Devartated District In Michigan Covert 100 Square Mllet. Alpena. Mich. Oct. 10. Out nf the fire-swept district to the north of this city, where flames are spreading un told death and desolation unchecked, come advices which Indicate that the number of dead will exceed 60 and may run up well toward loo. Early Saturday it was known that 22 had been sacrificed to the flames. Later advicct confirmed this report and added 10 more to the list of victims. Today it it certain that the casualties will largely exceed every previous report. In the vicinity of Mctz, Ilolton and Poscn the fires have burned suffi ciently to leave several hundred women and children camping 'with comparative safety in the open fields, out near tins city Saturday night trie fires became so threatening that Mayor McKnight called out a volun teer force of several hundred men with shovels to construct trenches in an effort to stem the progress of the flames toward this city.

Iiut it needs no elaborated details to determine that the property loss will run into the millions. Whole villages have been blotted off the map and logging camps by the dozen have been de stroyed, with their entire teaton's output. TURKEY WANTS WAR. Moblllzei Army In Atla Minor to Fight Bulgaria. Paris, Oct. 10. The optimism pre vailing In official circles up to the present time concerning the ability of the powers to maintain peace in eastern Europe was rudely shattered on receipt nf a telegram from the French ambassador at Constanti nople, M Constans. announcing that Turkey had ordered the mobilization of her troops -in Asia Minor, and it is believed that a few hours will de termine the issue of peace or war. This is regarded as Turkey's an swer to Bulgaria's refusal to accord compensation for her independence and to the powers which arranged the program in London for the interna tional conference. Instructions have been hurriedly forwarded to the French representa tives at Constantinople and Sofia to renew their counsels of peace and the other powers have sent similar in structions to their representatives in these cities, urging moderation on the part of Bulgaria and Turkey. The fear among diplomats, how ever, is that intervention may come too late and that the Bulgarians, in their present state of excitement, may accept Turkey's act at one of provo cation and advance across the fron tier, when a collision between a the armies would be inevitable and irre parable.
