Rumelia being 99S,4S1.
Germany's Game.
A short time ago Germany was the
isolated power of Europe. England,
France and Russia were banded to-
gether to hold her in curb. Austria
and Italy will be closely bound to her
again and Russia may be detached in
whole or part from the other drei-
bund.
This is already indicated in the dis
patches. The treaty of Berlin, which
settled the status alike of Bulgaria
and of Bosnia and Herzegovina, being
virtually torn in pieces, the czar's gov
ernment will naturally demand its
share of the benefits. Its eyes will
naturally be turned to the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles and a demand
will be made for the renewal of the
embargo upon the passage of warships
through the straits. Thus Russia will
hope to gain the naval advantage of
her great littoral upon the Black sea
instead of having to depend upon the
ports of the Baltic, which are practi-
cally ice-bound every winter.
May Split with England.
And this is where the split with
England may come. The opening of
the straits would place Russia in a
| position to contest at an early day
her supremacy in the Levant. With
her great interests in Egypt and with
the necessity for guarding the Suez
route to India against all attack, it
would become imperative upon her in
the course of few years to keep a
vastly more powerful and expensive
fleet in the Mediterranean than is at
present needful.
The reward offered to Italy for con-
senting to the Austrian territorial ag-
grandisement is no doubt hand in
the colonization of Tripoli, towards
which she has long had aspirations.
This concession is not unlikely to suit
Germany's plans, since it may create
suspicion and jealousy on the part Of
France, aiming as it does to a COM
plete preponderance of influence in
the north of Africa.
Germany cannot but be pleased also
at the blow TO the Young Turk move
ment, inevitable from the loss of so
much territory to the porte, even
though the hold on 1t was little more
than nominal. Down TO the time of
the Young Turk uprising, Germany
was the most influential of the powers
at Constantinople. The sultan relied
on the kaiser FOR support against the
rest of Europe and the kaiser hoped
to secure greet advantages-first in
the way of railroad concessions and
ultimately in territory in the Turkish
regions of Asia. The Young Turk sue
cess dispelled the German influence
and curbed German ambitions. Ed.
ward of England supplanted William
as the best friend of the Ottoman gov.
ernment. Anything that might tend
to cause reaction In Turkey, there
fore. could not fail to give satisfaction
! in Berlin.

Eastern Rumelia (since its union
with Bulgaria, also known as South
ern Bulgaria) was created by the
treaty of Berlin. Signed July 13, 1878.
1t was to remain under the direct po-
litical and military authority of the sui
tan, under conditions of administrative
autonomy, with governor general
nominated by the porte. On Septem-
ber 1S, 1885, the government was over
thrown by a revolution and the union
of the province with Bulgaria pro-
claimed.
The estimated area of the principal
ity of Bulgaria proper is 24,3SO Eng

Allowed-The wide tuck over the
shoulders, which gives this waist its
name, is stitched to the bust line in
front and to the waist line in the
back, and gives the only perceptible
fullness. The model is particularly
suitable for messaline, satin or chif-
fon, and pretty style is to wear one
Of the large lace yokes, which may be
bought ready made, as seeh in the IL
lustration. 1t also adapts itself to
hand embroidery, and is simple in con-
struction and becoming when worn.
The sleeves are in the mousquetaire
style, and are made over lining. The
pattern is in six sizes-92 to AZ inches,
bust measure. For SO bust the waist
requires 4A yards of material 20

over $4,000 men of all arms. Accord
ing to Capt. Mischicoff of the general
staff plans had been mapped out
whereby 100000 trained men could be
put in the field on the opposite side of
the Macedonian frontier in two weeks.
In another two weeks two more armies
of 100000 men each could be placed
on a war footing.
Military service is compulsory, two
years being the minimum term, and a
man stays is years in the reserve
after he has completed his time with
the colors. Consequently, the whole
able-bodied male population of the
country has been trained in arms.
The army is divided into nine mill
tary districts, each of them the head
quarters of division which, on a war
footing, would become an army corps.
Similarly the entire army is organized
on a skeleton basis. The regiments,
whose peace footing is 500 men, would
be increased to the strength of the
Japanese regiments, trife more than
1000 men.
Drilled on American System.
Bulgaria's cavalry has been drilled
on the American system. Shock tao
tics are never used, and the men are
taught to make themselves of use in
reconnoitering and scouting. Possibly
the total force Of the cavalry corps
would be 1000 sabers. So far as
mounts go, it has the best Hungarian
or Russian horses that money can
buy, quite up to those in the American
service.
The artillery has recently been
equipped with so brand-new six-gun
field batteries of the Creusot make,
and, all told, probably has about 900
quick-firing guns, not counting ma
chine guns and heavy siege pieces.
The infantry, which is splendid fight
ing material, carries the Mannlicher
five-shot rifle and knife bayonet, and
is largely officered by men who have
been under fire in the Macedonian
revolt. 1t was a favorite trick, while
the revolution lasted, for officers to
be given leave of absence for an in
VI lllllS, W NISll luGll
friends. They went across the frontier
with the insurgent chetas.
Perhaps the greatest military adan-
tage Bulgaria possesses lies in the
fact that both her personnel and equip
ment are at maximum of efficiency.
This is based on statements by Off
GERS of her general staff.
Provisions of the Treaty.
The principality of Bulgaria was
created by the treaty of Berlin,
signed July 13, 1878. 1t was ordered
by the treaty that Bulgaria should be
constituted an autonomous and tribu,
tary principality under the suzerainty
of the sultan, with Christian govern
ment and national militia. The
prince of Bulgaria should be freely
elected by the population and con
firmed by the sublime porte, with the
consent of the powers, but no member
of any reigning house of the great
European powers should be elected.

~ ONDON.-For those who know
H Bulgaria and the Bulgarians it
is not hard to understand what
A Prince Ferdinand's proclamation
of the independence of the
country means to his people. 1t is the
consummation Of 30 years of patient,
crafty, never-swerving effort, always
directed to the one purpose, by the
minds of statesmen who were not
afraid to match their wits with those
of the prime ministers of the great
western powers and whose rewards
were occasional victories. 1t is the
consummation, too, of the prayers and
hopes of the 100000 people of Bull
garia ever since the treaty of Berlin,
dictated by Disraeli, deprived them of
the advantages secured for them by
Russia in the treaty of San Stefano.
A westerner can hardly appreciate
the Bulgar's hatred for the Turk. 1t
is the relic of centuries of slavery
during the time when Europe was
awaking from the sleep of the middle
ages, and it is hatred that knows no

Bulgarians have never forgotten that
in the olden days, when western Eu-
rope was for the most part sunk in
barbarsm, the cZar of all the Bulgars
dominated the entire Balkan peninsu-

treasury of learning and art.
1t is a far cry from Stephen Du-
shan, last of the Balkan czars, to Fer
dinand, czar of the Bulgars, and in
deed, the Bourbon blood of Ferdinand
contains not one drop of the fluid that
flowed in the veins of the medieval
hero, but to the Bulgars the proclama

the old estate.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gem

one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinllham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, s.,anywOmananydaymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
b. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound:
Lydia e. Pinlham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pmlham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
