TERROR RE|GNS
IN TURK ARMY
Famishing SWarms Retreat in
Disorganized Mass to Con-
StantinopIe.
AS SEEN BY CORRESPONDENTS
Soidiers Claw Each Other for Food
Wounded From TchataIja Seek
Refuge In Capital az BuIgars
Push Their ADVANTAGE,

Paris, Nov. 13.-Jean Rodes, a staft
correspondent Of the Temps, who has
reached Constantinople from the war
zone, sends vivid picture Of the mis-
cry of the Turkish soldiers and the
disorganization of the Turkish army.
I'VE have witnessed the failure Of
the Turk as soldier" says Rodas
I'VE have seen him dying of hun
ger, worn out by fatigue, wrecked by
suffering, and running away after hav-
ing abandoned his place in the COM
bat.
Il have never seen a more poignant
picture of human distress than that
presented by these unhappy men,
thrown into one of the most terrible
wars in history without food, without
medical attention, almost without
chiefs, almost without arms At Seid-
Ter | saw a soldier whose right hand
had been severed hold out to us, beg
ging for medical help, the bleeding
stump around which he had tied a
piece of twine.
Il saw long lines of famished men
who came to our tent begging for a
crumb Of bread and staggering away
without murmur of complaint when
told that we had none to give. saw
a thousand wounded leaving a trail
OF blood as they dragged themselves
toward Tchorlu. saw hundreds Of
others fall by the wayside dying from
wounds and fatigue.
Soldiers Fight for Food.
"At Tchorlu column of soldiers,
terrible in appearance, staggered
through the streets in aNdriving rain
and wind storm. No one paid any at
tention to them. They had no shell
ter nothing to eat. From nearby
bakery an officer threw out handfuls
of bread and the soldiers fought for
the loaves. More than half Of them
got nothing, and turned away, ragged,
pallId, and weak.
''All the houses were closed. Prac-
tically all the population had fed, and
those who remained barricaded them
selves within, trembling with fear
The soldiers knocked vainly at the
barred doors.
Groups shivering in the cold tried
the doors of stables to seek refuge;
even the stables remained inhospita-
BILE. Refugees smashed their way in
to shops and devoured all they found,
including raw vegetables and candles,
and sucked at pieces of greasy wood.

Il questioned him. He said he came
from Asia Minor and had not eaten
for eight days. l gave him a slice Of
bread and a chocolate tablet, and he
went away to join the remnants of
the retreating army, Of which this
was the end.
THUS did the Turkish soldier ap
pear to me. He seemed to have no
understanding of the great drama in
which he was participating but his
infinite misery and his horrible animal
distress were enough to break ones
heart.
II do not know whether the accusa-
tions of a massacre are exact, but so
far as l have observed, can affirm
that not only have the Turks COM
mitted no excesses but believe that
no army In the world under such
frightful circumstances would have
been more moderate, more docile."

Columbia, April 27.-The matter

CONSTRUCTION CAMPS AT WAR.
Pitched Battle Between IInborcrs Re-
suits In Death and Wounds.

Gainesville, Ca, April 28.-Seve-
raj badly wounded and one probably
dead is the result of q pitched battle
fought near here this afternoon be-
tween thirty or more members of
two rival construction camps of the
proposed Gainesville and Northern
railway.
Ten arrests were made by Sheriff
Grow and a posse, and the prisoners
are now held in Hall county Jail.
More arrests are expected.
The body Of the dead man has not
been found, and 1t Is believed that
members Of the camp to which he
belonged have hidden 1t from stht,
Sheriff and officers. Three OF the
wounded are in Jail, while the others
the exact number Of which Is not
known-are with tho who fled into
the mountains.
The battle was waged with pistols,
shotguns and rifles. Fought by the
two clans at a distance Of 200 yards
apart, the miniature war lasted for
more than an hour, and was spec
tacular In every sense of the word.
Each Of the two camps Is compos-
ed OF about twenty-five members,
both white and black. Both are sit
uated on two adjoining mountain
sides at distance of not over 200
yards apart. The feeling Of rivalry
between the two has been intense for
the past month or SO, and for some
time clash has been feared by the
overseers.
