4Iy to Sue for Peace—Constantinople Is at the
Mercy of the Allies. .
A despatch from Sofia says: A
exv, more details have reached here
`of the four days' battle between
Adrianople and Constantinople,
which resulted in the utter rout by
General Savoff,Bulgarian Com-
mander -in -Chief, of the Turkish
army of 250.000 men, under Nazim
Pasha, the War Minister. The bat-
tle extended along the line from
Lule Burgas.eastward to Serai, The
Turkish front was over 31 miles
long. The Turkish forces greatly
outnumbered the Bulgarians, the
latter not exceeding 150,000, many
having been left investing Adrian-
ople.
The eastern wing of the Turkish
army, at Viza, was able to main-
tain its ground at first against the
Bulgarian troops, but could gain
no success, and, after three days'
fighting, fled. The Bulgarian army
vigorously pursued the Turks, who
retreated in disorder and panic on
Serai and Tcharin. On Thursday
they were driven from this stand.
Many guns and large quantities of
ammunition have been captured.
,Aivali, near Lule Burgas, and
Maras have been burned. All the
Christian inhabitants, according to
the Bulgarians, were massacred.
Turkey to Sue for Peace.
A despatch from Constantinople
says : The Cabinet is in session.
It is believed to be discussing the
question of suing the Balkan States
for peace. It is known that grave
news has been .received from the
front, but its exact nature has not
been divulged.
On to the Capital.,4''.
A despatch from London says:
The Vienna correspondent of the
;Daily Chronicle sends the follow-
ing:—
"The Servian Foreign Minister
and the Greek Premier, who
brought about the Balkan alliance,
started for Paris on Friday, it is
supposed to negotiate with Premier
Poincare. It is ander ;tool that
the Bulgarian armt rn•tell ,xcarzlr; alp
iitz a Bal an' allied ill
flab .acceptan armistice, but are
willing to negotiate peace direct
with Turkey."
Servians Pusii Forward.
A despatch froni London says:
The Servian troops are extending
the area of territory conquered by
them in Macedonia. It was re-
ported on Thursday that they have
crossed the mountains and taken
the Town of Prisrend, where they
captured a considerable quantity of
Turkish war material. They are
said also to have taken. Diakovo,
still farther to the west.
.a.
500 Prisoners and 7 Guns.
A despatch from London says:
Describing the defeat of the Turks
at Kailar, Macedonia, a despatch to
the Chronicle says they left 2,000
dead, while 500 were taken prison-
ers. Seven guns fell into the hands
of the Greeks. The main body of
the Greek army is now marching in
force to attack Salonica.
Roasted on Gridiron.
A despatch from London says:
The Servian Legation has received
a despatch from Belgrade giving
accounts by returned Servian oifi-
ocrs of atrocities committed by the
Turkish troops before abandoning
the ,country conquered by the Ser-
vians.
"Wherever the Turks passed,"
says the despateh, "the Servian
army found only land strewn with
bodies of .men, women and children,
mutilated in the most barbarous
fashion. Bodies of men were also
found bound to trees. They had
been burned alive by means of fires
kindled under their feet. One body
bore indications of having been
roasted on a gridiron."
was attempted en the Turkish right
wing. General Torgut, of Albanian
fame, landed at Midia with 20,000
men and advanced toward Viza,
where he encountered the Bulgar-
ian troops, under General Kutin-
cheff, The turks were completely
defeated, but whether they succeed-
ed in regaining their ships or re-
treated eastward is net stated.
Enormous Sacrifices.
A despatch from Sofia says:
Whether the European concert
holds together or breaks up there is
reason to believe that the allied
States will hold firmly to their pro-
gramme. They already have under-
gone enormous sacrifices, and are
prepared to face every eventuality.
Only those who have been brought
into close contact with the terrible
realities of this war can estimate
the extent of those sacrifices. In
Sofia the wounded are arriving lit-
erally in thousands. All the larger
public and many private buildings
have been transformed into hospi-
tals. Even at that some have to be
laid on the bare floors. The wound-
ed from the last great battle have
yet to arrive. How arrangements
can be made to accommodate them
it is hard to say.
Saloniea In a Panic.
A 'despatch from Salonica, to the
London Morning Post says the town
is in a panic. Twenty thousand re-
fugees from neighboring villages
have arrived, in. addition to the
fugitives from Uskub, and 7,000 A-
natolian soldiers. Consequently
there is a great scarcity of food.
English and French warships have
arrived at Salonica.
Turks Still Retreating.
A despatch sent by Lieut. Wag-
ner to the Reichspost of Vienna
from the Bulgarian headquarters on
Nov. -2 shows that the Turkish
troops; had been reinforced: and
were fighting bravely between. Serai
and Istrandja. He .says the Otto-
eseteeereal
• ne• . n^
one`,ls trying to reach Tchataldja,
and the, northern one is aiming at
the •line from Serai to Istrandji.
They have rallied partly since their
defeat, and have been joined by two
new divisions, but it is doubtful if
any considerable part of them will
be able to reach Tchataldja.
The Bulgarians are trying to di-
vert the Turkish line of retreat by
throwing out advance posts through
Serai, Istrandja, and Karajakoui.
During the fighting along the Lule
Burgas line the railroad connection
with Tchataldja stopped and inter-
fered with the service to several
places. •
Lieutenant Wagner reiterates the
stories of the atrocities perpetrated
by the retreating Turks. He des-.
oribes the Anatolian Redifs as being
particularly cruel, and says they
acted more like wild beasts than
human beings. Dozens of dead wo-
men were found with their bodies
slashed.
Turkey Admits Defeat.
A despatch from Constantinople
on Sunday says The Porte has
applied to the powers for mediation
with a view to the cessation of hos-
tilities and for the negotiation of
peace. Application has been made
to the Embassies here and by circu-
lar to the Ottoman representatives
in the European capitals.
The Turkish army is retreating to
the last line of fortifications outside
the capital. This was announced
in the first bulletin :admitting de-
feat in the great battle, which the
Government issued on Sunday
night.

TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY.
December 1st Is the Day Set Apart
for the Purpose in Ontario.
Following the worthy example set
in the United States, where Sun-
day, October 27th, was observed as
Tuberculosis Day in over 50,000
churches,' it is proposed that Sun-
day, December 1st, shall be devot-
ed to a similar purpose throughout
Ontario. The Inter -Denomination-
al -Ministerial Association of Toron-
to, representing all the Protestant
churches of the city, have already
agreed to the proposal, and appeals
are now being made to the prelates
of the Boman Catholic and Angli-
can bodies, and to the leading cler-
gymen of the other churches, to
have that day generally observed
throughout the province. It is sug-
gested that in the sermons of the
day, the clergy should review the
work already done in fighting the
white plague, outline the possibli.

Replies already received indicate
that the churches throughout On-
tario will fall into line with the
Toronto denominations. Tubercu-
losis Sunday in the United. States
was endorsed by President Taft,
ex -President Roosevelt, and scores
of leading statesmen and church-
men, and it is expected that the
public men of Canada will not be
behindhand in approving of the
movement here.
