The Engineer Of a
Splendid Enterprise

Governor Wilson's temper II the
present temper Of nine-tenths of the
American people. In his recent
speeches he expresses exactly the
feeling OF the American people. He
has the kind OF scholarship that the
people are spending the annual bud

lie schools--the scholarship that
hates pedantry and cares for know
ledge only because Of Its use.
Wilson brings the resources OF an
accurate science TO bear upon the
practical problems OF public life.

NEW YORK. Oct. s5.--Among the
arrivals from England on steames
that docked A. day OF two ago were
the earl OF Leyen and Sir Sydney
Herbert.
They are quite young, and were
clad IN the latest extremes OF British
fashion clothing that stuck to their
anatomies from neck to ankle, hats
that rested on their ears and their
collars. The earl wore tan spats and
watch on his wrist.
To meet this beautiful and inter
testing pair the ship. news reporters
fiocked across the deck, after inter
viewing some persons of prominence
at quarantine.
The boy earl glared.

TURKS AT TCHATALDJA
FOUND IN SORRY PLIGHT
No Camp, No Food, No organi-
cation at Much Wanted I'M
prepnable Defence Lines.

London, Nov. ia sorry picture OF
the conditions at TchstsldJa is given
by correspondent of The Daily Tele-
graph" who arrived at Constantinople
on Thursday, after riding several days
from Tchorlu with the retreating Turk
ish army. He sends the following dis
patch via Constanza:
Never for a single mile had there
been a break in the endless chain OF
retreating soldiers and refugees. We
had not seen a single regiment, a sin
gle battery, a single company OF organ
ICED solriers. We had only seen men
without arms, without food, without
morale, and whose officers seemed TO
have completely disappeared.
81 do not think that the Turks had
even taken the trouble to blow up the
railway line behind them. When we
neared Tchataldja our spirits rose, az
we heard on all sides that 1t was an
impregnable position. Surely here tbs
retreat would cease; we would find an
army prepared TO make Last stand Tor
Islam.
1--WE realized that our hopes were
vain when, three miles from Tcha-
taldja, we found village In flames
and the soldiers footing II for food
Tchataldja itself was deserted There
were no signs of an army, no signs
Of camp, no signs OF a fortified po-
sition and no supplies Of food.
"At Hademkeui there were one or
two forts armed with obsolete guns;
there were 1000 troops, a majority Of
which were wandering about the VII
lage in a semi-stsrved condition. al
though only twenty miles from Con-
stantinople."

GREEKS FOUGHT FIERCELY
Put Turkish Troops to Utter
Rout at Kenidie.

London, Nov. 11.-The fighting Of the
Greek army In approaching Salonica
was most noteworthy. says a dispatch
to THE Morning Post" from Rirkli
The operations at Kenidje. near the
Vardar River, were fierce, q furious
cannonade being kept up from morning
to dark.
The Turks held q position behind the
stream In swampy ground amid high
rushes. which afforded considera Bile
protection. The stream was a hun
dred yards wide and shallow, with a
wide fringe Of high grass. Ahmed
Pachs, commanding the Turkish left,
sent two brigades Of infantry and four
12-pounder mule batteries across the
river TO attack Laniver and Kirikala.
The forces moved rapidly and In
trenched themselves on fiat ground in q
position previously selected.
They probably would have done great
execution, but heavy rain flooded the
trenches. Early In the morning tho
Greeks advanced to the attack, the in
fantry under DOVER and supported by
artillery A tremendous Turkish fire
met the advance, but the Greeks re-
piled with shells which burst with
deadly effect, the time fuses working
faultlessly.
The Greek infantry outnumbered the
Turks. and after an hours lighting the
Turks began to retreat. They had no
supports within two miles. and only a
railroad bridge was available In cross
ing the river. The retreating Turks
became congested on the bridge. on
which fell han OF shrapnel. A field
hospital near by received many Of the
shells.
The firing was more than the Turks
could stand, and they dispersed in dis
order, the retirement ending In a poll

Turks lay down on the rails while

The decisive attack will be carried
with such force that the Bulgsrians
will reach the gates Of Constsntinople
