 . No collective plan of the great powers to bring about a peaceful solution Of the crisis is yet in sight. For the mo- ment they are using pressure individu- ally.
 That Bulgaria, Servia, Greece and Mon tenegro have agreed to mobilize their armies and act together against Turkey is the statement made today by Dr. Stan cioff, the Bulgarian minister here, In an interview published in the Temps.
 This is an historic event of great world import he continued, saying that Bulgaria's financial situation was good and that the funds in the treasury were ample to sustain war.
 The Balkan powers, he said, were confi- dent that the world would welcome the new concert because it puts into action counsels long ago offered by the powers which had as their sole motive the ameioration of the intolerable condition of Christians in European Turkey.
 The Greek and Servian ministers con firmed the accord and Seclared that their countrymen would no longer stand the aSBresSiOn ol lulhey. ihey were ieduy to make any sacrifice to help their Christian brethren under Ottoman domin- ation.
 The Turkish ambassador to France, Rifaat Uacha, said:
 Turkey has no intention of permit ting the Balkan states to interfere in its international affairs and it cannot be overawed by mobilizations.'
 He hoped a way would be found to prevent war, but admitted that his op- timism was faltering.

Italian Programme Not Mapped Out

Rome, October 1.-Italy's programme in event of war in the Balkans has not yet been fully mapped out. It is known, however, that the Italian navy will play prominent role, in directly aid ing the Balkan coalition by preventing Turkey from moving troops out of Asia Minor to the probable scene of hostil- ities. To this end the Italian fleet will keep its full strength in the vicinity of the Aegean sea, thus effectually cut ting off sea communication between Turkey and her provinces in Asia
 To move troops from Asia Minor to- ward Macedonia by land it is said prob ably would be beyond the resources available to the Turkish government In any case it would entail q delay which would prove a blighting handi- cap.

DIXON ID TESTIFY
 BEFORE COMMITTEE
Issues Statement Attacking Source of Underwood
 Campaign Fund

New York, October Limited States Senator Joseph M. Dixon, chairman of the progressive campaign commission, left for Washington tonight to appear be- fore the Senate committee Investigating campaign contributions.
 ''I am going to make them put the cards on the table" declared Senator Dixon. q am not going to let them make it appear that Theodore Roosevelt ac- cepted large campaign contributions from corporations and people who contributed for favors. I will force them to sub poena Charles r. Taft, Charles D. Hilles, George Harvey, William c. McAdoo and William r. McCombs. If they refuse to call the men I name I will convict that committee of the cheapest petty larceny game that has ever been played on the American people.
 There are q thousand plutocrats be- hind Wilson and Taft. and because a couple of wealthy men gave money to Roosevelt's campaign, they are institute ing this Investigation. After they get through with Roosevelt, they will ad- journ, or try to adjourn without trying lO DiiDE phi tHt SoH'to oi iit " hcoi and Taft contributions"
 The senator asserted he would ask the committed to call the managers for Oscar w. Underwood and Champ Clark and Governor Harmon.
 "The Seaboard Air Line and the Southern Pacific gave up for Under woods pre-convention campaign, and I am going to give to the committee the name of the man that tapped the till' for Underwood,' declared the senator.

Mr.. Brown:
Dear Sir thought would drop
you few lines to let you know that
we are we'll and in a land of sunshine
and flowers. We left Alma the 18th
and arrived at Jacksonville the 10th.
Jacksonville has 10000 inhabitants
and is a rich city, a good many
wealthy people live there and have
built beautiful homes. The soil is
very poor We attended the Jack
sonville fair which was held at the
ostrich and alligator farm. There
were 200 ostriches and 500 alligators
at the farm. The fruit they displayed
was fine; some OF the lemons weighed
~ pounds. The ostriches weighed
as much as $50 pounds; some were
used for driving and some for driv-
ing. The fair was not much like
ours in Gratiot county
We left Jacksonville the 25th and
went $50 miles south TO Orlando,
where we will make our headquarters
Tor the winter; it is beautiful place
We can almost reach oranges on the
trees from our windows, they have
the largest crop of oranges and grape
fruit this year they ever had. 1t is
as pretty a ,ight as ever saw to
see the trees loaded with the yellow
fruit and drak green foliage. The
oranges are as plentiful as apples IN
