WAR IN BALKANS
At CRISIS TODAY
Attack on Turks at AdrianopIe
Resumed Early Soldiers -.
Sleep on Arms.

VIENNA, Oct 24.-This is the fifth
day of the fighting around the Turkish
city of Adrianople, which will likely
decide the Balkan war.
Although the Bulgarian army has oc-
cupied the heights of Tirnovo and Va
siliko. respectively, northeast and
northwest of Kirk Kilesseh. the Turks
are still on Kirk Kilesseh heights,
which is their second base of defense.
kilograms from the front stated that
this days fighting was inaugurated by
an artillery duel which began before
daybreak. The soldiers who had slept
upon their arms were soon in motion.
Both lines OF battle are between 40
and so miles long. extending in a semi
circle through the Morit2a valley from
Kirk Kilesseh on the northeast to the
outer works of the Turks on the west.
The casualties have been very heavy
and some of the dead who fell four
days ago were still lying unburied.
Bayonet Advance Expected.
The methods of the Bulgarian gen
erals, under King Ferdinand, in carry
ing the Turkish strongholds north of
Adrianople, indicated that the Bulga
rlans would attempt to drive the Turks
into the citadel with a grand assault
all along the line. Every telegram to-
day was expected to bring word of a
general bayonet advance by the Bull
garans upon the second Turkish base
of operations.
Heavy Bulgarian guns We're brought
UP and King Ferdinand tried to throw
shells into the city, but the distance
was too great.
The bloodiest fighting is around Kirk
Kilesseh Cor the city of 40 churches)
I where the defense has been as brilliant
as the reported attacks.
Aeroplanes in Service.
Bulgarian aeroplanes have been as
semblcd at the front and daily recon
noissances are being made by Bulga =
rian aViators. One airman assembled
1000 feet and made a rough draft of
the Turkish works in the outskirts Of
Adrianople The Turks directed a
steady fire al the machine. but it was
out of range.
Minor lighting is reported at a num-
Der of scattered points east and west of
Adrianople A Constantinople dispatch
states that the Bulgarian force sta
| toned at Marasa was routed by Turks
+ and fed, leaving thousands of dead
upon the battlefield
! All Constantinople reports of the
fight received here are believed to be
| highly colored The kilograms are re-
garded as much more reliable.

site for cross-country riding designated.
The modern American thoroughbred, as we see
him at present day race meetings and morse
shows, is the product of four centuries or Dreeo-
ing training and experimenting. The ancestors
OF the present numerous equine family were
brought to Virginia by the early English settlers
and Virginia and adjacent parts OF the South
have always been famous as the breeding ground
OF thorcughbreds. However, much o. the breed
ing OF thoroughbreds which is and has been done
f., this favored region has been carried on for
love of the task rather than for financial returns
There is a wide difference between American
rGhoroughbreds and those bred in other notable
horse-raisng sections for instance, Ireland), but
1t would be difficult to find American horse
man who will not argue up and down that the.
Yankee steeds as fine examples OF all-arouno
training as may be found anywhere on the globe
The American thoroughbred is admittedly shorter
than his English prototype, but it is claimed that
this lack of stature is more than counterbalanced
by scIndness and superior constitution.
Horsemen in the United States and In the
United Kingdom hold to different ideals IN breed
ing that are bound to be reflected by certain dis
simarities in the animals produced. In America
She tendency has been to develop thoroughbreds
that will comparatively short distances at
maximum speed, whereas in England greater at
tention is bestowed upon the problem or nreeolng
horses that will long distances and will carry
weight. It is to be expected that with the pass
ing of racing as the supreme field of usefulness
for the American thoroughbred there Will be
tendency on the part of Yankee breeders to more
nearly approach the English standard, which Is
supposed to produce horses ideal for private USE
The breeding of thoroughbreds in America has
been carried on most extensively in the States
al Virginia, Kentucky California, Montana, Penn
syIvania Tennessee, New York and New Jersey.
The principal requisites eQuable climate,
good soil with foundation of limestone, plentiful
water and an abundance of sweet grass There
are yet in existence many breeding farms of mod
est pretensons but the tendency Of recent years
appears to be to create vast estates where wealthy
men specialize in the breeding of thoroughbreds
by aid of every facility that money and thought
can provide In Kentucky few years ago eight
-oId-fashioned stock farms were merged by
millionaire into one FAST breeding estate of fully
two thousand acres.

the past
At all times it is essential for the breeder or
to keep a sharp watch regarding the health
of his blooded equines. Particularly close watch
mouth, legs and feet of each animal. It is OBJ
vious that horse cannot eat properly and be
adequately nourished if he has mouth,
just he cannot satisfactorily if his feet

the bugbear of two-year-olds. Training a thor
oughbred for racing involves, of course special
instruction quite aside from anything included in
the animals education at the breeding farm but
for that matter every step in the life of young
thoroughbred taxes the temper of the nervous.
highstrung animal. And the men in charge Of
one of these equines must show Judgment and
patience in introducing a fourfooted charge to
each experience though it be
thing so simple initiation into the mysteries
of box-staH Or the DOMINIC of a blanket for the
first time
Since the decadence of racing in the United
States a number of American millionaires who
breed thoroughbreds primarily in order to sup
ply their own racing stables have transferred the
of their activities to the Old World. There
several in England; quite few in France and
a number in Ireland, where Richard Croker, for
Tammany leader, is among those who have
established important breeding farms With most
Of these wealthy men, however, breeding is a
fad. The men who breed thoroughbreds for a
livelihood continue to do business at the old stand
i'll America and most of them obtain satisfactory
profits for their efforts
