MORE VICTORIES
OVER THE TURKS
Continued Fighting Along Turk
ish Frontier.
LIE PRISONERS MAssACRED.
Monteneerins Capture Forts That
Give Them Control Of the Road
To Soutari - Skirmishes
On Frontier.

London.-With the fighting on the
Turkish frontiers steadily increasing
and Montenegro winning decisive vic
tories, which will have the effect OF
greatly encouraging the other Balkan
States, the war situation is more seTi-
Gus now than at any time since the
beginning OF hostilities. The Monte
negrins have won more victories over
the Turks.
unconfirmed dispatches were re-
ceived here, saying that Seryia and
Bulgaria had declared war. Why
these countries are Withholding their
proclamations is q mystery in diplo-
matte circles, but this failure to act is
not construed as indicating any desire
for peace.
Official circles were stirred by the
direct prediction of a European con-
fiict made at St. Petersburg by the
Russian minister of war, NJ. Sucholli-
noff, who said:
The Balkan outbreak is the be-
ginning of a great European clash,
into which Russia inevitably will be
drawn"
The Montenegrins added the cap
ture of Turkish forts at Tuki to their
victories at Podgoritza and Detchitch
Mountain. The capture of the forts
gives the Montenegrins control of the
road to the town of Scutari. 1t was
reported that the MOntenegrins had
taken Scutari itself, but this was re-
garded as an error.
The fighting, according to dis
patches, has developed into the worst
kind of guerilla warfare Prisoners
are being massacred by both sides and
non-combatants are being slain with
out discrimination.
Several skirmishes are reported
from points along the Turko-Bul-
garian and TurkoServian frontiers.
lurking is bringing 100000 Asiatic
troops to Constantinople, which will
augment her European force to about
100000 men.
The Montenegro Consul General
here received the following official
message. from Cettinje:
Military operations continue sue
cessful Several important Turkish
positions taken already. Army ad-
vancing"
Unless Turkish reinforcements have
reached Scutari it is considered prob
able that that city will soon fall into
the hands of the Montenegrins. While
the way there has been opened, how
ever, it is pointed out that it may not
be passed without serious fighting, as
the Albanian tribesmen in the
vicinity have been aroused by Turk
ish emissaries and are expected to
join the Ottoman troops.

CROPS SUFFER IN
GREAT BRITAIN
Will Be Necessary to Import
From This Country.
STORMS CAUSED DAMAGE.
Storms Have Caused Great Damage
To Crops In a Number of
Foreign Countries, kc-
cording To Reports.

Washington.-Storm have caused
great damage to crops in a number Of
foreign countries. according to reports
to the Department of Agriculture, and
in some instances material importa-
tons from this country will be neces-
sary TO meet the deficiency. Great
Britain particularly suffered and there
the harvest has been one of the most
unsatisfactory in many years in quail
ity, quantity, expense and difficulty Of
reaping.
Spoiled hay lies upon thousands Of
acres of British saturated meadows,
vast expanses of standing grain have
fields Of shocked wheat are soaked
with rain and root crops are rank with
weeds. The barley crop has been
partly ruined; the oat crop has de-
Perforated more than any other cereal,
with a below-average yield; potatoes
have been blighted and hops alone
seem to promise almost full average
yield. Hay suffered most.
In Canada deficiency OF over g.,
100000 bushels of winter wheat is
ascribed almost entirely to the rigors
of winter and the quality of a large
proportion of the Ontario 1912 crop
has been materially impaired by wet
harvest weather Official indications
point to a slight decrease in the Cana
dian winter wheat yield. Rye produc-
tion is estimated at 3.1S6,000 bushels,
against 2.694,000 bushels last year.
The oat production is estimated at al
most 100000 bushels greater than
last year. Canadian hay and clover
yielded 100000 tons less in 1912 than
was figured in the preliminary esti
mate for 1911. Canadian alfalfa total
estimated production attained 1890
tons, compared with 227,900 pre-
liminary last year.
While the unusually Indictment
weather in France may not have seri-
ously diminished the grain yield there
as a whole, the quality has been ad-
versely affected. AS the French con
sumption requires over 340,000,000
bushels of wheat, and the carry over
from last year is exceptionally small,
the official prediction is that "it would
seem that rather important imports
may again be necessary the coming
season.
Barley is satisfactory in quantity in
France, but extensive discoloration
may make the supply of good brewing
sorts scanty. Rye, with $4,000 acres
greater area in France, yields almost
51,000,000 bushels this year, compared
with almost 100000 bushels in 1911.
Oats suffered seriously there from rain
in September.

acted all the toll it can for the bloody
courtroom tragedy of the 18th of last

mountaineers. BY farming, merchan-
dising and stock raising they had ac-
cumulated considerable money
Sidna Allen occupied a mountain
mansion. He was, prior to the Hills
vile tragedy, one of the magnates OF
the Carroll county mountains. He
was looked up to by most of his neigh
bors as being ahead of them from the
standpoint of business and wealth.
This home was surrounded by all
the ordinary comforts of life in the
mountains. Sidna owned valuable
mountain lands. and his estate was
worth probably not less than $4,000,
if it did not reach the value Of 100000.
The other Aliens were not worth so
much as their chief, but most of them
had comfortable homes. and practical.
ly all of them were noted for their
mountain hospitality.
But this property Of the Aliens, like
the men who possessed it, is doomed.
In Virginia there is a penalty for such
slaughter as was committed at Hills
Vile aside from the penalty demand
ed by the criminal statutes. The civil
law provides for the financial side in
the event a life or lives are taken
without just cause.
Consequently. following close upon
the Hillsville tragedy, three civil suits

PENDANTS were non-residents; were dis
posing of property TO detraud credi-
tors and for other statutory grounds.
The present status is that the at
tachments OF the property of the per-
sons under arrest or tried and con
yicted have been set aside by the
court. The property OF Sidna Allen,
whose capture was effected recently,
has for some time been in the hands
of the sheriff of Carroll county, al
though Sidna Aliens wife and daugh-
tiers have continued to occupy the
property just as though they held it in

The ex-President cried, with gesture,

A captain of police rushed in as
Lyon released his grip on the fellow,
and with Lyons help dragged the man
into the hotel kitchen.
Colonel Roosevelt sat back in the
