Constantinople, Oct. 2o.-At last the
"unspeakable Turk must fight for his
very existence in Europe. European
powers for decades have despised him,
have offered up prayers for his early
destruction, and yet have permitted
him to maintain his foothold IN
Europe and to perpetrate his unspeak-
able outrages on his Christian sub

Now four little Christian kingdoms
have united to drive him out Of the
continent and to destroy him II they
can. They will fight with the zeal
that is born of religious fanaticisn
and hatred for a nation that has done
them many wrongs. The Turk must
fight hard if he would stay.
The Turks give every evidence that
they will fight with quite as much
determination and zeal as their Chris

force is 725,000. Two million more

that every man who can fight must
be ready to take upu arms on q mo-

pose to submit tamely.
Except for one circumstance q long
and bloody war would seem inevitable
Lack Of money by both Turkey and
the allies may prevent long continued
hostilities. All the states involved
will soon find themselves without
money.
However, a certain kind Of warfare
can be carried on without great gov

be destroyed, towns laid waste men,
women and children butchered. The
Balkan war may come to this.
In the meanwhile. big armies are
mobilizing in Constantinople. Many
thousands have already left for the

Thirty more patriotic Greeks VIII
leave Pensacola tonight for their home

against Turkey, thus making a total
of almost $50 who have gone from
Pensacola since the call to arms was
issued two weeks ago. II Greece
would accept volunteers the colony OF
Greeks in Pensacola would be almost
depleted today as many are anxious
to engage in the war, but kilograms
received last night from the consul at
New York advised that only men
trained in military service are now
wanted and the services of those who
have had no experience are not de-
sired.
A meeting Of the Greek association
was held last night. Two weeks ago
when the first meeting was held there
were over two hundred present but
last night about half this number
gathered, for the president as well as
over 100 members are already on the
ocean homeward bound to engage in
the war.
The Greeks who will leave Pensa-
cola tonight have seen military SER
vice and are trained. They have not
gone before for the reason that they
are not financially able to make the
trip to New York, and the meeting last
night was for the purpose OF raising
funds with which TO pay their trans
portation to New York. There they
will report to the Greek consul and
wait for the departure of another
steamer for Greece.
