obliged to cOntine itself TO the roads,, at at

cavalry ideas from US, and England espe-
clally uses our methods, applying them here
more closely than one sees on the continent.
The regiments which participated in the
m~aneuvers were largely made up of men
who had seen war They were like hunting
dogs which had been shot over. The Eng

methods of attack which our officers be-

been followed for many years. 1t is inter-

LONDON, Sept. 19.-It is learned that the
war between Turkey and Bulgaria is not
now regarded as imminent by the Foreign
Office or other diplomatic centers I'm Lon
don. IL is stated that under no circun-
stances will the powers permit Turkey to
occupy Bulgarian territory, hence Turkey
has nothing to gain by hostilities. Regard
ing the renewed rumors that a British fleet
is going to Turkish waters, il is officially
stated that, as Balkan matters have been
left in the hands of Russia and Austria,
such action is not contemplated by Great
Britain, and, so far as known, by any other
power. In the meantime the powers are
daily exchanging communication with the
view of determining on some possible means
of restoring order in European Turkey, but
so far they have devised no plan that
would not be likely TO increase rather than
diminish the gravity of the situation.
