TURKS STOP ENEMY Onslaughts Are Repulsed and 8000 Prisoners Captured. Turk Warships Send Heaviest Broad sides—Troops Defend Capital With Desperate Valor, Constantinople — The great battle between the Bulgarians and Turks is on all along the line o f the Tchatalja fortifications. Unofficial reports say the Turks have gained a great success. The battle opened at 5 o’clock in the morn ing. The Turks succeeded after some hours o f fighting in defeating the right Bulgarian wing and in repulsing the le ft wing. They caputred 12 guns and 8000 prisoners. The Turkish warships contributed largely to this success. The foreign minister confirms the news o f the victory without specify ing the exact number of prisoners. The Bulgarians unmasked their ar tillery positions at daybreak and open ed a heavy fire along the front from the Hamidieh forts at Papas Burgas. This was the first real endeavor they had made agaist the Turkish lines. The opening o f the battle was a wonderful spectacle. The black face o f the Bulgarian position sparkled with flashes of the guns. Some o f the Turkish heavy guns fired black pow der. The bursting o f heavy shells Boon raised a curtain of heavy smoke which, mingling with the morning mist, rolled majestically down the val ley between the combatants. A Turkish warship in the bay joined the concert, firing its heaviest guns in broadside, capping the Bulgarian right with a great pillar of smoke and fire. It was certainly the heaviest artil lery combat seen since the Japanese massed corps o f artillery pounded Grekoff’s devoted rear guard outside of Liaoyang. During the night the Bulgarian in fantry had passed down under cover o f the banks of the Karasu, and were trying to take possession of the upper loop o f the railway. Small groups of Bulgarians rose out of the shelving banks and advanced cautiously and slowly. The Turkish gunners found them Suffragettes End Tramp. London — The suffragette army which started from Edinburgh com pleted its 400-mile tramp to London, in exactly five weeks. Under the leadership of Mrs. De Pont Blanque, who traveled on horseback, they went immediately to the Prime minister’s residence in Downing street and pre sented their petition demanding the suffrage for women. Premier Asquith, profiting from his experience of pre vious meetings, had retired to the country for the week-end. His secre tary, however, accepted the document. ami nicely and the attempt failed. The whirr o f machine guns and the crash o f infantry magazine fire in the direction o f the Hamidieh forts told that another infantry effort was being made there, but the fire died down and as there was no movement on the part of the Turkish reserves it was pre sumed that this attempt had failed. This was 10 o’clock in the morning. The firmament was still ringing with the crack o f shrapnel and the dull re verberations of heavy ordnance. Nazim Pasha, the Turkish com- mander-in-cbief, sent the following dispatch at night: “ The battle which commenced this morning with an attack o f Bulgarian infantry lasted until one hour after sunset. The enemy, who advanced chiefly facing our right wing and our center, was repulsed by our infantry j and artillery fire. Three Bulgarian batteries were destroyed.’ ’ Test Canal Next Summer. Washington, D. C.— Sometime next summer or fall, no exact date being specified, a vessel will pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific across what is now the Isthmus o f Panama, which consequenty must disappear from the world’s geography, and by the same human agency the Western hemi sphere will be divided into two conti nents. The vessel will not be the Oregon, or any other famous Bhip, but will be one of the many small water craft in daily use by the canal build ers, and probably the only passengers will be Col. George Goethals and the staff o f American engineers who for the past eight years have been carry ing on the greatest engineering work the werld has ever seen. Edison Extends Plans. West Orange, N. J.— As his sixty- sixth birthday approaches, Thomas A. Edison is credited with planning to become president of the Thomas A. Edison company, incorporated, and other companies to be embraced under that title. The resignation of Frank L. Dyer, now at the head o f the allied corporations based on Edison's inven tions, has been received. He intends to become president o f the Motion Patent Picture company, o f New York. Mr. Edison himself declined to discuss the situation. Says Bridge Threatens Race. Pittsburg, Pa.— “ Women must give up either bridge or babies; the two are incompatible,’ ’ declared John Drew, who is appearing here this week. “ A woman can not devote herself to bridge playing and at the same time perform her maternal duties,” said Drew. “ Bridge certain ly is the cause o f race suicide. It has become so serious that it can't be ig nored any longer. In England the bridge craze has become so violent, they tell me, that it is hurting the business o f the theaters.” Alaska Holds Wet Record.

For the first time In her life Emily Ffrench laughed out In a genuine, mischievous sense ot adven ture. "Yes? 1 wonder you could separate yourself from that Rupert to come here; he was a most bewildering per son,” she retorted. “ Separate from Rupert? Why, I would not think of racing a taxicab, aa he would say, without Rupert be side me. He Is here taking a post graduate course In this type of car, In order to be up to bis work when we go down to Georgia next week.” “ Next week? You expect to win that race?" "No. We are running a stock car against some heavy foreign racing machines; the chance of winning Is slight. But I hope to outrun any oth er American car on the course, If nothing goes wrong." She looked up. "And If something does?” she won dered. He shrugged his shoulders. "Pray be careful of those moving belts behind you. Miss Ffrench. If something doe“ -there Is a chance In every game worth playing.” "A chance!" her feminine nerves recoiled from the lmpllod conse quences. “ But only a chance, surely You were never In an accident, never were hurt?” Lestrange regarded her In surprlae mingled with a dawning raillery lnfl nltely Indulgent. “ I had no accidents last season.” he guardedly responded. “ I ’ve been quite lucky. At least Rupert and I play our game unhampered; there will be no broken hearts If we are picked up from under our car some day." They had reached the door while he spoke; as he put his hand on the knob to open It, Emily saw a long zigzag scar running up the extended arm from wrist to elbow, a mute calm of the gray eyes she encountered established self-content. When they were trotting down the road toward home. In the crisp air, Emily glanced at her cousin. “ I did not know you and Mr. Le atrange were so well acquainted." (he remarked "I see him now and then,” Dick an swered uneasily. “ He's too busy to want me bothering around blm much You—remembered him?” "Yes." He absently took the whip from Its socket, flecking tbe horse with It as ho spoke. “ It was awfully square of you. Emily, not to mention that night to Uncle Ethan. It wasn't like a girl, at all. I made an Idiot of myself, and you’ve never said anything to me about It since. I never told you where lestrange took me. because I didn't like to talk of the thing. I'm really awfully fond of you, cousin.” "Yes, Dickie,” she said patiently. "W ell, Lestrange rubbed It In. Ob, he didn't say much. But he carried me down to where they were practic ing for a road race. Such a Jolly lot of follows, like a bunch of kids; teas ing and calling Jokes back and forth at one another halt the night until daybreak, everything raw and chilly Busy, and their mechanics busy, and one after another swinging Into his car and going off like a rocket. By tbe time Lestrange went off. I was a» much stirred up as anybody. When he made a record circuit at seventy seven miles an hour average, I was shouting over the rail like a good one And then, while he was off again, a big blue car rolled In and Its driver yelled that Lestrange had gone over on the Eastbury turn, and to send around the ambulance. It was like a nightmare; I sat down on a stone and felt sick.” "He-—” "H e shook me up half an hour later, and stood laughing at me. ‘ Upset?’ he said. ’No; we shed a tiro and went off Into a field, but It didn't hurt the machine, so we righted her and came In.’ He was limping and bruised and scratched, but he was laughing, while a crowd of people were trying to shake hands with him and say things. I felt—funny; as If I wasn't much good I never felt like that before. ‘This Is only practice,' he said, when I was about to go. 'The race tomorrow will do better. We find It more exciting than cocktails.' That was all, but 1 knew what he meant, all right. I've been careful ever since. He won the race next day, too." “ Dick, didn't It ever occur to you that you as well as Mr. Lestrange None of the group in the next room had noticed the movement of the shade, absorbed In one another: any sound being muffled by the throb of adjacent machinery. Bailey obeyed the request, and leaned back In his chair. “ That’s Darling Lestrange," he stated with satisfaction. "That's his own design for an oiling system he’s busy with, and It’s a beauty. He’s entered for every big race coming this season, starting next week In Geor gia, and meantime he oversees every department In every building as It never was done before. The man for me, he la.” Emily made an unenthuslastlc sign of agreement. "1 meant a very different man from Mr. Lestrange," she replied, her dig nity altogether Ffrench. ” 1 have no doubt that he le all you say, but I was thinking of another class. I meant—well, I meant a gentleman.” ‘Oh, you meant a gentleman.” re plied Bailey, surveying her oddly. "I didn’t know, you see. No; I don’t know any one like that." “ Thank you. Then I will go. I— It does not matter.” She did not go, however, but re mained leaning on the arm of her chair In troubled reverie, her long lashee lowered. Bailey sat as quietly, watching her and waiting. The murmur of voices came dully through the closed door, one, lighter and clearer In tone, most frequently rising above the roar pervading the whole building. It was not possible that Emily's glimpse of Lestrange across the glass should Identify him absolutely with the man she had seen once In the flickering lights and shad ows on the Long Island road; but he was not of a type easily forgotten, and she had been awakened to a doubting recognition. Now, many little circumstances re curred to her; a strangeness In Dick’s manner when the new manager was alluded to, the fact that her rescuer on that October night had been driv ing a racing car and had worn a rao- Ing costume; and lastly, when Bailey spoke of “ Darling" Lestrange there had flashed across her mind the mech anician's ridiculous answer to the re quest to aid her chauffeur In changing a tire: " I ’ll do It for you. Darling." And listening to that dominant voice In the next room, she slowly grew crimson before a vision of herself In the middle of a country road, appeal ing to a stranger for Buccor, like the heroine of a melodramatic Action. De cidedly she would never see Le strange, never let him discover Miss Ffrench. "I will go," she reiterated, rising Im petuously. The glass-set door opened with un warning abruptness. “ I ’ll see Mr. Bailey,” declared some one. "H e ’ll know.” Helpless. Emily stood still, and straightway found herself looking di rectly Into Lestrange'B gray eyes as he halted on the threshold. It was Bailey who upheld the mo ment. all unconsciously.
