W. M. A. II, BUCKNER 0
Wentworth Has Another Football Scalp
in Its Belt.

The mighty gridiron warriors from
Buckner came to Lexington Satur-
day expecting to annex a game from
the Wentworth team. The Buck
nerites, who had not previously been
scored on, had defeated the cadet
scrubs earlier 10 the season by a
score of Is TO 0 and hoped also to de-
feat the regulars. Their hope was
not altogether unreasonable; for
they were strong and fast. Their
defense was the best that Wentworth
has been up against this season
Their one weak point was the lack
of variety of plays. They bucked
the line with strength, zeal and con-
certed attack. In doing this they
gained during the game over sixty
yards; but their style is not the kind
that wins this year against a team,
such as Wentworth's, coached up to
the minute.
The first half was a good exhlb-
ition of hard football. Wentworth,
defending the west goal received the
the kickoff. BY a swift and varied
attack the cadets advanced the ball
to Buckner's twenty yard line. After
two Intellectual plays Blake scored
four points IN a place kick.
Then the visitors braced and for
the rest of the half honors we're
about even. Neither team could
make sufficient gains to get in sight
of a touchdown, When the whistle
blew Wentworth had the ball on
Buckner's thirty yard line.
The second half was a replica of
what has happened in several of the
cadets games this season. Their sup
erior condition told. Five minutes
after the halt started Cook tore across
the line for a touchdown on a off
tackle play. Owens failed
to kick goal. After another
brilliant series of ground
gaining plays a few minutes after
ward the younger Cook plunged
through for another touchdown,
Owens kicking goal. The last score
was made by Chambers, who got
into the middle of a B lckner double
pass and raced down the field for
sixty yards. This with Ovens goal
made the score 81 to 0. There was a
misunderstanding about the time.

ready to go in, would have probably

ABOUT ADVERTISING-NO.4
The Hen and the
Doorknob
By Herbert Kaufman
By Herbert Kaufman

Once upon a time there was a fool
hen who sat on a china doorknob for
three weeks expecting to get family.
The only thing she did get was e~-
6er1enCe.
The Advertising field is full Of
china doorknob propositions"-ex-
amples Of merchants who expect good
negUgbabery to hatch money out of bad
egg business, or who put sound nest
eggs under the wrOng advertising
hen"
There are three principles to fol-
low in an advertising campaign:
First Of all, find a Business that will
stand advertising; secondly, find the
new5baber that will make the adver-
Using pay; thirdly, give the news
paper time to pay.
You can't start in to breed dollars
in less time than it takes to hatch
them any more than you can pull a
hen off the nest before she has had a
chance to incubate. In both cases
you simply sUaste what has been In
vested. Il you stop too soon you
will get a rotten egg instead Of a
chicken.
Advertise something out Of which
you may reasonably expect returns,
and when you have found what to
adverti5e, take care that you place
your copy in a newspaper that a
turn the trick. Don't delude yourself
with a china doorknob, and don't
confuse a rooster newspaper which
spends its time cock a-loruming, for
a hen newspaper" that is TOO busy
Matching out dollars to strut about
Growing.

three years In the active army. then for
ak years in the reserve Of the active army.
At the expiration of that time he passes
for nine years into the reserve army and
finally for five years into the landsturm.
About 10000 young men are taken an
nuaily for color service Of the 100000 or
more young Moslems who come up for
conscription. The German officers who
have been drilling the Turkish troops

lows: Active army, 100000; reserve OF
active army, 40, 900; reserve army, 5000;
landsturm, 90 700; total, 100000.
The mobilization of the Bulgarian
army can be accomplished much more
easily and speedily than the Turkish.
The Bulgarian territory Is divided into
nine districts. with headquarters at
strategical points.
Each division has two brigades Of In
fantry and one artillery regiment OF nine
batteries. A cavalry regiment is included
in the quota Of the first six divisions. All
the divisions have full complement
of administrative. clerical and medical
stats. The war strength Of each division
Is placed at 10000. making a total Of
iso, 900. with 1000 cavalry and $50 guns.
Then besides there are separate

which would bring the mobilized strength
OF the Bulgarian army in the field to 21o.-
600. with 1000 cavalry and 900 guns.
There would still remain 10000 fully
trained reservists and the 10000 landwehr

that scientific training which has become
necessary on a modern battlefield, the
courage and patience With which every
one who knows the Turkish soldier will
admit he is endowed, are useless.
Il was struck with the way things we're
done under the old order by seeing in a
gun park hundred or more Krupp quick
firing guns for both horse and field artil-
lery. The pieces had been issued to the
artillery branch OF the service almost
three years before. yet they had never
been used except for few trial shots
when they first arrived.
THE Sultan had always denied per-
mission to the officers to engage in either
musketry or artillery field practice. and
thus tho stores OF ammunition that were
bought at the same time spoiled or were
wasted in the arsenals, Now. these fine
guns. and they are really such. are being
put into condition, foreign instructors
In their use have been engaged and a plot
OF ground for artillery field practice has
been secured.
"one Of the officers put the matter thus:
We have no lack Of guns, ammunition
or men. What we want is the practical
training that was denied us under the for
mer Government And we shall have it.
for we know and feel the need OF 1t.
Everything Is in disorder and confusion
now. but wait for a few months and you
shall see a wonderful improvement"
The Bulgarians have passion for edu-
cation. A remark that you may often
hear quoted in army circles is that Of
Marshal Oyama. who said after the battle
Of Mukden that the victory was "a triumph

models Of the best that he has found
throughout Europe.
The armies Of both countries are
recruited by CONSUMPTION: Practically
the whole OF the male population Of Bull
garia is drawn upon. The Turks. on
the contrary. place the burden OF mill
tary duty entirely upon the Moslems,
Since there are in Europe only about
1 .750 900 Moslems. very large part OF
the army must be drawn from the Asiatic
provinces. This weakness Is one Of the
points that the new regime intends 10
correct. 1t proposes to extend con-
scription to the whole European popula-
ton of the Ottoman Empire, thus giving
nearly 1000 900 people to draw from.
In Bulgaria 80, 700 young men annually
reach the age Of 21. and Of these about
| 24,OO0 are taken for the full peace color
service. This period Is nominally three
years for the cavalry and artillery and
two years for the infantry.
After they have finished their service
under the colors the men are kept In the
reserve for eighteen years. After leaving
the reserves they are passed into the land
wehr for six years and are considered
available material for prolonged cam
paigns. A recent estimate by an Austrian
authority. which seems to be verified by
actual conditions, gives the number Of
men serving with the colors and on the re-
serve as $4,000. There are about eO,ooo
Of the landwehr. but in time Of peace they
are without any military organization.

extends over twenty-five years. The CON-

he is not illiterate. and under the influence
OF military training he Is more easily

Turk. The Military School at Sofa 10
admirably equipped and has been turning
out efficient young officers. One OF the
sights on which tho Bulgarian capital
prides itself is review of the cadet corps,
body OF about 1000 as smart looking
young officers as you might see anywhere.
The curriculum of the school Is much
the same as that Of West Point or OF the
best Of the European military schools,
and the institution is under the close
supervision of the War Minister, as well
as of Car Ferdinand himself. In these
respects the school at Sofia has been In
marked contrast to the military college
at Constantinople.
There the study of chemistry was
prohibited by the Sultan because an an
archist who knew something Of the science
threw bomb ct him. and the chief OF
the army corps staff said that he had
never visited the school, giving as his
reason that II he had done 30 he would
have been denounced by the Sultan az a
spy and as a meddler with matters that
did not concern him.
The principal branch Of the service OF
both the Turkish and Bulgarian armies
is the infantry. The endurance and
patience Of the Turkish infantryman have
been remarked by all who have seen him
in the field or have witnessed the long
and tedious marches that he has made
poorly equipped and poorly provisioned.
But the Bulgarian infantryman Is GER
tainly not behind in these respects. Those
The sun., 1908-10-18

who have seen him In the military man
euvres have remarked his sturdiness
and hia capacity for hard work In fact
the Bulgarian foot soldier works harder
than almost any other European soldier.
for his term Of service Is nominally but
two years. and out Of that must come q
time allowance for planting and harvest
ing his crops.
His marching power is really considered
above the average OF similar European
bodies To repel King Milan's invasion
in 1885 the army had to be transferred at
short notice from the Turkish to the
Servian frontier. To do this infantry
regiments made forced march Of nearly
sixty miles In twenty-six hours before
attacking the enemy.
The cavalry branch of the Turkish
army has always been considered ex-
ceedingly picturesque. but the value Of
the greater part OF ii In modern war
fare Is problematic. made up as It Is Of
Kurds and other half civilized tribes Of
Asiatics. These troops are all natural
horsemen. and they come to their drills
mounted on small. hardy. country bred
horses. But In spite Of their perfect
horsemanship the Turkish officers have
never been able to make them amenable
TO military discipline. They still remain
more showy than useful.

The needs Of this country are ines
timable. As pointed out In q prospectus
handed to the first American capitalist
to arrive since the proclamation Of the
Constitution. there Is room for the invest
ment of millions upon millions Of dollars.
In Constantinople there is need for tram
ways. where only some few miserable
horse cars now run; there are no electric
lights. no telephones. little sewerage and
drainage. not even fire brigade, hand
pumps still being used.
And these are also the requirements
