Now his opal is Ashton's most
treasured piece of jewelry, and
when anyone says anything about
an opal's bringing bad luck to the

EUROPEAN 'WAR NEAR.
Constantinople, Aug. 24. Eu
rope may be plunged in the blood
iest war of its history at any time.
The birds of prey are hovering
over stricken Turkey, waiting to
see what they can grab.
Austria has invaded Noviba
zar. King Nicholas of Montene
gro has mobilized his, army and
intends to grab Northern Al
bania. Czar Ferdinand of Bul
garia is -gathering his army to
gether to grab Macedonia
. And Turkey will fight, and
fight hard before the Ottoman
Empire ever will be djvided up
among the birds of prey, s -
The Young Turks and the
Government party will forget
their differences. The cry of Ma
homet will echo through the em
pire and blood will flow in rivers.
It will not be like the war
against Italy. There the cam
paign was mostly naval and thef
Turks had no fleet.
This will be on land and Tur-t
key has soldiers. Furthermore,
she has soldiers that are amongt
the best in the world, as Russia)
can sorrowfully testify.
Patriotism is already arousedJ
The army is being mobilized. Re-
cruiting is going on daily. Rival
political parties are burying the!
hatchet. Turkey will ,not be dis-
membered without a fight that:
long will be remembered in the
history of Europe.
