TURKS FALL
BACK BEFORE
The BALKANS
Dispatches From East Indicate
Continued Success Of
Allied Troops
RUSSIA WILL KEEP
OUT OF THE TROUBLE
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
LONDON. Oct Successes by
the Balkan allies against Turkey
we're indicated by all dispatches from
the near East today Most adyices
were from anti-Turkish sources and
most have exaggerated the adyan-
tages of the allies Though there has
been considerable sanguinary skir-
mshing, nothing Of the proportions Of
real battle has occurred.
Military experts are expressing
surprise that the Turks, after taking
the initiative in declaring war. should
show so little energy in opposing the
enemys advance into the Sultan's
territories.
Reports of the Bulgarians' capture
OF Mustapha Pasha, on the Turkish
side OF the frontier. we're generally
accepted as true. A strong detach-
ment of Servians, Il was learned from
reliable sources. was marching across
the Sanjak or Novibazar Turkish
soil-to aid the Montenegrins who
have invaded Northern Albania. The
Greek invasion of Turkey was said
thus far TO have been unopposed.
That the Servians have captured
Pristina, was doubted. ever for the
simple reason that it is almost i'm
possible that they have been able
even by forced marches to penetrate
so far into Turkey from the from
tier.
Desperate fighting was reported be-
tween Turkish troops and the COM
bined Bulgarian and Servian forces
advancing on Uskub OF its result
nothing has been learned. The
Turks we're said to be holding out
against the Montenegrins at Ccutari
and to have captured the town of
Blajevo, just within the Servian from
tier.
Nazim Pasha. Turkish Minister of
War. started for the front today ac-
cording TO a message from CONSTANT
nople, accompanied by big retinue
of foreign military observers and
correspondents.
The Turkish war Office has is
sued an indignant denial Of the re-
port that II is planning TO use typhus,
/ typhoid and cholera germs against
the enemy. The Turkish surgeons
are simply provided with serums for
inoculation of their own troops
against disease The war Office
charged that the alleged falsehood
was deliberately given circulation by
the Greek government
The capture of Mosiapha Pasha by
Servian troops was confirmed this az
ternoon. The town was occupied fol-
lowing a hot fight with the Turks.
international tension was some
what relieved today by an official
statement from Foreign Minister
Sazonoff. of Russia 10 the effect that
the Car has received satisfactory as
surance Of Austria's neutrality in the
Balkans and that Russia consequently
does not expect to be involved in the
troubles there.

WANT $500
LICENSE FEE
ON SALOONS
Business Men Object, HOWs
ever, to $500 Increase Un-
der Existing Trade
Conditions
STATE, CITY AND COUNTY
WOULD DIVIDE THE MONEY

A question of vital interest was dis
cussed yesterday at the meeting of
the State Revenue and Taxation Com1
mission and a delegation of retail
liquor dealers OF Wilmington. Fon
some years there has been q demand
that portion of the liquor license
fees paid by the saloonkeepers oe
Wilmington be turned into the treas4
ury of this city. The entire amount<
aggregating thousands of dollars, ID
now paid In the State treasury. In
order 10 meet this demand the State
Revenue and Taxation Commission ia
oontrlying to increase the license feq
so that the cities and towns OF tho
State will benefit and not the Stats
alone
AT yesterdays meeting the suggesA
tion came from one member OF the
revenue board that the license fee ba
raised from $500 TO $500. of the in4
crease, 5000 to go to the city or towns
$50 to the county and $50 to the STATED
BY this arrangement the State treas1
ury will receive $50 in addition TO that
which it already receives. This
Board member stated that the liqu0f
dealers Of Wilmington pay less lis
cense than those OF any other city ln
this section of the country.
Liquor dealers al the meeting wcra
opposed TO any increase under exists
ing conditions They contend that tha
license they receive is limited, and
! that for the business they do they
are paying sufficient tox for thu
privilege they enjoy. They say the
government allows them to sell in
quantities up to within a fraction OF
five gallons and the State forbida
them to sell more than quart to be
/ drunk off the premises
George w. Sparks. chairman of the
Board suggested that I'm return for
ltho increased license the liquor deal
ers be allowed to sell up to three
i gallons of whiskey and up to one and
i One-half boxes of beer. This II a
sort OF go between the present retail
license and the license granted to
wholesale dealers. The Merchants
license allows the sale of five gallons
of whiskey up TO one barrel Of beer
Some Of the liquor dealers favored the
increase in the license fee. provided
the applicant for license Is given a
merchants license In addition TO his
retail license. and then compel only
those who desire the merchants IL
cense to pay the additional fee. They
oppose making all the liquor dealers
pay the proposed increase, as some
may not have use for il. I'm other
words the liquor dealers say LOT the
dealer who wants the merchants Ii
cense apply for it and pay the in-
crease suggested. and should he find
at the end Of the year that he has
no need for Il. apply thereafter only
for the retail license. and pay what
he now pays, $500
The board took no action.
