THE BALKAN TROUBLE.
Judge Batcheller Regards Case of
BuIgarians as Hopeless.

Judge George s. Batcheller, who cca-
tinues to call Saratoga home" despite
fifteen years of official residence in the
orient, halted long enough at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, in New York, to prepare
for his passage on the Deutschland.
outbound to his present post of duty
at Alexandria, Egypt, says the New
York Tribune. He was advanced by
President Roosevelt in 1902 to his
present place as member of the SUI
preme court of appeals of the interna-
tional tribunal. Speaking of the dis
orders that now so deeply involve Bull
garia, he said: "Of course, sympathize
with the Bulgarians. Theirs is the
same struggle that the Cubans waged
for liberty, but it is hopeless strug-
gle. The Bulgarians lack numerical
strength. they lack organization and
lack both the money and munitions Of
war necessary to cope with Turkey
which has large army, well organ
lied by the Germans. The Buk&ar1ans
can only carry on a guerrilla warfare
and can make a lot of trouble for the
Turks while also making much for
themselves. The conflict will soon burn
itself out, for the reason that it is not
to the interest of the powers to con-
tribute to the disintegration of the
Turkish empire. 1t is especially the
interest of England and Austria to
have Turkey stand as a barrier to
Russian expansion toward the Mediter-
ranean.
"Much is said of the cruelties that
are practiced and in this connection 1t
should be understood that the eastern
peoples have not been trained in the
amenities of modern warfare. The
Bulgarians. described in general terms,
are Greek Christians. They are not
pagans, but Unitarians. They believe
in one God and regard Christ as a Oil
vine personage-a teacher and a, proph-
ct. They are held together by the ties
OF mutual hardships experienced in
their daily lives and in their religious
sympathies. The Turks are bound to-
gether by interest and religion. No
such thing as patriotism exists among
Turks. 1t is my observation, however
that Mahommedans are more tolerant
than Christians under similar condi-
tons of provocation. l consider that
the Beirut matter was purely local
affair, in which we are not called upon
to interfere any more than might some
foreign power if riot developed in
one Of our city streets. The general
feeling and inclination of western
Christian peoples that they should in
terfere in Mahommedan affairs is. in
my Judgment. unjustiiable and unnec'
essary. 1t is not our business and Is
out of our sphere"

The Latest in Hair Dressing.

The "smartest" women, married or
single, are wearing their hair low Oh
the neck, says the New York Press.
Some of the extremists have it sprawl
ed over the shoulders in the loosest
possible knot. The examples of Miss
Elsie Whelen, Mrs. e. Moore Robinson
and Mrs Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
may be cited. With evening gowns
these women are returning to the old
fashioned waterfall of a half cen
fury ago. Soon we may see women
in public with their hair Arranging
down their backs" Last summer when
Miss Schenck and Miss Roche were

ion with enthusiasm. as few women

be perenniailY youthful. The grown
daughters are companions as well az
children, and the color in the mother s
