TURKEYS REPLY TO
POWERS EVASIVE
Force May Be Necessary to
Compel Good Behavior.

London, Aug. 12.-With the Balkan
peace treaty signed and out of the
way the powers faced more serious
Turkish problem, because of the
treaty provisions. The peace treaty
provides for the immediate demobili-
zation of the Bulgarian army. and the
question now confronting the great
powers is who will force the Turk to
respect the new frontier fixed by the
treaty of London.
A force of more than 100000 Turks
is now in Thrace and their activities
menace the peace of the Balkans
Bulgaria, Servia and Greece are ap-
prehensive that the Ottomans will be-
come more aggressive with the with
drawal of the Bulgarian forces. A
dispatch from Constantinople says
that the porte's answer to the powers,
demanding that Adrianople be evacu-
ated and the new frontier respected,
is evasive in terms.

would embarrass the government Dy
indiscretion of that sort
There is reason to believe that be-
fore his mission to Mexico is ended
Mr.. Lind will have suggested more
than the mere fulfillment of the prom
ise by General Huerta that elections
be held. 1t has been pointed out that
such demand is not wholly consis-
tent, since the promise to hold elec-
tions In October has already been
made, and intimations of bad faith
are out of taste at the present time.
Mr.. Lind does not propose to act
hastily, though he will lose no time,
and IL may be that all his work in
Mexico will be finished in three weeks,
and possibly much sooner. If General
Huerta persists in being unwilling to
see him, O'Shaughnessy, the charge
d'affaires, will transmit Lfnd's CON-
munications.
The arrival of Mr.. Lind has been
devoid of any thrills. When the per.
sonal representative of President VIII.
son alighted from his train after q
tedious days journey from Vera Cruz
only a few persons were about the
station.
The party was received by Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, secretary of the Unit
ed States embassy, who has been act
ng as charge d'affaires since the resig.
nation of Ambassador Wilson, and
Charles +. Park, a member of the
embassy staff. Police in large num-
bers guarded the approach to the sta
ton, but as the party was driven of
to a hotel where reservations had
been made the public generally as
sumed an apathetic attitude.

FLAYS COTTON INTERESTS
Senator Hollis Attacks New England
Textile Manufactures.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Hol.
lis of New Hampshire, Democrat, fay
ed the cotton manufacturers of New
England in a tariff speech in which
he declared that New England had
been Disseminated against and char
acterized as false the charge that tar
III reduction would ruin the textile
industry.
The cotton manufacturers have
taken the highest protection and paid
pauper wages" said he. They are
compelled by statute TO work humane
hours and conduct their business on
humane lines; and not one voluntarily
has reduced the hours of labor.
They seek to control the govern
ment. to prevent labor legislation, es-
cape Just taxes, to control the police
and inferior courts and secure MILL
tary aid for the suppression of strikes.
II is a question whether one-sided de.
velopment of this kind is best for any
community"

City of Mexico, Aug. 12.-John Lind,

lively uneyentful experience in Mex

Before leaving Vera Cruz Mr.. Lind
was visited by General Gustavo Mas,
the military commander there, he be-

the emissary. The meeting took place
at the train just before Mr.. Lind's de-
parture, and General Mas also did
him the honor to parade a small de-
tachment of troops alongside his
train.
The monotony of the trip in the reg
ular day train from Vera Cruz to the
capital was broken by an enforced de-

the region which has been the scene
of rebel operations.

In Forty-eight Hours.

Washington, Aug. 12.-President
Wilson let it be known that he is in-
clined to believe there is an organ
ized desire-proceeding from sources
unknown TO him--to bring on a war
between the United States and Mex
ico.
The president does not regard the
movement as extensive, but as very
troublesome, and referred to misrep.
resentations in some individual new
papers.
He indicated that he shared some
what the views of Senator Williams,
Who declared in a speech recently
that an organized lobby existed to in
volve the United States in war.
There is no occasion for alarm in
the opinion of the president, who
told callers that within the last forty
eight hours the Mexican situation has
been improved materially. 1t was
made clear by the president that the
instructions to John Lind, his personal
representative, chiefly were to inform
the American government how things
stood generally in Mexico.
Sooner or later, ii was pointed out,
Mr.. Lind will make certain sugges-

through the American embassy, but

been determined upon fully. Any
thing in the suggestions that properly
may be made public will be revealed,
