TURKS INVADE BULGARIA.
CROSS FRONTIER BEFORE DEC
LARATION OF WAR.
Ferdinand Speaks Bitterly of En-.
ropean Nations Which Allow Treaty
TO BE Broken.

London, July 24.-Without declar-
ing war and apparently trusting that
the jealousies of the powers will pre-
vent European interference, Turkey
has began an invasion of Bulgaria.
The Turks have occupied and burned
the villages on the Jamboli road and
1t Is reported have pushed their re-
connaissances to Philippopolis.
No information has been received
as to the strength Of the forces that
have crossed the frontier. Probably
they are only comparatively small
bodies of Enver Beys cavalry. Some
skirmishing has occurred on the from
tier, but seemingly the Bulgarians
have offered no serious resistance.
In Vienna it is reported that the
Turks have crossed the Bulgarian
frontier in three places, by the Mariza
and Lundja valleys, as we'll as in the
direction of JambOli.
telegram was received this af-
ternoon from the Bulgarian minister
in Paris reporting that Turkish troops
had entered the Bulgarian town of
Philippopolis. that the populace was
fleeing and that the situation was
desperate.
The Daily Chronicle reports that
tho Turks have occupied Dedeaghatch
on the Aegean sea.
King Ferdinand Of Bulgaria has
protested to the powers and appealed
for European intervention, but there
is no sign that Europe will act. Both
Greece and Servia are throwing OBJ
stacles in the way of an armistice,
while pushing their attacks in the di-
rection of Sofia.
1t Is reported Roumania has warned
Servia and Greece that if they con-
tinue their advance the Roumanian
army will be ordered to occupy Sofia
first.

APPEALS TO EUROPE.
King Ferdinand Calls for Aid Against
Turk

Turk.
Soma, July 24.-king Ferdinand to-
day summoned representatives Of the
powers to the palace and addressed
them as follows:
II am anxious to protest before Eu-
rope against the outrageous action
of the Turkish army, which, not con-
tent with violating the Treaty OF Lon
don, IS engaged in invading the old
territory Of my kingdom in the di-
rection Of Tirnova, Seimenli and jam
boil, and Is giving itself up to the
most frightful excesses, burning VIII
lagos, massacreing inhabitants and
spreading panic throughout Thrace.
Il can not believe that the great
powers who signed the diplomatic act
now being trodden under foot can
regard with indifference what Is be-
ing Gone today; and remain passive
under the insult placed upon them and
to the crimes Of which we are the
victims. In the distress in which
tho Bulgarian nation finds itself, l
have appealed on its behalf before the
representatives of civilization and beg
Europe, through your intermediary.
to put an end to the sufferings of
people fleeing before the return of
their old oppressors."

The Poor Mans Court.

One of the features in The new ia =
dicia! procedure in New York is the
Improvement OF the poor mans court
by cutting out much OF the technicali-
~ with which it is encountered. There
mas been an immense amount OF liti-
cation in this court. and experience
discloses the fact that the old techni-
cality abuse has seriously INSTRUCTED
IT. Technicality simply means that the
rich man has an advantage over the
poor man. II has no business iii a
poor mans court. aud no community
does itself honor that has not estab-
iishcd q court 10 which the poor may

TO be the boast in Virginia that every
man and all men stood on an equal
footing IN the courts. In these latter
days this boast has gone to the waste.
There is too much Of that thing we
call tcchnicality and there is too much
form and formality. Virginia needs
some reform along this line. 1t may
