RUSSIANS cONCENTRATlNG THEIR
FORCES PREPARATORY 10 A
FORCED PASSAGE OF
THE DANUBE.
Difficulties the Russians Encounter
in transportation of
Supplies.
Tnrklsh Troops Purpose a Movement
Against the Herzegovina
Insurgents.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Russians seem
to be in great difficulties about transpOr-
tation. The small Russian country carts
are scarcely suited to military purposes.
All through the winter the work of sup.
plying Russian military trains with cars
and wagons has been going on; still one
of the first things done by the Russians
after entering Roumania wss to apply
to the government of that country for
three thousand carts to meet this de-
msnd. transportation by railway, too.
seems to be giving rather more trouble
than was anticipated. The moving ma
terial is found very insufficient, and
what little can be spared from Russia is
not available on account of the differ.
ence of gauge.
The Turkish troops purpose a move
ment against the Herzegovina insur-
gents. Thousands of Christian refugees
are crossing the frontier to augment the
number already in Dalmatra, and who
already are actually dying Of starvation.
New York, May IA special to the
Times from Guirgevo says: "A great
battle is impending, and already heavy
c%annenading is in progress. For several
days the Russians have been %concentrat.
ing a large force al this point prepare.
tory to q forced passage Of the Danube.
The army is in fine condition and good
spirits. Opposite to US in Rustchuk the
Turks are 10 strong force. That they
will resist our advance is certain, and
tomorrow or day after may witness a
bloody struggle. The infantry force is
present in great numbers, and as | write
are on the march, while great activity
prevails in all departments Of the army.
Severe musketry firing is heard on the
other side Of the Danube. Already the
Turkish monitors are hurrying toward
this spot and more advanced ones are
taking up positions in front Of or near to
the point where the Russians hope to lay
their .pontoon bridge. Tonight the
scene on the Danube is indeed a mag,
nifcent one; shells are bursting in the
dir, distant csmp-Gres lend enchantmeni
to the scene, and signal rockets ascend
and fall ana tell the story of advancing
%fsrces; the c%annonadiug grows heavier
and heavier, and at this rate it will not
take long to destroy Rustchuk. The
place is the weakest in the quadrangle OIL
Turkish fortresses. Further down the
river the sky is Redeemed by the flames
Of the burning Turtukai. The town hal
been fred by the Russian guns in 0lte
nitza. 1t will be comparatively easy fol
the Russians to cross at that point. Thl

that point, has been set on FIRE by thu

LETTER FROM KNOXVILLE.
To the Editor of the Ledger.

To the Editor Of the Ledger;
In your editorial of April 18th, con.
corning East Tennessee University, you
seemed to fear that the school was run
ming on a political basis, You also
quoted some statements from the Knox.
Vile Age, which | am glad to say have
since been completely refuted by the
Chronicle.
The reputation and prosperity Of our
State Agricultural College are dear to
my heart, as they should be to the hearts
Of all patriotic Tennesseeans. / there
fore write this vindication in her behalf.
| have been attending this University
for six years, and deem myself oOmpo-
tent of judging OF the internal workings
Of the institution. During my entire
course here | have never been able to
detect the slightest inclination, either Of
the board, president or faculty, toward
a political management.
| have always found the president
kind and conscientious in the perform
ance Of his duty; having deep c
for the spiritual as we'll as mental i'm
provement Of the youth placed under his
care; ever ready and willing to aid the
INDECENT student, and in every way an
able and efficient officer, OF whom the
trustees are and justly should be proud.
True the SHOWS of many winters have
whiteued his locks, but the energy with
which be performs all the duties pertain
ing to his office certainly gives the Age
no room for asserting that be is feeble.
He is a gentleman Of broad national
views. BE never engages in politics.
The faculty ia composed Of seven
Southern and six Northern men, and is
one of the best south Of Mason and
Dixon line. 1t is second only to that Of
Yale and Harvard.
From statistics it was shown by the
editor OF the Chronicle that this Univer-
sity Is one Of the most prosperous Of
the many agricultural colleges Of the
United States.
Every year of my stay here has wit
messed some great Improvement in build
ings and grounds. The general discip-
line has improved beyond measure.
Six years ago there was no rest for
the weary student on College Hill, but
to-day it is as an oasis in a desert; q
more beautiful, attractive and healthy
location could not be found in East Ten
nessee, the Switzerland of America.
New dormitories have been built, roads
have been graded and mscadamized,
walks made, grass sown aud treea
planted. The school is a success despite
the oxertions of some to the contrary.
l write this that the people Of West
Tennessee may not be lead astrRy by
the malicious growlings and mutterings
Of a nan who must be actuated by some
personal ambition with poor prospect Of
realizing the same. A CADET.

sian military engineers but . very short
time to throw pontoons over any part Of
the Danube they might select il there
were no opposition. Bot the Turks have
a hotilla of monitors in the river to the
number Of sixteen, carrying twsnlyIoar
Krupp guns. They are strong enough
to make bridge building very hazardous
work. These are the new conditions
under which the passage Of the Danube
has to be made. The Russians have al
ready made their way over it many
times. 1t is expected if the crossing
should be seriously resisted by the Turks,
that some Of the newest forces in warfare
will be put to the test. The Russians
have no monitors to oppose to those OF
Turks. = They can only cope with them
by means Of the torpedo, which many
scientists believe is bound to introduce
another and probably the last revolution
in naval warfare. They can be made
with an explosive force which nothing IN
the shape of iron can resist. The
Danube once crossed, the next obstacle
in the path Of the Russians on their
march to Constantineple is the line OF
the Balkans, a mountain chain,
through which there are only q
very few passes practicable for
an army. These passes are of
course, all held by the Turks. The Rus
SLAMS in 1929 crossed them by a strata
gem, and advanced az far as Adrianople.
The Turks on this occasion masked their
forces at Shumla and left the passes
weakly defended. But the Russians al
ways demonstrate heavily On their ex-
IRENE left-Kars, and after that upon
Erzeroum. They laid siege to the for.
mer city during the Crimean war, but
we're repulaed. The place IA held by
nm English officer. Considerable hero
ism was manifested in the defence. Sac
cess in this direction may make it the
real line Of the Russian advance. But
there is nothing new in any Of the move
ments. They have all been undertaken
already many times. Two years seem
to be the limit Of most Of these cam
paigns. Ia 1923 It took the Russians a
year to cross the Danube-another tn
turn the Belksns, The Crimean war
was q two years struggle. Bust then the
Russians we're not only fighting the
Turks, but the English, French and sar-
diniaHs.
