BALKAN ALLIES OPEN FIRE
ON FORTS AT ADRIANOPLE
Possibilities Recommence Promptly as
Armistice Expires-Turks Are
Prepared for War

London, Feb. 5.-The Times says
that a report is current among Balkan
representatives that Turkey has tele-
graphed Sofia an offer to cede Adrian
ople on conditions laid down and that
Bulgaria is ready to accept.
Bombardment of Adrianople by the
Balkan allies began at seven o'clock
Monday night. A skirmish occurred
also at the Tchatalja lines.
Bulgaria has turned deaf ear to
the remonstrances of the powers
against resumption of the war.
Unless Turkey yields to the Balkan
demands the allied armies will at
tempt to drive the Turks out of Eu-
rope.
Constantinople, Feb. 5.-Turkey en-
tered upon the new phase of the war
with the allies after weeks Of effective
preparation. The Turks did not aban-
don hope of securing peace until the
expiration of the armistice arrived,
but they had not been Idle in the
meantime. All war stores available
were sent to the front and the hos
pitfalls at the front we're cleared of
their patients and put in order for the
care of the wounded in the forthcom-
ing battles.
Berlin, Feb. 5.-A special dispatch
to the Cologne Gazette states that the
Kurdish cavalry stationed in the Ash
attic section Of Constantinople are in
open insurrection against the new gov
eminent. They demand the execution
of the assassins of Nazim Pasha and
openly defy the new war minister, who
has vainly ordered them to return to
their homes

NEED OF CARPETS FOR ROADS
English Expert Recommends Use of
an "EIastic Skin" on the
Highways.

A lecture was recently delivered by
a member Of the board before the
Royal Institute Of London on tThe
Road-Past, Present and Future &C
cording to Consular and Trade Re
ports. The lecturer said the problem
was to find the best mode by which
road should be constructed so that its
surface would not be broken by traf-
fic, so that the transit might be easier
for both passengers and goods, road
which would form neither puddle
holes nor exude mud from vehicles
and create no dust when the weather
was dry.
One thing was universally recog-
nized, that the road of the future
should be truly bound road il which,
whatever kind of stone was used, the
stone should be held together so that
it would form a crust. The lecturer
suggested that what he called car
pet or an elastic skin should be adopt
ed as the covering
The carpet, he thought, should De
made of bituminous material mixed
with sand and placed on the roads IN
various thicknesses, according to the
nature of the traffic. 1t should go on
in liquid form, solidifying quickly, but
always remaining resilient and com
pressible, and SO migrating with tho
crust of the surface below.
The advantage OF such carpet, it
was said would be to permanently
protect the crust. and, just as carpet
on the floor softens the STEP so would
this carpet for the roads silence the
noise and reduce the shock of rolling
vehicles 1t was admitted that the or
iginal cost of road SO laid would be
more than that of mud bound road,
but spreading the cost over a series

A Few Hints For This Important Part

A Few Hints For This Important Part
Of Maintenance Work.
The work Of pruning should be be-
gun at the top Of the tree and COM
pleted at the bottom. In this way the
desired form can be better secured.
and there is less danger Of accident.
The men employed should be careful
not to do more damage by breaking
and bruising than they do good by
pruning. A rope properly adjusted
about the waist and fastened to q
stout limb above the workman is an
excellent means of sustaining the prin-
cipal weight Of the body while moving
about through the tree. The form and
direction of the cut when removing
branches depend upon the position Of
the branch on the tree and upon
whether it is to be simply shortened
or entirely removed.
Erect branches are shortened by cut
ting them ut an angle. thus preventing
the undue entrance Of water, while
side branches are cut perpendicularly
for the same reason.
