FERDINAND ISSUES APPEAL Greece and 'Servia Pushing Toward Sofia, While Throwing Obstacles In AVay of Armistice Ron mania Sends Warning. LONDON". July 24. Without declar ing war and apparently trusting that the Jealousies of the powers will pre vent any European interference, Tur key has begun an invasion of Bulgaria. The Turks have occupied and burned the villages on the Jamboll road and are reported to have pushed their reconnaissances as far as Fhllipoppolls, No information has been received as to the strength of the forces which have crossed the frontier. Probably they are comparatively small bodies of Knver Bey's cavalry. Some skirmishing- has occurred on the frontier but the Bulgarians have offered no seri ous resistance. Invader Take Tbree Routes. In Vienna It i3 reported the Turks have crossed the Bulgarian frontier in three places, roughly coinciding with the routes followed by the Bulgarians southward last October, namely by the Maritza and Tundja Valleys, as well as in the direction of Jamboll. King Ferdinand, of "Bulgaria, today summoned the representatives of the powers to the palace at Sofia and ad dressed them as follows: "I am anxious to protest before Europe against the outrageous action of the Turkish army, which not con tent with violating the treaty of Lon don, is engaged in invading the old ter ritory of my kingdom in the direction of Tirnova.

BELL FAMILY AT ORPHEIIM. ' Frofn every view point the Bell family at the Orpheum is a novelty. To begin with, the nine members of the family are genuine brothers and sisters. While families of this size are not uncommon, it is de cidedly unusual that each one should develop an artistic tendency, and, without exception, become a talented musician.

They do not confine their music to instrumental pieces, but introduce sev eral native songs and occasionally a native dance, which is not only different, but more than usually picturesque and Interesting.

V : ARMY TRIAL GOES Of Investigation at Fort Stevens Gets Under Way. NEW CHARGES ARE TALKED Private Coffman Is "Represented- by Counsel and Objection Made to Two Members of Court Is Sus tained Witness Arrives. FORT STEVENS, Or., July 24. (Spe cial.) The Coffman trial started again yesterday afternoon, with Captain Ed wards and Attorney Strieff, of Port land, appearing for the defense. At torney Strieff has been hired by the Astoria Socialists to appear on behalf of Private Coffman. Several new spec lff STB iflcatlons have been added, it is un derstood, to the charges. Private Lowe, the San Francisco wit ness, has arrived in Fort Stevens. It is said he denies knowledge of the specific charge that he was brought here to prove; in fact, he does not ad mit that Coffman i made any of the remarks attributed to him in the charges as set forth. rHis story con tradicts that of some of the leading witnesses. It is thought that this pe culiar contretemps is the occasion of the new charges against the prisoner. Coffman objected to two members of the court and they have been dismissed. Military courts allow this privilege to prisoners appearing before them to the extent of dismissing all who can be shnwn tr Hi r, o J i j against the man they are about to try Another witnc Prit. T.itni.u reiused to testify against Coffman on the ground that he did not hear the remarks alleged to have been made on the Government boat by Waldo H. Coff man when he had an argument with Private Lowe. However, it is under stood that both- witnesses will be placed on the stand before the trial concluded. If it can be proved that their evidence has been influenced bv outside sources so as to Induce them to testify falsely it is probable that they will also be brought before a gen eral court. It Is reported that' some of the new specifications against Coffman were ob tained through the statements alleged to have been made to a representative or the Appeal to Reason." One of these is to the effect that Coffman maintained mat no man could serve three years in the United States Army and be discharged an honorable man It is said that as soon as the com manding officer. Colonel Straub, read mis statement coming from a publica tion that had supported Coffman con slstently he proceeded to investigate and discovered that Coffman was not only responsible for similar comments, but that he had also made statements to the effect that anarchy Is the ideal form of Government. It is a curious fact that Coffman's conception of anarchy, according to those who have overheard him is some what different from the average view held. He regards anarchy as an ideal condition under which neither force nor government is desired, since the people would be sufficiently developed to require neither. As to how Coff man reconciles his Socialistic propa ganda, which Involves absolute govern mental control, with this viewpoint, which eliminates all control, is an issue.

WEST WILL BE UNIT Interior Department Thought Place for Forest Service. OPPOSITION IS IN EAST Conscrvationists of Pinchot Model Leaders Against Effort to Fa cilitate Administration of Public Land Affairs. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 22. Western Senators and Representatives will be a unit in supporting the bill recently introduced by Representative Johnson, of Wash Ington, authorizing the transfer of the Forest Service from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of the Interior. It is also to be expected that Eastern conservationists will array themselves against the bill, for the same reason that it will be opposed by Glf ford Pinchot. Whsrt Representative Johnson pro poses has often been suggested in the past. It is in the interest of good ad ministration. The Forest Service, deal ing with public lands exclusively, be longs in the Department of the Interior, which is maintained primarily to have control of the public domain. The Na tional forests are today the most valu able part of the remaining public do main. Two Departments Conflict. Under the present "system, two de partments of the Government are doing a given piece of work. The administra tion of forest reserves is in the hands of the Secretary of Agriculture, and yet all questions of title, surveys, etc. In the same reserves, come under the di rection of the Secretary of the Interior. There are two departments doing work that should be centered in one, and it is manifest that the Secretary of Agri culture should not have Jurisdiction unless he also takes over the General Land Office and the entire public land service. This is not practicable and the only way to avoid the duplication of work, and the duplication of author ity, is to transfer the Forest Service to the Interior Department. Originally, the' Interior Department had full control over the forest reserva tions through a forestry division in the General Land Office. The Forest Serv ice of today was then a mere bureau in the Denartment of Agriculture, created to study forestry problems, such a.A silviculture, reforestation, economical forestry methods and the testing of various woods. Pinchot' Influence Strong;. When Glfford Pinchot became for ester and Theodore Roosevelt became President, Pinchot went to Roosevelt and told him he wanted to enlarge his bureau and take over the management and control of all forest reserves, and his wish was granted. From that day to this the Department of Agriculture has had the management of forest re serves. . Whenever it wasproposed to trans fer the Forest Service to the Interior Department, Mr. Pinchot went to see the President and norhlng was done. In the Department of Agriculture, while Mr. Wilson was Secretary, Pinchot had his own way. Had he been transferred to the Interior Department, he would have been required to ac knowledge the superiority of the Sec retary of the Interior, and this he did not want to do. Notwithstanding he is today a pri vate citizen, Glfford Pinchot has a great deal to say about 'the conduct of the Forest Service, and is a frequent caller on Mr. Graves, his successor. The word of Mr. Pinchot is still powerful in the office over which he long pre sided. Naturally, he will oppose the Johnson bill, for he does not want the Forest Service transferred to a Juris diction that will shut him off. MILLER AWAITING.
