NEAR MOUNT OLYMPUS

Constantinople, April 19.-Following
the news of the incursion by Greeks on
Turkish territory, the council Of minis
ters at the palace today declared that
was has broken out and have ordered
Edhem Pasha, Turkish military COM
mander-in-chief, to take the offensive
Headquarters of the Greek Army in
Thessaly, Larissa, April 19.-Details of
the fighting between the Greeks and
Turks at Nezeros. just within the Greek
frontier life, in Thessaly and due south
of Mount Olympus have been received
here. The fighting originated, accord
ing to the Greek reports, in an attempt
upon the part of the Turkish forces to
occupy an abandoned post of the
Greeks. The movement was opposed
Turks opened fire, and a sharp engage
ment, lasting four hours, ensued. The
Greeks eventually retreated. Their
losses are not known. This engage
ment occurred yesterday.
At this morning heavy firing be-
tween the Turks and Greeks near Neze-
ros was resumed. The Greeks in the
meanwhile had been reinforced with ar
tillery, which they brought into play
up on the Turkish post at Kolroni The
latter was eventually destroyed with
dynamite.
1t is reported as this dispatch is sent
that the Greeks have occupied three
Turkish stations, and that the Turks
are retreating.
Greek cOmmander-in-chief, and Gen.
Maeris were up all night dispatching
orders to the front.
It is understood that the forces en-
gagged belonged to the regular armies of
the two countries, although this is not
positively brought out.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press yesterday was enabled to ride up
to Malouna Pass and inspected the
Cup Valley, northeast of which is
ElassOna, where the Turkish head
quarters is situated. To all appear
ances the valley is almost denuded of
troops. The correspondent saw only
three squadrOns of cavalry, three bat
teries of field artillery and a few bat
talions of infantry. There was no sem
blance of a big camp, where as three
weeks ago, according to observation on
the frontier and the reports of CORES
pondents with the Turkish army there
were some $4,000 troops in position at
Elassona.
The indications are that either the
Turkish troops have been Withdrawn
behind the ridges surrounding Elias
soma, for cOncealment, or they have
been moved westward to some
other point on the frontier in imitation
part of the Greek army.
No further news has been received
from Macedonia, regarding the Greek
irregulars. The weather is still bitterly
cold in the mountains.

of another child for food for the in
FAINT Dr. Nelson learned of their pre-
dicament and informed Mr.. Hutchins.
The father says he was given a
steamboat ticket from New York city
to Albany, when his family had been
assisted by different cities, though
many times, he said, help was unob-
tainable and. pushing the baby car
riage, the man says he had walked
fully $50 miles. In Chicago the wife
was offered a ticket to the coast, but
refused to leave her husband to beat
his way The family has relatives in
Portland who will help them if their
home can be reached. If Mr.. Hutchins

Review of the Month Read at the
Meeting.

At the monthly meeting of the HUI
name society yesterday. Alice Day,
the newly-elected secretary, read the
report of the agent. This indicated an
increasing activity on the part of the
members and agent. Fifty-three cases
of cruelty had been reported to the
office during the past month. A few
of them were of a trivial nature, but u
large proportion needed prompt atten-
ton. Only one case was prosecuted
in the courts, and a conviction was Sc
cured.
