HE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE VOLUME 10. NUMBER 1 ALL EUROPE FEARS A GENERAL WAR Reports State That Germany, Aus- iria and Italy Will Ally Against Russia and the Balkans. ENGLAND FAVORS FEDERATION Wishes to See Near Eastern Combin- ation Into One Strong Power to Checy Slavic Expansion. TROOPS ARE BEING MOBILIZED Terms to Turkey Have Been Modified But General Preparations Con- tinue to Go Forward. By United Press. Semlin, Hungary, Nov. 26.—That Russia had suggested joining the Balkan alliance as soon as peace had been arranged permanently rumored here today. i1t was the general opinion that England would favor some sort «f federation of all the Balkan states, as likely to consolidate ultimately inte one strong power which would check both German and Slavie ex- pansion further into the Near East. Premier Gueschoff called a moet- ing of the Bulgarian cabinet, it was stated in a Sofia message, to consider Turkey’'s permanent peace proposals. was Berlin, Nov. 26. — Relations be- tween Austria-Hungary and Servia are now so strained that political circles in Vienna have abandoned hope of the preservation of peace, according to the Neue Gesellschaft- liche Correspondenz, which says it has its information from a diplo- matic source. Despite Austrian denials of the re- ported mobilization of the Austro- Hungarian army, the Correspondenz declares that five army corps have been already mobilized and the re- serves continue to be called up in largze numbers. The Austro-Hungarian government it continues, is resolved not to await! the return of the Servian troops op- | erating against the Turks and an ultimatum to Servia may be expect-| ed within a few days. The situation has become more] acute through the changed attitude of Russia. Sergius Sazonoff, the Russian foreign minister, after hav- ing declared suitable as a basis for further negotiations, the Austrian proposal guaranteeing Servia a free: port on the Adriatic sea and a Serv- ian railway through Albania but without territorial rights, has now abandoned this standpoint. Austria is now disposed to push the matter to a decision because if was is inevitable she wants to take advantage of her mobilization being more advanced than that of Russia. Vienna, Nov. 26. — The result of the visit to Berlin of Archduke Fran- cis Ferdinand, the Austrian heir to the throne, is that in eastern affairs, notably in those questions relating to Roumania and to Adriatic sea, Germany, Italy and Austria wili march together, according to the Reichspost. Preparations for eiery eventuality have been fully made so that all surprises are guarded against. H London, Nov. 26.—Plenipotentiar- ies representing the allied Balkan na- tions and the Turkish government met today.and discussed terms for an armistice. Nothing was announc- ed concerning the nature of the de- liberations beyond the fact that the allies were prepared to modify the terms which Turkey last week refus- ed to consider. While the principals are thus en- gaged in efforts to arrange a truce between the opposing armies prepapr- atory to a definite peace, prepara- tions elsewhere for possible trouble on a larger scale show no signs of abatement. ‘While the intentions of the great (Continued on Iast page). e istorial Society, Liu H 81.

Pipestone, Minn., Nov. 26—George Vancura, the Lakefield farmer who grew 109 bushels of. excellent corn on an acre, has given out a statement showing how he prepared the land and cultivated the corn. In 1911 he selected a plot of ground that had been in clover eight years. It was plowed about six inches deep and nothing further was done with the land until the spring of 1912. As soon as the ground had thawed sev- eral loads of manure were hauled on and the land was disced several times. On May 10 Vancura planted his seed corn. known as Minnesota No. 13. The corn was checked three in a hill, 36 inches by 42 inches apart. The acre was harrowed twice before the corn appeared above the ground. By close watching cut worms and ground squirrels were kept from the corn. ae first cultivation was on June 10, and the field was then covered with fertilizer. The corn was cross culti- vated on June 21, and again covered with fertilizer. The next cultivation was on July 3 and the last on July 10. After the last cultivation noth- ing was done to the corn until Oct. {19, when it was surveyed and husk- ed and weighed up by a committee of jcitizens and found to yield 109 bush- els to the acre.
