Unitarian line extended roughly from
JlKlla, on the Dlack Sea coast, to Ho

steadily advunclng.
Turks Are Concentrating.
Of the developments yesterday and
the situation today there wcro few de
tails. That tho Turks wero concentrat
ing, however, behind the chain of forts
which connects Kar Uorun and Slllvrl
was certain. The Bulgarians continued
their advance. The crwas lighting yes

hetwicn the Bulgarian line of Thursday
night and tho Turkish frontier ot today.
Tho Bulgarians, It was known, wore
perioral ly successful.
At latest accounts lighting was In
progress completely across the Con
stantinople peninsula and within thirty
nlles of tho capital Itself. Thq con
sensus of opinion was that It wan the
Turks' last stand.
The manner In which the troops have
found, nLcordlng to men who wltnciHcd
parts of the battle, wan like nothing
si en hitherto In the history of modern
warfuic.
ATIICNS. Nov. 2. Fighting between
Turks and Oreeks was In progress at
Litest accounts llftccn miles from Sa
lonika, and twice that distance from
Monastlr. It was stated here that both
towns will speedily bo taken by the
Greeks.
BEIILIN, Nov. J. Anarchy prevails
throughout Turkey, according to dis
patches to the Balkans today.
Thu defeat of the Ottomans was a
rout. The Turks were making their
last stand between twenty-flvo and
thirty miles west of Constantinople at
latest accounts. The Bulgarians wcie
almost In thu suburbs. The only un
certainty was whether they will enter
the Sultan's capital Before tho poweis
agree, on an Intervention program.
Order exlBts only where the Invaders
of the Sultan's domain have established
It. Thev have not been long inough
established In the territories they have
seized to have accomplished much as
yet. Tho Turks, beaten everywhere,
have lost all control.
Turks Fought Unprepared.
The disgraceful character of the de-
feuts the Sultan's troops have sustained
were Just beginning to bu learned fully
today. They were not the soldiers' fault,
but that of the government which suit

When Gen. Nazlm Pasha saw tho tide
of the contllut turning against him ut

again and again foi rclnforaements.
Bcvernl truln loads of men were rushed
forward from C'horluv but many of
them were unarmed. Others were
wltounded who hud previously oeen

Tho Turkish army vvns transformed
quickly Into u howling, murderous mob,

PLEDGE TO BEHAVE
Traglcaly hale and hearty enough to
have outlived all her "kith and kin"
and ho left alone In the world at her
tlghty-sevcnth milestone, Mrs. Eliza
beth Fulton, for moro than sovcnty-flvo
years a resident of the District, who
"remembers tho Capitol when. It was a
wee tmall house," was sent to tho
Home for tho Aged In tho District Po
lice, Court today.
With tears thu old woman begged to
bo allowed to stay in tho city. "Where 1
know everjbody," she pleaded. "I
would rather die than be In Jail." Bho
was told that she would not have to
go to Jail, but to Blue Plains, and
that she would Ilka It at tho District
poor house located nt that place.
"When 1 flrst came to WuslilnKton 1
was about twelve years old and tho
Capitol was a wee, small house with u
stone jard all around It." suld tho aged
woman as shu took her placo In tho
court dock with tho rest of the prison
ers.
"Why. Washington was a regular old
mud hole when I came here. 1 have
watched It crow and hats to leave, it
as It Is now but thoy tell me I will be
able to wnlk up from the home at ;lmcs
and bo the things that have such a
treasured association with msetf and

"Just nbout seventy years ago I re.

Capitol stens now are. those fnclnir the
Treasury with my fiance, afterwards
my husband, lie died about twenty
j ears ago. During the civil war wo
made lots of money In Woshlntgon, but
gradually lost It."
Mrs. Fulton has no home or means of
support, the police authorities say, and
for days has wandered aimlessly about
the city. The old woman has been tho
object of charity of residents and often
was wltout food and shelter. Judgo
Pugh placed her on probation with the
promise that she will stay at the poor
house. He warned the aged defendant
that he would have to send hor to the
workhouse for a year If she "did not be
good."
"I'll be good your honor. I've never
violated the law In mv seventy-flve
years In the city," said the old woman.
"I'll go to the poorhouse and stay
there."
Over 600 Clerks Get
Leave to Go Vote
Up to the close of business In the I
Executive departments of the Govern-
ment at 4:30 o'clock jestcrday, a few
more than 600 voters had obtained cer
tificates from department and bureau I
chief clerks, for transportation to their J
homes to vote. This represents but a
small portion of tho Government clerks
who are going to vote, as with few
exceptions It contains only those who
live nt a considerable distance.
These voters added to the 7 ono or
more residents cared for at political j
headquarters, will run the total, of D'h-
trlct residents voting, to near tho 8,000

Those in the nearby States will no ;
apply for certificates or leave until ,
Mondiy, and an accurato list of voters
from the departments can not be mode
until that day.
There aro hundreds of Government
clerks living In the nearby States, as
well as mnny hundreds more In the
nearby suburbs, who have a new vot
ing residence. It Is not necessary for
them to get certificates, as thev are
within the 160-mlles limit. Some of the
voters In nearby Maryland and Vir
ginia towns will not even have to get
a day oft to vote, unless thev wish a

If your household belongings should burn, you cannot collect
a dollar from an insurance company unless you are able to accu
rately describe the property that has been burned or damaged.
You cannot give this necessary description unless you have an
accurate tabulated list of your belongings and their valuation. If
you wait until the fire occurs it will be too late to make that list
except from memory. You have got to do it before the fire;
therefore, you should secure a complimentary copy of our House
hold Inventory Book and set down in it all the things of value
which you possess.
The book is 5l2 by 8J4 inches in size, contains 36 pages, and
every article of furniture is listed, room by room. AU you have
to do is to place a valuation after each article. There are also
pages devoted to the listing of books, bric-a-brac, china, glassware,
silverware, clothing, linen, pictures and jewelry, and a recapitu
lation showing the value of the articles contained in each room.
YOU NEED THIS BOOK. We will send you a copy by
mail, free, if you will answer this advertisement. In doing so you
will incur no obligation. We are the largest fire insurance com
pany in the District of Columbia, and want every householder and
property owner in the city of Washington to have a complimentary
