four years in Arctic exploration, re.
turned to Seattle yesterday by steam
er from Nome, Alaska, and told Of his
probable discovery of the descendants
Of the Scandinavian colonlsts OF
Greenland, who were last heard Of In
1912, and who, when trade was re-
sumed with Greenland in the seven
teenth century, had entirely dlsap-
peared.
OF the so-called "White Eshmos" Of
Coronation gulf Stefansson said;
"They were taller than the Green
land Eskimos, but not so tall as the
Alaskan Eskimos. They spoke Eskl-
mo, although I thought detected
some Morse words, and they lived in
the typical Eskimo way. visited 13
groups Of these people, who number
probably 1000 and saw 1000 of them.
"Ten of these groups or tribes had
never come in contact with whites,
and had not even a tradition Of them.
Two tribes had traditions of the Sir
John Franklin expedition. An old
man in one tribe had seen Richard
son in 1S4S, and an old man in anoth-
er tribe had seen Collinson in 1853.
The thirteenth tribe had been visited
by whalers.

Brown agreed to bring in the ordi-

did.
The ordinance will provide that
gates be installed on the principal
streets crossed by both the Southern
Pacific and Oregon Electric railroad

Belgrade, Servia, Nov. 1.-THE
league of the Balkan nations is ut
terly opposed to making Albania an
autonomous state as desired by Ger
many, Austria-Hungary and Italy"
said Premier Pachitch OF Servia in
the course of an interview here.
The premier laid emphasis on the
fact that the allied Balkan states
were working in harmony on all
questions. He declared that they de-
manded the complete disappearance of
the sovereignty of the sultan from
European Turkey and the division OF
the territory among the victorious
nations belonging TO the Balkan
league.
The partition OF the Turkish terri
tory, he said, had already been ar
ranged along broad lines by the allies,
she only questions left open for dis
cussion being those relating to the
destiny of Constantinople, Saloniki
and the Dardanelles.
The fate of Constantinople and the
Dardanelles, said the premier, would
be left to the decision of the European
powers. AS for Saloniki, however, the
Balkan allies had not reached an
agreement as to who was TO have it.

Attempt to Revive Spirits of Defeated
Turkish Soldiers.

London, Nov. 11.-A dismal picture
of the Turkish situation at Tchatalja
is sent from the Turkish position by

by raw recruits hastily mustered from

They are making frantic efforts to

continues. Attempts are being made
to weld togther the disintegrated
atoms of what was once an army"
"Hodjas of Stamboul, with prophets
and the sacred green flag, are at
tempting to revive the spirits of the
troops and restore Turkish military
prestige by preaching a holy war.
They are entreating the religious
chiefs to rise up and exterminate the

useful and important, indeed" was the
comment which President Elect Wood
row Wilson made on the array Of edi-
torials, statements and declarations
from prominent persons being pub
lished in various newspapers advo-
eating or opposing an extra session
of congress to revise the tariff.
The attention of the president elect
was called to an argument in an edi-
torial that inasmuch as he had not re-
ceived majority OF the popular vote
and that since both the Republican
and Progressive parties favored a pol
Icy of protection. therefore the conn.
try had voted against tariff revision.
That's queer reasoning" remarked
the president elect. They overlooked
the fact that many state legislatures
went Democratic, which means Demo.
cratic senators, and likewise that
there were great number of Demo-
cratic congressman elected"

Serious disorders are reported to

EUROPE IS (
NEAR war
N -
Six Big Powers Face
Open Rupture.
ARE EQUALLY DIVIDED
SerVia'S Invasion Of Albania
Cause Of The Trouble.

London, Nov 11.-All Europe faces
the avowedly imminent danger Of a
great war which may change the en-.
tire map Of the continent
Flushed with victory and absolutely
ignoring the threat of Austria Hun
gary that she will not tolerate the
Servian occupation of Albania or of
a port on the Adriatic sea, the armies
of King Peter continue their bloody
advance through the country, which
they practically have been ordered to
remain out of They also are making
their way rapidly toward the Adriatic
coast with the object in view, it is
considered, of seizing one or more of
the ports.
The powers forming the triple al
liance-Germany, Austria Hungary and
Italy-and those comprising the triple
entente-France, Great Britain and
Russia, are divided as to the policy
to be pursued when peace between
Turkey and the Balkan allies finally
shall have been brought about.
Meanwhile a million soldiers are
scattered across the territory of Eu-
ropean Turkey engaged in one OF the
most deadly wars of modern days.
Austria Has Supporters.
In the attitude assumed by Austria
Hungary with reference to the future
of Servia in Albania it is known that
the Austrian government has the sup
port of Germany and Italy.
The attitude of the powers of the
triple entente however, is not yet al
together clear. Russian popular feel
ing, however, viii force the govern
ment to take the part of the Slavic
states and when Russia does so she
can count on the support cf her ally,
France, and of her friend, Great Brit
ain.
This is not because they particular.
~ care whether Servia gets all she
wants or not, but because il they want
Russias aelp when they are in trouble
they must support her In her day OF
trial.
King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, it is
said, will probably lead the allied
army into Constantinople in person
He may be accompanied by other
Balkan rulers and these will be ac
companied by strong Bulgarian, Ser
Wan, Greek and Montenegrin con
tingents.
While Bulgaria has declared her In
tention not to remain in the Turkish
capital, even the entrance OF an in
vading army is likely to cause re
vuision of feeling in Russia against
Bulgaria.
Only Matter Of Hours.

patched from the front cbere was
