THE Mayor Of Philadelphia intends to
institute proceedings against the railroad
companies with the view Of bringing down
the price of coal. The people ofthat city
are paying 81 ton for coal that shonld
retail for 1925, and the mayor is going to
find out why. Hehas already discovered
that the freight rate from the mines to the
city is 81 cents more than to points be-
yond Philadelphia-in other words, that
the railroads are charging 81 cents ton
more to haul coal to Philadelphia than
they do for coal that goes on through to
more distanfpoints.
The people are being scandalousiy rob-
bed by the railroads and the coal operators,
and we hope that Mayor Blankenburg will
really start something that will protect the
public.

SCORE another decided victory for
Governor Woodrow Wilson In his own
State. James Smith, more or less
crooked boss of the Democratic party
who ruled in New Jersey until he was
knocked out couple of years ago by
Governor Wilson, and who had attained
the high office Of United States Senator,
has had another fall. Smith made des-
perate effort to win the nomination for
Senator again at the election on Tuesday,
but the Governor fought him just as
boldly and openly as he did before, and
as successfully, the Governors candidate,
Judge William Hughes, winning by
handsome majority. The defeat of Smith
is another victory for decent politics.

AS the campaign becomes more inter-
esting, it is apparent that the liquor in
terests are depending on buying sufficient
votes on the day of election to defeat the
prohibition amendment. Most of their
schemes to influence public opinion have
been exposed and made futile, and the
only thing left them is to just buy or steal
the election.
Certainly no self-respecting man will
sell his vote to such a wicked and in
famous cause.

Commissariat Non.esistent.

When night closed in on the decimated
Turks il brought short respite 10 Abb
dulah's army from shot and shell. II
nothing else, the men badly needed sleep
and food, but the Turkish commissariat
Is non-existent, and there was no food for
them, and sleep was impossible. for the
pursuing Bulgarians seemed endowed with
relentless force and energy
Turkish dead and wounded lay every
whtre. They encumbered the ground In
all directions. Doctors were few and Of
ambulances there was absolutely none.
The dead lay where they had fallen.
Some attempt was made to remove
and succor the wounded but the greater
portion perished miseraDly during the
bitter cold OF the night. Some dragged
themselves painfully along.
Many, unable 10 crawl further owing
TO physical weakness, cast themselves
on the ground to perish or fall into the
hands OF Bugarians.
For perhaps an hour the retreat was
carried out in good order, but subso-
quently, pressed by the mass behind, the
vanguard speedily lost all semblance TO
an organized army and the men aban-
doned their haversacks, rifles and all
equipments.
Two hours after sunrise the Bulgarians
obtained information of what was hap
pening I'm the ranks Of Abdullah's army
and started in pursuit.

Retreat Becomes a Rout.

"Thenceforward the retreat was con-
yerted into a disorderly rout. Sakizkoj

practically without shot being fired In

hands of the pursuing Bulgarians.

Paris. Nov 3-Austrian suspicious
still block the way TO an accord OF the
powers on the proposal of France. Rus
sia and Great Britain for declaration
of territorial disinterestedness.' The
French Ambassador in Vienna has
given the Austrian Foreign Minister,
Count Won Berchtold, definite assur-
ances that the three powers have no
intention OF asking Austria to deny
herself the right to protect fully her
economic interests, and that their only
desire in the matter is to be able to
indicate TO the belligerents that in
offering mediation the great powers
are determined TO make no demands
for territorial compensation.
Up TO late hour, however, the
French Foreign office had received no
reply from the Vienna Cabinet, and it
is feared that the tone of the semi
official Austrian newspapers fore
shadows a refusal TO agree to the pro-
posal.
Germany also remains silent. Her
ultimate decision doubtless will con-
form to that of Austria.
Meanwhile, the belligerents have
given no sign that they wish interfer-
ence by the powers. The members Of
the Balkan league, according to In
formation available in Paris, have al
ready agreed to the programme, and
when the time arrives they mean to
dictate terms to Turkey.
They will first enforce absolute al-
tonomy in Macedonia and Albania.

Advance More Rapidly.

Toward evening the Bulgarian ad
vance became more rapid. Large bodies
Of infantry, supported by guns, pushed
forward with incredible rapidity, and. to
the amazement of the Turkish staff. the
Bulgarians occupied artillery positions
which had apparently been previously Sc
lected
The batteries took up positions as cool
ly as II they were engaged in manoeuvres
in peace time, and when they had the

the Workmanship was superb and muir
derous.
The commander-in-chie watched the
fight from the heights near the village OF
satikeui, due east Of Lule Burgas.
"As he observed the Turkish artillery
and infantry being moved down his face
for the first time I'm the engagement grew
anxious. The Turkish artillery had from
the beginning been poorly supplied with
ammunition, and what they had was
practically all expended in the fight OF the
morning. Now many OF the gunners stood
around their empty limbers with folded
arms unable TO reply To the Bulgarian
fire. They awaited death, which came
swiftly in most cases. with true ottoman
courage.
Along the whole Turkish front the
troops were harassed by a terrible fire.

Turkish troops intend to make su-
preme effort 10 save the capital.
Reports place the Turkish loss at
more than 10000 killed or wounded.
Constantinople is in "A fever of eN-
citement over the reports from the
field of battle. Foreigners and natives
alike are suffering from the tension
caused by the series of military dis
asters, and although the city is in a
state Of siege, crime in some quarters
is unchecked Many families are leav-
ing the city.
The people fear, first, an outbreak OF
Moslem fanaticism by the turbulent
elements. the lower classes, and, sec
ond, rising Of hordes of maddened
soldiers, who are being driven by the
Bulgarians to make their last stand
few miles outside Of ConstantinOple,
and then, perhaps, to fall back on the
capital.
The battle still continues on the
plains of Thrace, and il the Turkish
soldiers fall back within the gates OF
the city Il IS feared that they may turn
their suns and bayonets on those who
are awaiting here in trembling the out
come of the conflict.
There is large and unruly element
OF the population which would be glad
of any pretcxt for massacre and pill
lage. The presence of more than lO,OOO
Moslem refugees from the war zone,
who have lost all their possessions,
adds to the danger of the situation.
Rumors are current that the Young
Turks Committee may start rioting'
with the object OF overthrowing the
government. but there have been no
tangible proofs Of any such plan. II
Is doubtful whether a rising would be
directed against foreigners as much as
native Christians, but the danger to
foreigners Is very real. If the Turkish
army sustains complete defeat the

The presence Of foreign warships is
OF the greatest Importance, and would
be the surest guarantee Of the security
Of foreign interests and public order
generally. The government has made
more severe the state of siege; strong
patrols circulate through the streets
and the police have received orders to
Use the utmost vigilance and represS
disorders vigorously.
A brigade Of infantry has been dis
patched TO Tchataldja with orders to
prevent all fugitives, particularly
soldiers, from proceeding 10 Constan-
tinople, but it is questionable whether
the brigade, under certain conditons'
could carry out such an order.
on Thursday the diplomatic repre-
sentatiyes Of all the nations held con-
ference. Just what measures were de-
cided upon is not known, but the Aus
trian Ambassador visited the Foreign
Minister and called attention 10 the
disauietude on the part of foreign resi-
dents respecting their safety.
The defences AT TChataldja have been
repaired and strengthened, and during
the last few days many guns have been
mounted there. But II the Turks are

the ground, a torn and mangled mass.
Few of those gallant fellows ever came
back. but they found a heroic death
racing down the hard and stony Vcidt
toward the enemy.
Events succeeded each other in start
ling succession. The Bulgars, recovering
from the temporary check, rushed for
ward heavy artillery. and the remaining
survivors OF the Turkish garrison beat a
hasty retreat In the direction OF Luie
Bugas railway station.
The unerring aim Of the Bulgarian az
tillery. however cut short the retreat, ard
very few of the Turks escaped as they
crossed the plain OH their way to the
cover offered By the neighboring hlls.

artillery The town MAS occupied only
by Turkish dead and the vanguard Of the
enemy. The Turkish artillery, from a
position behind Lule Burgas. accordingly
opened heavy Are on the town. inflici-
ing severe losses on the enemy. Shells
raIned IN Lule Burgas, houses were de-
S,rOysd, and those Bulgarians unharmed
by shells were hiding or injured by fall
ing ruins.
Meanwhile, the Bulgarian artillery had
not been idle. The Turkish positions
were badly chosen. inasmuch a. they
were exposed and practically without
cover, while 10 shelter trenches had been
made for the supporting infantry. The
result of this artillery duel was decidedly
favorable to the Bulgarans and caused
heavy losses TO the Turks
"On the other hand, the severe bonn
bardment 10 which Lule Burgas had been
subjected by the Turks led to its tenn
porary evacuation by the enemy.
