TURKISH WAR
NEARING END
Big Battle Ends In Triumph for
Bulgars.
TURKS TO SUE FOR PEACE.
Great Turkish Army OF 100000 Men
Defeated and Routed-unexpected
Climax OF One OF the Most Re-
markable Wars On Record.
THE POWERS PREPARING
TO ACT.

European governments reported
to have reached tentative agree
ment for Intervention.
The powers will not tolerate the
entry Of Bulgarian or any other
Balkan troops into Constantinople.
The second division Of the fly
ing squadron of the French fleet
sailed from Toulon to the Syrian
= coast to protect French and
foreign interests.
Great Britain has dispatched
warship to Salonika for protection
of British life and property.
Sir Edward Grey, British foreign
minister, announced in the House
of Commons that soon as the sit
uation permitted the powers would
take steps to establish peace,
The danger of antiforeign dis
turbances and perhaps massacres
of foreigners in Constantinople
and Salonika following the Turk

those towns of the demoralized
Turkish soldiery has attracted at
tention of the powers.

Thrace has ended in the triumph O.
the Bulgarian commander-in-chief
General Sayoff, whose skilful strategy
has probably brought to close one
of the shortest and most remarkable
wars on record
A great Turkish army, estimated a.
more than 100000 men, has been de
feated and is in retreat. CONSTANT
nople is believed to be at the mercy
of the victorious Bulgarian army, ant
a council, sitting at the Porte, is dis
cussing the advisability of suing fol
peace.
Such is the news which comes from
Constantinople.
It is only fortnight since Turkey
declared war. The first week of the
campaign closed with the dramatic
fall of -kilisseh, fully revealing
for the first time the disorganization
bad morale and inefficient commits
sariat Of the Turkish army. Today
that army is defeated routed within
so miles from Constantinople, ant
possibly its retreat within, the CAPT
tails line of defense is cut off.
Nazim Pasha, the Turkish minister
of war and chief in command ii
Thrace, has been either shot or taker
prisoner, according to a dispatch from
Sofia to the Post.
Only the briefest and vaguest &C
counts Of the great battle have YET
been received, for the war has beer
especially remarkable in that not 8
single war correspondent has beer
allowed at the front except in the case
of the little Montenegro campaign
against Scutari.
Thus no Independent personal mar
ratives of the absorbing events have
been possible, and the world has haG
to depend on biased officiah accounts
provided by the respective govern
ments or confused details supplied by
soldiers. I
It is believed peace settlement
will be arranged either by the Porte
suing for peace or through interyen
ton of the powers.

norship. The Cincinnati Enquirer
proposes to take straw vote in West
Virginia, and J. V. Sullivan, of Char
lesion, political writer for that jour
nal will be in charge of the arrange
ments
Mr. Sullivan said that the straw
vote would be taken through staff
men and local correspondents, as well
as canvassers, and that eyeryeprecau-
ton would be taken to guard against
improper voting.
In the taking of the straw vote, of
flee buildings, factories, mills, thoat-
res, mercantile establishments and
other assemblages of representative
voters will be visited. Blank ballots

Cascarets Tonight

No odds how bad your liver, stom-
ach or bowels how much your head
aches, how miserable and uncomfort
able you are from constipation, indi-
gestion, bilousness and sluggish in
testines-you always get the desired
results with Cascarets and quickly,
too.
Don't let your stomach, liver and
bowels make you miserable. Take
Cascarots tonight; put an end to the
headache, biliousness, dizziness, nerv-
BUSINESS, sick, sour, gassy stomach,
backache and all other distress;
cleanse your inside organs of all the
bile, gases and constipated matter
which is producing the misery.
A 10-cent box means health, happi-

more days of gloom and distress if
you will take a Cascaret now and then.

forget the children-their little in
sides need good, gentle cleansing,
