WERE MURDERED

Thirty Thousand Killed in Mustapha
and Three Hundred Thousand in
I
Bulgarian Thrace.
I
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Jan. 16.—A ten- I
sus taken by the government agents
in the district of Mustapha show
that o£ the 34,000 Bulgarians who in
habited the district formerly only 4,
000 remain, the others having been
killed by the roving bands of Serv
ians and Greeks, while in Bulgarian
Thrace only 200,000 remain of the
500,000 who were in the district six
months ago.
The report has caused much bit
ter feeling in the country against the
Greeks and Servians and the people
are being wrought to a pitch where
it will be no easy matter to restrain
them from aggressive acts against the
. Greeks and Servians.
The recent alliance between the
Turks and Bulgars is also expected to
strengthen the Bulgars in their de
termination to recover part of the lost
territory in the war of the Allies.

Secret of Beef Prices.
OMAHA, Neb,, Jan. 16.—If the
consumer who buys beef ribs and
loins is paying as much as he did
this time last year, the retailer is
taking an extra profit of about 25
per cent, according to General Man
ager Howe of Armour k Co. These
commodities, he says, are being sold
'by the packers at 25 per cent under
last year’s prices. Pork is being sold
by (he wholesalers to the retailers
at more than 10 per cent reduction.
These lower prices have been in ef
fect several months, but reports from
several cities indicate no reduction to
the consumer.
