Athens, April 19.-Greece formally
declared war on Turkey this morning
in response to Turkeys practical dec
laraton of war yesterday. The news
was hailed throughout Greece with
great satisfaction by the populace,
though the conservative Greeks de.
plore the step, as it is believed the
plucky little power will not be able to
withstand the terrific onslaught of her
big neighbor.
Firing commenced this morning be-
tween the Greeks and Turks at several
points along the frontiers. Colonel
Manos, at the head of 2, 500 troops, has
crossed the river Arakphios on the
frontier of Epirus, and is now enter

having driven back the Turkish ad-
vance posts,
The bOmbardment of Pravlsa was re-

A dispatch from The Greek headquar-
ters at Larissa this afternoon says
that three mportant positions were
occupied near Menixa today by the
Greek troops. Prince Nicholas of
Greece, the third son of King George,
has been ordered to the front in COM
mand of battery of artillery. Later
in The day confirmation was received
of the report that large force of
Greeks had crossed the river Arak-
phios.
A body of 700 Greek insurgents has
landed at Syrako, Epirus, and is now
marching on Filltpiada. Numerous
other bands of Greek insurgents have
entered Epirus.
GREEKS TAKE A FORT.
Rome, April ia dispatch to Mes
sagero from Arta says that the remain
ing Turkish fort at ProvOso has been
destroyed by the fire of the Greek war
ships and the position of the Turks is
untenable. Two thousand Greeks,
the dispatch adds, have been landed
for the purpose of occupying Provoso.
WERE THEY JAGGED?
Headquarters of the Turkish Army
in Macedonia, Elassona, April 49,
The Turkish forces, as this dispatch is
being forwarded, are holding their
position in Molouna pass. During the
severe fighting which began yester-
day evening the Greeks and Turks
alike fought and behaved in the most
admirable manner.
All the Turkish losses thus far are
reported to be lIght-30 killed and 30
wounded. The correspondent of the
Associated Press counted 100 Greek
c)rpses on the hill opposite the Turk
ish position. The Turks declare that
the Greeks were drunk during the
fighting today, being constantly sup
piled with liquor. Kenan Bey has re-
turned from Karya, where fighting
continued when he left there. The
Turkish loss at that place was 200.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Sept. 1O.-There is
little doubt now that the attempt to
force the resignation of DR.. Whitsitt,
president of the Southern Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary in this city and the
boycotting Of that institution will re-
suit in a division of the Southern
church into two organizations. The

suit almost inevitab BILE.
