ENCULFED ALIVE IN
BED OF QUICKsAND

Streator, lll.-Henry Luke, track
man on the Santa Fe railway, was
engulfed alive in a bed OF quicksand
that fell into the workings of IA mine
Oh the outskirts of Streator. His
companions We're near by, but he
disappeared before they could reach
him.
A man was lowered by a rope into
the hole later. but he failed to find
Luke. Experts from the mine rescue
station at La Sale arrived later and
began search for the trackman.
Soon after Luke disappeared y
Santa Fe passenger train came along
but was stopped in time to prevent a
disaster. The roadbed had been re-
garded as insecure at the point where
| Luke vanished while at work.

Geographical Situation.

h Balkan peninsula. generally
speaking, is a difficult country for an
army TO invade and an easy one for
troops to act on the defensive in. 1t
Is traversed by two great mountain
systems, the balkans ON the northeast
and h Dinaris Alps on the west.
The Balkans begin at the great gorge
of the Danube-the Iron Gates. as
the.S are called. At this point Hum
gary, R0ulnania and Servia meet.
Through the Iron Gates of the Dan
ube have passed the armies of many
great commanders. The nations of Eu-
rope and Asia have passed back and
forth from prehistoric times in their
peaceful ~migrations or those OF con
quest. AS result there is the greatest
mixture of peoples aud races i'll that
region of anywhere ON earth.
The Balkan range runs southwark
through eastern Servia, then curves
eastward, passing through the center
OF Bulgaria to the Black sea. 1t is
from II to 30 miles wide. On the
south side it is very PERCEPTIONS. but
slopes gently on the north. 1t forms
a vast natural barrier and is crossed
by more than 30 passes. The most
famous of these is Shipka pass, where
during the war between Russia and
Turkey in 1877 q desperate battle was
fought. The RussiaEs. with $500 men.
held the pass for tllree days against
10000 Turks. A little later, in mid
winter. so, 900 Russians advanced upon
the Turks and drove them out of the
pass. The Russians lost nearly 5000
men in this battle in the deep snow.
and the Turkish troops suffered al
most as heavily.
The Turks still quote the old saying
OF Mahomet ii. to the Venetian repub-
lie, when the flag Of Islam was the
most feared banner of Europe: I'VE
came to Europe against all
~Christendom, and it will take all

Turkish History.

The Turks first appeared in Euro
pean history in the middle of the four
teeIth century. They were driven BY
h Mongols from Central Asia to Ar
menla. They extended their domain
gradually westward into Asia Minor.
and about this time began to be known
as Osmanlis. from their first sultan
Osman. This name afterward was
corrupted to Ottoman.
Osman's SOL made his capital at
Bursa, opposite Constantinople. and

Seems End of Turkish Rule.

The decline of Turkey began in the
seventeenth century, and PROCEEDED
more rapidly in the eighteenth. Rus
STA and Austria won back province
after province, and toward the close
OF the eighteenth century Turkey
seemed on the point of vanishing as a
nation. There We're civil wars. as well
as wars with other European coun-
tries, but Turkey Survived them all.
It's territorial possessions have con
tinued to shrink until they are what
they are today. Doubtless whatever
the outcome of the present war in

be reduced still further. Indeed. the
