WAR THREATENS
ALL OF EUROPE
Sultan of Turkey Addresses
Powers and Prepares to
Begin Rostilities.
BULGARIA TO BE INVADED.

Washington, February 17,-War
in the heart of Europe is at hand.
This startling news has reached
Washington in such well authenti-
Gated form that it cannot he ques-
toned Just when the first gun OF
actual warfare will be fired cannot
definitely be settled, nor can it at
this time be safely predicted how
large general conlagration may
follow after the ignition OF the first
spark. There is danger that all
Europe may become involved,
Turkey is about to invade Bulga-
ria. Diplomats in Washington inter-
ested in the Balkan situation have
learned that Turkey has recently adj
dressed q note to European powers,
and this note Is considered by the
Turkish government, so they under
stand, as sufficient notification of it's
purpose.
The facts stated in the not are be-
lieved to warrant the stern measures
which are contemplated. This note
OF the Turkish government to the
powers is in substance as follows;
Austria is likely to become involv-
ed and 1t is the hope OF Turkey that
Russia will also. Turkey has long
been waiting for an opportunity to
recover her Asiatic provinces and
the sultan's government is proceed
ing now, after the decision has been
reached, that, with Japan on her
hands in the east, Russia has great
deal to contend with and that a more
favorable opportunity to stab the
Russian bear than is offered now
can not reasonably be expected.
Should Russia be drawn in to de-
lend her Asiatic possessions, France
IS her ally, may become involved
This would bring England and Ger
many into the general scrimmage
and a great European war would be
witnessed. This is Turkeys great
desire.

RUSSIAN TO HAVE 100, 600 MEN.
Was French Correspondent Handed

Paris, Feb. 20.-A representative
of the Paris Matin, who has reached
the center OF the Russian military
concentration at Hardin after great
hardships, due to the Trans-Siberian
railway trains being crowded with
thousands OF soldiers, CONTRAST in a
dispatch the announcement that place
will be the main base OF the Russian
land operations. Thus far the base
has succeeded in maintaining it's
communicated with Port Arthur.
The concentration OF troops, the
correspondent says, proceeds sys-
tematically and provision has been
madeior the speedy arrivalof II, 600
men from the divisions of Moscow,
Kieff and Varsovie. Before twelve
days shall have elapsed the Russians
will have an army OF 400, 600 men in
Manchuria. Intense Generalization
exists among the populace and the
people of the surrounding villages
are fiocking into the town, seeking
to reach Western Russia. The rail-
way trains, however, are blocked and
more than 1000 travellers are thus
held up. The intense cold increases
the suffering and adds to the diff
culties OF bringing forward troops.

JUDGE PHILLIPS LAST YEAR
CAN RETIRE FROM FEDERAL BENCH
NEXT JANUARY ON FULL PAY.
Will Have Reached Age Limit Of 70
But is Still Active, and 1t is
Doubtful if He Will Step Out.

X. c. Star.
Under the federal statutes Judge
John +. Philips Of the United States
district court is entitled to retire on
full pay at the end OF the present
year. The law does not require him
to retire at that time aRd-he may
choose not TO do so, but on that
date he will have filed the require
ments for retirement on full pay.
The law provides that u federal
Judge who has reached the age OF 70
years and has been on the federal
bench ten years may retire and
receive the same salary for the re.
mainder OF his life as though he had
continued on the bench. Judge
Philips was born December31, 1884,
and is now in his SEVENTEEN year. He
was appointed to his present position
by President Cleveland June %,
1888, so that he has already been
on the federal bench nearly sixteen
years. He has intimated several
times that he meant to retire, but
many friends doubt whether he will
be willing to give up active life 80
soon. Judge Philips is vigorous
physically and is as fond of working
out interesting and intricate legal
questions now as he was when the
old law firm Of Philips & Vest was
famous throughout Missouri. A
man who has been an active force in
Missouri affairs for half a century
and retains the power and energy
that Judge Philips has is exactly the
man who is likely to surprise would
be successors by continuing for years
in active performance of his otficia
duties.

GIVES UP SEAT IN CONGRESS
John F. Shefroth of Denver Dis
covers That Illegal Methods
Were Used in EIeCting
Him, and Retires.
Him, and Retires.

Washington, Feb. 15.-In volun-
tarily relinquishing his seat as q
member OF the House OF Representa-
tives, Mr.. Shairoth Of the First Dis
trict OF Colorado, furnished a pro-
found sensation. during the forty
minutes session to-day.
The manly and earnest words OF
the Colorado member fairly took
the breath OF the House as he pro.
ceeded to put the first case on record
in that body where a member gave
up his seat, acknowledging that his
selection had been tainted by fraud.
For this fraud Mr.. Shafroth declared
he was not in any way responsible
nor was he aware that 1t had been
perpetrated until the evidence had
been adduced by the Elections Com.
mittee OF the House. 1t was not
done, he said further, Tor the purpose
Of causing bis election.
As he announced the conclusion Of
eight years. service in this manner,
most unsatisfactory to himself, his
voice betokened the emotion he felt.
The hush which spread over the floor
and galleries when the purport Of his
remarks was realized became almost
painful.
But when he sat down with words
Of thanks on his lips for the treat.
ment he had received from his col
leagues on both sides Of the chamber,
applause burst forth and continued
long end heartily. The Democratic
members arose almost en- masss and
extsnded personal expressions OF
sympathy and encouragement.

WHY Japan Should Prove the
Victor.

An experienced American military
man says that in the first important
land battle OF the war the Russian
army will be found far inferior to its
efficiency OF thirty years ago, for the
reason that the Russian in the ranks
is not thinking man or onecapable
OF independent action. In the old
manner OF fighting in mass one man
was as good as another 80 long az
he had a strong stomach for combat,
since he could be directed and con.
trolled by the officer standing near
him, even logged Qiterally with
whips into quick and soldierly &C
ton.
In the fighting line OF to-day, how
ever. the men of the ranks, strung
out at great distances in "open for
nation" taking ranges where the
enemy cannot even be seen, and in
return being fred at by those they
cannot see and whose position they
cannot locate thanks to smokeless
POWDER without intelligent deduc-
ton, must all be capable ofindepend.
ent and thoughtful action or they
will fail to perform any useful iunc
ton in a battle.
On the firing line to-day every man
who carries q rife to be an efficient
soldier must be capable OF seli-com-
mand, his own sub-lieutenant, lieu
tenant and captain when necessary.
The Russian is not equal to this
task; the Japanese is, and should
prove the victor.

The girl Of plump, rounded hgure, OF

cheek and flashing eye-she IS the

No girl need carry the craze for Physi-
cal culture and physical Development to
such lengths that she will obscure al
else. but there is a happy medium that
she can follow, and which will bring
its own need of reward IN rounded pro-
portions, grace Of carriage, and, better
than all. abounding health and good

The first thing is to stand correctly,
and it is truly astonishing how many
girls have failed to master this point.
In the ballet schools which flourish m

backward, chest thrust out, shoulders
back, and the abdomen held well in.
This last is an important item, and one
which perhaps is the most neglected. and
yet it is the fundamental one for acquir-
ing grace of carriage.
Take each of these points as enumer-
sted, and see that the body conforms to
them. The knees must be held stiff, and
the body planted firmly upon the heels
and the balls of the feet equally. A
plumnet line held at the chin should
lust touch the bust and the toes, and
hang clear and free between these
points. A few times prsctieing this po-

BEAUTY CULTURE THROUGH
