"Status Quo"--Conflagration
to Be Avoided.

PARIS. Nov. 1. A policy of territorial
disinterestedness in the Balkans. It
France, Russia and Great Britain have
their way. will replace the now discred
ited shibboleth of "status quo" as a
basis of collective action by the great
powers should the time arrive for
redistribution of sovereignty .n Turkey
through the victory of the allied Bal
kan states over the Turks.
This self-sacrificing ordinance would
apply only to the nations constituting
the concert of Europe, as there no long
er is any suggestion of opposing the
aspirations of the Balkans for national
unity.
Conflagration to Be Avoided.
It Is recognized that the Balkan
states must have their respective slices
of territory, should the Turks finally
acknowledge defeat, but it is feared
thct any attempt by outsiders to put
their bands In the grsyb bag would lead
to the European conflagration.
A full agreement as to the new form
ula which is to cement the accord of
the powers has not been reached.
France. Russia and Great Britain are
ready to subscribe to it, but Germany,
Austria and Italy hesitate.
Anatrla-Senrla Pact Denied.
The alleged understanding between
Austria and Servla on the subject of
the status of Novlpazar and Salonikl,
which it had been hoped here meant
that Austria finally had decided that
Salonikl was not worth a war and
would have cleared the way for the
new programme, was denied tonight by
thn Servian Minister In Paris.'
M. Poincaire. the French Premier,
who is working untiringly for peace,
does not despair of rallying all the
powers under the banner of "disinter
estedness," which he believes Is the
surest means of avoiding a general war.

a cablegram received last night,
and will continue to be in close
touch with the situation until
peace Is concluded.
Mr. Palmer has been a world
wide traveler and an observer and
.writer In many famous conflicts.
As the correspondent of a Lon
don newspaper he reported the

the Klondike and the Philippines

BULGARIAN REAR IX DAXGER
Turkish Forces Reported to Have
Made Important Advance.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 1. (Mid
night.) Whatever the issue of the ter
rible battle now raging on the west
ern slopes of the Istrandia Mountains
in Thrace, it undoubtedly will be reck
oned among the world's greatest strug
gles.
Almost uninterruptedly, for four
days and three nights, the battle has
proceeded, the moon having afforded
sufficient light at night for the armies
to continue their fierce onslaughts.
Turk and Bulgar are locked in a grap
ple which will be broken only by the
decisive defeat of one or the other.
The dearth of news from the front
Wednesday and Thursday had given
rise to a feeling of despondency and
sensational rumors of Turkish reverses
gained currency. Today official re
ports Issued proved these rumors to be
unfounded.
Telegrams from various sources gave
favorable accounts of the military
situation and the troops commanded
by Mahmoud Mukhtar in the vicinity of
Vlsar were especially commended.
The Turkish forces were reported
not merely to have been holding: their
own, but to have effected an Import
ant advance which was threatening tn
Bulgarian rear. If this Turkish col
umn Joins hands with the garrison at
Adrlanople, the Bulgarian army will be
virtually surrounded and Its position
desperate.
It in alleged that, realizing the grav
ity of the situation, the Bulgarian
commanders have withdrawn the army
at Kustenje and their forces before
Adrlanople and that these troops are
being hurried to support the center of
the main Bulgarian army.
Some idea of the desperate nature
of the fighting Is obtained from the
fact that more than 6000 wounded sol
diers arrived tonight In Constantl
nople from the front. Fortunately i
majority of the bullets drilled clean
holes In their victims and the wounds
will heal rapidly.
ALBAXIAX TROOPS IiACKIXG

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 1. Essad
Pasha, commander of the Turkish forces
at Scutari telegraphing under date of

tari, In the vlllayet of Monastir, only
3000 out of the 10,000 Albanians re'
sponded when called to the colors. The
Turkish commander there is asking for
Turkish troops.
The condition of refugees who are
arriving from Kirk-Kllisseh and Adrl
anople Is pitiable. Some 10.000 of them
Including women and children, are
camping In the courtyards of the
mosques and there is danger of an epi

Three Turkish officers committed
suicide at Kirk-Kllisseh when the panic
arising from the defeat of the TurEs

. at-Any-Prlce" Policy.

says Turkey ha not yet eued the Bal
kan states for peace, and says that as

tilities, they are engaged in a war of
liberation and the time has not yet
arrived when they can demand from
Turkey the reply she hitherto arro
gantly has refused to give.
"The blood we have shed and the
dazzling victories we have gained,'
says the Mir, "have conferred on us
rights nobody will think of Infring

CIVIL SERVICE PORTRAYED
New Book, "The American Govern
ment" Tells Interesting Story.
No better Instance of the growth of
the Government of the United States Is
afforded than Is given In a comparison
of the Blue Books of the United States
Government published in 1816 and 1905.
The one published in 1816 is not much
larger than a child's reader, and has
but 176 pages. The one for 1905 is in
two volumes, and has 4219 pages. The
one for 1816 weighed less than a pound,
while the one for 1905 tipped the beam
at more than 25 pounds. The publica
tion of the one for 1816 cost less than
000; the publication for the one of
1905 cost 170.000.
The Blue Book Is a roster of the peo
ple in the employ of Uncle Sam. The
Government clerk is entitled to an an
nual vacation of a full month, he has
frequent holidays,- half holidays every
Saturday during the heated term, and is
entitled to all the sick leave he needs
up to 30 days. He goes to work at 9
o'clock in the morning and quits at 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon, and has a half
hour for lunch. To the young man on
the farm and in the rural town this
seems to be an Ideal career; yet there
are few who taKe It up and remain sat
isfied with their lot.
The story of the civil service as told
In the new book "The American Gov
ernment," by 'Frederic J. Haskin, was
indorsed both before and after publi
cation by President John C. Black, of
the' Civil Service Commission. He re
gards it as a most accurate portrayal
of the civil service. Just now when
the President is ask'ng Congress to
place all postmasters. Internal revenue
collectors. United States Marshals and
others in the classified service, this
chapter alone Is worth to every student
the price of the book as supplied by The
Oregonian. See the coupons on another
page.
Doctor's Anto Is Stolen.

THE white hair and wrinkled faces of our busy men and women tell
of doubt, fear and anxiety more than disease or age. Worry plays
havoc with the nervous system so that digestion is ruined and sleep
banished. What oil is to the friction of the delicate parts of an engine

stimulates the liver to vigorous action, assists the stomach to assimilate food thus
