BULGARIA PREPARED FOR
WAR AGAINST TURKEY

Sofia. June 19.-(Correspondence OF
the Associated Press The Bavarian
army is now far better prepared for
war than it was for the Balkan war
of 1912. 1t comprises four divisions
of 10000 men ready for action, with
another ten divisions of 100000 men
ready for action, with another ten
of first line reserves who could be
modified in few days. If neces-
sity should arise this force could be
more than doubled.
Bugaria's entry into the war as
the foe OF Turkey would relieve
pressure on the allies to the south.
Adrianople, which the Bulgarians were
forced to hand back to the Turks
after the last Balkan struggle, has
been denuded of its arms for use in
the Dardanelles campaign. This
ought easily to fall to the Bulgarians,
who could then cross down to Ro-
dosto and the sea of Marmora. This
would cut Constantinople off from
Keshan. where the Turks have con-
centrated their forces for the oper-
ations on the Gallipoi peninsula. At
least the Turks would be reduced
to communication by sea.
Bulgaria no longer demands Salon
ika. Her claims are small compared
with those of the other Balkan ma
tions. being confined to the really
Bulgarian portion Of Macedonia with
Kavalla and its natural outlets on the
Aegean sea. q

HOW GERMANS POISONED THE
WATER SUPPLY IN AFRICA

Capetown, June 19.-The alleged
methods OF the Germans in poisoning
the water supply, when forced to re-
treat in South Africa are thus de-
scribed in a dispatch from a British
officer at Aus, German Southwest
Africa;
All the wells and boreholes at
Aus had been damaged and the water
spoiled by putting large quantities OF
creosote in it. In the wells they put
the creosote in tin, which had a
small hole in the top through which
a piece of cord passed. The tin was
wired 10 the bottom of the well, and
this, of course, insured a continual
pollution for a good while, if the tin
was not removed.
AS it happened, some of the wells
were soon emptied and the tins thus
discovered, so We soon had sweet
water to drink, but for three or four
days all our drinks-tea, coffee and
even milk were favored with a
strong carbolic bouquet. We had to
put up with it, though it was far from
palatable.'
The same writer describes the dan
ger from land mines left by the re-
treating Germans: "Plateaus and
mountain sides were soon found to be
sprinkled with contact mines, very
cleverly buried or concealed by rocks
and gravel. Generally we drove
mules or cattle over the suspected
ground ahead OF us. Only two of the
mines at Aus did any particular dam.
age on exploding. They killed four
mules and one horse, and wounded an
officer. Ninety-five of the mines have
been dug up by the engineers. but
villagers say that the Germans plant
ed over four hundred, so there are
possibly many more yet to be discoy-
cred. We move about the outskirts
circumspectly, like cats, and take
care to avoid places suitable for
mines"

OF Interes, 70 Ardmore Readers.

For months Ardmore citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, by
residents of this locality.
Would these prominent people
recommend a remedy that had not
proven reliable?
Would they confirm their state

sonal experience had not shown the
remedy to be worthy Of endorsement?
The following statement should
carry conviction to the mind of ev-

1t is not quite yet apparent, how
ever. that the Lupkow pass and Its
vastly important railway has fallen
into the hands of the Russians.
Both Austrian and Russian official

vaguely, so that it is impossible to
determine definitely whether the
metal line of communication into
Hungary for which the Slavs are now
fighting, has been won. In all prob
ability, the Austrians still retain pos

German lreinforcements are being
rushed to the assistance of the hard

establish themselves on the Hungarian
side of the Lupkow pass before the
Germans arrive, they will have won
highly important tactical advantage.
This is the immediate work now be-
