FOR INTERVENTION
Powers Will Make Proposals For Peace, But
Not Ask Armistice.
Over 40,000 Turks Have Been Slain -Fears
of Massacre in Constantinople.
London, Nov. 4. -The Turkish Am.
bassador here bas been directed by
the Ottoman Government to inform
Great Britain of Turkey's willingness
to receive assistance in bringing about
a suspension of hostilities with a
view of arriving at a peace eettle-
rnent.
Tewfik Pasha, immediately on re-
ceiving the communication from Con-
stantinople, went to the Foreign Of-
fice and conferred with Sir Edward
Grey, the Britisa Foreign Minister,
for two hours.
ITALY AND GERMANY CONFER.
Berlin, Nov. 4. -The Italian Foreign
Minister, Marquis Di San Guiliano,
has arrived here, and has been sev-
eral conferences with the Imperial
Chancellor, Dr. Von Bethmann-Holl-
weg. These were primarily intended
to deal with the general relations of
Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy,
but are being devoted almost ex-
clusively to the question of interven-
tion in the Balkan war.
WILL WAIT FOR APPEAL.
Berlin, Nov, 4. -Germany and Aus-
tria will not join in intervention in
the Balkan war without a request to
take such a step coming directly from
one of the belligerents. The German
Foreign Office' has not received any
confirmation of the report, telegraph-
ed from Constantinople by several
newspaper correspondents, that Tur-
key has asked the Powers to mediate.
MUST DEAL WITH BALKANS.
London, Nov. 4.a -The Balkan na-
tions and Grece are persistent in
their determination that Turkey must
arrange directly with them the terms
of peace, without intervention. of the
European Poweri. Thi s attitude is
emphasized in a statement from of-
ficial sources, which says:
"The Turkish proposal of peace is
satisfactory in so far as it shows a
desire to prevent further bloodshed.
"As regards foreign intervention,
however, there seems to be no chance
of the Balkan states listening to any
foreign counsels while treating ifor the
arrangement of conditions of peace.
These must be settled between. the
Balkan states and Turkey direct.
"It may at this stage be declared
that the whole campaign was pre-
arranged, and has so far been carried
out entirely in accordance with the
programme. For a considerable time
an officer of the Greek military staff,
Co]. Dousmanis, was engaged at Sofia
preparing the military ctetails, while
tne political programme was largely,
if not entirely, the work of Premier
Venizelos, of Greece,
The union of the Balkan states at
this moment is more close, hearty and
iutimate than it has ever been, for it has
been welded by blood and common sac-
rifice. Thera is not the least danger
that any disagreement as to the clivi -
sign of isrritories or the positions of the
frontiers will disturb it. It may be as-
stuned that inasmuch as the detnils of
the campaign were arranged with the
greatest care, the same procedure will
be followed both as to the conclusion of
hostilities and subsequent political con-
siderations."
TURKEY'S APPEAL.
constantinople, Nov. 4. -The Turkish
Government, through the foreign Am-
bassadors here, has applied to the pow-
ers for mediation with the object of
bringing the war with the allies to a
close and the openuing of negotiations
for peace with the Balkan Federation.
The Turkish Ambassadors abroad were
olio instructed to place tine request be -
lore the respective Governments to
which they are accredited. Permission
has been granted to each of the great
powers to send one warship through the
Dardanelles to protect foreigners.
The official bulletin follows:
"The fortunes of war are variable,
and it is not always possible to be sue-
cessful on all sides. 1.1 people which
aceepts war must submit \lin l'eSiglla-
)4i tion to all its eonsequences. To over-
look 0114 obligation if; to fail in one's
duty. Consequtntly, while it would he
ainwise to be unnecessarily proud over
vietories, It likewise would be incorrect
e be alarmed at want of success.
"For instance, in the present war
with the four federated States the DIP
snerial troops are defending themselves
with MICOLISB ill the environs of Scutari
And Janina, but the eastern army in the
neighborhood of Viza and Lule Burgas
:felt obli,,,,sted to retire to the lines of de -
'fence at Tchataldja.
"In order to facilitate the successful
tdefenee it has naturally been decided
to exert all efforts to safeguard the in-
terests of the fatherland."
The remnant of the Turkish army is
retreating to Tchataldja, the last line of
fortifications outside the capital. This
was announced in the first bulletin ad-
mitting defeat in the great battle, which
the Government issued to -night.
The defences at Tehataldja have been
repaired and strengthened, and during
the past few days many guns lia,ve been
mounted there. But an effective resist-
ance along the last line of forts is im-
probable.

SAIANIKT IN A PAI\ITC‘
London, Nov. 4,-Sa1oniki is in a state
of panic, aecording to a despatch from
that city to the Post. About 20,000
inhabitants of the surrounding villages
have poured into the town, besides
drecis of fugitives from Cskup, and 7,000
Anatolian soldiers sent from con stnn

.1ix,ovi4ions, and the hungry soldiers have

LrEA CONSTANTIOPLE MASSACRE.
constantinopio, Nov. 4.-conaantino.
ple is a eity of alarms and terrors. The
,ehristians, in fear of their lives, in fear
of the knives of the Kurds, who are
ggerint4 through the shuddering
,striet, are keeping to their homes.
Their only hope here is that betu•ath
' the gums of the foreign fighting ships
that line under Constantinople's min-
arets they may find shelter.
Foreigners and natives alike are
suffering from the tension caused by
the series of military disasters, and,
although the city is in. a state of siege,
crimo 1.,some quarters unchecked.
The people fear first an outbreak of
Moslem fanaticism by the turbulent
elements, the looser clailses, and, second,
it rising ef hordtze of maddened soldiers,
who are being driven. by the .Bulgariane
to make their last stand a. few miles
outside of Constantinople, and then,
perhaps, to fall back on the capital. If
the Turkish soldiers fall back within. the
gates of the city it is feared that they
may turn their guns and bayonets on
those who are awaiting here in trem-
bling the outcome of the conflict.
There is a large and unruly element
of the population which would be glad
for any pretext of massacre and pillage.
The presence of more than 10,000
Moslem refugees near the war zone, who
lave loet all their possessions, adds to
the danger of the situation.
SLAUGHTER WAS FRIGHTFUL.
London, Nov. 4. --The correspondent
of the Daily Chronicle with the Turkish
army wiring from Tchorlu ou Nov. 4,
and sending his deSpatch from that place
by automobile to Constantinople and by
sea to Kustendje, confirms the previous
reports of the defeat of the Turks in the
big battle with the Bulgarians, which,
he, etly6, was "irretrievable, terrible and
appalling." He says it was followed by
a rout "scarcely paralleled in history."
Forty thousands of the Turkish troops,
says the correspondent, have fallen, and
75 per cent. of the artiabry was cap-
tured. Abdullah Pasha hact a narrow
escape from capture. The army found
its way back to Tchorlu by handfuls.
The Bulgarian artillery mowed down
thousands of Turks during the battle.
The Bulgarian artillery was much super-
ior to that of the Turks.
WILL NOT ASK ARMISTICE.
Those powers thus far consulted have
respond.ed to Turkey's appeal, for their
mediation in the war by declaring that
they could make only proposals for
peace, and could not approach. the Bal-
kan nations with a request for an. arm-
istice. Some of the Governments have
pointed out that Turkey's proposal for
a cessation of hostilities, in other words
an armistice, would offend the Balkan
victors. Other Governments take the
position that it would be an infringe-
naent of international law for the mo-
ment. The war must, therefore, con-
tinue, and the Turkish armies, which,
the Porte has at last admitted, have
been beaten, must keep on with their
unequal struggle against the victorious
invaders. it is_hoped and believed still,
that the powers will soon find a formu-
la under which they can offer their
good. offices. The terms of peace them-
selves are a matter entirely for the bel-
ligerents to settle, Bulgaria having
given notice that no interference by
outsiders will be tolerated. In this she
has the whole -hearted support of her
allies, who settled the political, as well
as the military, aspect of the campaign
before the war was undertaken. The
negotiations, which were taking place
among the powers, when Turkey sprang
the surprise of asking for mediation,
were not over successful. The European
Governments had not even agreed upon
the preliminaries for an offer of xnedia-
tion. The suggestion made by France,
to which both Russia, and England sub-
scribed, met with nothing but criticism
in. Austria, and she, of course, is backed
by Germany and Italy, the other two
members of the Triple Alliance.
It is suggested, however, that Aus-
tria misunderstood the proposal in re -
surd. to "disinterestedness," which was
not, as believed in Austria, dirWsted
against the idea of economic arrange-
ments between Austria and the Balkan
league. Still, Austria's • attitude has
caused much- uneasiness, and reports
that she is mobilizing, continue to cir-
culate all over Europe. In the mean-
time the war is going on, and what was
left of the Turkish army after the de-
feat at Lule Burgas, is rushing for sup-
posed safety behind the line of forts at
Tchatalja, with the Bulgarian left try-
ing to eut them off. It is suggested in
some quarters that Nazi= Pasha, the
Turkish commander-in-chief, has receiv-
ecl reinforcement, and is making a met
desperate effort to cover the retreat
of his shattered forces.

Europe Criticises Their
Training of Turkish Soldiers
Berlin, Nov. 3. -The Turkish de-
feats have caused deep-felt disap-
pointment in German military circles,
which are smarting silently from the
stings of the English and French ridi-
cule of the training of the Turks by
German officers. The criticisms of
the German military school, as ex-
emplified by the Turkish defeats,
however, have not surprised the high
military men. One of the highest gen-
erale in the German army, in a lecture
to the general staff before the out-
brealt of the present , war, painted a
Ivery pessimistic picture of the con-
ditions in the Turkish army„ which,
'he declared, as compared with the
conditions and the spirit of the mili-
tary forces of the Balkan States, held
no prospect of a Turkish victory. The
leading German military men deny
that the war up to the present has
demonstrated the superiority of one
school, for while the Bulgars hex°
some officers of Russian. training and
Greece has sortie of French training,
many of the officers In both armies
have been trained in Germany, and
Bulgaria adopted a very rapid of-
fensive, which is a fundamental prin-
ciple of the German school. The mili-
tarists attribute the results of the
campaign to the unpreparedness of
the Turks, their lack of enthusiasm
organization and morale, which are
the result of the political conditions
which have existed in Turkey during
the last few years.
FRANK RYAN'S TRIP
Prosecution Claims It Was
About Explosions,
• •
Indianapolis, Nov. 4. -Frank M.
Ryan's trip about the country, which
the Government charges were made
partly in connection with explosives,
while he was president of the Interna-
tional Association of Bridge and Struc-
tural Ironworkers, were traced in let-
ters produced at the "dynamite con-
spiracy' trial to -day. One letter, writ-
ten by John J. McNamara, the alleged
dynamiter, to Ryan, referred to an ad-
vertisement offered for publication in
the Ironworkers' Union Magazine. This
advertisement announced a reward for
information about the finding of dyna-
mite on a job in Cleveland, Ohio, in Feb-
ruary, 1908. McNamara wrote to Ryan
that "to run the advertisement would
make it appear as if the union was
trying to shield somebody." Ryan, re-
plying from Baltimore, advised Mc-
Namara to publish the offer of a re-
ward. A contracting firm in Milkau-
kee, Wis., offered the reward, after
the union had called a strike against
it. Work of the firm in various cities
later was blown up.
NEW YORK MYSTERY
Bruised Woman Died in
Flarlem Apartment House.
New York, Nov. 4.-A woman's body,
nude, with bruises on , the hips, was
found in a. half sitting position in a
bath tub in a Harlem apartment house
last night. It was identified as that of
Miss Anna M. Vananken, 32 years old,
stenographer. In a pocketbook, which
had evidently belonged to the woman,
were letters written by relatives living
in Schenectady, dated from 1910 up to
a month ago.
When the body was found the bath-
room was filled with gas fumes. The
coroner said he was not satisfied that
the woman met death by asphyxiation,
however.
An aged man'who was supposed by
neighbors to be Miss Vanaukens father,
was missing from the apartment.

TO BREAK WILL
Presbyterian Church Inter-
ested in London Contest.
London, Ont., Nov. 3.-A new feature
intered into the suit to break the will
ell the late Thomas Kent, founder of the
London Loan Company, when Hamilton
Cassels, oil Toronto, appeared before the
High Court presided over by Mr. Justice
It. M. Meredith Saturday, to endeavor to
have a residuary bequest of MAN) given
to the Board of Missions of the Pres-
byterian Church in Canada rather than
to new St. Runes' Church, London. It is
claimed by the Board of Missions that
Mr. 'Kent intended to have the moneys
expended for home and foreign mission-
ary work by the church as a whole and
not by London congregation particular-
ly, although the wording of the bequest
does not apparently convey that meaning.
Mrs. Sarah Anne Strathy, 02 Toronto,
a sister of Mr. Kent, and 21 others of
his next kin are moving to have this be-
quest declared an intstacy on tho ground
that the money is being tied up in a man-
ner contrary to the law relating to perpet-
uities.
Another bequest in dispute is made,
according* to the wording of the will, to
the Young Women's Union of London.
No such society existed at the time the
will was drawn, but an organisation bear
Jim the name has been formed since Mr.
Kent's death. The Young Women's
Christian Association will endeavor to
show that the money was intended for
them, and that a mistake was made in
the use of the name. A demon lawyers
represented various parties to the. action,
the argument of which will be completed
here on Nov. 23.

working. C. P. R. officials say that the
positions will all be filled by Tumitlay
night, as far as North Bay is concerned.
NONE OUT AT LONDON.
London, Ont., Nov. 4. --As the C. P. R.

course of a statement issued this morn-
ing. Mr, Hodge 131WIC it plain that he
was only speaking of the strike as it
affected his division, which stretched

a gap in his teeth, the Crown Prince
Frederick Wilhelm is slowly recovering
from the closest call in his life. That

As is usual when any accident hap-
pens to any member of royalty, it is
difficult to obtain details, the official
statement always minimizing the acci-
dent. It is believed, however, that the
Crown Peince's horse, while goinn•6at a
strong pace, landed on his forefei,t in a
half -bidden ditch. The Prince's clothing
was either caught in the saddle or his
left foot remained in the stirrup. This
cheeked the flight of the horse, but it
resulted in the Prince's face and head
striking the ground very heavily.
The Crown Prince has been repeated-
ly admonished by the Kaiser against

of taking chances of getting hint, and
his fathermay now forbid the Prince

THE MINT° SAFE
Fears For the Government
Steamer Are Allayed.
Halifax, N.S., Nov. 3. -The Govern-
ment steamer Minto, which spent the
summer surveying at Fort Churchill
and Port Nelson in connection with
terminals for the Hudson Bay Rail-
way, was due to arrive here at the
end of October, but nothing has been
heard of her recently and there has
been. some uneasiness. This anxiety
was relieved somewhat to -day when a
despatch was received by C. H. Har-
vey, agent of the Marine Department,
from the Deputy Minister of Naval
Service, that the Minto has arrived
at Wolstenholm on October 4, and
was returning to Hudson Bay. Cape
Wolstenholm is at the northeast cor-
ner of Hudson Bay, at the western
end of Hudson Strait.
It is supposed Unit after starting the

WANT NEW RULES
Breeders Wtsh Changes in
Impottation Laws.
Ottawa deepatch: A delegation con-
sisting of Mesers. Miller, Garneau, Bre-
thour, Gardhouee and -Smith, comprising
the National Live Stock Record Commit-
tee, waited upon non. Mr. Burrell, Min-
ister of Agriculture, to recommend cer-
tain changes in the Canadian customs
regulations by which anituals are admit-
ted free of duty.
The present regulations, the delega-
tion pointed out, allowed a. person
"domiciled in Canada or a Britieh sub-
ject" the duty-free privilege. As a C(.411 -
sequence, it was contended, many United
States firms interested only in the traf-
ficking of stock "domiciled" an agent in
Canada, who was able to bring in Jive
etock, which in some cases were not
considered to be the best breed for the
improvement of the stock. The new
regulation proposed would accord the
duty-free privilege only to a "Britieh
subject resident in Canada."

BAD LITERATURE
Suffragette Movement Using
Harmful Methods.
Advocates Laying 'Them-
selves Open to Prosecution.
London, Nor. 4. -For some months
a certain phase of the suffrage move-
ment has received scant attention
from the popular press owing to th
delicacy of the question involved. I
first gained inspiration from the die
tum of the scientific critics of th
cause, who said that its realizatio
would break the truce of the sexes
and reduce the race to a state o
barbarism,
It is now apparent, however, tha
the subject will receive more atten
tion from the daily press, and eve
from the pulpit, for its advocate
have become so bold that they ar
laying themselves open to prosecutio
as flagrant teachers of immorality
Sufficient here to quote the titles o
some of the articles that have rec-
ently appeared in either the suf
fragette press or in pamphlets issue
under their auspices.
The monthly organ of the Church
League of Woraan's Suffrage, for ex
ample, has published an article by
Miss Maude Royden entitled "Free-
dom of the Vote," in which the writer
argues in favor of certain practices
for women in. order to free themselves
from man's tyranny, which are the
subject of criminal prosecution in
every civilized. country in the world.
Other titles of similar articles and
pamphlets read: "Comrade Love,"
"Problems of Celibacy," `Sex Equali-
ty," and "The Right to Love."
In calling the attention of the pub-
lic to this pernicious phase of the
literature of the suffrage movement,
G. M. Godden writes:
"An examination. of this literature
proves that the so-called suffrage
movement is deeply involved in. an
unnatural and indecent agitation that
Is quite distinct from purely political
alms. The diffusion. of such litera-
ture largely accounts, I submit, for
the epidemic of hysteria with attend-
ing symptoms, the loss of normal
sense of decency and normal use of
reasoning powers that is now pre-
valent among certain sections of Eng-
lish women.. That the speeches or
the conversation of unfortunate wo-
men are influenced by this literature
is manifest in its effect in. the words
and irrational, criminal conduct of
the women most aeeply imbued with
these doctrines and who exhibit the
inevitable result in their actions.
"The doctrine, in fact, is, as shown.
in not a few suffragist speeches, the
superiority of woman. and the inferi-
ority, even vileness, of man, carried
to the inevitable logical conclusion of
sex war. The position taken is that
we need a new ethic of the sexes.
The whole horizon is now bounded
by masculine limitation and must be
remade by woman. Nor must a
mere political measure of enfran-
chisement of woman be passed; the
so-called suffrage movement affects
the whole horizon of religion, ethic,s,
and sociology. In sociology and ethics
the teaching is that "man. made the
social order that has its foundations
in ruined souls and bodies."
"Monogamous marriage is pronounc-
ed monotonous. Morals are described
as based. as much up2u. convention as
principle, and the sex war is pro-
claimed as a necessary and desirable
stage to sex peace, which apparently
is synonymous la this teaching with
free love."
$300,000 FIRE BOB'S SPEECH
Accidents Rendered Mont-

Montreal, Nov. 3. -Fire to -night de-
stroyed the premises of the Consumers
Cordage Company ia St. Patrick street,
Point St. Charles, eausing damage rough-
ly estimated at $300,000. :For three
hours the full fighting strength of the
city's fire department battled with a
weak water supply to MVO neighboring
strueturee.
e Owing to tho low preasure, due to
t recent accidents to the Rumps at the
. waterworks, it was iinposSible to throw
a stream of water any distance and. the
e fire spread with startling rapidity. Only
n when pumping engines were hauled to
, the bank of the canal and the water
e pumped directly from there inetead of
from the hydrants were the firemen
t able to inv.ke any headway. Before long
. the entire building of the Cordage Com.
n pany was ill flames, except a saaall sec-
• tion which included the offices, and bo-
o fore the fire could be subdued the.entire
n building with that exception was de-
, stroyed. The lire also spread to the
f premises of the Cane.dian Bag Company,
I
a three storey building. The firemen
- were early driven from the building ow -
d ing to lack of water, the pressure being
insufficient to throw a stream higher
than the first storey. The firemen then
- secured better pressure by pumping di-
rect from the canal, and were able to
prevent the flames from spreading across
St. Patrick street to the numerous fac-
tories there.

GOT HEAVY SHOCK
Windsorite Recovers After
. 2,400 -volt Contact.
Windsor, Nov. 3. -While at work on
top of a ladder in the electrical
transmission station at the mouth of the
new Michigan Central tunnel here a few
days ago, Murray McQueen, 29, one of
the inspectors, accidentally touched a
high-tension circuit, and a current of
a,400 volts, passed down his right arm,
emerging much as a lighting bolt might
do, just below the right knee. The in.
stant he made the contact McQueen
lost consciousness and fell from the lad-
der to the concrete floor, 16 feet. The
fall undoubtedly saved his life by break-
ing the circuit. The young man was at-
tended. by Dr. James Gow, who believes
he will recover,
A hole as large as a 25 -cent piece
was left in the flesh of the leg at the
point where the current emerged. Mc-
Queen is a son of Douglas -McQueen,

serious, on account of tbe large exodus
