GERMANY IS FOR PEACE Proposes European Conference, at) Which Balkan States Will Be Rep- | Fesented, as Soon as the Campaign In the Field Is Concluded. London, Nov. ¥3.—The deadlock | continues in the international polit- | ical situation brought about by the Balkan war. Neither Austria-Hungary nor Servia has given way on a single essential point in regard to the future of Albania and the proposed occupa- tion by the Servians of a portion of the Adriatic sea. Despite this, and the further fact that the Russian press is daily inten- sifying the warlike tone of its support of the Servian cause, some of the Eu- Tropean chancelieries take a more op- timistic view of the condition of af- fairs, assuming that the recent con- ference between the Austrian and Ser- vian statesmen at Budapest has tended to relieve the crisis. So far as is known, however, Dr. S. Daneff, the president of the Bulgarian chamber of deputies, simply informed Emperor Francis Joseph and his min- isters of the position of the Balkan nations in the matter and in return had explained to him for the benefit of Servia and Bulgaria the policy of Austria-Hungary. | European Conference Proposed. The great powers not directly inter- ested in the outcome, but more par- ticularly Germany, are making strong efforts to reconcile the two antagon- ists, and it is believed that Germany kas at least induced Austria-Hungary not to press her objections to Servia's aims until the end of the campaign. Germany has pointed out that the whole question of the Balkans can | then be settled by a European con- | ference in which the Balkan nations will have a voice. When Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian throne, meets the German emperor shortly the plans for this conference will be drawn up | in outline. This view coincides with that of Great Britain, as Premier Asquith ex- | plained in his speech on Saturday. | The authorities at Vienna take Pains to point out that the military conferences being held at Budapest are not incongruous with Austria’s de- sire for peace. They explain that plans and precautionary measures have been considered, but say they will not be carried out unless Servia should violate Austria’s interests. Plan Naval Demonstration. There has been some talk of a naval demonstration on the Adriatie coast when the Servians reach there, but the carrying out of this depends on the course of events. In the meantime it is said that the European powers, at the request of Turkey, are about to sound the Bal- kan allies with the object of arrang- ing an armistice. Bulgaria is not likely to accede to an armistice until the conclusion of the batile along the lines of Tchataija, in front of Constantinople, which now is being fought. Around Adrianople the Bulgarians are going through some of the hardest fighting of the campaign. Dispatches from the Bulgarian side state that the in the taking of the two Turkish forts on Kartaltpe and Papaztepe, outside | of the fortress of Adrianople. When- | ever they wavered their officers and | priests exhorted them to go forward at any cost. The fort at Papaztepe was taken only after heavy reserves had been brought up, so stubborn was the Turkish stand. THOUSANDS REPORTED DYING Cholera, Smalipox and Typhus Raging in Constantinople. Constantista, Roumania, Nov. 13.— Unless the struggle about Constanti- nople is brought to a speedy termina- tion there will be such an epidemic there as modern times never have seen, according to messages from the stricken city. Not only has it been established definitely that the disease which re- cently broke out among the Turkish soldiers is Asiatic cholera, but small- pox has made its appearance. Typhus has been raging for some time. The epidemics are all reported as spread- ing rapidly. < Cholera has also broken out among the Bulgarians at Tchatalja. Conditions inside the Turkish capi- tal and in the suburbs just outside the city walls were described in the latest dispatches as almost unbelievable. People were dying by thousands, it tination is Constantinople, was said, of disease, wounds received in battle and sheer starvation. The Turkish capital, always unsan- ftary, has been totally uncared for since the war broke out. a ASSASSIN SLAYS JOSE CANALEJAS Spanish Premier the Victin of an Anarchist, TWO BULLETS IN HEAD Alm of Murderer Is Accurate anc Statesman’s Death Is instantaneous Assailant Is Arrested, but Late: Ends His Own Life. Madrid, Nov. 13.—The Spanish pre mier, Jose Carnalejas y Mendes, wat shot dead while entering the ministry of the interior here to attend a cab imet meeting. His assailant, Manu el Pardenas Serrato Martin, agec twenty-eight, of El Grado, province of Huesca, was arrested and ther committed suicide. The shooting occurred in front o) the office of the ministry of the in| terior, fronting on the Puerto del Sol or Gate of the Sun, a big square ir the center of Madrid, the busiest spoi in the city. Stepving up behind and slightly tc the right of his victim the assassin pointed a pistol point blank at the Premier's head and discharged it twice in rapid succession.

An Atchison young lady had been fll for some time and finally became much depressed. She told a married sister, who was a: ting in caring for her, that she knew she was going to die, and that she might as well distrib- ute her possessions. “I'll give you my coral beads,” she said to the married sister, “but Mary is to have my dia- mond ring because you have kad sev- eral diamonds given to you by your busband.” The sick girl expected the married sis- ter to fall on her neck and weep. not jonly-at the sadness of her impending and untimely death, but because of ber generosity in the matter of her corals. So it was no wonder that every nerve in the invalid’s body was jarred by the married sister's answer: “Well, of all the nerve! Giving me your little string of cheap corals! Why, they cost only $20, while your diamond ring is worth every bit of $2: It makes me tired,” the married sister continued in excited tones, “the way you indulge Mary. | Why, she’s at a party this very min- ute, and I’m slaving here with you. As for my diamonds, didn’t I help my husband scrimp and save?” But right here the sick young wo- man, buoyed up by righteous indigna- tion, her blood pumping through her veins with anger, sat up, put her feet firmly on the fioor, got up and dressed. “You can take the next train for home,” she said to the astonished mar- ried sister. “I'll just wear my dia- mond ring and corals myself a little while longer.” This is a true story, and, although the incident occurred six |months ago, the Atchison young lady |hasn’t been sick a minute since.— Atchison Globe.

Compared with Maura, Canalejas was regarded as a man of very ad- vanced views.

The Mi: ppi river, lying wholly within the temperate zone, is im this fespect more fortunately situated than the more fertile valleyed Amazon, since the climate here, varied and sometimes inhospitable as it is, offers conditions ef human development there denied. The mein stream is 2,500 miles in length—that is. about ten times that of the Seine. As Mark Twain has said, it is “the crookedest river” in the world, traveling 1,300 miles to cover the same ground that a crow would fiy over in 675. For several hundred miles it is a mile in width. Back in 1882 it was seventy miles wide when the flood was highest. The volume of water discharged by it into the sea is second only to the Amazon and is greater than that of all European rivers combined (omitting the Volga). The amount is estimated at 139 cubic miles annually—that is, } would fill annually a tank 139 miles long, 139 miles wide and 139 miles high. With its tributaries it provides somewhat more than 16,000 miles of nayigable water, more than any other system on the globe except the Ama- zon and more than enough to reach from Lake Superior to Paris by way of Kamchatka and Alaska, about three-fourths of the way around the globe. The sediment deposited is 400,- 000,000 tons, enough to require daily for its removal 500 trains of fifty cars, each carrying fifty tons, and to make each year two square miles of new earth over a hundred feet deep. The area which it drains is roughly 1,250,000 square miles, or two-fifths of the United States. That is, Germany, Austria-Hungary, France and Italy could be set down within this area and there would still be some room to spare. It has the strength, for the most part put to no use whatever, of 60,000,000 horses.
