TURK ARMY STRONG
Ottoman Empire by No Means
in Desperate Straits.
TROOPS OUTNUMBER ENEMY
Easy to Place Quarter of Million on
Bulgarian Frontier.
BY w. B. MIDDLETON.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
CONSTANTINOPLE. October IT, 1912
Though the odds may seem against the
Turkish army in the present crisis. due
largely to the seat Of war, no mistake
would be greater than to regard the po-
sition of Turkey as desperate. Making
all deductions for garrisons and detach-
ments in distant provinces. the Turkish
government should be able to place be-
tween 100000 and 100000 troops on the
Bulgarian frontier. and as time elapses
should rapidly increase that force.
The enemies Of Turkey are geographic
cally divided into two groups, which cam
not easily communicate by sea or land.
In the first group are Bulgaria. Servia and
Montenegro; in the second are Greece
and Crete. The Greek army will prob
ably be left severely alone at the outset
siderable doubt as to its capacity for
an energetic offensive. The wisest STRAIT
egg lies in throwing the maximum OF
force upon the most formidable OF Iur-
keys enemies, and this is clearly Bull
garia. Efforts will doubtless be made to
"contain'' Servia and Montenegro and
to hamper them with guerrilla operations
in the difficult country through which
kans will be decided by the encounter
between Turkey and Bulgaria.
In numbers the Turkish army is supe-
rior. probably by some 30 per cent. The
Turkish artillery Is believed to be partic-
ularly good. The Turkish infantry has
always been unrivaled when we'll led.
Marshal Won der Goltz. who was re-
sponsible for the reorganization Of the
Turkish army under Abdul Hamid. gives
this reason for its high fighting quality
that every Turk feels himself to be a
member Of a ruling race. immeasurably
superior to the Christian nationalities
about hmi. This feeling Of intense pride
sustains him in battle. He comes Of a
hardy peasant stock Injured to privation
and open-air life. He is usually familiar
with the use of arms from childhood. All
that he needs to assimilate when he joins
the ranks Is the more mechanical part Of
discipline. The weakest arm Is perhaps
the cavalry, though great attention has
been paid to it under the Young Turk
regime. But in this direction Servia,
Montenegro and Greece are equally weak.

IS TO Be MAINTAINED
Defendants in Assault Case
Ask Jury TriaI-Fredonia
Boosts Wages.

Notwithstanding the fact that there was
no disorder last night resulting from the
strike Of members of Washington Local
No. of the International Union of Ho-
tel Workers, 1t was announced today in
the office of Maj. Sylvester. superintend-
ent Of police, that the extra patrolmen,
who for the last few nights have been
stationed in the downtown district. will
be ION the job" again tonight. Besides
the metropolitan policemen, the Raleigh
and New Willard hotels and the Cafe Re-
publique,. whose employees struck. have
many plain clothes men to assist the
house detectives.
An official of the union said today that
the union as an organization is not urg-
ing violence Of any nature. but on the
contrary has asked the men to confine
themselves to peaceful picketing. He ad-
mitted that there is a chance of fights
between individual members Of the union
and stikebreakers. but he pointed out
that it is impossible for the union to con-
troll the action of all Of it's members.
Next Strike in Baltimore.
Baltimore is said to be the next city
where the calling Of strike Of the no.
tel workers, mostly cooks and walters,
is imminent. Recent strikes have oc-
CURED in New York and Boston, and the
strikers claim that as result wages are
higher and working conditions are better
in both of those places.
AS the managers of the Washington
places affected claim that they have all
of the employees they need, it appears
that the next move will be UP to the
union. The union claims that a second
walkout of the strikebreakers will be
called.
Plead Not Guilty; Ask Jury Trial.
John Dazuffi and Edward Habrie, ar
rested by the police in connection with
the assault of w. H. Williams a colored
waiter, shortly after midnight Saturday,
asked for jury trial in Police Court to-
day. When arraigned they pleaded not
guilty.

Emergency Hospital with a fractured
knee, Is able to leave the institution.
Clark, 1t is said, claims that he neither
participated in nor witnessed the fight
Although the house was not affected by
the strike, the management Of the Ere
donia Hotel has announced an increase
OF wages to its walters and cooks,
each month. Manager AShburne said to-
day that the new scale of wages and
hours already had gone into effect, and
that although he had no contract with
the union, he had no objections to his
employees joining the organization.

PARTS. October 16, 1912
Though the European patient shows no
symptoms Of definite disease his state
is none the less below par. For this
reason special Importance attaches to
the actual condition Of France under
arms. Is she capable Of combating any
difficulty that may arise?
At the present moment there are 325 900
men with the colors. counting the pro-
fessional and permanent cadre. the others
being soldiers who have one years serv-
ice to their credit. The new recruits who
are arriving have. Of course, no military
value. and will continue to be q negative
quantity until they have learned to shoot
as we'll as the rudiments of drill. Thus
the effective army Of France is reduced
to One-half $4,000 having been liberated
In the past week. This is obviously a
dangerous position in view Of the political
situation.
Important Question.
The agonizing question must be ask

year men. The well known writer. Lieut..
Col. Rousset. goes much further in
clamoring for the re-establishment Of the
three-year regime. If this cannot be
done, then let the "classe'' be kept until
January 1 instead Of being liberated in
October.

Charging the wanton destruction Of in
sectivorous birds in the United States
with being partly responsible for the
high cost Of living, the committee on wild
life protection OF the fourth National
Conservation Congress has inaugurated a
nationwide campaign to induce Congress
at the coming session to enact a law for
the federal protection Of migratory birds.
Three such measures now are pending
In the congressional archives, any one OF
which. according to William #. Horna-
day, director Of the New York Geological
Society and chairman Of the committee,
would be acceptable if placed on the fed
eral statute books. 1t is proposed to
bring pressure to bear on Congress by
the citizens Of every state in the interest
Of the passage of one Of these bills.
Circular Is Issued.
The committee has issued circular
showing the effect on the dinner pail
through the widespread destruction of
migratory birds and consequent increase
in the insect hordes. Request has been
made Of all American newspapers to give
publicity to the matter so that farmers
and fruit growers may be brought to a
realization of the seriousness of the sit
uation and Congress appealed to for
relief.
According to statistics issued by the
Department of Agriculture, which are
set forth in the committees circular, in

NEW YORK, March 13.-With CON-
ferences today in New York and Lon
don steps may be taken which will lead
towards adjustments of the Worldwide
situation which finds a million coal
miners IN strike in Great Britain and q
threatened strike of tens of thousands
of hard and soft coal miners in the
United States. In England all branches
Of industry are affected by the strike
and 1t is estimated that the worthless
army totals two million persons.
Possibilities of strike in this country
has already made itself felt in premiums
of 81 a ton paid on anthracite. Ship
ments Of soft coal from the bituminous
regions to the seaboard are delayed by
recent bad weather and a car shortage.
President John p. White, of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, and a
committee of hard coal miners were
prepared this afternoon to confer with
a committee of operators who will off,
cially reply to the demands for higher
wages and other concessions presented
two weeks age by h miners. The
operators have already announced that
the demands would be refused. Both
sides insist that they will stand pat"
The conference between the British
coal mine owners and the delegates of
the striking miners under the auspices
of several members of the cabinet and
presided over by Premier Asquith was
resumed this morning at the foreign
office and satisfactory progress is said
to have been made. No details of the
proceedings have been made public,
but the premier at noon expressed
qualification at the course the negotia-
lions were taking. The morning ses-
sion lasted for two n one-half hours

BERLIN, March 13.-The Goa miners
strike in the great German coal fields
of Westphalia has taken a serious turn
and has resulted already in a fatal
conflict between the police and the
striking miners in the district of Herne.
At the village of Herne, V miles from
Bochum, a mob of strikers threw
stones and fred revolver shots at a
detachment Of armed police marching
along the street toward the mine
where they had been ordered to protect
the non-strikers. The police replied to
the attack with their revolvers, and
one of the strikers was killed.
