MILOUNA PASS, Headquarters of the

spondent of the Associated Press as this
dispatch is sent is at high point of the
Milouna pass with the Turkish general
staff, watching the advance of the Turkish
troops who are being rapidly pushed
through the pass to the plains in front of
Tyrnavo. Throughout yesterday afternoon
an artillery duel between the Turks and
the Greeks proceeded at a distance of two
miles Meanwhile Greek reinforcements
had been pouring over the bridge beyond
the town to this side Of the River Xerias.
The Turks at that time had carried sew

Tyrnavo but the town and a small hill on
this side were still in the hands of the

Yesterdays advance of the Turkish troops
across the plain was splendid spectacle.
AT our feet was the road into Greece which
winds away from the mountains and from
the mountains long lines of troops
were descending like great serpents. The
Turkish soldiers were all singing patriotic
songs and shouting cries.
During the night the Greeks strongly
fortified the positions they occupied on top
of the kritiri hill ~. and the battle began
fighting from the first. The Greeks endeay-
ored to take by storm the Turkish position
on the hill opposite the entrance of the
ravine, but were repulsed on each occasion
with tremendous loss The engagement is
still proceeding as this dispatch is sent.

of mountains to the letter A. The Greeks
hold the extreme point inside. While the
Turks on the two lines dangerously menace
the Greek position, which will become un-
tenable as soon as the Turks advance.
Nechat Pasha still withholds the order 10

troops are begging his permission TO do so.
Everywhere among the Turkish troops
there is the same enthusiasm. Yesterday
two Albanian regiments having driven the
Greeks from their position, pursued them

IZZET BEY.s DISGRACE.
Why the Sultan's Adviser Was Dis
misned-BnIgnr ria's Demands.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 21.-(Delayed
in transmisson)-The Turkish squadron
still remains in the Dardanelles. There is
much comment here on the disgrace of
Izzet Bey, until recently the favorite adj
wiser of the Sultan. Izzet is reported to-
have been arrested. One cause of his dis
grace, according to report, is that he with
held from the Sultan two of Edhem Pasha's
dispatches informing his Majesty that the
position of the Turkish army in Macedonia
was untenabe owing TO the incursions of
the Greek irregulars. and asking for au-
thority to advance. Izzet's object, it APP
pears, was TO gain time with the view OF
bringing about a pacific settlement of the
Cretan question with Greece direct. An
other account has it that the Turkish min

has advised the Turkish government not to
expel the Greeks from Turkish territory
given them to leave. when diplomatic rela-
tions between Turkey and Greece were
severed on last Saturday. Many Greeks,
however. are already leaving.
There is much concern among the Turk
fsh government officials on account of Bull
garia's persistent claims for berats for five
additional Bulgarian bishops in Macedonia
and for the appointment of Bulgarian COM
mercial agents at Uskub and Monastir The
Bulgarian representative here, De Markoff,
had audience with the Sultan on the
subject, and informed his Majesty that un-
less the berats were conceded by Friday
next Bulgaria would begin to mobilize her
army on Saturday. The Sultan promised TO
grant the berats, but asked Bulgaria to be
patient until the war with Greece is over.
His Majesty also granted Bulgaria's re-
quest for permission to appoint commercial
agents at Uskub and Monastir. In spite of
this the Bulgarian representative yesterday
presented an utimatum at the YilkiZ Kiosk,
and subsequently the Russian embassy in
formed the Bulgarian representative that
the moment was inopportune for insisting
on the Sultan granting the berats adding
that Russia would not support the demand
if the Bulgarian army was mobilized and
that the responsibility for the consequences
would fall exclusively on Bulgaria

Greece to leave Ottoman waters within

Depth to Plant Potatoes.

The wet weather this summer is
causing good many fields of potatoes
to rot. In all such cases the rot is
most prevalent on potatoes planted
shallow, and which. therefore, pro-
duce their tubers near the surface of
the ground. The reason appears to
be that the fungus germs are very
easily washed from the leaves to the
tubers when they are near the surface,
while if set deeper the germs lose
their effect before the tubers are
reached. As the shallow planted po-
tatoes sunburn badly in hot, dry wealth
er, that is another reason why pota-
toes should be planted deeply. The
only objection to deep planting is for
the very earliest, when the soil is cold
and wet But even then the deep
planted potatoes will not rot in the
ground if planted whole, or if the cut
pieces are well dried before being put
in the soil. 1t is more labor to make
a deep furrow for potatoes, especially
if they are planted on a sod. But if
the iointer plow is used, and four or
five inches of loose soil is turned up,
the furrow into which the potatoes are
to be dropped may easily be made that
depth. 1t does no harm to ridge over
the pototoes when covering them, pro-
vided the ridge is worked to level be-
fore the potatoes come up.
