STRENGTH OF MOTHER LOVE
Sterk or Lark Willingly Give Lives
to Save the Young Birds From
Danger.

So strong Is the mother love de-
that it amounts to a heroic passion.
The stoxk. which spends the win
ter in Egypt and the summer In
northern and western Europe, likes
to baild it's nest on the top of some
steep gable roof. Such q nest Is
often a real nuisance to man. 1t Is

and other disagreeable creatures. It
becomes in course Of time SO heavy
that it will break the roof If not arti-

Nevertheless, for various supersti-
tiOus reasons the stork IL not only
welcome, but even courtGd by the
European peasants, and it cannot be
denied that the respect with which
the bird Is regarded Is to some extent
deserved
If the house takes fire and the
young stOrks happen to be Of an age
at which they cannot be saved by

The weary tramp sauntered idly

Turkish History.

The Turks first appeared in Euro
pean history in the middle of the four
teenth century. They were driven by
the Mongols from Central Asia to Ar
menia. They extended their domain
gradually westward into Asia Minor.
and about this time began to be known
as Osmanlis. from their first sultan,
Osman. This name Efterward was
corrupted to Ottoman
Osman's son made his capital at
BuEsa, opposite Constantinople, and
his son gained foothold m Europe
in 1858. Murad l. established the cap
Nal of his empire at Adrianople so
years later. He defeated the Servians
and the allies at the great battle of
Kossovo in 1889, and himself persisted
on the field. In the following decade
the Turks subdued WaMachia, Bull
garia, Thessaly and Macedonia, aEd

Geographical Situation.

The Balkan peninsula, generally
speaking, is a diffieWAt country for an
army to invade and an easy one for
troops to act on the defensive in 1t
is traversed by two great mountain
systems, the Balkans on the northeast
and the Dinaris Alps on the west.
The Balkans begin at the great gorge
of the Danube-the Iron Gates, as
they are called. At this point Hum
gary, Roumania and Servia meet.
Through the Iron Gates of the Dan
ube have passed the armies of many
great commanders The nations Of Eu-
rope and Asia have passed back and
forth from prehistoric times in their
peaceful migratiORs or those of coR-
quest. AS result there is the greatest
mixture of peoples and races in that
region of anywhere on earth.
The Balkan range runs ssuthward
through eastern Servia, then curves
eastward, passing through the center
of Bulgaria to the Black sea. It is
FROM IL to 80 miles wide. On the
south side it is very precipitous, but
slopes gently on the north. 1t forms
vast natural barrier and is crossed
by more than 80 passes. The most
famous of these is Shipka pass, where
during the war between Russia and
Turkey In 1877 desperate battle was
fought. The Russians, with $500 men,
held the pass for three days against
10000 TURKS. A little later, in mid
winter, $4,000 Russians advanced upon
the Turks and drove them out of the
pass. The Russians lost nearly 5000
men In this battle in the deep snow.
and the Turkish troops suffered al
most as heavily.
The Turks still quote the old saying
of Mahomet H. to the Venetian repub-
lie. when the flag Of Islam was the
most feared banner of Europe: 1--WE

Seems End of Turkish Rule.

The decline of Turkey began in the
seventeenth century, and proceeded
more rapidly in the eighteenth. Rus
STA and Austria won back province
after province, and toward the close
of the eighteenth century Turkey
seemed on the point of vanishing as a
nation. There were civil wars, as well
as wars with other European coun-
tries, but Turkey survived them ALL

1t looks as IL the continuance OF the
war rests largely with one man..
Pierpont Morgan.
Turkey wants to borrow $5O,OOO,-

with the Morgan interests for the last
two months. The ostensible object of
the loan was to bring about peace be-

In fact, there has been no time in the
last few centuries when the situation
In the Balkans could have been de-
scribed as peaceful. The little states
that hitherto merely have been pawns
in the diplomatic game OF the great
powers at last have taken the bit in
their teeth and may upset the equilib-
rum of Europe before they are check

down of Turkey will bring peace
quickly. This may be expected IL Mr..
Morgan and the other great money
kings, who are the real rulers of ma
tions, refuse to make loans unless

Bulgaria Ranks High.
The most important of the Balkan
states Is Bulgaria. Prince Ferdinand
was crowned as it's czar October 5,
1908. Bulgaria was conquered by the
Turks in 1895 and for yearly 500 years
remained part of the Ottoman en-
pire. 1t was constituted semi-inaepen-
dent by the Berlin treaty in 1878. One
of the hopes of the Bulgarians Is to
restore that country to it's greatness
of centuries ago and to include with
in it's boundaries all of Macedonia. In
Macedonia dwell Mahometans and
Christians. These always are ready
to fly at each others throats. The
Christians are divided into Greeks,
Servians and Bulgars. These three
nationalities hate each other fully as
much as AL of them hate the Turk.
