a formal protest to Mayor Huffman. Prominent Mexican residents are formulating a protest to the state de partment at Washington. .p"' Winnipeg, July 6.—An J^eri flag was trampled in the mud and torn, and the American who waived it slightly intoxicated, was also rolled in the mud at Moose Jaw, Sask., late last night, according to word received here today. The American had un furled the flag from a lamp post. San Francisco, July 5.—The national ensign of Paraguay was cut yester day from the staff on the roof of the residence of Estorjie Calderon, consul general for Paraguay, during his absence. Calderon had been surprised earlier in the day by a visit from two men who demanded the flag be lower ed. Later the house maid heard a noise on the roof and saw a man hurrying away with the flag. V e-, i A Being FoSglt J^tweai Greeks and Sfilgarian Strategy Was Successful in Drawing Greeks From Fortified Position and the Bulgarians Are Threat ening Outflanking Movement -r July Vienna, July 5.—Desperate fighting has been in progress between the Bul garians and Servians since yesterday near Veles, according to the Sofia cor respondent of The Neue Freie Presse. He says the Bulgarian troops repulsed the Servians' southern wing with heavy losses and expect to occupy Veles shortly. The same correspond ent telegraphed that a great battle ex tending over an area of fifty miles was being fought north of Saloniki, where 80,000 Greeks opposed 100,000 Bulgari ans. SI "Reports received by The to day indicate that the rain of yester day was general over the entire north west. It was especially heavy in parts of North Dakota. The rain covered all the state, as far as can be learned and practically puts the crap out of all danger. The Official Report Today, owing to wife troubles "the signals did not reach Mrs. Grasse of the Moorhead weather bureau, until a o'clock this afternoon. The fore r.«st had been repeated little earlier. The signals disclosed rainfalls at St. Paul of 1.38 inches Duluth, 2.32 inches Williston, 1.10 inches La Crosse, Wis., 1.10 Inches none South .Dakota, Bismarck, .58 Grand Forks, 28 and Devils l^alte .36 inches. There were no Canadian wires avail able, this morning. Bulgarians DISGRACEFUL INCIDENT. ."I V 5—A disgraceful Incident marked th«'a#)val'4t -B^** fcrade today of over 1.300 Bulgarian prisoners of war, according to a Belgrade dispatch. The prisoners marched through the streets in the presence of immense crowds of Serv ians who closed in, cheering wildly 8.t the rear wagons loaded with wounded, lying three deep, many appar r. ently dying. Even this didn't stop thei enthusiastic outburst of the mob and the correspondent adds that peace between the nations is Impossible after this. The latter havo made a number of minor attacks since Monday with the hopes of getting the Greeks to assume the offensive and the lure was a suc cess. The result, it is believed, will be the deciding factor in the Greek Bulgarian campaign. The strategy of the Bulgarian com manders forced the Greeks to abandon several fortified positions near Salon iki, Lanaga-sa Lake and Beshik Lake. The Greeks are now threatened by an outflanking attack of 30,000 Bulgarians advancing from south of Tahynos Lake. WHIN'S .•TRIBUTE TO THE President Made' wsndfeftifl Address Yesterday Was Last Formal Mart of the Big Cdebi&tjp v.. President Says Counfry's Ene mies Still. Gettysburg, July 5.—The" regular army paid tribute to the thousands who sleep under the hills of Gettys burg. Somewhere down in the heart of the tented city a bugle rang out a call that wandered over the field where Lee and Meade made history, and the big flag before the headquarters of General Liggett came slowly to half mast. In front of the tent, shoulders squared, figure trim in summer uni- form of white, faced toward the flag, tha general clicked his heels together and stood at attention somewhere the guns of the Third infantry burst into a salute. Every officer over the length and breadth of the wide field, every enlisted man turned away from hla duties of the moment and faced ths flag, saluting. Old veterans who did not realize, perhaps, just what was going on, stood silent under the spell of universal feel-s ing that seemed to sweep the field* Even the clatter of pots and pans iiv the mess tents was hushed. For five minutes the camp was quiet. Then the bugle spoke again. The flag leaped up the staff to the very pin-» nacle and the noises that 40-000 men can make resumed sway. It was the regular army's tribute to the dead a"d to the flag of a reunited nation." The five minutes of silence was probably the last formal mark of the semi-centennial celebration. Wilson's Address, President Wilson's address to the veterans yesterday was a remarkably effort. The president said: Friends and fellow citizens: I need not tell you what the battle of Gettys burg meant. These gallant men in blue and gray sit all about us here. Many of them met here upon this ground in grim and deadly struggle.*. Upon these famous fledds and hillsides their comrades died about them. In their presence it were an impertinence to discourse upon how the battle went, how it ended, what it signified! But fifty years have gone by since then, and I crave the privilege of speaking to you for a few minutes of what those fifty years have meant. What have they meant? They have meant peace and union and vigor, and the maturity and might of a great na tion. How wholesome and healing the peace has been! We have found one another again as brothers and com rades In arms, enemies no longer, gen erous friends rather, our battles long past, the quarrel forgotten—except that we shall not forget the splendid valour, the manly devotion of the men then arrayetd against one another, now grasping hands and smiling into each other's eyes. How complete the union has become and how dear to all of us how unquestioned, how benign and majestic, as state after state has been addeid to this our great family of free men! How handsome the vigor, the maturity, the might of the great na tion we love with undivided hearts how full of large and confident prom ise that a life will be wrought out that will crown its strength with gracious justice and with a happy welfare that will touch all alikei with deep content ment! We are debtors to those fifty crowded years they have made us heirs to a mighty heritage. But do we deem the nation complete and finished? These venerable men crowding here to this famous field have set us a great example of devo tion and utter sacrifice. They are will ing to die that the people might live But their task is done*, Their day is turned into evening. They look to us to perfect what they established. Their work is handed on to us, to be done in another way but not in another spirit. Our day is not over it is upon us in full tide. Have affairs paused? Does the na tion stand still? Is what the fifty years have wrought since those days of bat tle finished, rounded out, and complet ed Here is a great people, great with every force that has ever beaten in the lifeblood of mankind. And it is se cure. There is no one within its bor ders, there is no power among the na tions of thei earth, to make it afraid But has It yet squared itself with its gpr?tipued on ^age $ i ,i».. i *A i A 1 DUMI Col. M.
