worthy of the worlds honors

Your Chance in Texas

What do you know about this
great State in which YOU live?
Everybody knows that this is
the largest State in the Union.
but that is not the most remark
able thing about Texas.
The most important thing is
the way Texas is growing. Her
population has been growing at
the rate of 100000 every ten
years for the past sixty years,
until now she has nearly 1000
600 inhabitants.
With all of this increase of
population Texas is a peculiarly
American State, only SO to every
100 are foreign born. and of
this small percentage one-quarter
are the thrifty, substantial farm
building Germans. Only 25 per
cent of her population are
negroes while in other Southern
States they run from 81 to AZ per
cent.
There are forty acres for
every man, woman and child,
which is two and one-half times
as much as Iowa, and fourteen
times as much as New York. |
II you haven't got your forty
acres you ought to have it.

ALBANIAN FLAG LOWERED
Serbs Say Autonomy Is Simply
an Austrian Device.

London. Dec. "A dispatch from
Durazzo to THE Daily Telegraph
says:
THE Servians entered Durazzo with
out firing a shot. They were actually
welcomed by the citizens. Their entry
was commonplace. With almost re-
ligious solemnity the worn, ragged
servian troops marched out Of the
mountains into the town.
IAN Austrian steamer, with wireless,
left the harbor as the Servians arrived,
cutting off Geographic communication,
which existed only through her wireless
service.
The vanguard of Servian horsemen,
accompanied by citizens who had gone
forth to meet them, were welcomed in
the city in behalf of the Moslems by
Mahometan priests, while the Chris
tians were represented by the Metro
politan. The soldiers. who entered the
war as fine. strapping fellows, are now
ragged. unkempt and exhausted, their
uniforms tattered, their boots mud IN
cased and rotting on their feet. their
swords rusty
Replying to the assurances OF the
priests that their reception was peace
full. the Servian officer announced that
the Servians would bring peace and
good order, and having reached Du-
razzo their grand enterprise was ended.
The crowd exclaimed, Long Live Ser
via and its King!
Almost the first act of the Servian
was the lowering of the
Albanian flag. Night fell before the
small occupying squadron of cavalry
was reinforced by three battalions.
THE Orthodox Bishop went out with
lanterns to meet the commander. The
citizens were apparently highly pleased
and greeted each fresh regiment as it
arrived throughout the night. with en-
thusiasm.
cit is evident from the appearance of
the troops that the campaign in the
mountains has worn out the Servian
army. Its officers declare that AL
bantam autonomy is simply an Austrian

TRIPLE ALLIANCE OBJECTS
Sir Edward Grey's Proposal

Paris, Dec. 1.-According to informa-

tonight, Sir Edwarl Grey's suggestion
for conference of the ambassadors
to consider the Balkan settlement is
meeting with opposition from the mem
bers of the Triple Alliance. who desire
that the conference shall be held in a
neutral city, such as Berne. The Hague
or Brussels, and not in the capital Of
one of the powers interested.
II this objection Is maintained. it is
considered that it will be difficult to
come to an agreement. for it is pointed

doris" implies the choice of capital,

credited could represent their govern

been received, there seems to be no
doubt, in view IF a statement made by
the Turkish Foreign Minister, that a
truce has been actually arranged.
He said: when the newspapers
stated that the protocol of the armistice
contained d statement of the general
conditions of peace they said that
which was entirely unfounded. on tina;

J place. The protocol simply stipulates,

which are to commence after the sig

ture and without foundation. For the
moment only two things are in view,
armistice and the immediate COM
mencement of direct communications

| coalition as to conditions of peace"
The terms of the armistice. according
to the Constantinople correspondent of
| THE Standard" provide that the
| armies shall remain in their present
position and cease intrenching, rein
forcing or bringing up ammunition.
Adrianople and Scutari shall not be
evacuated, bu their garrisons shall re-
ceive rations daily sufficient for one
day.
Bulgaria, the correspondent adds. is
willing that Adrianople shall remain
Turkish, provided Turkey will pay an
indemnity of $3.50. OO0,OoO.
AS regards the negotiations for the
peace treaty no city has yet been men
toned, but the Bulgarian Premier said
yesterday he thought Sofia would be
selected. At all events. as they would
no doubt occupy some considerable
time, they will scarcely be conducted In
the restricted and inconvenient quar-
ters afforded by a railway carriage as
was the case at Tchaltdja.
The Sofia correspondent Of The
Daily Mall telegraphs that the allies
will demand from Turkey as war In
demnity $240,O00.O00
The correspondent at Constantinople
of the same newspaper says:
The Bulgarians have shown consid-
cradle Cancellation in the last few days.
They are beginning to realize they are
too exhausted ever TO break the
Tchataldja lines. Also, the allies are
beginning to dispute among themselves,
which is an additional reason for WISH
ing to finish the war quickly"
The Russian Minister at Belgrade, NJ.
Hartwig, is quoted by the correspond
ent of The Daily Telegraph as de-
claring that Russia has always advised
Servia to observe moderation and 10
act in harmony with the great powers.
He added that it was quite untrue to
say that Russia had advised SerVla 10
oppose the creation of an autonomous
Albania.
The correspondent says, however,
that. though il is understood that Ser
via will offer no objection to the exist
ence of an independent Albania, he be-
lieves that the question of seaport
for Servia will disturb European peace.

spanning the River Karasu. between
Tchataldia and Hademkeui The Bull
garians arrived on horseback on both
Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thurs
day Nazim Pacha, the Turkish com

con. The Turks arrived early. but there
was no sign of the Bulgarians.
Presently the approach of a. train
from TchataldJa was reported. Nazim
Pacha was skeptical, not believing that
the Bulgarians could repair the bridges
which had been blown up. \ Bulgarian
train soon appeared, however, and four
teen men sat down to lunch. General
Savoff, the Bulgarian chief, and Nazim
Pacha talked Turkish. while the others
employed the French language. II
seemed to be cordial gathering.

Reports from the interior of Asia
Minor, after a special inquiry. show
that while much anxiety prevails or
der has been maintained everywhere.
At Aintab, a great seat of American
missionary and educational work, a
disturbance which was attempted was
nipped in the bud by the authorities.
Travellers from Dedeagatch describe
the massacre OF Moslems by the Bull
garians when they entered that town,
which is reported to be typical of what
Is happening throughout Macedonia.
The first Bulgarians to enter were an
irregular band of not more than one
hundred and thirty. A shot was fired
from the mosque. which was flying the
white flag; whereupon the Bulgarians
demolished the mosque by bombs and
burned and looted the Turkish quarter
and massacred five hundred persons.
More than one hundred bodies were
counted in the streets. some of which
we're those of Christians.
All the Turkish shops were plum
dered. the roughs of the town taking
part i'm the pillaging, and afterward
were burned. The Greek Bishop acted
with courage and sent boat to Besika
BAY to request hell. The foreign war
ships sent several boats into the har-
bor at night, carrying big lights to
make them look like warships.
Dedeagatch was garrisoned only by
irregulars. The last trains departing
before the Bulgarian arrival were
stormed by fugitives. One of the en-
gineers was bitten on the hands ar1
legs by frenzied women. who tried TO
climb into the engne. The very last
train Of all was captured.

AUSTRIA REMAINS FIRM
ALI Servia's Ambitions Not To
Be Supported by Russia.

Vienna, Dec. IA majority Of the
Vienna newspapers view the situation
more hopefully, chiefly on account Of
the report that Russia has given as
surances to Austria that she does not
intend TO support all of Servia's am
billions. Most of the journals think
that the climax Of the crisis is past,
but there is no sign that Servia has
abandoned her attitude on the question
of an Adriatic port.
The "Neue Freie Presse" asserts that
during the present negotiations Servia
demanded from Turkey the cession Of
the whole Albanian coast from Monte
negro to Durazzo, which the Turkish
delegates refused.
Inspired journals insist that Austria
will veto absolutely the acquisition oy
Servia OF territory on the Albanian
coast and a strip through Albania, but
will not object to Servia using an AL
bantam port under Albanian SOW
ereignty
Belgrade. Dec IAN official state
ment denies the reports that Servia is
concentrating troops on the northern
frontier or is fortifying Belgrade and
other towns. The statement says:
THE government has not sent, and Is
not sending, a single soldier to the
northern frontier. 1t is fortifyinS
neither Belgrade nor any other town
on the Danube or Save, as any one can
convince himself with his own eyes.
On the contrary, the government is
doing everything possible to avoid
superfuous conflict"
