Hartman stated that he had con-
tributed $4,000 himself and had So
lcited like amounts from two frlcnds,
and other large sums from othe.' ti7
nancial interests, the total an mt
being $250,000.

last proposition, that of oYer-confl-

who have been following the Ball

War in the Balkans, so Long Predicted,
Seems to be Imminent.

'
Seems to be Imminent.
A dispatch from London says war
between Bulgaria and Servia on the
one side and Turkey on the other is
unavoidable. Proclamations have been
issued by both the Bulgarian and the
Servian governments calling 70. gen
cral mobilization Of their armies, while
Turkey is concentrating all available
forces, 100000 men, consisting OF Gle
ven divisions of the "Redifs," 70" Re-
serves, in the vicinity Of Adrianopie
and along the Bulgarian frontier.
Reports from Sofia indicate Jhat
crowds in the streets have grown 10
thousands, all demanding war al onca,
while Turkish troops, ordered from
Thracc into Albania, have been order
cd back to their station, so that 70 re-
endorsements have been sent to SAILOR
Xxi, the Dardanclles, or Smyln2 for
use against the Italians.
Despite protests of foreign repre-
sentatives in Constantinople, Turkey
is going ahead with her preparations
for war in the Balkans.
Five Turkish divisions Of $4,000
men each in Asia Minor are aeing
called in for concentration. More
than $4,000 soldiers above the usual
quota maintained in the garrison
there have been concentrated at ACria-
inople and others are being taken there
from Southeastern European Turkey
as fast as they can be conveyed. The
government has commandered twenty
trains for the shipment Of artillery,
provisions, ammunition, and other
war supplies into the Nilayct Of -Adrl.
anople.
A convention between Greece, .lon.-
enegro, Seryia, and Bulgaria, for joint
action against Turkey has been drawn
up.
1t is known that peace negotiations
between Turkey and Italy have oeen
accelerated by the Balkan der,anc5,
for Turkey does not want two wars
ppon her hands at the same time, in
addition she needs funds for q war
with the Balkan states and Italian IN
demnity money for the seizure o. Trip
oil would come handily now.
The Young Turk element favors war
with The Balkan states in order .
maintain the prestige of the govern
ment. There is a possibility taat .
declaration of war against the Haiii-
ans would unite the hostile political
factions in Constantlnopie.
Alarmed at the critical appearance
of the Balkan situation the Russian
Government is modifying an army o.
i245.OOO men in Poland. Ostensibi% the
military operations there are for ma
neuvers and for testing the efficiency
of the war department in quick nobi-
iiization but the opinion prevails III OIL
cia! circles that the real object IS 10
place a strong armed force along the
/ frontier in Southern Poland. Seven
army CORPS of 5000 men each arc
being concentrated at Warsaw and
the military centers Of the Polish pro
tvinccs. Meanwhile the government Is
attempting to prevent an open rupture
in the Balkans.
Greece last night ordered a COM
plete mobilization Of all her army and
navy in preparation for cventuai:ties
on the part Of Turkey. which has moo
iijzed her army. Greece has an agree
mont with the Balkan States TO the
effect that # Turkey seeks war with
them Greece will assist the BALKANS
against the 2ohammeGans.
