GENERAL MILES PRAISES BULGARS
Thorough Training, Secrecy and Rapid
Mobilization Are Causes of Succe..

"The marvellous success Of the Boil
RarIan army" said Lieutenant-G General
Nelson A. Miles at Fitchburg. Mass,
the other night, ''is due to three essen.
tial things that they have observed in
preparing for war: Thorough training,
entire secrecy. aud rapidity Of mobiliza-
tion."
General Miles sou. Captain Sherman
Miles. is the American military attache
in the Balkan States, and has been with
the main Bulgarian army. Daring the
last eight months he has been making
carefnl study Of the organization and
equipment of the Balkan armies.
Speaking from information contained
in letters from his son, General Miles
said:
"The personnel of the Bulgarian
troops is splendid. as I personally wit
messed when went to the Balkans for
the war of 1896. the physique of the
men is superb and the only comparison
can make 10 with our own American
back woodsmen during the OWL War.
Filled with enthusiasm as they now are,
they are the equal Of any soldiers in the
world.
1--WE may say that new frs. class
lighting power has arisen in the storm
centenof Europe. Unless the accounts
from the seat of battle are exagger-
ated, the battle around Adrianople is
the bloodiest yet fought. A loss of
10000 out Of even 200, 900 is incredible
aud l am inclined to think there is q
mistake. don't think that there will
be any stampede to CONSTANT tinople,
and am inclined to think the Turks are
retiring in better order than is reported.

ture and Paraehutes to Earth.
Aerial photography is. of course. by
no means new. For number of
years experts have been working with
special instruments strapped to the
breasts OF carrier pigeons. An ex-
traordinary device. however. has late
ly been adopted for taking the camera
into the air 1t is really q combina-
ton of camera and rocket. The rocket
goes off and carries the camera with it..
At the climax Of the fight the shutter
automatically snaps, and, buoyed up
by a parachute frill which has in the
meantime expanded, the camera gen
thy descends.
The thing has been developed in Ber-
lin. and just at present it is all the
rage there for people to have birdseye
views of themselves taken. The only
difference between an aerial camera
and an ordinary one is the shutter.
There are many ways OF arranging
that the shutter shall open at approx
mately the right minute, though, of
course, the photographer always has
to face a considerable chance that he
may not get the precise subject he
wants. One method is to have.a clock
attachment that works the shutter aft
er calculated interval. A time fuse
has also been used
Among other freak cameras there is
one shaped something like a watch.
while another, shaped like a cannon,
takes button photographs. Possibly
the largest thing in cameras is the
Atalanta camera. constructed for use
on aeroplanes. 1t looks like a minia-
ture naval gun. is aimed and fired like
a rifle, has range of fourteen miles
and works with an extremely rapid
shutter. Germany has bought Il num-
Der of these cameras for use on its
