Allies Must Fire First Shot.


London, Feb. 3.-The Porte has or
dered the Turkish plenipotentiaries
not to leave London until hostilities
are resumed and has instructed the
army to await the attack before firing
a shot.
Thus the Ottomans, who, with the
exception of the Montenegrins, are the
only delegates left in London, remark
ed that nobody could accuse them of
not having done all that was humanity
possible to come to terms.
Animated by humanitarian spirit,
they added, Turkey wished to avoid
useless carnage and wished also to
show Difference to the advice of the
powers, although Europe had been I'M
fair toward Turkey.
DR.. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian
delegation, before leaving the capital,
recalled what he had said in his first
statements on arriving in London; that
the Balkan peoples who had adapted
the Monroe doctrine to their peninsula
aspired to become the Americans Of
Europe. They had inaugurated a pol
icy of sincerity and straightforward
ness, as was proved by their frank con-
duct in the peace conference, swhere
they demanded from the first exactly
what they intended to take, against
the double dealing on the part of the
Turks.
The Balkan representatives, he said,
would not have waited to their own
disadvantage so long before resuming
hostilities but for the genuine regard
in which the Balkan kingdoms held
the powers. He again rejected the
idea that even small fraction of
Adrianople should be retained by Tur-
key.
Dr. Daneff concluded by saying:
turkey should have understood
that she must abandon Europe entire
Iv. her permanence there being op-
posed not only by the allies, but by
the powers themselves, as shown by
their collective note. Turkey has re-
fused to quit peacefully, but will be
forced to do so by another war, after
which, fully realizing the strength of
the Balkan states, she will become
their friend"

PEARL RIVER OUT
Of BANKS and
RISING
LARGE SECTION NORTH OF JACK
SON is ovERFLoWED-sTATE
GROUNDS SUBMERGED.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 3.-Pearl river
showed nearly twenty-eight feet on
the guage this morning, and the
stream is out of its banks and flood
ing the lowlands between Jackson and
Carthage.
Heavy rains have fallen during the
past twenty-four hours, and the stream
will continue to rise for several days.
Thus far very little damage has re-
suited from the overflow.
At this point the backwaters of the
river have submerged the state fair
grounds and the baseball park be-
hind the old capitol building, and is
slowly creeping up the embankment
of the Rankin county turnpike. 1t is
not likely, however, that wagon traf-
fic along the turnpike will be sus-
pended, but there is danger that COM
munication with the northern part of
Rankin will be cut off because of in
undation of the lowlands.
This is the first time in many years
that Pearl river has passed the 27-
foot stage during the early part of the
year. The stream usually goes out
of its banks during the spring months.

a ragged hole chopped through the

not hear any one, but the would-be-
burglar was evidently scared away.

department. Officers Bienapfi and

lice Eli Klugherz, Officer Frank

through which the thieves entered

some ammunition.
Taking Up the Scent.
As soon as she got the scent, Queen
darted off toward the alley like
shot, and followed the trail at a
brisk pace south on the alley, down
Minnesota street, across the rail
road yards to the "jungles" along
the river. Near the "iungles' the
dog left the track and went into
the high grass and bushes about ten
or fifteen PAGES. She circled and
came back, making her way at a
pace that made her followers per-
spire in streams and hurl abuses at
the uneven ground. Queen re-cross-
ed the Omaha yards, passed the tub
factory and then shot out in a bee
line straight out in the Milwaukee
tracks. When the party arrived at
the Front street crossing, halt was
called. "Shall we go on?' asked the

us clear to Good Thunder said the
