CAN BULGARIA FIGHT?

AS the Balkan situation grows more
serious, the question whether Bulgaria
could hold her own against Turkey be-
comes interesting. The Bulgarian
government seems to have no. doubt as
TO that, and the confidence Of the min
listers may appear justified, when II Is
remembered that a number Of Turks is
needed to hunt down every rebel In
Macedonia, Consequently the full
strength of the Turkish army could not
be employed In Bulgaria, were a war TO
break out,
Turkey has an army, all counted, OF
over million men, but authorities hold
that only one-fourth Of this number is
available for European war. The
Porte rules n turbulent population by
force. Strong garrsons must be kept
In Armenia and Albania, and even in
Constantinople,S alonlca and Adrlanople
The Sultan's Arabian subjects are ever
on the alert TO dispute his authority,
and they must be held In check by
armed battalions. Only In the event
of a religious war could he count on
their assistance,
II Is presumed that as many Bulgar-
ans as Turks could be mob
lllzed, and the two powers
would therefore be about equal
In numerical strength. The Bull

ALKALINE TEACHINGS.

The Deseret News. on Saturday eve
ming. made some remarks on the leach
Ing of alkall lands, and the experiments
that are being made over Jordan with
washing the soil and undertaking 10
carry off the drainage, This we ex-
planned Yves not a new thing under the
Utah sun, but that II had been adopted
IN several places years ago, as had sur
face washing also But we showed
that the great need for the wide
stretches of land over Jordan and SIM
liar areas, was water to do the leach
ing with, whether by embarrassing
or understanding.
A contemporary that has displayed
astonishing ignorance OF conditions In
Utah, particularly as to water affairs,
endeavored TO convey the impression
that there had never been any such
undertaking attempted In this State
before, and this fallacy we briefly and
gently corrected. Now comes our mis-
Informed neighbor and once more ex-
hlblts its lack Of information by de-
claring that the experiment referred TO
is the first application of this effec-
tive system In Utah" That Is merely
a repetition OF an error as TO fact
well known to many OF our agriculture
lists who have used the UNDERLYING pro-
cess OF drainage, But our agitated
contemporary makes another assertion
which is a direct and wilful falsehood.
Referring to our comments II says we
stated that Surface watering VIII leach
out the alkall just as well as the pro-
cess described"
That is the common resort Of the pa
per containing the mistake and the
falsehood-to mlsrepresent when 1t
cannot refute. We did not say any
thing like what Is attributed TO us. No
sentence In the News" article can be
construed or twisted to signify any
thing OF the sort. We simply showed
that the teaching process spoken OF
was not new; that both surface wash
ing and undertllng had been In use
here before. but that two things are
necessary in either method; one is,
water to use In the teaching, and the
other, an outlet for the alkaline drain
age.
Anything that experiment and DEM
onstration can do TO furnish a sum
Client water supply to effect the leach
ing of alkali lands, will be a boon TO
Utah, and of vastly more value than
the evidences afforded that such lands
can be redeemed by UNDERLYING, fact
that has been known here for many
years. But as we stated on Saturday,
this may be of great benefit to people
where that process is unknown.
