management to secure a couple dozen

a little above the hens heads so that
jumping for the treat will give them

The S0mber Side of War.

Ali the news from the war in
the Balkans has been so careful
ly censored that it is impossi-
BILE to present to the reading
public anything except in the
barest outline the course of
events.
That in the clashes that have
so far taken place the Turks
have gotten the worst of it
and that the French system of
artillery and equipment as in use
in the armies of the Balkan
States has been amply vindi-
Gated is clear, but how the Turks
fought and to what causes are
mainly due their overthrow
must be put together later by
the historian.
Other details to be garnered a
few miles from the line battle
are given in letters to the New
York Sun and Times, and it is
evident that the scene of war is
beset by more than the usual
number of blood-thirst guerrillas
and robbers. The special CORE
spondent of the London Chroni-
Gle also relates a grewsome story
of the deeds Of disbanded Turk
ish soldiers and the sufferings of
non combatants.
1t is to be presumed that the
Turkish soldiers have fought
bravely in this war, but their
past cruelties in war are return
ing to haunt them. The last big
war that Turkey was engaged in
was ins1878, when Russia came
so near dislodging the Sultan's
power IN Europe, and would have
done so but for the interference
of Great Britain. That war was
much more stubbornly contested
than the present strife, and the
Turks, ably commanded by Os-
man Pacha, made a stubborn
stand behind the fortified walls
of Plevna.
In the course of the siege of
that post the Russians made q
series of attempts to take the
place by storm and were repeat
eddy repulsed. History records
the fact that, after each repulse,
the Turkish soldiers sailed out
and swept over the fields, killing
and plundering the Russian
wounded.
Recollections Of these atrocities
are not dead, andsthe power of
Russia, this time backed by
Great Britain, is behind the
Balkan States. Whether. in
such engagements that the
Turks may have been able to
hold the field of battle, similar
cruelty has been shown the
wounded enemy. is not stated,
but all the old Turkish ferocity
has come out,insthe.bloody deeds
of Turkish deserters and stray
glers toward noncombatants.
If the report in the London
Chronicle is correct the scenes
within thirtysmiles of Conslanti-
nople today come as close to
forming a hell upon earth as
modern civilization has ever wit
messed. -Louisville Post.

HILLTOP TRACKLETS

win several points for the Blue and
Gnoy during the indoor season. He is
getting or better than he did last year,
and because of this should be able TO
better the time he made in the dash
events in the Georgetown meet of last
March by good margin.
Chapman appears flt to live up to all
the good things that were said about
him in the OF season. The former
.t'ordham speed merchant is getting
down to form rapidly. and should be in
prime condition for his first race.

every day. and may be entered. In the
dash events. At the present time Shore
looks to be q little heavy, but a month
of hard work should get him down to
running weight The former Stenog-
apher has nice form. and. in condition,
should be able to get up considerable
speed.

has In the past week. The Los Angeles
boy sStaking the obstacles with fine
form, and getting lots Of speed into the
dashes between hurdles. In Eller, Col
den has a peerless coach, and under
his tutelage Golden should develop into
one Of the best umber-toppers Of the
South.
John Callahan, the local boy who dis
played such good form in the workouts
before Christmas, has not reported for
training since the recess: Judging from
the way Callahan ran the mile before
the holidays he should be able to push
most OF the distance men in that event,
and every effort should be made Is
have him reconsider his decision to quit
the track.
Barrett, of the 1915 class, who was
recently elected assistant manager Of
the 1912 football team, is showing con-
siderable class on the track, and will
probably be entered as q Blue aud
Gray representative in the Richmond
meet. There Is no denyings the faet
that Barrett is faster than the ordinary;
and with the coaching Of Smith and
Elier should become a capable per:
former.
Partridge. of the Props, is rapidly &C

suitable to outdoor sports to thaw them
out.
That one greatest of great indoor

Of many of Washington's men and
women during the cold months, and
the lure of the maple floor, together
with the resounding thud of the big
balls colliding with the wooden men,
has served to draw many who. six
months from now, will be equally atten-
tive to baseball, away from the COM
forts of home surroundings.
The coming week is filled with many
attractive engagements among crack
teams of the best leagues in the city.
