Little Definite News.
OF definite news there was very little.
but It was clear that fighting has now
been In progress for several days along
the Chatalja line, and though 1t has
been reported repeatedly that the at
tacking troops had gained important
advantage, somehow, they have not
appeared to be making much progress
toward the Turkish capital.
To the rear OF the Chatalja defenses
all accounts indicated shocking con-
ditions, with thousands dying OF star

Constantinople Scene
Of Starvation and
Dreaded Diseases

COESTANTSA, Roumania, Nov. H.
Unless the struggle about CONSTANT
nople Is brought to speedy termina-
tion there will be such an epidemic
there as modern times have never seen.
according to messages today from the
stricken city.
Not only has 1t been established defn-
itely that the disease. which recently
broke out among the Turkish soldiers
is Asiatic cholera. but smallpox has
made Its appearance. Typhus has been
raging for SINE time. The epidemcs
were all reported today as spreading
rapidly. Cholera has also broken out
among the Bnlgarians at Chatalja.
Conditions inside the Turkish capital
city walls were described In the latest
dispatches as almost unbelievably
dreadful. People were dying by the
thousands, II was said. of disease
wounds received In battle and sheer
starvation.
City Always Unsanitary.
The Turkish capital. always as un-
sanitary as a sewerless, almost totally
uncaredfor city of 1850 900 can be, has
been completely neglected since the
war broke out The street dogs, which
formerly served as scavengers, were
banished some months ago from the
community and fifth has accumulated

passable The odor from this enormous
accumulation of decaying animal and
vegetable matter covers the town like

ceptible for miles.
With the usual food supply prac-
tically cut off, the population has been
living, too. for days on rotten fruit and
vegetables. the foulest carrion. and.
finally, almost nothing at all.
The troops at the front are as hard
pressed for food as the wretChed nom
combatants and wounded inside the
capital. One message today stated that
when small shipment of flour actually
was received at Chatalja the famished
soldiers ripped open the bags and stuff
ed the raw flour into their mouths in
handfuls.
Hundreds Have Starved.
Hundreds of men are dead In the
trenches. 1t was asstrted, untouched by
the enemy's bullets. but literally starved

Rlundcrs of Royal Authors.

Royal authors sometimes need q
deal OF editing. A glaring instance is
Frederick the Great, whose spelling
and punctuation astounded Carlyle,
says the London Chronicle. "A steure'
for "a cette heure' was specimen OF
the former, "and as tor punctuation,
he never could understand the mys-
terry OF it; he merely scatters few
commas and dashes as if they were
shaken out of a pepper box upon his
page and so leaves it.
How, asks Carlyle, can such sloven-
Illness be explained in king who
"would have ordered arrest for the
smallest speck OF mud on a mans buff
belt, indignant that any pipe clayed
portion of man should not be per-
fectly pipe clayed?" lie can only con-
clude that Frederick really cared lit
tie about literature after all. Also
"he never minded snuff upon his own
chin, not even upon his waistcoat and
breeohes." 81 am king and above
