THERE is NO DECLARATION OF
WAR BUT GENERAL FIGHTING
GOES ON.
ATTITUDE OF THE POWERS
It Is Reported From St. Petersburg
That Russia Threatens to Break of
Diplomatic Relations Unless Hos
tiities Cease At Once.

London. - Evidence that serious
fighting is occurring in Macedonia is
found in the arrival OF large numbers
Of wounded prisoners at the various
Balkan capitals, but owing to silence
at Sofia and to the conflicting and
probably biased stories from Servian
and Greek sources, it is impossible to
form any accurate idea of the struggle.
There has been no formal declara-
tion Of war and, although it is report
ed the Bulgarian Minister to Greece
has been recalled, he has not depart
ed from Athens.
The Servians claim victorious ad
vance to Kotchana but the Servian in
vasion Of Bulgaria has been repulsed
and Bulgaria, it is reported, is execut-
ing a turning movement which will
nullify the .Servian movement.
Suspension of judgment regarding
the operations, therefore, is advisable
in the absence of accurate accounts.
The reported change in the minis
try at Sofia has not been confirmed,
but is regarded as probable. Roman
ia has officially proclaimed the mob.
ilization of her full strength, but her
intentions are still unknown.
= The French Government has infor-
mally approached the other Powers
with the object of obtaining declara-
tion Of non-intervention.
The greatest anxiety prevails in fl
nancial circles at ST. Petersburg where
the report was current that the En-
peror had threatened to break off dip
lomatic relations with the Balkan
States unless hostilities ceased.

His Mother.

She sat on the orch in the sunshine
AS went down the street.
A woman whose hair was silver,
But whose face was blossom-sweet
Making me think of garden
Where, in spite O! frost and snow,
Of bleak November weather,
Late fragrant lilies grow.
I heard footstep behind me,
Aud soand of a mercy laugh,
And I knew the heart it came from
Would be like comforting staff.
In the time and the hour of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong,
One of the hearts to lean OH
When we think that things 90 wrong
I turned at the click of the gate-latch,
And met his manly look;
A face like his gives me pleasure,
Like the page of pleasant book.
It told of steadfast purpose,
Of brave and daring will
A face with promise in it
That God grant the years fulfill.
He went up the pathway singing;
7 saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with a wordless welcome,
As sunshine wa1ms the skies.
"Back again, sweetheart mother -
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face that was lifted
For what some mothers miss.
That boy will do to depend on;
I hold that this is true;
From lads in love with their mothers
Our bravest heroes grew.
Earth's grandest hearts have been
loving hearts
Since time and earth began,
And the boy who kissed his mother
Is every inch a man
