Have Become IntoIerabie.

tboVC 0VSOuC buIOiCI d0tCs
PARIS-Turkey's promises of re-
forms have remained dead letter, say
the Balkan allies, according to a sy-
nopsis of their reply to the represen-
tations of the powers.
The situation of the Christians in
Macedonia has become intolerable,
continues the reply, and therefore the
Balkan states believe it is their duty
to ask the Ottoman government di-
rectly to make the solemn engage
ments contained in the note sent by
the allies.
They ask Turkey to grant without
delay the following reforms and to
promise to apply them within six
months with the assistance of the
great powers and the Balkan states:
The division of the provinces of Eu-
ropean Turkey into clinical circum-
scriptions.
The naming of Belgian or Swiss
Christian governors.
The equality of schools of whatever
faith.
The equality OF representation In
the Turkish parliament.
The admission of the Christians into
every branch Of administration of the
empire.
The formation Of Christian military
divisions.
The reforms to be put into execu-
ton by commission of Christians
and Mussulman's under the auspices
OF representatives Of the powers.
The enumeration of the reforms Is
preceded by a demand that Turkey
demobilize its army.

one or the other" was Colonel Roose.
velt's reply.
The colonel declared that certain
newspaper influences were to blame
for this attempted assassination; that
violent and unjustifiable newspaper
attacks undoubtedly had influenced
this weak-minded man to try to kill
him.
The colonePs physical strength, how
ever, was not equal to his courage and
when half through his speech he had
to stop and was then taken to hos
pital, where doctors examined the
wound and probed for the bullet.
The man who fired the shot told
the police he was John Schrank of
$40 East Tenth street, New York. He
is younga apparently 80 years old, five
feet five inches high, weighs 10
pounds and has light complexion and
is bald.
1t is evident from papers on his per-
son he has been trailing the colonel
for long wilhelm fact, he had the
colonel's itinerary written on a sheet
Of note paper Of southern hotel.
Lucky Turn Saves Life.
Just as the colonel was entering the
automobile, Schrank squirmed through
the crowd and. pulling a revolver
from his coat pocket, fired pointblank
at the colonel's heart.
The colonel at that moment was
turning to seat himself and the bull
let, instead of entering his left breast;
which was unprotected with manu-
script, found Judgment on the right
side.
The coloners life, in all human prob
ability, was saved ~ the manuscript
OF his speech and by other papers
which he carried in the inside pocket
of his undercoat.
The bullet, passing through overcoat,
coat, manuscript, vest and other cloth
ing, penetrated the body, stopping
about two inches under the skin.
Despite the wound, despite the
blood that was flowing freely, the
colonel insisted on fulfilling his en-
gagement with the people of Wiscon-
sin. H. F. Cochems, the former foot
ball player, introduced the colonel and
told the crowd what had happened.
When the colonel arose to speak
there was tremendous cheering. He
drew his manuscript from his coat
pocket and showed his audience where
the bullet had gone directly through
it.
He pointed out the bullethole to the
crowd. "You see it takes more than
that to kill bull moose
Shirt Covered With Blood.
AS the colonel opened his coat and
vest it was seen that almost the en-
tire right side of his shirt was cover
ed with blood. He said that if it had
not been for the manuscript he had
in his pocket on that side he would
have been killed.
Wound Not Serious.
An examination of the X-ray photo
graph indicates that the bullet did not
penetrate the abdominal wall, but
lodged in what is known as the belly
wall. If the abdominal wall had been
1t would not have been
safe for the colonel to attempt the
Journey to Chicago. The wound is
