SERvIA IN WARLIKE MOOD
Popular Clamor for Conflict With

POWERS MOVE 10 KEEP PEACE

The diplomatic situation in Eu.
rope this afternoon is briefly as
follows:
The Turkish council of minis
tiers has decided to protest to
Austria-Hungary against the an
nexation of Bosnia and Herze-
govina, which was formally pro-
claimed by Emperor Franz Josef
this morning. In the meantime
Turkey virtually agrees to refrain
from aggressive measures pend
ing action by the powers.
A warlike feeling exists in
Servia, and that government has
addressed an urgent protest to
the signatories of the Berlin
treaty against Austria's breach
of its provisions in seizing the
provinces.
The. cabinets of London, Paris
and St. Petersburg are making
efforts to formulate a program for
the submission of the Bulgarian
question to the powers. Germany
has thus far remained silent.
A movement is on foot in Crete
for the union of that island with
Greece.
CONSTANTINOPLE. October Y.-Ybo
council of ministers has decided to pro.
test against the annexation of the prov.
inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Aus
tria-Hungary. Protest will be made
through the Austrian embassy here
In an interview today Tewik Pasha,
president OF the council Of state and min
lister Of foreign affairs, declared that
the government already had protested
against BNJgaria's declaration Of inde-
pendence and had proposed to the sigma
tories of the treaty Of Berlin the calling
of conference. This Turkey considered
to be the best course for the protection
of her interests.
The minister added that Great Britain.
France and Russia disapproved of the
conduct of Bulgaria. In reply to a ques-
ton. he said that Turkey desired peace
in the interest OF internal reform and he
counseled calm and moderation.
The reports of Turkish military prepa-
rations are denied here. and 1t is said
| that the government is merely complet-
ing the deficiencies in various army corps.
Following out this program, new guns
and ammunition are being sent to Adri-
anople and Saloniki
Servia Enters Urgent Protest.
BELGRADE. Servia, October THE
government has addressed an urgent pro-
test to the signatories Of the Berlin treaty
| against Austria-Hungarys breach of the
provisions of the treaty in seizing tho
occupied provinces of Bosnia and Herze-
govina.
This step. il is contended here, will
prove fatal to the future of Servia. The
Servian parliament has been summoned
in extraordinary session for October 10.
The popular clamor for a war with
Austria Hungary continues unabated.
Special steps have been taken to insure
the safety of Austrians In Servia.

in the fall it. means that he will not

After this great step has been
taken, it remains TO obtain an early
crop during the following spring. The
main points In the system of control
are as follows:
Destroy geevils in the fall.
Destroy weevils that may have
escaped burning and be found along
hedge rows, fences, etc.
Prepare the land early and thor
oughiy,
Provide wide rows and plenty of
space between the rows for the as
sistance of the natural enemies of
the weevil.
Insure an early crop by planting
early maturing varieties.
Chop early and give frequent cul-
tivation in pursuance of the policy
of making the crop.
Where labor is sufficient pick the
first appearing weevils and infested
squares, but do not burn the squares.
Use a cross-bar of iron or wood
cultivators.
do not poision the leaf worm, un-.
less its work begins at an abnormally

HIS WISH GRANTED.

I In one of his great speeches in
the United States senate. a body
which he adorned while in il, Edward
Ward Carmaek paid this beautiful
and touching tribute to the South:
The South is a land that has
known sorrows; it is a land that has
broken the ashen crust and moisten-
ed it with tears; land SCARED and
riyen by the plowshare of war and
billowed with the graves of her dead;
but land of legend, land of song,
land of hallowed and heroic mem
cries To that land every drop of
my blood every fiber of my being.
every pulsation of my heart, is con-
secrated forever. ! was born of her
womb; ] was nurtured at her breast,
and when my last hour shall come,
pray God that may be pillowed upon
her bosom and. rocked in sleep with
in her tender and encircling arms
Carmack's wish came all too true
literally true. When stricken by the
hand of the assassin his pillow was
the sod of the State he glorifed, and
he now seleps within her tender and
encircling arms. If ever man was
honored the tributes paid to him over
his native State last Sunday and since
his murder are honors which show
how his life work was appreciated
Great in life. it seems that his death
IS even greater, and those things for
which he died are nearing their con-
ton.

POVERTY'S EFFECTS.

It is an old saying that love flies through the door when poverty enters through the window
 Men who have mushed in the old days in Alaska will appreciate the truth of this saying as much as any body when they remember the friend- ships which have been broken during rough times on the trail. They will then call to mind the hunger and the fatigue and the utter hopelessness which drove all the charity from their hearts and left nothing but animal tendencies, which, of course. ended in bitter feelings bitter words and bitter separation.
 As it is with partners of the same sex, so it is with the partners who wear their hair in different lengths. While pleasant May is blooming" ev- erything goes merry as a marriage bell, but when "the clouds of autumn dark are Glooming" there comes a sort of ravenous desire to taste something new.
 So it is, love and enmities are often caused not by any particularly lovable or destestable qualities in another, but by the physical condition prevailing when the parties are together.
 Rex Beach o. Henry and innumera : ble other writers of frontier stories have dwelt upon this strange creation of ill feeling between men who are trails It is not the fault of the men but of the conditions. So il is ofter with homes that might be happy, but are not.

HOsSoN'S CHOICE.

The United States eut SD fow heroes out of the Srauish-An. cricau war that it is heart breaking to part with single one Yer they have nearly all gone The fierce Ugh, of tho twentieth century beating upon hr'o melts him like wax.
 The first hero to com, out of that conflict. and the first to go. was Hob- son. Hobson performed d really cniyal- ric act. He offered his lifN. for his country as truly as Winkelreid or any of the rest of them in the copy-hoolls Lord Byron it. is said. aWoke to find himself famous Hobson rose out of the sea to find himself one of the im- mortals. But he has been doing his worst ever since to snow that he is merely clay. First there was the kiss ing episode, which might be and has been forgiven, and then he departed from the navy in cold manner Lastly he sprung this war with Japan. which he hugs to his bosom night and day. It is a silly obsession. and could be laughed at except for one thing.
 Captain Hobson is a member of the congress of the United States and re- sponsibility should attach to his public utterances. The Japanese are merely human. When they hear of the talks that the great Captain Hobson, the hero of the Sponish war. who is now a member of the American congress. makes-well, while it does not neces- sarily produce war, it does not tend toward peace. It is an international irritana. and International irritants are not useful.
 Hobson may have the excuse that he is an evangel of preparation; that he is preaching the necessary gospel of an effective navy. Very well. let him preach the doctrine of q great navy for general defensive purposes, and not point his arguments toward any parti- cular country. He would lose some thing in spectacular effect but he would restore the balance of responsibility which is a proper compliment of the NJ. C. which follows his name.
