TURKS PREPARED TO ATTACK.
WILL ENDEAVOR WITH FLEET
TO PREVENT SERVIANS FROM
ASSISTING ALLIES
Believed That AdrianOpIc Will Fall
Within the Week with CapituIation
of Turkish Army on Bold Strike for
Freedom.

London, March 12-News from
AdrianOple, the invested Turkish
fortress, is meagre, but dispatches
from COnstantnOple say it is believed
that the end of the present week will
see either the capitulation of the
fortress or a desperate attempt by
Shukri Pasha to break through the
lines of the enemy.
The allies reply to the powers re-
garding mediation again is delayed
and will not be delivered before Fri
day and there is little doubt that be-
fore European diplomacy can get to
work on the problem Adrianople will
be in possession of the allies.
The Turks are seemingly preparing
for another attack by their fleet in
an attempt to prevent the Servian
army from assisting the MOntenegrins
in their attack on Scutari. The Turk
ish cruiser Hamidieh today bombarded
and probably is watching for the
Greek transports with several thou
sand Servian troops aboard.
1t is reported that the entire Turk
ish fleet of Is units, has been re-
paired and is concentrated at Nag
hara, in the Dardanelles.
1t is confirmed that Austria will
disband only about $4,000 reservists
in Galicia.

the BALKAN SITUATION.
DIPLOMATS AND STOCK MARKETS
KEPT IN STATE OF NER-
VOUS TENSION.
Fighting Resumed at Tchatalja and
Bulair>-As Soon as one Problem L.
solved Others of aS Difficult u Ma
turc Present Themselves.

London, March 1.-THE chancel-
lerieS and stock markets are being
Kept in a condition of nervous ten
sion. No sooner does any one thorny
problem seem in the way of solution
than another crops up.
Tonight the long expected agree
ment for Austro- Russian demobili-
zation is published; the allies have ac-
cepted the powers offer of mediation
under certain conditions and arrange
ments have been completed for the
settlement Of the dispute between Bull
garia and Roumania by a conference
OF ambassadors at st. Petersburg.
presided over by Sergius Sazonoff, the
Russian foreign minister.
Thus the way seems prepared for
restoration Of peace in the Balkans.
But at the same moment a new diff
hculty has been raised by Austria
which objects to Servia going to the
assistance of Montenegro and is en-
deavoring to enlist the powers to her
side to coerce Servia. Further, Aus
tria declines to demobilize as far as
the Servian frontier is concerned.
1T appears, therefore, that the fate
of Scutari still is a menance to the
peace OF Europe. Austria is deter
mined to make Scutari the capital Of
autonomous Albania
Montenegro is equally determined
on the possession of Scutari, and in
the present temper of the allies it
seems hardly likly that Servia will
desist in her intention.
According to dispatches from Vien-
ma and Belgrade. Greek transports are
landing more large Servian forces at
San Guiovanni di Media. These will
assist in the capture of Scutari and
general attack on the town will be-
gin next week.
Ii is understood Russia will disband
$4,000 reservists under agreement
with Austria but that on Austrias s
side II can hardly be described as de-
mobilization, since q much smaller
number will be dispersed and only
from the Russian frontier.
n ConstantinOple dispatch tonight
reports that fighting has been resum-
ed both at Tchatalja and Bulair.
No particulars are given except
that the Bulgarian advance posts have
been attacked on both sides OF the
Turkish positions on the Gulf Of
Saros.

AUSTRIA PROTECTS SCUTARI.
Forbids Servia tO Send Any More
Troops To Aid OF MOntenegrins
Attacking Town

<htHaCkIItS IOWn.
Bel grade. Servia, March 1.-THE
Austrian government today took a
step regarded as equivalent to for
bidding Servia to send troops to as
sist the Montenegrins in capturing
the Turkish fortress of Scutari.
The Austrian minister objected to
Servian troops assisting la the siege
Of Scutari, which was to become the
capital OF Albania. lie requested the
immediate recall of any Servian
troops which had been dispatched
there.
The Servian premier in reply point
ed out that, under treaty arrange
ments, Servia was compelled to assist
her allies without regard to the fu-
ture of Scutari.
The situation Is regarded as ex-
.tremely delicate. Feeling here is at
a high pitch over the attitude taken
by Austria.
The fortress of Scutari, near the
Montenegrin frontier has been be-
sieged by the Montenegrins without
material success since the beginning
of the Balkan war. Its capture and
inclusion in the kingdom of Monte
negro were the chief reasons for King
Nicholas joining in the hostilities.
When the European powers de-
cided In principle on an autonomous
Albania, in which Scutari was to be
included, the king of Montenegro de-
clared he would enter the fortress at
the head of his troops, otherwise the
reign OF his family was doomed.
In the meantime the Servian
troops had completed their campaign
in Macedonia and Albania and ad-
vanced to the Adriatic coast at Du-
raZZo, whence on March they dis
patched on board transports 5000
Servian troops, including artillery, to
aid in the siege of Scutari.
1t was this activity of Servia which
called forth the Austrian protest to-
day

Its most significant utterance on this
occasion was something like this ::
we do earnestly urge all good farm
ers to join the union and present a
united force for more business-li lik @
methods of farming and marketing;
to use our credit wisely and be pre-
pared to hold our cotton next fall, if
the market is demoralzed by the fail
ure of many farmers to heed the
warnings that have been given.

ommend to our membership more at
tention to home supplies, stock and
