by tho rouKhest trucks and quite un

rilla character.
I'mler Biich condition of surface re
lief tho relation of the river valleys to I
tho mountain barriers becomes exceed
ingly Important, especially in the case
of tho Marltza and the Vardnr. That
of tho Marltza Is tho only route for an
nnny between the Thriico-Macedonlau
highlands and tho Istranja dii(.'h. The
former system Is practically uncrossa
hie, there not beliiK a continuous track
even up tho Arda valley, and tho rec-'
taiiKUlar area between Adrlanople and
(lie lllaelt sea, tho Krxene valley and
the frontier east of tho Tunja, Is so
dllllcult that thero Is not a single trunk
road through It In any direction, ill
tlioiiKh at least half n dozen brunch
lines meet at tho Important town of
Kirk Klllsu (the town of forty church
es), recently taken by Itulniirliiiis.
Tho Vardar plays n similar part be
tween the Thrnco Macedonian bli,'h
lands and the Albanian systems, ill
tlioiiKh It has not a monopoly of the
area.
Tim parallel Struma valley works
around tho obslacle through it pass
near .lama, which Is not more time
l.oiio feel above the sea, and a trunk
line runs nloin,' the eastern bank of
the river for some distance south of
tho frontier, lending on north of It,
also by trunk line, to Imbidkn, hut the
torrential (diameter of tho river Is so
marked, In spile of Us length of --"i

tho old Koiiinn military road around
tho north ends of the Ostrovn, l'resbn

route and the Prln valley are tho keys
to northern Albania. Just as tho Vlosa

W'atikegan, 111., Nov. 12.". More than
2n persons are believed to have met
death this afternoon In an explosion
which wrecked the dry starch plant of
the Corn I'roductB ltetlnlng company.
One body burned was taken from the
ruins shortly before 'i o'clock. About
persons, all seriously Injured, were
taken to a hospital.
The starch building was about 2)0
feet from thn main building, a panic
ensiling among tho employes In the
main structure.
The estimate of the dead was deter
mined hy tho number of employes In
the dry starch department unaccount

at least 24 perished. A lire followed
the explosion and this hampered the
search for tho bodies.
I'p to a late hour this afternoon
fourteen bodies had been recovered
from thn ruins, but It Is Impossible to
