TURKEY FEARS
BALKAN STATES
Expects Them to Enter the War on the Side of the
AIIies-Troops and Artillery Being Concentrated
at AdianopIe Conflicting Reports from Various
Fields

There are further indications that Tur-
key expects other Balkan nations to en-
ton. the war on the side Of the allies. AT
Adrianople, the nearest important Turkish
town to the Bulgarian frontier, troops
are being concentrated and the artillery
increased
The Russian and Austrian reports con
cegning the struggle in the Carpathians
are at variance, although they agree that
heavy fighting is continuing.
The Russian war office claims successes
along the front, but the Austrian authori-
tics state that the Russian attacks were
driven back
Similar conflicts appear between the
GERMAN and Russian reports Of the fight
ing in the north.
The Russian Black sea fleet has lombard
ed several Turkish towns in Asia Minor
and it is stated that considerable damage
,sas done including the sinking Of several
ships THIS claim is contradicted at Con
stantinopc
Evidences of a revival OF activity IL
tho west are no longer apparent. The
French attack in the Champagne region
which met with a measure Of success
apparently is no longer being pushed, ant
although the Germans are reported t,
have brought large forces into Alsace onl,
the customary occasional fighting is il
progress there.
French and Belgium operations are ~
most at a standstill.
The German war office announced soda.
that 5000 Russians were captured il
March
It was said semi officially in Petrogra,
th5t the German siege at Ossowetz ha,
been definitely abandoned. This was II
tcrpreted as meaning that the Gerrna
offcnses in the north had been gi.en p.
Berlin dispatches stated that the Gel

The meeting Of the BrattIeboro Athletic
ASSOCIATION last evening in the Brooks
House resulted in the election Of board
OF directors and empowering them to de-
eide whether Bratteboro shall have league

ION OF the board, such a move meets with

stood that. while the meeting was consid-
erIng baseball only, the association was
for the purpose OF promoting other forms

in others, especially track meets
The directors were elected unanimously
NJ, G. Houghton said that he did not
believe it was the province of such a
meeting to decide the question Of whether

He believed the directors should find ont
and decide whether Drattleboro could llnC
the support for a team and suggested that
the board be empowered to look into the
matter and make a decision which shoull
be final.
James H. Allen asked that the sugges

Houghton had complied with the reques

 At that period the "Countesse sera~

 scarcely ot1t ef. her teens, but she as-
 serted that she was past sixty, and
 attributed her youthful appeArance te a esrtaih "'w1ne of Egypt;'' which
 She sold at fabulous prices, declaring
 that the Use of a few drops a day of
 this precious elixir of youth would
 restore bloom and vigor to aged wo-
 men and men. Most of the time the
 ceufb and countess lived on the street
 called Easy. but occasionally the crop of suckers failed them, and they were
 reduced to dire straits.
 In London CRgliostro announced
 himself as the diBcoverer of the origt-
 nal system of Egyptian masonry in stituted by Enooh and Elijah, and proclaimed it his mission to- restore the sacred brotherhood to its ancient glory. At the conclusion of the long series of rites he promised to initiate l his followers into the mysteries of l the philosophers stone, restore them 1 to the prfneva1 innocence forfeited | by Adams fall, and give them tho l blessing of eternal youth. The count l as the Grand Cophta, and the countess as the Grand Prfestess. they 1 travelled all over Europe, from Spain ] to Russia, discoursfng of the wonders 1 of Egyptian masonry, and living off 1 the fat of the land. His calm, as- 1 sured, impressive manner cast a, spell l over all with whom he came in con- 1 tact, and many great men were en- | rolled among his fervent followers. Next he settled in Strasburg where
 he won the friendship of Cardinal i Prince Louis de Rohan. The count
 lived in magnificent state, played the i role of phi1an nthropist among the 1 poor, and was said to have perform 1 ed hundreds of miraculous cures of all sorts of ailments He was also a
 spirit medium. and, for a. liberal con
 sideratfon produced the apparition of
 any desired spirit. Next he went to l Paris, under the patronage of the
 great and powerful cardinal prince.
 The famous affair of the diamond necklace, which De Rohan sold to | Marie Antoinette, resulted in impris-
 onment for the Cagiiostros and their
 princely dupe. After their release 1 the count and countess went to Lon don, where they were reduced to
 selling Egyptian love pi1ls.'' After ward they revisited Rome, and in
 cured the displeasure of the Holy
