Consul General Dickinson Hears That
She is Stiii Well.


Consul General Dickinson, from Sofia re-
ports to the State Department by cable
the receipt by him of another letter from
Miss Stone, as already noted in the press
dispatches of last night. He quotes Miss
Stone as saying:
I'VE are still well, in spite Of all our
hardships.''
There are other matters treated in the
letter which 1t is not deemed wise to PUB
lish. Mr. Dickinson complains constantly
of attempts to interfere with the Ene OF
communication he is seeking to establish
with the brigands Although no explana-
tion is afforded by him as to the reasons
for this interference, it is believed here
that the Bulgarian authorities seeking
to pave the way for a denial of all respon-
sibility for an indemnity, by exhibiting
great activity in the pursuit of any per-
sons who Inight be supposed to te iple to
inform them of the whereabouts of Miss
Stone.
Notwithstanding the difficulties which
are daily encountered by the State De-
partment in its efforts to reach Miss Stone,
the belief is strong among the officials that
in the near future they will succeed in
securing her release. 1t is true, as reported
from ConStantinople that the PRINCIPAL is

Volunteer Recruiting Has Proved In
adeauafe for the War

LONDON, November 9.-During the
lengthy cabinet conferences this week
representative of the Associated Press
learns the question of reinforcing the old
ballot laws came up for discussion. Many
of the cabinet ministers were strongly in
favor of putting in practice this form of
conscription, for which certain obsolete
laws already provide. Thus. new legisla-
tion would be obviated. The war secretary,
Mr.. Brodrick. has already caused guarded
feelers on this matter to be circulated In
the press, for it appears to be almost i'm
possible to keep the home forces up to ade-
quate strength and supply the necessary
reinforcements for South Africa on the
volunteer system of enlistment alone
Such a strenuous measure, however,
doubtless will cause storm Of disapprovai
In Great Britain, and 1t will not be enacted
unless the war situation becomes graver,
Whav Changes have come over the state Of
the country in two fears can be Judged
from the fact that the war Office has close
ly examined the old ballot laws anu has
prepared an elaborate plan by which they
can be sprung upon the public at q mo-
ment's notice.

for the successful operations of armies in
the field, entailed a vast amount of labor
in promptly and successfully providing the
means fo- transporting these large bodies
of troops.
THAT there might be no delay in meeting
the needs of the military service at all
points the utmost vigilance care and fore
sight has been required on the part of the
officers and men intrusted with the conduct
of the army transport service. 1t is grati-
flying to report that no disaster has oc-
Cured to mar the successful conduct OF
the service. and not a human life has been
lost through any defect in the provisions
