T ax Law T est set for O ctober 14. N um ber S15 Skillfully and quietly Turkey is preparing for active warfare with Bulgaria. From authentic reports it is evident that the sultan intends a swift blow at the oppoeers to his rule. At Salonika, or rather in the Vilayet of Salonika, are 170,000 troops which have been mobilized as a base or reserve. In Mnnaitir there are 50,000 soldiers ready to fight under the crescent. In tbe Vilayst of Adrianople 75,000 troops are stationed, among which are large sorces of field artillery. The Vilayet of Kossove is overrun with fully 10,000 Turkish tro«ps. It is stated here that none o f th e s e foross are well disciplined, but will fight to the death that they may become victors, in order to pillage the fallen towns and cities of the enemy. The Turkish'qqldler is poorly paid, if at all. It is said that there are several regiments in which the paymaster has not called for months, consequently the des perate state of feeling which bolds the minds of the rank and file.
