A NEW CRUSADE.
Movement Among Chicago knights
Templnr to Send Regiments
to Aid Bulgaria.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-The Record-Her-
aid says: A twentieth century crusade
against their ancient enemy, the Turk,
is being planned by Knights Templars,
with the Balkans in place OF Palestine as
the field in which they shall protect
Christians against TIE oppression of the
in1idels. Prominent members of the
order are agitating the forming of a
league TO send regiments of well-drilled
lighters TO the aid OF Bulgaria, and the
crussdes of old may have their modern
prototype in a movement Of the Tenn
plars against the troops of the sublime
porte.
The plan has received consideration
from Chicago members of the masonic
organization for some time, and to-
night it is expected to be formally an
nounced at the meeting of St. Bernard
commandery. With 100000 members
under oath to 'be ready to go to fight
the enemies of Christ, even 10 the
DEATH it is expected that an interna-
tional interest will be stirred in the
movement, and an array of knights
from the United States and Europe may
be massed in Macedonia to fight the SOL
diery Of the Padishah
AS soon as the spirit of the crusade
takes hold in Chicago it is proposed to
extend the movement through the state,
While general call will be at the same
time issued throughout the country.
With the templars OF America grind
ing eight centuries of rust from their
swords, it is expected that a similar
spirit will prevail in Europe, and that
an army will take up the march for the
Balkan frontiers large enough to meet,
man for man, the 100000 troops that
the sultan's grand vizier has placed in
the field. King Edward VII is head of
the knights in England, while Kaiser
Wilhelm is a member of the masonic
brotherhood

normally cool weather prevailed in the

"Caizcsi 10 the Colnrs"
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. IG.--Twenty
thousand Bu!a aGi;.l reserves, Eeionsirg
to three divisions on the Turkish iron
tier, have been called to the colors.
No important step is likely to be
taken at the present critical juncture,
pending the return to the capital of
Prince Ferdinand and a reply from the
powers or some intimation from them
in response to BuIgarias note.
1t is expected that week will suffice to
enable the ministry to judge of the eX-
tent TO which its final appeal to the pow
ers is likely to prove successful. Doubts
are expressed in diplomatic circles
whether the Bulgarian note will bring
any decisive results. but there is every
disposition to recognize the sincerity of
the minjstry's attitude and it's complete
justification for issuing such adocunent
| in view Of the immense forces that TUr-
key is gathering in threatening close
proximity TO the Bulgarian frontier.
