LONDON, Nov. 5.-As result of the Turkish overtures for peace ne, gotiations, made to the leading Flu, ropean powers, the Balkan states are insistent that Turkey treat directly with them in the matter of peace. Turkey as yet had no reply from the powers concerning her overtures for intervention or mediation.
 The Turkish army is reforming be- hind the lines at Tchatalfa, the last fortifcation before Constantinople, but 1t is doubtful if 1t will be able to resist the Bulgarian advance.
 The fact that Turkey apparently was taken by surprise and that her most important outposts gave way seems to mean that the allies can push back indefinitely the Turkish soldiers, though they have long record for bravery. The Turkish mobilization is only under way. She claims to be able to mass 100000 men outside of Constantinople; {; whereas the allies have practically their full strength in able.bodied men already in action.
 The great question now is whether Turkey can defend Constantinople,

MANY PEOPLE ARE
 AT TENAKEE SPRINGS

According to Henry Moses, who re- gently returned from a short visit at Tenakee Hot Springs, there are at the present time two hundred guests stopping at the famous health and pleasure resort Mir. E. Snyder the merchant. has recently completed a splendid hall which is almost con stantly in use for dancing parties.
 Alex Harte and associates, who own a great many of the cabins used by visitors to the resort, have com menced the construction of splen- did club house which is expected to be completed at an early date.
 Mir. Moses says that the skating craze has struck Hoonah along with an intense desire for motion pictures. The demand became SO pressing for these diversions that Frank Shotter, the manager of Mrs. Kane's store, decided to put up a building suitable for both amusement features. The building is we'll under way and should be completed soon. The Hoonah population is largely native.

THE STRAW VOTE

There was objection raised to the pan of taking a straw vote for the presidency at the regular polling place today. hence Burford's was se- lected as the most suitable substi- ute. Arrangements were made to keep an accurate poll of all voters and to see that an honest count is made.
 The votes have been coming into Burford's ever since the clerks were selected this morning and 1t is ex- pected that the interest in this straw vote for the highest honor in the land will continue till the polls close at nine o'clock tonight.
 The same requirements will be ex- acted of voters as if the election were legal.
The Alaska daily empire., 1912-11-05

The first election to be held in Ju- neau under the territorial organic act started of this morning about a half hour late owing to the fact that one member of the election board, Joseph Snow. did not appear. Mes sengers brought the information that MT. Snow was i'll. All of those as- sembled and who were asked to serve. had other pressing duties. However. Geo. A. Coe was substi- tuted for Mir. Snow and the polls opened with the following officers in charge: Judges: Benjamin Bullard, Mark Russell, George A. Coe; clerks: c. T. Cheek, John W. Dud- ley.
 The polls opened at S:SO and by common consent Captain T. J. Mar tin, a pioneer of 1885, was given the honor of casting the first ballot in the capital city for members of Alaska's first territorial legislature.
 The local situation warmed up shortly after the polls opened and several energetic workers appeared on the scene for the progressive and nou-partisan tickets, The Socialists were not much in evidence.
 By l o'clock 22O ballots out of an approximate voting strength of 400 for the Juneau precinct, had been cast.
 There will be some mixed tickets though the majority are probably voting straight.
 The following opinions by those taking an active part have been ex- pressed and are submitted as a bas- is on which to forecast the result:

A NEW NATION MAY
 ARISE. IN EUROPE

which 1t is generally believed she can unless unsuspected conditions devel- op in the army or revolution and bankruptcy strike from behind.
 Politically, there is one outstanding fact, that is, if the armies of the Balkan kings are able to hold even what they have gained thus far and the entire European press seems to take 1t for granted that they can there is a new nation in Europe. Instead of four feeble kingdoms to which the great powers have given orders from time to time, there is another coherent power.
 A fortnight ago the great powers served notice in the form of joint note on the belligerents that whatever the result of the fighting there could be no change in the boundary. The Balkan states are saying today What we have, we will hold" The British press, at least, is accepting that as a fact Tho Balkan states united and flushed with victory and under arms will be bristllng nettle which the great powers will hesitate to take hold of.
 The chief interest ip the war, pure ly from technical standpoint, is that 1t is largely test of the German school against the French. The Turkish army has been trained by General von der Goltz and his as- sistants and is equipped with German weapons. The Greek, Bulgarian and Servlan armies had French instruc- tors.
 All reports from the armies of the allies described the Turkish prisoners as ill.fed and poorly clothed, but sol diers know that prisoners are always dejected and hungry and do not at- tach much importance to that. Both sides accuse their opponents of mas. sacres, cruelties and violations of the white flag. Such accusations are in. cidental to all wars. The truth can. not De known until the history of this one is written later.

soIzIng Food Supplies.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 5.-The Turkish government is selzlng sup. plies for the army wherever they can be found. Famine prices for food pre-. vail and there is intense suffering among the people. The city contin. ues in a panic.strlcken state. The mosques are filled with devotees parylng Allah to ward off threatened disaster
 The discipline and selfabnegation which have constituted characteristic virtues of the Turkish army, appear lacking in the troops. At Constanti, nople and in many neighboring towns the gendarmes are seen every day beating up citizens who are able to carry guns and conducting them to the military stations. In this man ner Christians and Turks alike are enrolled by force.
 Those who wish to avoid service must pay a bedel, or exemption tax, which amounts to GAO Turkish ($176), and many persons have paid the bedel two or three times.

I guard the granger's corn and wheat from hungry birds of prey; they come, the whole blamed crop to eat, see me, and fly away. I stand out here in rain and sun, all soaked in honest sweat; and though my work is never done, small credit do I get. wildly wave my wooden arms, and kick my jointless shanks, to chase the buzzards from the farms, and no one gives me thanks. If should loaf around in town and thus neglect my trust, the Touring mills would all close down and the bakeries would bust. The banks and factories would fail; you'd soon hear Famine's tread; you'd hear the hungry housewife's wall, while children cried for bread. Fros- perity is holding sway, and peace be- yond all words, because stay here day by day, and scare the doggone birds. But people don't appreciate the good do, old chap; they really ought to nominate me for some pub lie snap"
