Edunrdo Helsey, the correspondent of tho Journal, at Snlonlca, telegraphs to his pnper as follows: "There are two routes possible for a Bulgarian-German advance asalnst the Allies at Snlonlca. The most probable development is thnt they will come by the way of Dolrnl nnd Nverokop Hill, but there Is another way, which would lend them to tho Allies' Hnnk and possi bly to the Allies" rear. Even 15,000 or 20,000 men, sweeping rapidly from Stodcna Into the Vardar plain, would endanger our position, which Is not too strong. "Vardar plain stretches direct from Strodena to Snlonlca and Is traversed by excellent roads, along which there Is nothing to nrrest tho progress of the In vaders except artillery nnd the bayonets of the Anglo-French soldiers. Thero are no natural barriers. "If the Germans and Bulgarians use this route they would be able to reach Stodcna from Monnstlr within n week in spite of the mountains. They would then bo within less than threo days' march of the main lines of the Allied forces. Fortunately for us the enemy forces at Monnstlr now number only 60,000."

Mrs. Rose May Foutts, ofllclal house keeper of the Sundays, who arrived here on Monday night, has been busy ever slnco arranging tho house for tho coming residents. Mr, Sunday nnd his family will partake of dinner, at 5 o'clock, nnd tho meal will be on regular time, so Mrs. Foutts said today The temporary home of the Sundays was two years ago the property of Qcorgo W. Bat low, tho proprietor of Barlow's Hotel, located two blocks south of the evangelist's residence nnd opposite tho station where Mr. Sunday will nllght on Snturday. While tho dealer In Intox icants cannot see anything wrong nbout the evangelist occupying tho bul'dlng, there are mnnv smites to tm noted when the matter Is broached among groups of persons discussing tho Sunday campaign. Tho houso Is known ns the "Dolton Mnnslon," duo to tho fact that for many years It was tho property of William Uolton, now deceased, nnd who for half a century was the promoter of one of the largest grocery Jobbing houses In this section of tho country. Tho structure recently wns occupied ty the Model Cleaning nnd Dyeing Company, while ad joining buildings on the grounds wcro de voted to the storing of nutomobltes. Sunday's tabcrnaclo Is now almost com plete. It Is located on an extensive plot of ground known ns the Whlttiiker Es tate, and extends from Chambers street along Greenwood avenue to the homo of O. O. Howcn, head of tho John L. Mott Iron Company, which Is known through out the world by reason of tho Pujo Con gressional Investigation, In Washington, about four years ago, of tho "bathtub trust," Tho buildings will hnvo a seating capacity of about 13,000 persons. It will bo heated by IS mammoth stoves, while tho seats will bo of tho bench va riety, with fairly high backs. Tho speak er's platform Is high and Btrong. Back of It will be seats for tho three choirs of 1200 voices each. Tho sawdust "trails," already laid, add a plcturesu.no tinge to tho roomy build ing. They nro made of shavings. The tnbcrnaclo Is located In what la known as tho Wilbur section of Trenton, not far from the great wlro plants of tho John A. RoebUng Company. A fund of $50,000 hn been subscribed ns n. guarantee of tho expenses. Sunday has nlwnys obtained tho exDense fund thrnmrl, early collections. Therefore : no expect to pay tho guarantees. Some nlnrm Is being felt on tho part of proprietors of cafes where girls mingle with men, as well ns theatro owners, owing to tho near arrival of the evan gelist. It Is known that Investigators for tho Campaign Commltteo hnvo been scouting throughout the city In. quest of Information, and thnt a hotel In which a cabaret show Is conducted nightly was visited by these agents.
