TURKEYS RULER A SICK MAN
Sultan Must Feel Burdens Of His High
Office Press Heavily Upon His
Shoulders.

The sultan Of Turkey, Mohammed
V, the head of Islam and the thirty
sixth ruler of the house OF Osman. is
sick. Once such a report would bring
up visions OF royal relatives mysteri.

sultan,s Christian ally commends him
to Allah and sends his ablest physi-
clan.
When the young Turks lifted Ras-
child Effendi upon the throne from
which they had showed his brother.
Abdul Hamid. they dragged a man Of
~sixty-five from a palace where he had
been all his life scarcely more than a
prisoner. In years of inactivity his
body had grown big. big in width,
breadth and length, a burden for his
short legs. He was a sick man then.
On the Selaflik Fridays the chalky
paleness OF his heavy face and the
dullness of his eyes were accumulated
by the troops of young guardsmen in
brilliant uniforms and the officers in
glittering gold braid who surrounded
him. The picture had in it more Of
pathos than Imperialism.
When he went to appeal to the 10y
atty of the Albanians on the field of
kassovo. Macedonia, he was the first
Ottoman sovereign to visit his prov
noes OH a mission Of peace. But the
Albanians, who had imagined the sui
tan had wings and few of humanity's
frailties. were disappointed at the
sight of the heavy, feeble man in a
black frock coat, and the mission
failed. He seemed to lack either the
knowledge or the physical force to
combat the shrewd politicians around
him, and he became merely a figure
head for the dominant party of the
committee of union and progress.
Many things may happen with the
passing Of this sick He may be
the last Of the Osmanli to rule in Eu-
rope: he may be the last to bear the
honors and title of the caliphate. But
he has been a part OF the almost for.

empire, and has lived to see a Turkish
army with munitions of war and sup

BELGRADE TAKEN,
AUSTRO-GERMANS

TEUTONS ATTEMPT TO HEW WAY
THROUGH MAIN SERBIAN
ARMY AND JOIN NEW
ALLY.
BULGARIANS TO STRIKE
IN THREE DIRECTIONS
First Army will Move Against Serbia,
Second Will Fight Greece, While
Third Will Watch Roumania-
Allies to Reach Serbians In

Ten Days.
London, Oct. 12.-(Special.)-With
Belgrade and the hills surrounding the
ancient Serbian city captured, the
Austro-Germans are pushing eastwards
in an attempt to hew their way
through the main Serbian army wait
ing In the mountains and form a juno
ton with their new Bulgarian ally.
Eleven Bulgarian divisions in the
meantime are awaiting the order to
strike hard in three directions. The
first army under General Bogatcheff
will move against Serbia, with Uskub
as an objective, in order to cut the
Saloniki-Nish railroad and get between
King Peters forces and the reinforce
ments being rushed Ii y the Allies.
Army Ready to Fight Greece.
The second army under General
Toncheff will fight against Greece if it
becomes necessary. The third army
commanded by General Teodoroff will
be assigned to watch Rumania's love-
ments. The three armies will be un-
der the supreme command of Prince
Boris.
For some time to come the invading
forces of the central powers. it is ex-
pected, will have to fight only the
ear guards, whose duty it is to delay
their progress, for the Serbians will
doubtless do as they have done on pre-
vious Occasions-fall back until they
reach positions in which they will
have the best opportunity Of holding
their ground. In fact, military writ
ers here do not expect a pitched bat
tie on this front for 10 days or a fort
night, by which time the Allies forces
landed at Saloniki should have joined
hands with the Serbians.
Do Not Oppose Allies.
The Bulgarians, SO far as is known,
have not yet made any incursion into
Serbian territory. Some Balkan au-
thorities, indeed, still believe that the
Bulgarians will not interfere with the
movement northward Of the Anglo
French expedition, for to do SO would
Immediately bring the shells Of the
Warshirs into their ports on the Black
and Aegean seas, probably followed by
the landing of Russian troops at Var
ia and Burras and of other Allied
troops at Dedeaghatch.
Greece and Roumania remain inter
ested spectators. Representatives Of
the entente have furnished the Greek
government with information concern
ing the agreement between Bulgaria
and Germany which, it is asserted,
gives Bulgaria a free hand to deal not
only with Serbia. but with Greece as
we'll, should the central powers win.
Little Change In West.
The fighting on the various fronts
brought about little or no change in
the situation. The Germans, after
two days Heavy fighting in which, ac-
cording to the British and French ac-
counts, they suffered a severe reverse,
have abandoned for the moment the
attempt to recapture territory won
from them by the British south OF La
Bassee.
They do claim, however, to have re-
taken from the French some trenches
EAST OF Souchez and at Tahure, in
Champagne.
