AMERICAN PRINCESS
WILL HELP BULGARS;
PRINCE WITH TURKS

BELGRADE, Nov. "a fine touch of
romance has been infused by the Amer
lean Princess Hassan into the dreary
tale Of killed, wounded and massacred
in the Turko- Balkan war.
The princess has wired the Metro
politan Demetrius and the Red Cross
society that she has put herself at
the head of a cosmopolitan relief COM
mittee to help the Christians of the
Balkans.
The action of the princess, who for
merly was Miss Ola Humphrey. of Cali
fornia, is attracting widespread atten-
ton, especially as her husband, Prince
Hassan, went to Constantinople before
the war broke out to take a command
in the Sultans army. Prince Hassan
and his kinsman, the Khedive of Egypt
being Mussulmans, naturally sympa-
thize with Turkey and the prince Is
furious that his American wife should
help the Giaours as he calls the Chris
tians. His hatred of Christians is de-
sCribed as diabolical. The khedive also
resents the fight between the cross and
the crescent in his own family

GERMANY TRYING TO
PURCHASE A COALING
STATION FROM CHILE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-A report
received here from Punta Arenas
Chile, says that Germany is about to
acquire an island in the Magellan chan
mel to be used as a coaling station.
The German cruiser Bremen is now
engaged in exploring and surveying in
the vicinity. 1t is understood that
the visit is also connected with the
opening of the Panama canal and the
possibilities for German trade in South
America.
Senior Suarez, Chilean minister here
declared today that the report was
foolish. His country he added, was
not in the market selling coaling sta
tions to foreign governments, and
would be no more willing than the
United States to part with one of her
ports.
All the islands in the Strait of Ma
gellan are under the sovereignty of
Chile.
