London. oct. 23-Desperate fighting
is proceeding over a wide area In the
Balkans Yesterday II was reported
that Kirk Kiliseh had been taken by
the Bulgarians, but the latest dis
patches to hand show that a great
battle is now being fought there, 10000
Bulgarians, under General Dimitrof'
attacking 10000 Turks, under Muk-
hatas Pasha.
The Bulgarian onslaught it Is said
was fiery, almost reckless. Up TO the
present the Bulgarians have lost two
thousand killed and four thousand
wounded. No mention is made OF the
number Of Turkish casualties, but II is
believed that they are very heavy, The
Turks are making stubborn defence.
Constantlnople messages speak Of
the Turks advancing and Of the Bull
garIans retreating, while Sofia dis
patches expect the defenders soon to
capitulate, and the Turkish line to be
broken through.
The pass OF Kresna Is reported capt
ured and three guns taken. 1t Is
now recognized that the Bulgarians
intend making Kirk-Kiliseh vital
point of attack, and a strong opinion
prevails, in French military circles
notably, that the Bulgarians II they
succeed in capturing Kirk-Kiliseh In
tend TO. strike straight for Constan-
tinople, leaving force to cover Adri-
anople.
The Bulgarian eastern column, which
made it's way across wooded mountains
from Tirnovo, is believed to be larger
than that which is attacking Adri-
anople by the Martha Valley. Kirk
Kiliseh possesses only three permanent
forts, but during the last few months
number OF field works have been
thrown UP under German guidance,
forming a circle twelve miles In cir,
conference and equipped with 40
guns. Its garrison Is estimated at ten
thousand Some Of these outer works
are already reported captured, though
at great loss to the Bulgarians, who are
apparently attempting 10 take the town
by storm without waiting for the ar
rival Of their siege artillery.
The Bulgarian campaign resembles
that fought eight years ago in Man
churia, the attack on Adrianople and
Kirk Kiliseh being similar to the Jap
anese movement against Liao-Yang.
In other directions the Bulgarian
armies continue their successful adj
vance. One force has advanced along
the Struma River, and the country be-
tween this stream and the Mesta River
and its tributary, the Bregalnitza. on
the eastern borders of the vilayet OF
Kossovo. is also occupied. In the same
direction over the Rhodope Mountains
the village Of Mehomia, in the narrow
est part Of the valley between two
rivers, close to the town of Banya, has
been captured. together with two COM
panies of Turkish regulars, with arms
and baggage. Another village, Diov-
Ian, shared the same fate, and in 1t
were taken forty-five prisoners. four
cases Of shells, eighty Mausers and
ammunition and stores.
At the town Of Kirdjab. in the dis
trict of the same name, the Turks are
probably concentrating in order to adj
vance on Philipopolis and cut off the
main Bulgarian army. These plans.
however, will be found TO be frustrated,
as the Pomaks, or Bulgarian Moslems.

will mask 1t and move round it to the
east OF the west. The reported inten-
ton Of the Bulgarian army to give
Adrianople the go by and to head direct

practicable by military men, who re-
mark that the distance is the same as
that from Dalny to Mukden, in Man

A good story is told by one of the
members of a collecting team for the
Y. NJ c. A. He had called on promi-
nent tradesman several times without
success. At last the merchant caved in
and said:
Look here, sir, I'll give you SO on
condition that you don't come into my
office again unless l invite you
The offer was promptly accepted.
Next morning the unabashed collector
was on the scene again. He knocked
at the merchants door, and was told to
come in," Then, Whats the mean
ing of this?' demanded the merchant.
Didn't l give you a subscription yes

you would not come here unless in

True" was the answer; but you
asked me to come in when l knocked
and here I am. If you would like to

A Matter of Common Sense
BY Beatrice Fa1,7ax

TIME pendulum of fashion has
swung so far toward what the
women like to call THE Artistic"

again swing back to Common Sense.
If woman can afford to stay in bed
When paying the penalty for appearing
in pumps and silk hose in stormy
weather that is a matter that concerns
only her. She is the woman who could
stay in bed for long, long time before
the world will really miss her.
But it is the woman who is needed;
who is useful; who has work to do,
and does it, who can not be too harshly
condemned for risking her life and her
usefulness by appearing on the streets
in December in attire that is suggestive

She is one of the thousands who have
clasped hands around the pendulum of
fashion and are swinging on 1t far, far,
away from everything that is sane and

She is one of the vast army Of women
who disregard comfort in winter be-
cause comfort in winter carries with it
Ia suggestion of clumsiness.
The foot in high shoe with thick sole

opportunity for the display of what so
many foolish women regard as one of
the greatest of their physical charms.

" severely criticised for encour-
