TURKS srARvE TO DEATH

London, Nov 5-Tho1lsands of Turk ish soldiers are starving to death, it was stated today in. dispatches from the Balkans. From the beginning of the campaign the Ottoman troops were on short raJtionS. With the defeat at Kirk Kilisseh the food supply dwin- died to almost nothing. During the retreat from Lule Burgas to Chatalja the men were dependeaIt wholly upon what -tfleg eplzsd fora'se.
 Fora81ag in eastern Turkey for the past week has been like licking a clean plate. The country was swept clear of everything edible early in the cam paign.
 The defenders of the Chatal5a de- lenses, it was said. are able to get sufficient provisions from Constanti- nople barely to keep life in their bod ies. Scattered groups of Sultan s broken force to a total running hi gh into the thousands, are still wander ing among the hills between the Bull garian frontier and the Turkish cap ital. The retreat of these parties to- ward Constantinople is olH off by the Bulgarians. Many of the fugi-

ROOSEVELT RAPS ROOT
 AFTER DEPOSTTING BALLOT
Ex-Preident Found Way to Cast His Ballot Despite Claim That HetWas
 Not Registered.

Oyster Bay, Nov 5rAfter a. busy morning at his correspondence Col Roosevelt was driven in his automo- bile to the polling place at the little engine house at Oyster Bay, arriving there at minutes after 12 o'clock. With him in the machine were James and Ralph Ames, his body servants, Howard Brooks and Charles Lee, the Roosevelt 6ach1nen, William Bailey and William Carl, gardensrH, and Ar thur Merriam, his chauffeur. ,. William Gardner, former gardenersa at Sagarn ore Hill, who came from Canals tote, arrived few minutes later the booth by Robert W. Duyan, young lawyer
 Do you know how to vote the bull moose ticket?'s asked DuvaI1, showing the colonel a sample ballot.
 s'I think so,'' said the progressive candidate, examining the ballot close 1y.
 Followed by crowd of villagers, half dozen photographers and the members of his party, the colonel en- tered the polling place and signed the book
 His ballot was number 265.
 Here goes another bull moose vote" someone shouted as the colonel, snail- ing broadly, entered the booth. It took him just four minutes to mark his bal lot Then he posed for several flash lights and as the last explosion died away, he said:
 Last call for the barbecue'' refer ring to the annual election celebration a. Oyster Bay, tonight. Still followed by the crowd, Roosevelt went back to his auto, where he waited while the members of his household cast their ballots. Joseph French. the poll clerk, explained the nnisconception as to Roosevelt's vote.
 Last spring, the colonel didn't reg ister for the primaries because there was no progressive party on the books then,'' said French, "this is what created the belief that Roosevelt had no vote. This morning, when he sign ed the book he had a perfectly legal right to cast his ba1lot.''
 Before leaving for home. the colonel three other lawyers who criticised him for his stand against the court of ap- pea1s.
 eff they had come out with their statement thirty days ago I would have hammered them out of the ring, he declared.
 s0T'hey saved it up until the last min ute in the hope that would not be able to answer them. But, by George. I did have the chance. last night, and think I answered pretty well and what's more, the matter is not ended yet The attitude of these four men shows that they and the people who are behind them are standing against the people of the country. They are fighting against the very principle that the progressives are fighting for
 The colonel said he expected to spend a quiet day at home. The colonel will remain at Saganore Hill until Friday, when he expects to go to New York for days work at the Outlook office.

noodA hour, which was somewhat in creased by the ightness of the early morning vote, and at press hour all indications pointed to record vote.
 The Bull Moose party was able to have party checkers at the polls to- day through an arrangement made with the Registrars of Voters, the checkers being furnished by the Pro gressives without cost to the city in any way. Only the Republican and Democratic checkers get paid for their work today. Checkers were the only election officials allowed the Bull Moose. When the voting machines were opened at 6 o'clock this morn ing the Progressives were allowed the privilege of having their district chairmen present to see that the ma chimes worked all right.
 Reports came into Bull Moose head quarters of trouble in only two dis tricts. In the Sixth and Tenth dis tricts the Bull Moose party lever worked hard and the machinfsts were called to remedy the condition. which was done. In the First dis trict the overhead lever worked hard on one of the machines and required some assistance from the election of fcials outside the machines The lever was working all right at noon time.

 Berlin, Nov. 5.-The Turkish gov foreign office, today, that if the Bull garians enter ConstantinOple it will be Impossible to prevent an anti Christian uprising, it was stated on seni-officia1 authority here The Sultan therefore, renewed his appeal to the Kaiser to use his influence with the Balkan allies to agree to an arnistice.
 Germany is the one power which has not frowned on Turkeys efforts to make a cessation in hoStilities pre- cedes an offer of concessions to the allies The Father1and alone can ac- complish nothing however so there was no prospect that the. latest ap- peal from ConstantinopIe will have any better result than the earlier
 The sultan's virtual admission that he cannot control his enraged Mo hamm edan subjects was considered extremely oninous. The powers were ali rtssfling vvarships to Turkish wa fern fodag,ato protect foreigners but there are many who will surely be rraJble to reach the seaports where inc ffrffing craft will anchor.

It was even runored that the qualifications had been captured and that CzAr Ferdinand'S forces were scattering the broken Turkish army preparatory to beginning their final 25 mile dash to the capital.
 While the story that the Chatalja defenses have actually been captured was questioned, there seemed 10 doubt that the Bulgarians were as- saultiAg them furiously.

LAWRENCE. Mass. Jan. 20.-With
four additional companies OF militia
on hand here today. and most of the
skilled labor in the various mills join
ing the strikers. the situation in the
textile industry is most serious. The
bringing in of the reinforcements fol-
lowed an official statement by Presi-
dent Wood. of the American Woolen
Company. that trade conditions for
bid any wage increase at this time.
This statement was interpreted to
mean that the company will refuse
to compromise and that they will at
once make an effort TO resume opera
tions.
If strike breakers are imported, as
is thought to be likely, real trouble
will come. While the strike leaders
are opposing rioting it is admitted
that the importation of outsiders will
probably inflame the rank and file so
that they cannot be controlled.
The strikers absolutely believe in
the justice of their demands and will
resist outsiders attempting to fill
their places. Realization of the feel
ing was responsible for ordering into
the city the additional troops.
Strike headquarters issued a state
ment today saying that the ranks of
the workers are intact and that ar
rangements have been made to care
for all strikers for an indefinite
period.
