DETROIT, Oct 17.-Reports of the
loss of life from the northern counties
of the state which are being swept Dy
forest fires are still incomplete and the
estimates of the total death list range
from 2S to AZ.
Possible duplication of names in al
tered form from different sources may
account for the difference In estimates.
Reports came this afternoon or tne
death of ten persons not reported from
any other source
A dispatch from Rogers City tells OF
the cremation of four members or the
family of John S. SeZersl1i on their
farm near Rogers City.
From Cheboygan comes a report OF
the finding of the bodies of six Dust
children in road near Metz
Alpena this afternoon reports MISS
Siebert burned to death in her father
lumber camp at Wolf creek
Measures of relief tor the stricken
people in Presque Isle and Cheboygan
counties are already under way.
Many Are Destitute
Hundreds are homeless and many
have not sufficient clothing. A drop In
temperature would cause great suffer-
ing.
A theater at Alpena was thrown open
to receive contributions for the ref
ugees,, and already gifts of clothing
are beginning to come.
The fire swept district takes an area,
according to estimates made today, of
about 100 square miles.
The fires in the neighborhood of Sault
ste. Marie are growing worse this af-
ternoon. The clouds Of smoke there are
so dense that the sun is obscured. All
of the country between the South
Shore railway and Lake Superior in
Chippewa county Is ablaze.
Narrowing scenes are reported from
Posen, where many of the homeless,
burned and suffering refugees from

Anguish over the death of relatives

several hundred refugees had to sleep

Three carloads of provisions were

and more will go forward today.

BALKANS DREAM
OF PEACE ENDED
TURKEY ORDERS HER TROOPS
Modified
Hostile Demonstration Is Answer to
BuIearia's Refusal to Pay for
dependence--War Cloud
Nearest Yet
IBy Associated Press.1

PARIS, Oct. 17.-The optimism pre-
vailing in official circles up to today
concerning the ability of the powers to
maintain peace in eastern Europe was
rudely shattered this evening on re-
ceipt of a telegram from the French
ambassador at Constantinople, M. Con-
stans, announcing that Turkey had or
dered the mobilization of her troops in
Asia Minor, and tonight 1t is Delieveu
that a few hours will determine the
issue of peace or war.
This is regarded as Turkeys answer
to Bulgaria's refusal to accord compen-
sation for her independence, and to the
powers which arranged the program in
London for the international confer
ence. sA
Hasty Action Taken
Instructions have been hurriedly for
warded to the French representatives
at Constantinople and Sofia to renew
their counsels of prudence, and un-
doubtedly the other powers have sent
similar instructions to their representa-
tites at these cities urging moderation
on the part of Bulgaria and Turkey.
The fear among diplomats, however,
is that Intervention may come too late,
and that the Bulgarians, in their pres
ent state of excitement, may accept
Turkeys act as one of provocation and
advance across the frontier, when a
collision between the armies would be
inevitable and irreparable.
At a dinner at the Russian embassy
tonight in honor of M. Iswolsky, the
Russian foreign minister, at which
Premier Clemenceau, M. Pichon, the
French foreign minister and Baron
Rosen, the Russian ambassador to the
United States, who is now on his way
to Biarritz, were present, the hope was
expressed that diplomacy might yet
save the day.
If twenty-four hours can be gained
diplomats in Paris generally believe
that Turkey and Bulgaria can be made
to see the folly of hostilties.
AS soon as word of Turkeys action
reached here Naoum Pasha, the Turk
ish ambassador called upon Sir Francis
Bertier, the British ambassador, but
the purpose of the interview has not
been learned.
Gravity Is Recognized
M. Stancioff, the Bulgarian diplo-
matte agent in Paris, did not attempt
to conceal the gravity of the news
but said that he could not understand
such a move, as he had received a
reassuring telegram in the afternoon
from Sofia, which stated that Bulgaria,
among other things, was ready to ne
gotiate the matter of the Oriental rail-
way with the company.
In some quarters it is believed the
unfavorable impression produced by
the program outlined for the interna-
tional conference was a large factor
in the porte's decision to take matters
into its own hands. Others suspect
scheme of the reactionaries to crush
the new regime in Turkey.
A special dispatch to the Temps from
Constantineple confirms the announce
ment of the mobilization of the Turk
ish army, and 1t adds that fifty loco
motives are now ready to transport
troops.
The order the dispatch says. applies

Cincinnati.-Physicians who have
studied the case of Eta Saulters, a
young woman. who attempted suicide
rs times, say suicide is disease and
that It is infectious, This theory is
Endorsed by others who have given
the subject study.
The case Of Miss Saulters, who has
been dubbed "the suicide queen" by
the police and newspapers, is re-
markable one.
Her 26 attempts at suicide cover a
period OF nearly three years and she
has adopted a great variety OF meth
DDS of self.slaughter, none of which
has proven successful.
That she will kill herself ultimately
those who know her believe. She is
still In the bloom OF youth. Her beauty
still remains. She is intelligent and
capable. Yet she has moments when,
with no apparent reason save melan-
choly, life is too heavy n burden. She
seeks death with the same intensity
that some men and women seek drugs
and stimulants.
When not suffering from acute mel.
ancholy she is reticent about the strug.
giles she has made to rid herself of
life.
She has been taken into custody
many times on charges of attempting
to commit suicide. She recently ad.
mitted TO Police Judge Louder, when
arraigned, that this practice on her
part had resulted In "a arrests, 16
workhouse sentences and four terms,
all short, in the county Jail. She also
had been sent to the City hospital as
many as 20 times.

with rifles the old method has gone

men, that II was impossible to un

adopted. Few people realize that
when they pass the subtreasury they
are passing veritable fortress. Such,
however, Is the case. Gold and other
forms of currency averaging $780,.
100000 are deposited behind doors
which weigh 10000 pounds each and
cost 100000. Within the subtreasury
is an armament of 100 rifles, with
$4,000 rounds of cartridges; 100 re.
volvers, with 1900 rounds, and, chief
Of all, four gatling guns, with 10000
rounds of ammunition. With this
armament any attacking mob could be
repulsed In few moments. In add.

AS an outcome Of the experiences In

Such a tribunal would stand in the
same relation to desertion and like Of
lenses as the children's court does to
Juvenile wrongdoers. 1t would re-
lieve the regular police courts of that
class OF cases.

Drawing String Out.

The drawing string Is now obsolete,
as is the appendix or the ear-moving
muscles. Formerly the main reliance
of womans undergarments, It has
been relegated by the new sheathlike
skirts to a position which is complete
ly ignored by the up-to-date dress
maker. For the up-to-date dress.
maker realizes the Importance of I'M
derwear in a,perfect fitting gown, and
she insists that the lingeries be ad-
justed to the figure as carefully as the
dress itself.
Now, the drawing strings never
guaranteed anything save convenience
even I'm the days when skirts were
flaring as a peony, and in these days
their use is sure to produce great
bungling welts under the skirt and
bodices. For this reason, no woman
who pretends to dress well now ac-
knowledges acquaintance with the
drawing string.

Limelight Unpopular with Hetty Green

position to frivol away her coin on
entrees with long, mysterious names.
From Hoboken to the Plaza is a
dizzy climb and the contrasts are
worth noting. In Hoboken the woman
who has cornered the long green mar
ket got along with $3.50 week for
expenses. Her rent was $40 month.
At the Plaza she spends $500 a month
for her suite. When she lived in her
Hoboken fiat Mrs. Green spent IL
cents for muslin curtain in her kitch-
en- to keep out the eyes of prying
neighbors. The curtains that screen
her from the vulgar gaze at the Plaza
are of the finest Valenciennes. Her
grocery man in Hoboken never con-
templated retiring on the proceeds
of Mrs. Green's custom. A quart OF
milk lasted her three days, he said. 1t
was kept on the window sill to save
ice bills. In Hoboken the richest
woman in the world could look out on
backyard inhabited by dingy cats
and across which were strung long
lines of ragged washing. Any time she
feels like taking a stroll through the
hotel corridors Mrs. Green can bump
into people who count their money by
the hundred thousands and in some
cases millions, and to whom the lux
ury that to her seems so wonderful
at her first sip has grown to be a sim
pie necessity Of life.
Mrs. Green has not yet set day
for her departure from the big hotel.
She has not decided where she will
go from the Plaza or whether the lure
of Hoboken is still upon her. Her chief
desire at present is quietly to slip out
OF the limelight.

that she cannot get away from the
widely published fact that she is liv-
ing in hosiery famous for its lux

guests and its possibilities of spend
