Uses His Influence to Restrain
Austrian Precipitancy.
fBy cable TO The Tribune.


London. Nov. 11.-Kaiser Wllhelm's
vigorous effort TO avert a European
war is the subject Of kilograms from
special correspondents Of two Of the
leading London newspapers to-day.
"Reputedly fond OF war and on the
qui vive for a chance 10 practise It."
telegraphed the correspondent OF THE
Times" in Sofia, the Kaiser Is using
his influence in the present European
crisis all on the side Of peace. But
for his counsel Austria would have oc-
cupied the Sanjak OF Novipazar by the
middle of October and otherwise APP
piled force to modify the course Of
events which subsequently rolled up

ACTIVITY IN VIENNA
Austria -Hungary's Position Is
Summed Up in Four Points.

Vienna. Nov. 11.-Symptoms that I'M
portant decisions in connection with
the Balkan situation are under con-
alteration in Austria Hungary are seen
in the fact of the frequent audiences
between Count Won Berchtold. the
Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister
and Emperor Francis Joseph, who mas
also several times conferred with the
War Minister and the chief Of the gen
eral STAFF of the Austro-Hungarlah
army.
To these significant occurrences are
added the arrival at Budapest OF Arch-
duke Francis Ferdinand, the heir TO
the Austro- Hungarian throne, and HIS
forthcoming visit to the German En-
peror as we'll as yesterdays CONFER
ence between DR.. s. Daneff, the Presi-
dent of the Bulgarian Chamber OF
Deputies, and Count Won Berchtoid' ana
subsequently with the German Am
bassador at Vienna.
DR.. Daneff, who. before leaving bu'-
garia, was received by King FerdinanI'
and while passing through Servia eau
audiences with King Peter and Premier
Pachich, is believed to be the bearer
of proposals connected with the diff
Guilty in regard to Servia's desire for
an Adriatic port. He is also supposed
to be empowered to make speciai
agreement with Austria Hungary con-
corning Bulgarian interests and Ru'
manian claims.
A local newspaper, the Som ind
Montags Zeitung," sums up the POSI-
ton Of Austria H hungary in the Balkan
question in the following four points:
First. Assured and unrestricted facil-
tiles for access to the Eastern markets
and free commercial transit to Salon
| Tea.
Second: The integrity Of Albania.
Third The protection Of Austria
Hungary's political interests by the
creation Of local relations with Servia
and the exclusion Of political antag-
| onisfn.
Fourth: Compensation for Rumania.

velopment of the Balkan war holds the
field at the moment, there being APP
parently a lull in the fighting. Impor-
tant conferences have taken place In
Budapest, where there have been fire.
quent audiences between Count Berch-
told. Austrian Foreign Minister with
the war minister, the chief Of staff OF
the army and the veteran Emperor
himself. The heir apparent TO the
Austrian throne has also visited the
Hungarian capital prior to his de-
parture for Berlin to meet the Emperor
William.
Although diplomatic quarters in vi
emma have by no means abandoned the
hope Of a peaceful settlement, It ap-
pears certain that Austria insists on
minimum demands, which include the
integrity OF Albania, and that she will
enforce her will by all the means at
her disposal.
Austria confidently reckons on the
support of her allies, and the Arch
duke Ferdinand's visit to Berlin has
doubtless TO do with this. 1t may be
also that through German channels a
last appeal or offer may be made to
Russia, the power which will prove the

Son of Roberts Organizer Says
Turks Favor Institution.

Although Cleveland II. Dodge president
Of the board OF trustees Of Robert College,
Constantinople, did not receive cable
dispatch yesterday from DR.. Charles F.
Gates. president Of that institution, as he
had expected, a cable message was re-
ceived by Professor A. ID. F. Hamlin, Of
Columbia University, from John Muller
superintendent of construction at Robert

DR.. Gates, Il was said at the office Of Mr..
Dodge that ne had not sent $4,000 or more
by cable as he had intended doing, but
would forward the money to-day whether
he heard or not. At the Commercial
Cable Office II was said all messages were
delayed forty-eight hours or more.
Professor Hamlin said the message from
John Muller, who was graduated from the
Columbia School Of Architecture and was
formerly a pupil of Professor Hamlin, was
filed on Saturday night and was In re-
gard to construction work on the college
HE didn't say g word about any fears

that the Turkish people are down on the

Paris, Nov. 11.-"For the whole OF
Europe to be plunged into war simply
over the question whether Servia shall
have a port on the Adriatic is an
eventuality too monstrous to be enter
tanned" This quotation from one OF the
leading newspapers here fairly sums up
Europe's attitude toward the Balkan dan
ger.
All the diplomatic pressure possible VIII
be exerted in Vienna. Belgrade and ST.
Petersburg to induce the adoption OF con-
ciliatory policies at what Is regarded as
this critical moment for European peace.
The reports that Russia has extended
the time of service of her soldiers and Is
not granting any requests for leave made
by her army officers In the district or
Warsaw, together with the fact that
Austria Hungary is strengthening the
garrisons Of the provinces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, are regarded as disturbing
factors during the present European ten
sion.
The suggestion by the British Premier,
Mr.. Asquith. that all specific questions,
such as the distribution Of ports on the
Adriatic should be postponed finds great
favor in France, where 1t is thought that
II such subsidiary problems can be rele-
gated to the future the danger OF
European conflict will have passed.
Advices reaching here from Belgrade
this morning confirm the report that the
exposition Of the Austro- Hungarian point
OF view TO Premier PaChich of Servia by
the Austrian Minister contained nothing
of the character of an ultimatum. Pre-
mier Pachich was 10 leave to-day Tor

I'VE have witnessed the failure OF
the Turk as a soldier. We have SEEN
him dying Of hunger, worn ou' ~

wars in history, without food WITHOUT
medical attention, almost without

piece Of Irvine.
Il saw long lines Of famished men,
who came TO our tent begging for 6

without a murmur Of complaint wnen
told that we had none to give. saw
a thousand wounded leaving a trail or
blood as they dragged themselves
toward Tchorlu. 1 saw hundreds OF
Others fall by the wayside, dying from
wounds and fatigue.
AT Tchorlu a column of soldiers,
terrible in appearance, staggered
through the streets in a driving ram
and wind storm. No one paid any at
tention to them. They had no shelter
nothing to eat. From a nearby bakery
an officer threw out handfuls OF oreau'
and the soldiers fought for possession
of the loaves. More than half OF them
got nothing, and turned away ragged
pallid and weak.
IAN the houses were closed. Pracu-
cally all the population had fed anu
those who remained barricaded them
selves within, trembling with fear. Inc
soldiers knocked vainly at the oarreo
doors. Groups shivering in the cola
tried the doors of stables to seek
refuge; even the stables remained In
hospitable. Refugees smashed their
way into shops and devoured all they
found. including raw vegetables and
candles, and sucked at pieces OF greasy
wood

wanderers succeeded in getting into a

from Asia Minor and had not eaten

went away to join the remnants OF the
retreating army, of which this was the
end
Thus did the Turkish soldier appear
TO me. He seemed TO have no under
standing of the great drama in which
he was participating. But his infinite
misery and his horrible animal distress
were enough to break ones heart.
II do not know whether the accusa-
tons of a massacre are exact but so
far as 1 have observed I can affirm that
not only have the Turks committed no
excuses, but believe that no army in
the world under such frightful circum-
stances would have been more mod
crate, more docile."
