driven out of the Lackawanna Steel
plant he went TO Boston
II is understood that up to Sunday
week ago he was in Boston, but az

body of the boy. he left.

VIENNA, Nov. lS.-Turkey's claim
that the Bulgarians have at last SUI
fered severe check in their advance
on Constantinople was regarded here
today as corroborated in the indiffer-
ence OF the Ottoman diplomatic rep
resentatives at the various European
capitals concerning peace terms.
Hitherto, since the succession or
Turkish defeats between Mustapha
Pasha ard Chatalja. the Sultan has
clamored for intervention by the
powers. Today. while II was still adj
mitted that he expects TO make heavy
concessions to secure a cessation OF
hostilities, it was intimated that he
does not feel there is need for des-
perate haste.
Sofia. too. which has been very
prompt in the past in reporting every
Bulgarian victory, was profoundly sir
ent concerning the latest developments
before Constantinople.
FINALLY the story that the Turks
repused the Bulgarian attempt Sat
urday TO batter down the last line or
the Turkish capitals defenses rest
ed not alone or Turkish authority but
also on that of dislnterested foreigners
in the city.
Greece has not completely exhausted
it's resources, but Bulgaria, Seryia
and Montenegro have sent every avail
able fighting man to the front. They
cannot reinforce the armies they have
already in tho field. And winter Is
