Turks Re-enter Adrianople.

London, July 21.-The Turks have
entered Adrianople after a brief con-
flict with the Bulgarian garrison, says
Sofa dispatch to the Times. Bashi
BazOuks are burning, pillaging and
committing atrocities.
The Roumanian troops are advanc-
ing in an easterly direction and threat
ening Eastern Rumelia.
The events of the last few days, adds
the correspondent, indicate the COM
plete collapse of the authority of Eu-
rope"
The Servian and Greeks essayed to
push their attacks Friday and Satur-
day all along the line, but everywhere
We're repulsed.
Peace Possible.
The advent of new Bulgarian Cab
met, comprising a coalition of the lib
eral groups, seems to have brought
prospect that peace negotiations soon
viii be entered into, After vain at
tempts to negotiate separately with
Roumania, the Bulgarian government
accepted the advice of Austria and
Russia and offered Roumania an impor-
tant territorial concession. Bulgaria
also sent delegates to meet the Ser
Wan and Greek, and presumably Rou-
manian representatives at Nish to ne
gotiate an armistice and peace.
1t is confirmed from Athens that
Servia Greece and Montenegro are
ready to participate in these negotia-
tions. Turkey, however, has intro
duced new complication and has
notified the European powers of her
intention to make the Martha river
the new frontier, giving as her reasons
that she always has claimed this from
tier, but that the powers set aside the
claim in order to expedite peace; that
the Porte would be prepared to settle
the question by diplomatic means, but
the atrocities and vandalism of the
Bulgarians in the occupied territories
make it impossible to hope for diplo-
matte settlement, and that new con-
ditiOns arising from the last war be-
tween the allies make it doubly neces-
Bary for Turkey to obtain frontier
guaranteeing safety to Constantinople
and the Dardanelles.
The Porte promises not to cross the
new Martha frontier ,and asks the
powers assistance in establishing it
so as to secure durable relations be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria.
II rs not considered likely that Eu-
rope will permit the decisions of the
London conference thus to be thrust
aside.

WINGED that through certain we'll con-
sidered changes this system can b.
still further improved and made far
more productive of good on both the
humane and practical sides
Hence, the association has rendered
its aid to the legislature in the work
ing out of the remedial measures for
such evils and weaknesses as now ex-
ist Questions of this kind will natul-
ally arise at the forthcoming session
of the general assembly, for clear
headed business men in various coun-
ties realize that improvements in the
present penal system are needed, and
probably every member of the house
and senate who has given serious
thought to such matters is of like opin-
ion.
The prison association, having done
much thorough and conservative work
in studying questions like this in other
states as well as in Georgia, should
be of invaluable service to the legisia-
ture; and its counsel will be particu-
larly worth while for the reason that it
deals with facts and in seeking to make
things as they ought to be never loses
sight of things as they are.

TO BE SOLVED BY IN
VENT0RS BEFORE TREASURE

(From Popular Mechanics.)

Hundreds of millions dollars worth
of gold, silver, copper, and precious
stones are lying on the bottom of the
sea, ready to the hand of the first per-
son who will devise means of recover.
ing them. Inventors in every part OF
the world are building submarine
boats, diving armor, dredging appar-
atus, and other devices, solely for the
purpose of finding and bringing to the
surface these sunken treasures.
The two main problems to be solved
are those of protection against water
pressure and of providing light in
which to wrok. The later problem is
more easily solved than the former.
Modern developments in electric light
ing make it practically certain that
powerful searchlights can be devised

erations at depths as great as 400 feet
Divers who have been down $50 feet
agree that even when the sun is shin
ing brightly the ocean depths are in
semidarkness, which increases as one
descends.
! The other and more serious problem
is that of pressure. The ordinary div
er's equipment depends upon a con-
slant supply of air pumped in from
above, and a rubber suit with a metal
helmet, all air tight, or nearly so, to
keep the water from rushing in the
minute the pressure of air pumped
through the hose becomes less that the
water pressure from outside. Theoret-
ically, of course, the air pressure could
be maintained at a point that would
equalize the water pressure, but what
would become of the diver? Men work.

teacher had been a most valuable adj
dltlon to the school force. 1t is this
teachers duty to take charge of the
most difficult cases, advising with the
mothers, learning all she can of the
conditions which tend to make a child
backward, and then doing all in her
power to remedy the conditions.
The second half of the session was
devoted to the discussion of the I'm
migrant in Labor Camps and Isolated
Communities" H. H Wheaton told of
the disadvantages under which the
migrant is placed in isolated labor
ing camps, which are either of tenn
porary construction or attached to
some organized industry, and which
are usually under the management of
an INSCRIPTIONS "padrone,' who not
only uses all forms of graft, but who
supplies insanitary dwellings and also
robs them in every possible way. Mr..
Wheaton made a plea for legislation
which should regulate the conditions
existing for educating the immigrants
living in them.

ed up dead Two English naval offic-
ers are said to have descended 21O
feet, but could remain at that depth
only few seconds.
The problem of getting down to the
deep-lying treasure ships, therefore, is
essentially one of constructing a me-
chanism sufficiently tight to withstand
the terrific water pressure. 1t must
carry its own supply of oxygen, since
any sort of flexible air tube would be
crushed fiat long before a depth of
400 feet is reached, and it must be so
constructed that the diver inside t
can accomplish something after he
reaches the wreck, even if he can d.
nothing more than attach a graphing
hook to copper ingot
The encouragement for inventors
working along these lines is found in
the knowledge already at hand Of
wrecks bearing treasures, some Of
which have been sunk for hundreds OF
years, In 1902, a Spanish fleet carry
ing quantities of gold from Santo Do
mingo sank off the Island of Santa
Lucia at an unknown depth, in hur-
ricane that drove the ships of Chris
tOpher Columbus into a nearby harb-
or for safety From then on, for two
centuries, the record of the Spanish
conquest of America is filled with re-
ports of sunken treasure ships bear
ing the riches of Peru and Mexico
back to Spain.
Probably no diver will ever reach
the wreck of the Titanic, which lies 2
miles deep in mid ocean, where the
water pressure reaches the tremend-
Gus force of 4,574 pounds to the square
inch, but it is easily possible that
some of the/inventors now working on
the main problems involved will reap
Iincalculable riches from wrecks yet
to be discovered at depths of 1000 feet
or more.

TEhCK1,,C T--E IMMIGRANT

The public conference on the educa-
ton of the immigrant, under direction
of the New York-New Jersey commit
tee of the North American Civic
League for Immigrants, has just held
its first meeting at the College of the
City of New York. Part of the session
was devoted to a discussion of the
domestic education of the immigrant.
The first paper told of the difficult
ties encountered by domestic educa-
tors in overcoming the prejudices and
superstitions of the average immi-
grant women, and of the Importance
of teaching them the advantages Of
sanitary conditions in their homes.
Domestic education" said Mrs.
Hansen, has given the immigrant wo-
man the knowledge of how to be a
good wife and mother in strange
country"
Miss Winifred Gibbs, of the teach
ers College, spoke on How to Teach
Immigrant Mothers Family Dietetics
and Cookery" Miss Gibbs said that
the fundamental idea in her branch OF
the work was to teach the immigrant
women to make the most of their own
resources in a practical way, by a
system of marketing lessons and by
teaching them economic cooking.
Miss Helen Kline made plea for
trained workers, and Miss Mabel II.
Kittridge told of the need for model
homes in various neighborhoods and
particularly on Ellis Island, where
immigrant women could get an i'm

WORLD PEACE A LOFTY IDEAL
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Lofty ideals that are attainable
should be realized by all means at the
earliest possible moment, and even
those that are not possible to attain in
thepresent should be constantly kept
in view to be realized in the nearest
future.
There are thoughts of the Grecian
philosophers shat have instructed eV-
cry intervening generation; there are
visions of the Hebrew prophets that
have encouraged men for ages; there
are words of great teachers of man
kind, of brilliant leaders, of noble he
roes, often of humble and lowly, that
will ring clear and loud with en-
couragement to millions yet unborn.
No higher ideal was ever placed be-
fore the everpassing, neverending col
umns of mankind, in their march from
the cradle to the grave, than that
which fas impressed upon the shep-
herds of Judea when they heard the
anthem of praise to the Creator and
the proclamation of peace on earth
and good will toward men.
That peace was not attainable under
Herod, nor Constantine, nor under
emperor, car, king, prince, or potiI
from the hour it was heard on the
plains and mountains by the shep-
herds until this most glorious of the
centuries, still it is an ideal that
should never be lost to the mind or
the sight of man
But while we progress to that
mighty realization it will not do to as
sumo that the world is yet of one
mind as to the Punishment of war, or
that it is and will ever remain a unit
for peace.
1t is we'll for the President and the
Secretary of State to propose disarm
ament to a world in arms; it is ad~
visable 40 propose arbitration for the
disputes of nations, and, while it is
being discussed by elder and younger
statesmen of all the continents, it is
eminently wise to see that our maya
zines of ammunition are as full as
any; that our batteries are numerous
and amply equipped, and that fleets Of

men, and flying the Stars and Stripes.
are available for defense of our coasts
and the Panama Canal
The republic stands for peace, but
until arms are grounded from pole to
pole, until the swords are beaten into
pruning hooks on every continent, and
armed vessels are converted into
peaceful freighters in every port and
upon every sea, it would be folly for
the United States to leave itself naked
and unprotected before its enemies.
It was peace that was proclaimed
by the angels, and it is hoped by good
men that time will make all men an
gelic, but even our Presid" mt or Sec
rotary of State would scarcely aver
that such a desirable condition has
yet been arrived at, even in the Cap
ital OF this nation.
Let all departments of our govern
ment stand firmly for universal peace
at the earliest moment possible, but
until disarmaments are universal let
our Congress provide promptly for
efficient armies and formidable fleets
