Vienna, oct. 1O How would the

query is prompted by comparison
as far as comparison is possible with
the details available Of the military
forces Of the two countries. the war
like attributes Of the Bulgarians leave
no room for doubt as to their courage,
but the forces which the Turks, the
oretically, at any rate, have at their
command are very great
The last few years, it is true, have
seen a considerable advance in the eff
fectiveness 0 fthe Bulgarian army Its
organization on really sound lines was
first undertaken by Russian officers
from 1879 to 1885. Bulgarian peasants
make excellent soldiers. They are flIl
OF fight, obedient, and not easily
daunted by the hardships of war. The
application OF modern military science
to these qualities has gone far to-
wards bringing the army UP to the
higher continental standard. Moreov-
er, the complete organization nf lhe
staff, and the painstaking keenness OF
the officers, trained at the Sofia Mill
tary school, have not been without
their effect on the men of the lower
ranks.
Military service is compulsory In
Bulgaria save to the Moslems, uhc
may purchase exemption for $109 and
the conditions are arducus. The ar

force, with an active reserve, a re-
serve force and the militia, and while,
in times of peace, only the active ar

latter may be used only for purposes
of defense within the frontier.

Houston, Tex, Oct 1O.-The great

tinguished scientists from various
parts of the world at the institute and
at the Majestic theater.
Probably never before in the history
of this country has the Inauguration
Of a new Institution Of learning been
marked by so large a gathering Of
famous men Of science and a series OF
inaugural lectures of equal import
ance, as the opening and dedication Of
the William NJ Rice institute, founded
with the millions left by the late
William NJ Rice, a former citizen of
Houston, who was murdered in New
York City on September 23, 1900 The
list Of lectures scheduled on the pro-
grams for the Inauguration exercises

Emile Borel of Paris: Senator Bene-

Professor Vito volterra of Rome and
several other distinguished scientists.
William M. Marsh, whose name will
be perpetuated by this great institu-
ton of learning, was formerly a resi-
dent Of Houston. He had made great
fortune in this state and, recognizing
the educational needs of this section
Of the south, he conceived the plan
of founding a great chronological in
stitute in this city More than ten
years before his death Mr.. Rice laid
the foundation for his plan, which, at
first, contemplated merely a training
school with an endowment of $780,
900. AS he elaborated mis- plans, he
became more and more interested in
the subject and added to the proposed
endowment, until, short time before

To this total must be added the men

Much money has been spent in arm
aments during the two years in which
the reorganization Of the Turkish ar
my has been in progress. The en-
pire is divided into seven military dis
tricts and last year the reorganiza-
ton of the forces into IA army corps
began In all there are AZ divisions,
some Of them with ten battalions in
peace and 13 in war, and others with
seven in peace and ten in war.
In times of supreme necessity all
males up to the age of 70 years can
be called on to join the colors, and re-
cruits liable to service are divided in
to the Nizam, or regular army, the
Redif, and the Mustahfiz, the period
of service being three years in the
first, with six in the reserve; nine
years in the second, and two years in
the third.
The Nizam has % divisions, with
357 battalions; 20 cavalry brigades,
with 2O7 squadrons, and 16 artillery
brigades. with 271 batteries. These
troops are said to number 100000 with
10000 as reserve; while the Redif
and Mustahfiz number between 600, ,0Op
and 100000. The troops are armed
with Mauser repeating and Hartini-
Henry rifles; while the artillery, com
posed entirely OF the Nizam, or reg
ulary army, has guns of various Krupp
types.
The very close attention which Tur
key has been paying recently to the
subject Of its army will probably, in
the course Of time, have the desired
effect in the establishment Of land
force as efficient and powerful as it
is numerous. But Turkey has much
work to do before that end is attained,
and meanwhile it remains to be seen
whether her striking-power is any
thing near so great as the vastness
