Bernard Grant, photographer
with the Turkish army. thus describ-
es the final attack of the Bulgarians
upon the Tchataldja lines before the
armistice, in his book, "The Balkan
War"
From a dismantled fort we watch
cd a thrilling scene. The Turkish
rifle fire from the trenches was very
thick. / shall never forget the pc
culiar rushing whir Of it, terrible in
its intensity and the menace Of Its
sound When we imagine that one OF
those bullets, whose shrill note blend
ed into this great chorus Of swift
shot. might find a little mark, it was
grim in its significance. There was
no lack of ammunition in those
trenches. at Tshataldia.
THE Turkish soldiers seemed to
be firing almost continuously, reload
ing as fast as they could and sweep
ing the enemies lines with perfect
hurricane Of lead. Only now and
then did the fire drop and languish
away. In a few moments il would
break out again fiercely, with that
kind Of screaming song of death
which cannot be described in words
but which leaves an ineffaceable sem
sation in the minds of those who

those flying shells, which burst high

with those sudden flashes of flame,
those white puff balls, those burst

Perhaps if they had been as inno-
cent as fireworks, the sight of them
would soon have become tedious, but
our imagination was set at work.
One realizes the deadly effect of
those high mounting shells. One
knows the terror that falls with
them.
Il have since seen criticisms of
the Bulgarian artillery. It has been
alleged by at least one critic who
can STEAK as an eye witness, that the
guns were badly served, and the
gunnery was not at all good. It is his
opinion that there was no real SUI
periority on the Bulgarian side over
the Turkish guns, and that it was
luck and recklessness of life. and
the irresistible nature of the in
fantry attacks which enabled the Bull
garians to achieve their success.

Adrauc, and even Russia has give it's assest to the
blockade. Il is hoped that this demonstration will
induce Montenegro to heed the demand Of Ausro-
Hungary that the Montenegrin siege OF scutari be

Nicholas will refuse to be influenced by the blockade
and that he viii carry the siege to a successful con-
cluson I'm the hope that he will be able to make dplo-

to the Powers disquetlng feature of the situation
is that the other allies have expressed Willingness to

OBJECTIONS TO WORLD TRIP
Several Players Hesitate Before
Agreeing to Put Up Money to
Pay Travelling Expenses.

Plans for tour Of the world by the
New York Giants and the Chicago
White Sox, after the present baseball
season have been perfected with the
exception of one important item.
The players of the teams, If they want
to trot around the globe, each must
put up 81, 800 beforehand to guarantee
expenses. OF course, if the promo
tiers of the tour make money out of
exhibition games on American ard
foreign soil the players money will
be returned to them when settling
time comes, and there may be some
thing to boot.
But just now many of che New York
and Chicago players do not see why
they should be asked to put up SO
much as silver dollar. In fact, some
of them speak plainly. They will not
pack their kits and travel around the
earth unless the promoters pay every
thing.
Tradition shows that ball players,
as a rule, never have displayed eager
ness to dig deeply into their own peck
cts for trips of pleasure or barnstorm-
ing tours. When A. G. Spalding took
the Chicagos and All-Americans
around the world In 1888 he financed
everything and probably lost some
money. But the players had no cause
for worry.
Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the
White Sox; Jimmy CallahaR, manager,
ard Ted Sullivan, chief booster. to-
gether with Leader McGraw Of the
Giants are aware of the unwillingness
Of some of the players to put up the
necessary guarantee, but they are not
talking for publication just now. In
fact, McGraw refuses to discuss the
trip until the Giants are sure of the
pennant and a slice of the worlds

Comiskey and Callahan, it is said.

other American league teams, with the

VISIT TOMB OF ST. STEPHEN
Thousands of InvaIids Gather Twice
Year to lmplore Intercession
of the Martyr.

In little church near Jerusalem,
on the site of the ancient Capharga-
mala, thousands of the halt and lame
gather semi-annually to celebrate the
festival of the finding of st. Stephens
relics, to gaze on the bones of the first
Christian martyr and to beg his inter
cession for the relief of their ailments.
st. Stephen was one of the disciples
of Jesus and after the ascension was
chosen one of the seven deacons. For
his adherence to the new faith he was
stoned to death. In the calendar of
saints he has two festivals, falling on
December 26 and August 8, that of the
latter date commemorating the finding
of his relics.
After st. Stephens martYrdom his
body lay long concealed under the
ruins of an old tomb at Caphargama-
la, 20 miles from Jerusalem. At this
place. early in the fifth century, the
church was served by a venerable
priest named Lucian. According to
tradition, Lucian was twice visited by
a vision of ST. Stephen, who revealed

priest laid the matter before the bish-
op of Jerusalem, who ordered him to
search for the body of the first saint
at the place indicated.
The coffin was found and when
opened, according to the chroniclers,
there came out of it such a sweet
odor that no one remembered to have
ever smelled anything so agreeable"
A vast multitude" had assembled,
and. it is said, 73 persons present,
who were afflicted with various all
ments, were Immediately cured and

relics were left at Caphargamala, and

thought to possess miraculous healing
powers.

the other will need years of teaching.
For example: The Boston Nationals

Northwestern league for the present

James went to work at once, assumed
a regular turn on the slab, and has
pitched big league ball right along
just like a veteran. Noyes and
Strand are still on the bench, pitching
an inning now and then, and receiving
a primary education. Curious. isn't

ion as to who is the most influential
woman:
'She is no individual. She is that
impersonal woman known as the ev-
eryday mother She is the most in
fiuential, and always will be, because
she is at the seat of power of the ma
tion-because, day by day, month by
month, she is molding our future men
and women. What influence could be
stronger, further reaching, than that
which FORCES the destiny of the boys
and girls who, when they become men
and women, shape the destiny of the
world? There is but one answer to
your question. The most influential
woman, and the one worthy of the
greatest love and esteem, is the I'M

the difficulty in apportioning the credit
for being the most influential woman.
Also. it is matter of environment,
this deciding who is the greatest fem
mine benefactor, and therefore the
most influential If you are in a hos
pital you instinctively decide it is the
woman who out of her wealth endow-
ed such institutions; If you are hum

poor. Again, you may think that the
most influential woman in the United

PITCHERS TOUGH ON BUsHER
Lou criger, one-TIme Star Catcher,
Relates Amusing Incident of Debut
of Candy La Chance.

Lou Criger, the one-time star catch
er, jumps into print by saying that
the toughest thing which can happen
to youngster breaking into the ma
jor leagues is to make his debut
against pitching star or a couple of
them.
He says that one of the most
amusing things of this kind he can
recall was the time Candy La Chance
broke into the National league.
La Chance got berth with Brook
Ign, and the latter team had a series
on with New York at the time.
La Chance first faced Amos Rusie,
then in the heyday of his career, and
went down three times on strike-outs
in the only three games he was legal
ly up.
Next he got Meekin, and the same
performance took place. La Chance,
in other words, had struck out six
times in as many times UP in two
games.
After the second game he inquired
whether all the pitchers In the Ma
tional league were as good as Rusie
and Meekin, and was given the cheer
full information that they we're.
La Chance started to pack his be-
longings and quit the club, but some
one persuaded him to give the league
further trial, and, as a result, he
played for number of years in the
parent big body.
