TURKS DRIVEN BACK
Sofia Report Tells Of 100 Mos,
lem Prisoners Taken.

London. oct. 20-A Sofia dispatch
says that the Bulgarian forces operat-
ing against AdrianopIe have driven the
Turks back to the forts forming the
outer line of the defences, taking one
prisoners.
In replying to telegram from his
Cabinet King Ferdinand sent the fol-
lowing message to-day:
IMPRESSED az ! have always been with
profound confidence In the. Bulgarian
star. / am now convinced that our in
comparable and valiant army, sprung
from a people like the BulgarianS whose
self-saCrihCe for their national Ideals IS
without equal in history Will hEht ana
DESTROY the eternal enemy Of the But
garlan race. Our brothers from the other
side Of the RilO-Dagh and Rhodope
Mountains will at last receive light from
the aurora Of liberty. Long live the
valiant and victorious Bulgarian army,
Long live the valorOus Bulgarian people
From both ConstantinOple and Sofia are
issued constant denials OF successes
claimed by the respective opponents. For
instance, an Official statement comes to-
might from Sofia declaring that all the
rcported Turkish invasiOns of Bulgarian
territory are pure inventions. while On
the previous day the Turkish government
took occasion 70 deny the capture OF d
large number Of Turkish troops Dy the
Montencgrins al Tushi.
This campaign OF misrepresentation has
become so serious that the authorities at
Sofia have issued a decree threatening
summary punishment by martial law to
those who circulate such inventions.

GRIM DAYS FOR BALKANS
Christian Missionaries Fear
CrueIIeSt War of Century.
UNITED AGAINST TURKEY
Little States Forget Personal
Differences to Meet the
Moslem Invaders.

Americans have invested in Christian
work IN the Balkans, imperilled by the
war, from 100000 to 100000 and are
sending $1,000 year into that region,
chiefly for education on Christian lines.
The largest part of this money is given
by the Dodge, James and Kennedy fami-
lies, Of this city.
The Rev. Dr.. John II. House. president
Of the Agricultural and Industrial Inst-
tute, at Salonica, IS now in New York to
confer with American supporters.
The war Will be one of the most ter
rible of modern wars, I fear" he said
yesterday. 1T Will be terrible because
Of the great armies put into the field and
because Of its bloody character. It IS to
be feared that the hatred between Chris
tans and MOslems, existing for hundreds
Of years. will lead TO unheard-of cruel
ties, such crueltes as are said to have
characterized the Russo-Turkish war Of
lS17-'78
"a remarkable thing about this war is
the harmony among the four small king
doms and the alliance which it has made
possible. ! went TO Turkey in 1872, and
during these forty years It is the first
time these people have been allied. Bull
garians and Greeks have been bitter foes.
Greece has esteemed herself entitled to
Macedonia and Bulgaria has done the
same, because the largest part Of the
Christian population Of Macedonia are
Bulgars.
Friends Of both countries have urged
compromise in vain. Then there has been
great bitterness between the Scrvlans and
the Bulgars. although they are sister
Slavic peoples. The reasons were the
rival claims to Turkish territory and the
fact that both peoples have had kings
who ruled most of the Balkan country.
The Montcnegrirs and Srrviaus are united
by blood ties, both being Scrvians.
THE immediate causes Of the war are
the recent massacrcs Of Christians i'm
Kotchava and Isub-fn these cases Bull
Earians-but there have been reported
massacres OF Servlans in Berana and
Sienitza. The real cause is the misgov-
eminent Of the provinces Of Europe n
view OF the Treaty OF Berlin which or
dained autonomous government for Mace.

From a STAFF Correspondent Of The TriDune.l
Beverly. Mass, oct 2O.-The President
made the following statement tonight
I'm regard IL the estimates OF election In

william Barnes, j..
am very much pleased TO receive estl-
mates from the chairman OF the Rcpub-
Iicau state Committee OF New York ~ 10
the vote to be cast on November next.
The reliability Of these estimates ana oil
the system i'm use in taking them has
beeu demonstrated I'm all Of the cam
paigns for the fifteen years last past.
I'm 1908 they were within l5,OVO of the
actual majority | received, and they
showed the Hughes vote almost as cast
I'm 1904 they were equally reliable on
the Roosevelt and Higgins vote.
The figures given me by the committee
are from Canvasses completed In 40
election districts out Of total of 3,lO5
outside of greater New York. They show:
Candidate Total Candidate Total

The committee reports that this ratio

 All players will be tucked into their little beds by II every night. There shall be no drinking or gambling and the strictest discipline will have to be obeyed by the members of the team New rules will be made about the condition of the uniforms, the keeping of Appointments with man ager and captain. Umpire batting will not be resorted to under any circum- stances. In short, the club will be revolutionized says Cameron, or he will go out of the business.
 There will be 30 recruits to be giv- ru a try out at the Prairie and out of these Cameron has many a prom isinE youngster.

PRINCETON HOCKEY TEAM
 HAS MADE GREAT RECORD

Princeton's hockey fans are not wor- ried over the fact that the Tigers lose four members of their championship seven by graduation in June. Even though the 1912 title team will be bro- ken up, nevertheless the Jerseymen n feel confident that Capt Hobey BaE ker will give the Orange and Black an other winning team Baker himself feels confident that next year vii! find the Tigers well up in hockey, prov;c1- ing he is lucky with his men. Three men of this years seven are available together with several promising sub stitutes.
 This was probably Princeton's best year in hockey. The team did unus- nally well; in fact if Capt. Baker next year can product as strong a seven a s this years it is quite likely that Princeton will take another hockey ti- tie. Princeton played ten games this year and lost two, both of these be- ing outside affairs.
 The other two veterans, besides Ba- ker, who form the nucleus for next years seven are w. s. Kuhn and T. K. Emmons. All three are sopho- mores and form a good backbone for the varsity for the next two years. Hockey men declare that Baker is the ''swiftest thing on ice," above the average college player, and on a par with many of the amateur Hockey League stars.
