struggle between Greece, Servia and
Bulgaria became imminent when the
"Sultan notified the powers that de

and strike to retake and hold some of
the European territory won by the

Washington, July 3. "Joe" Tumul
ty, secretary to the president, has an
Irish sense of humor, and is rapidly
getting a reputation as one of ; the
best of spoof ers. On one of the presi
dent's recent visits to the capitol, while
he was conferring with senators, "Joe"
stood chatting with a number of cor
respondents outside the door. One of
i em, a rotund person observed that
"Joe" was losing weight. Tumulty
nodded seriously. "Yes," he said, "I'm
dieting, and I'm losing two pounds a
day," "How do. you do it, Slip me the
receipt," pleaded the reoorter. "Well

"In the r.orning I take a little orange

a couple of cups of coffee. For lunch
I take a little soup and maybe some
asparagus or some other vegetable.
That's all. For dinner I take a very
light meal a truffle or so."
The reporter scowled. "But soup's
are fattening," he objected. "Well
try my scheme anyhow," the secretary
urged as he hurried away. The same
afternoon the reporter dropped into
the Willard Hotel. Tumulty was there

steak, two vegetables, and he was just
ordering some deRsert, a pot of cof
fee and some black cigars.
