ii NEW YORK, Aux. 15.-Here Is DR.
Josephine Bakers story about little
brown Salvatore. OF Mulberry-st, told
for The Detroit Times.
When Salvatore was three weeks
old he was just a little, wrlnkled
ghost OF baby. Bones showed
Through his taut, unfed skin and his
eyes were duh. He curled, painting
| lon the hard bed In the hot room, while
ears streamed down young Maria s
. cheeks as she wondered how soon her
| .hrst little baby was TO die.
And the visiting nurse came, all In
fresh, crisp linen. A young doctor
eame with her
The two Of them leaned over, poor
little Salvatore a long time When
lhey left, he was in healthful sleep.
That was the beginning of Maria 8
acquaintance with the milk-station on
AlulberTy-st She went there every
,uay. getting pasteurized milk for Sal
yatore very cheaply and having the
nurse and the doctor examine the
Cace and tell her just how she should
modify" the milk for his weak little
|lstomach.
Salvatore began to grow. He crow
| led at his mother all the day, and at
|night he crowed when his father came
home from .diggin' and leaned over
lis crib.
Everything was quite happy now in
Salvatore's home. AT least everything
vas until Salvatore was | 4 months old
E4pd was Just learning to walk. Then
ne night Salyatores father didn't
iame home.
II Maria waited at the window all
|lnight. When dawn showed above the
|ranyon OF Mulberry.st. Maria crept
I3to where Salvatore lay and put her
Head on the pillow beside him
NJ Then came the-woman- who.lived-
. .lownstairs. She told Maria that Tony
had gone away to Italy with another
woman.
An hour later Maria set Salvatore
on the middle Of the dock at the foot
. of East Tenth-st., tying rope around
! his waist and fastening the other end
Ito a post so that he could not get 70
he edge Then she walked out 10
slhe end where the black East river
rolled oilily over the shadows of He'll
Gate. Maria shivered, but went
. nearer.
And then little Salvatore held out
mis- little, helpless arms. Mamma!
he called. Mamma"
And Maria came.
That night Tony came back He
hadn't sailed at all. He had started

from Willie Randolph Hearst
the credit of freeing China, and
place that credit where it belongs
with J. Pierpont Morgan, and
his ally, the government of the
United States of America.
The story of J. Pierpont Nor
gan's activities in this regard
brings to mind those legends
which tell how wolves sucked
babes, and which have reused in
suspicious persons the thought
that perhaps the wolves sucked
the babes with ever in mind the
thought of larger and choicer tit
bits in time to come.
Doubtless Mr.. Morgan did not
know he was freeing China, and
doubtless he is going to be eX-
tremely panied to discover he has
done so. Also, he is going to lose
some money by it, which is one
or the COnSOldt1OnS OF the Sltud-
ton.
Consider the facts:
A few years ago, the Manchu
government arranged" loan of
$3O,0OO,OOO with French, British
and German fnancierS. the osten-
sible purpose of the loan being
'the development of China by the
building of railroads."
This is using the language of
diplomacy. What really happen
ed was that the French, British
and German governments told
the Manchu government to Dor
row the money or prepare for

were other countries splitting up

Morgan requested the State De-

State Department did.
Secretary of State Knox took
the matter up with the represen-

people to arms only after the patience
of the Balkan nations had been ex-

The proclamation opens with ref
erence to King Ferdinand's peaceful
reign of twenty-five years and says
he had hoped that it would continue.
The proclamation says: "Our love
of peace is now exhausted. To sue
cor the Christian population of Tur-
key there remains to us no other
means than to turn to arms.
Our work is just, and a great
and sacred one. With faith in the

Il order the brave Bulgarian army
to march on to Turkish territory. For

Paris, Oct. 1S.-Now that war in the
Balkans has been formally begun, the
French press insists on the necessity
of complete accord among the Euro
pean powers. The fear is expressed
that should antagonism develop among

Colonel Roosevelt awoke at Mercy

that he had "a perfectly bully night
His temperature then was normal.
Last night brought Colonel Roose

IL o'clock last night he dropped. the
book he had been reading, Mrs.
Roosevelt retired to her room, the
lights were extinguished and he fell
asleep, not to awaken until 4:30 this
morning, when his clinical record was
taken for the only time during the
night
1t is said the colonel now suffered
no pain because Of pressure of the
bullet against his fractured rib. The
rib itself is believed to be mending
rapidly. When he awoke this morn
ing, the colonel wondered whether
the attending physicians would Ce-
eide to remove the bullet. He said if
it was extracted he would have it
gilded and made into pocket piece.
Shortly after the colonel aWoke he
was given a sponge bath and alco-
hol rub. He said he was ravenousiy
hungry and was almost positive the
fare allowed would not prove to be
half enough. He declared a steak
and a couple of chops would about

Col. Roosevelt will leave Chicago

London, Oct 1S.-Turkish and Bull
garian forces are both advancing to-
day and it is thought probable they
will meet somewhere in the vicinity
OF Mustapha Pasha, one of the few
passes through the mountains leading
from Bulgaria to Macedonia.
At the same time the Servian army
is on the way to Uskup, where another
big battle is expected.
A report has reached here from
Vienna that the Montenegrin army
suffered a bad defeat at Podgoritza
op Montenegrin territory today. Mill-
tary authorities express their belief
that the Montenegrins have been
checked, both to the north and to
the south of Lake Scutari and that
they have found it necessary to give
their men rest after the hard and
continuous fighting in which they
have been engaged since the outbreak
of hostilities. 1t is also likely that a
delay in their advance has been nee
essitated by the lack of ammunition
and provisions, which the primitive
transports of the Montenegrin troops
have been unable to keep up to the
requirement of the army in the field
Notification that Bulgaria, Servia
and Greece had declared war against
Turkey was given to the British for
eign Office today by the representa-
tives of those countries.
The whole front of the Servian
army is advancing on the Turkish
province of Kossive, says despatch
from Belgrade. One division is march,
ing toward Sienitza, another on Pris-
tina, third on the town of Novipazar
and fourth along the railroad from
Ristovatz to Uskup. A combined Ser
Wan and Bulgarian army is also .ad-
vancing from Koestendil, in Bulgaria,
to the frontier. Servian troops have
occupied the Turkish railway, three
stations beyond Ristovatz, on the way
to Uskup and several frontier forts
have been destroyed by them.

Mrs. Johnson accompanied her hus-
band into the Roosevelt apartments

tences.
The conference continued less than

Plan of the Progressives.

At the present writing a majority of
the progressives is leaning toward the
idea that it would be best for them to
nominate one candidate as successor to
Senator Rayner and to concentrate
their entire strength behind him. In
this connection considerable pressure is
being brought to bear upon Senator
Lee to be a candidate. The Montgomery
leaders own personal choice is the gov
errorship, and his disposition recently
has been to back a progressive can
didate for the Senate against Smith.
but not to get into the fight himself.
His friends, however, are attempting
TO dissuade him from that view, and
are urging him to make the fight. AS
a result, Lees attitude is not settled.
and it may so happen that he will an
nounce his candidacy for the United
states Senate.
There is another element in the Situa-
ton that is causing concern to all candi-
dates-avowed, would-be and the Barkis
kind. The primary election law for SEN
ator is like that for governor, and the
candidate that carries county or legis-
lative district in Baltimore city gets as
many votes in convention as that county
has representatives in the legislature.
This makes the fight essentially one of
practical politics and the prOgressives are
anxious to know how many county men
are already pledged to Smith and how
many they can count on. Realizing that
Smith has a strong following in the coun-
ties, progressives who are friends of Lee
say that he Is the man best able to fight
Smith. Others, however, have been ad-
vising Lee during the past week to effect
a compromise-Smith To succeed himself
and Lee to succeed to the seat made va
cant by Rayner's death. which would
give the Montgomery leader a term from
1914 TO 1917.
