Nab,s NaOal Superiority
VIII Tel IN Early Stages,
but Turks Haze Fine Army
BY GEN. NELSON A. MILES.

copyright, 1911, by the Newspaper
Enterprise A~ssociation.1
At a time of profound peace not only
in Europe, but throughout tne world,
when the human family Is enjoying
greater prosperity and tranquility than
ever before, when i~nternationa' good
will is more universal thar at any
other time, the intelligence Is fla.he]
beneath the seas and over the lands
that W powerful nations are to DC
come involved in war; that The paloT,
fortune and of the w
nations are to be pit.ed against each
other n that human carnage and
sacrifice must continue until the re-
Sc urees of one of the contendinS
powers shall have been exhausted.
One may well ask the cause Of tits
serious CONFUSION and why thu neces-
sity of moving great armies and
powerful fleets against each other, or
one might ask the question: Is there
sufficient reason, in the light of present
human intelligence and civilization, fer
such a war as we now anticipate?
Especially might this question be asked
when the strongest minds, the deepest
thinkers, the best philosophers md The
most humane and generous-heastel are
advocating arbltration-the settlement
of international questions by a court
of reason and by a parliament or corr
gress of nations.
This seems TO be no exception to the
general rule that wars occur when
least expected or anticipated. In fact,
during the last two hundred years IN
less than 10 per cent. of the wars Ihat
have occurred has there been any
formal declaration of war preceding
actual hostilities. In 30 per cent. The
m~enaeing movements Of great armies
and concentration of fleets and, IN fac,
actual hostilities have preceded a
formal declaration of war
The explorations and discoveries
made during the last few years on
the continent of Africa have opened q
new field for ambition, avariee or en-
terprise of European powers. Inc
success of the English, French, Ger
man and Belgian colonies has at
tracted much attention and caused an
active interest to be III
other countries. What the result of
the contest between the powerful ma
lions of Italy and Turkey will be 1t IS
impossible at present to forecast. There
is nothing more UNCERTAIN than the
results of wal and the unexpected
frequently ceurs
The impending contest is evidently
to be between two distinct races, of
different religion, habits and modes of
life. each inspired by strong national
sentiment and devotion. The military
forces of 10Th nations are we'll organ
lied. disciplined, instructed and
equipped.

DEMOCRATS WILL
OPPOSE WILSON'S
RECALL PLATFORM
Both Parties to Hold Their State
Conventions in Tren-
ton Tomorrow.

When the Democratic State conven-
ton meets at Trenton tomorrow it will
be asked to adopt a platform framed
by Governor Wilson and a few of his
intimate advisers.
Both conventions are to be held the
same day at Trenton. When the Re-
publican convention goes into session
tomorrow morning a platform framed
by a committee appointed by the Re-
publican State Committee will be
placed before it for approval.
Governor Wilson is trying to reach
all the delegates to the Democratic
convention in his efforts to put
through a platform of his own build
ing. The delegates, under he new
law, are the candidates chosen at the
primaries last Tuesday and the hold
over senator's, and, in the case of the
Democratic convention, the Governor
himself. To the members of the Essex
delegation, whom Governor Wilson de-
clared in the recent primary campaign
should be hanged as high as Haman,"
came an invitation yesterday to visit
the executive chambers before the
holding of the convention. The invita-
tion read:
81 am directed by the Governor to
request the Democratic Assembly NOM
inees for Essex county TO meet MIN at
the executive chamber, Stale House,
Trenton, at their convenience after 10
O'Clock Monday, October 2, to discuss
the party platform 10 be adapted by
the state convention Tuesday, October
3. and express their views on the ptln-
ciples to be incorporated therein.
The invitation was signed by Joseph
p. Tumulty, the Governors secretary.
One of the Essex men said that if
the Governor thought he was going 10
"hot air" them into approving a plat
form containing the Initiative, referen-
dun and recall and other of the will
son schemes he would have a rude
awakening. The Essex men have adopt
ed a platform of their own many fea-
ture of which will probably be incor-
porated in the State platform. There
lis not a very promising outlook for a
fight over the platform, as there is sus-
picion that the Wilson men will NOT
push the Initiative, referendum and re-
call, nor the Oregon plan of choosing
United States senators.
The Essex men may not advance any
opposition to the referendum as such,
which they regard merely as furnish
ing food for academicaI discussion, but
the recall and the initiative they are
likely to oppose TO the limit.
The committee that will submit the
platform to the Republican
ton is composed of Colonel Austen
Colgate, Of Essex county; Senators
Leavitt and Edge, of Mercer and At
lantic. respectively; ~Assemblyman
Thomas McCran, of Passaic. who was
leader OF the minority in the last
house, and Assemblyman Whyte, of
Camden. This committee was named
by State Chairman Frank o. Briggs
after a conference held in Trenton Sat-
urday.
1t Ia said that former Governor Stokes
will draw a platform that he will CUB
NIT to the committee. Mr.. Stokes was
at the conference Saturday.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Collisions
between soldiers ON leave and the

Beattie was dead.
The surgeon had gone forward and
with a stethoscope had listened for
less than go seconds before had lived.
He stepped back. He Is dead"
The witnesses filed out. One or two
were CHASTITY pale as they stepped into
the early morning light.
Beattie passed a fairly peaceful night
although his sleep was broken. When
he arose this morning he dressed with
his usal care and ate sparingly. He
did not appear either nervous or ap-
prehensive, although he was incessant-
" under the eyes of his guards, who
had redoubled their vigilance in the
final moments SO that the law might
not be cheated.
He Did Not Finch.
During the reading of the death war
rant the doomed man maintained his
cOmposure. He stood without a tre-

he swayed but so imperceptible that
he might have been shifting his weight
from one foot to the other. When the
deputy wardens fell in on either side
of him he bowed his head a moment.

simply and the death march was be-

Just before superintendent Wood and
his men appeared Rev. DR.. Fix knelt
in prayer with the condemned man. He
prayed Tor QlV1uo forgiveness IOT
No member of the Beattie family
was present at the execution nor at
the penitentiary when the death
march was begun. Preparations for
the reception of Douglas Beattie,
brother of the doomed man, had been
made in the superintendent's office,

MILLER FOR GOVERNOR
Usage County Ex-senator May Enter
the Race.

The Usage Free Press again comes to
the front with an endorsement of its own
boom for H B. Miller of Usage county
for governor. The Free Press believes
that Mr. Miller Is the strongest man with
in the party as a candidate for the high
est state honor. expressing its belief in
the following editorial:
Not quite a year ago The Free Press
suggested to the people of Kansas that H
B. Miller of Usage City is in all respects
an available and acceptable candidate for
the Republican nomination for governor
The trend of recent political events indi-
Gates that the gubernatorial situation has
not been solved and that candidate yet
unnamed is likely to be injected into the
race with first class prospects for success,
at the primary and at the polls The
Free Press. takes the liberty again. with
out consulting Mr.. Miller to suggest that
there is not a man in Kansas who is bet
ter qualified for this office. and, there
is not candidate now in the field who
can muster the strength Of the party at
the polls. Mr. Miller can do this and upon
this result depends party success next
year. Successful in business; a veteran
soldier; a good campaigner; a man OF
character: Mr.. Miller in all respects meas
ures up to the requirements of the office
and of the people.

Denver, Nov. 24.-Much of the testi-
nnony of Mrs Gertrude Gibson Patter-
son who today resumed the witness
stand in her own defense on a charge
of numbering her husband. Charles A.
Patterson, was unfit for publication.
Taking up the subject of Patterson's
illness-it is said he was nearly dead
from tuberculosis of the lungs when
he was killed-Ars. Patterson said that
she had nursed him until a physician
ordered her to take a rest. She con-
tinued to visit him, however, and one
day, she testified, he exclaimed:

me I'm going to sue that '
He patted his pillow" continued the
witness and said, 7 have the thing
here that will fix you 4"
From the hospital where this scene is
alleged to have transpired Patterson
was taken to a sanitarium where he
lived in a house tent. For a time he
declined to see his wife, but once, she
said she was admitted.

terson. and said I'll kill you as sure
as 1 live. .

This was a reference to the Chicago
millionaire whose name has been
brought into the case.
Strouss Sent Her $500.
Mrs. Patterson said she refused this
request and her husband beat her.
Later, she said that she wrote to Emil
Strouss of Chicago and he sent her
$500, with which she and her husband
came to Denver. While they were still
that Patterson by threats compelled
her to sell an electric runabout for
which she secured $500, which. she
declared, she turned over to Patter-
SON. She said that she sold the car
rather than apply to StrousS for the
money, as her husband at first de-
sired her to do. 1t was while they
were in Chicago that Patterson in
sisted that she secure more money
with which he desired to purchase
property Mrs. Patterson declared she
would apply for no more, whereupon,
she testified, her husband exclaimed:
II think I'll sue that -- for tax
ing you to Europe and get the money
1t was then that Mrs. Patterson says
she confessed to her husband that she
had $4,000 given her by Strouss while
they were in Europe. She gave her
husband $1,750 of it to buy the prop
erty.
