new BALKAN WAR
SEEMS POSSIBLE
Allies Apparently on Verge Of
Disintegration.

London, May 2S.-Peace in the Bal
kans seems a long way off and the
Balkan alliance, which held together
long enough to bring about the de-
feat of Turkey, apparently is on the
verge of disintegration before the al
lies reap the fruits of their costly
victory.
In fact, a new Balkan war more
serious perhaps than the fight against
the Moslems now is iminent.
In diplomatic circles Servia's rep
reservations to Bulgaria amount to an
ultimatum and as the government at
Sofia is said to be not likely to grant
the demands of Servia the alliance is
apt to be broken in so far as it ap-
plies to Bulgaria and Servia.
Although it was said that no fight
ing was going on Greece and Bull
garia are still in a state of war
around 'Saloniki, and it is believed
these two states will break their pact.
1t is believed both Greece and Ser
via are relying on outside aid in their
actions and NJ. Danieff, the Bulgarian
peace plenipotentiary now in London,
is authority for the declaration that
Bulgaria regards the present situa-
tion as intolerable and will yield
neither to Servia nor to Greece.

Colonel Roosevelt on Stand
at Marquette, Mich.
FIRST WITNESS At TRIAL
Says He is Not a Total Abstainer,
but Drinks SparingIy of Light
Wines-Has Never Used Whisky or
Brandy Except or Doctors Prescrip-
ton or After Great Exposure.

Marquette, Mich. May 2S.-ln the
elaborate but small courtroom of this
frontier city, Theodore Roosevelt alr
peared in what is probably an unique
occasion in history when in effect he,
although a former president of the
United States. defended himself under
oath against an allegation of drunk
enness. His direct testimony lasted
about an hour and cross-examination
Immediately began.
In substance Colonel Roosevelt de
Tended himself as a man of complete
sobriety, although not a total alb
stainer. The leading points in his
testimony may be quoted as follows:
II am not total abstainer."
II have never drunk highball or a
cocktail in my life"
81 do not smoke and l do not drink
beer and I don't drink red wine.'
II have never drunk whisky OF
brandy except when the doctor pre-.
scribed it, or possibly on some occa.
sion after great exposure when l was
chilled through"
Wine List Is Restricted.
1.-The only wines have drunk have
been white wines, Madeira, cham
payne or very occasionally glass OF
sherry
"At home at dinner ! often drink a
glass or two of white wine and Poland
water"
"At public dinners sometimes
drink glass of champagne or per
haps two. On an average may drink
one glass of champagne MONTH
There was a fine mint bed. at the
White House and may have drunk
7 half a dozen mint juleps there IN q
year.
"Since leaving the White House
think I have tasted mint juleps twice
part of glass at st. Louis and a
sip from loving cup at Little Rock,
Ark.
AS Colonel Roosevelt remarked that
he might have drunk half dozen
mint juleps in year at the White
House, litter went round the room
when. Attorney Pound on direct ex-
| animation asked if he drank them all
at one time, or more than one at a
time.
To the best of plaintiffs recollec-
tion he had never in his life taken
more than one on the same occasion.

FEARS COURSE OF NATION
Head of Santa Fe Distrustfui Of
Country's Political Future.

Chicago, May 2S.-E. P. Ripley,
president of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad. is distrustful of the
country's political future. He has no
downright fear that the United States
is heading for disaster: the tendency
may be controlled in time to prevent
catastrophe. There are certain
signs which make him hopeful that
the headlong course will be stopped,
but he is far from sure.
The house and senate, in his view.
are dangerously radical Wilson, to
him, is as yet an unknown quantity.
The one compensating factor in
Washington is that which is relative
to the railways. He believes that the
interstate commerce commission Is
less perilous than it was. say year
ago.
