The subject of our sketch, Rebec-
ca Jane Blakesley, daughter OF
Payton and Jemima Leuellen, was
born in Tennessee, Oct. %, 1884,
and departed this life Nov. LIST, 1912
at the home of Mrs. S. A. Dale, her
age being IS years and 10 days.
She with her parents moved to
Mercer county, Mo-, where she grew
to womanhood. At the age of II
years, she joined the Missionary
Baptist church of New Salem, where
she loved to go. She lived a devot-
ed Christian life until death releas-
ed her. She was a loving mother,
and q kind, patient friend to all who
knew her. She was united in mar
riage to George W. Blakesley Nov.
so, 1855. She leaves to mourn her

lren, and 16 great grand children.
Since the death of her husband

Her body was followed from the
home of S. A. Dale by a large process

tives to the New Salem church
where funeral services we're held by
the writer of this sketch. Scripture
lesson read was from Prov. 4:18.
But the path of the just is as the
shining light that shineth more and
more unto the perfect day.
The life of sister Blakesley is a
proof of this text as she gave her
life to the Savior when young. She
grew in grace from year to year.
She showed to the world that there
is reality in the religion which she
had in her possession proving this
by helping the poor and the needy.
After funeral services her body

Belief Exists in Diplomatic cles Here That England Is
Too Much Concerned Over Balkans Situa-

The unrest among these subjects is
already great. The British government
felt that to do anything to enhance
It would be dangerous. perhaps suicidal.
England Is Apprehensivs.
But while this was true on the one
hand, ON the other hand the course of
the Balkan war up to this time Is like
wise such as to make England appre-
hensive. That Russia In quietly backing
up the Balkan states is pretty clearly
understood. 1t is the Information both
In diplomatic and In army circles here
that the Bulgarian armies, now giving
a good account of themselves, have
been trained by Russian officers. Rus
slams are said to be drifting over into
Bulgaria and taking service IN me M Bui, ~
the Russian people are with the Balkan
allies, most Of whom are their brethren

To the extent that the formation OF
Slav confederation In southeastern
Europe might check the designs OF Ger
many and Austria In that part OF the
world, England. as the matter Is viewed
here, is complacent about the successes

because of the raising of the cana

1t is a long way from the Balkans
to the Panama canal. and at hrst
glance there may seem to be little con-
nection between the present 'upheaval in
southern Europe and the, canal tolls.
Nevertheless, there is a relation close
enough to cause a belief TO obtain In
well informed official quarters that Eng
land will not press her controversy with
the United States over canal charges. but
will conclude quietly to retreat.
The reason for this belief Is that II
Is well understood in State Department
and diplomatic circles that Great
Britain has her hands full just now.
The breaking out Of war In the Balkans
has served to emphasize these diff
culties.
The advices here are that. Great
Britain is extremely nervous over the
possibilities Of the Balkan situation.
The British government fears the ef-
fects Of the firebrands which have been
lighted beyond the Danube, and does not
know how far the confiagration will
spread.
England for her security In India and
in Egypt. The subject populations OF
both these countries are restless, and Il
Balkan struggle will be on these peo-
pies. 90.
England Feared to Intervene.
Much wonderment has been expressed
why the great powers Of Europe have
permitted the Balkan nations to go to
war. For months, In fact, for many
years. 1t has been plain that II the
powers insisted they could compel
Turkey to make effective the reforms
promised for European Turkey In the
Berlin convention that followed the
war between Russia and Turkey In
isI7-7s Recently, when II appeared that
the people of the allied Balkan states
were getting to the point Where thay
would fight II their brethren under
Turkish rule were not assured Of more
liberal treatment, the powers could
have stepped In and forced Turkey to
grant the concessions on which the
Balkan states insisted. However, there
was little concert Of action. among the
powers. England hung OFF and seemed
, dubious about how to proceed.
The explanation given OF this here
Is that England feared to have any
hand in trying to cocrce Turkey fol
