Vo. 120 1HHHES Of MDUIIM H nt pops Appeal Most Be Made Direct to Allies in Order to Secure Peace—Sortie From Adrianople Constantinople, Nov. 13.—There is good reason to be lieve that the Turkish government has decided to nego tiate directly with the Balkan allies, as mediation by thv powers seems fruitless. DESPERATE SORTIE MADE. Sofia, Nov. 13.—A desperate sortie was made by the Turkish garrison at Adrianbple yesterday, according to a newspaper dispatch. After five hours' fighting the Turks were driven back by the Bulgarian besiegers. POSITION OF ARMY HOPELESS. St. Petersburg, Nov. 13.—The Turkish council of war has decided that the position of the army in Constanti nople is hopeless, says a dispatch from the Turkish capital. B London, Nov. 13.—More hopeful feeling prevailed today In regard to the International situation created by the Balkan war. Servla, however, has not replied to the Austrian suggestion that Servian occupation of Albanian terri tory or a port on the Adriatic sea would not be tolerated. At the same time the Servian army continues Its march toward the Adriatic coast and In one report from Belgrade is said t> actually have reached Durazzo. Turkey is now ill better position to ask for an armistice, as It is understood strong reinforcements of fresh troops have reached Tchatalja, and might hold out lor days If not for weeks. Advance news from that quarter suggests that the Bulgarian army Is not tvalklng over the Turkish fortifications as It was reported to do. Little jealousies among the Balkan allies have cropped out again at Salo niki. The Bulgarians, who followed the Greeks into the city, telegraphed King Ferdlnald that the town was now under his scepter. These incidents are arousing the Ire of the Greeks, who have called out the national guards of the class of 1896-1897, Indicating that they expect the fighting to continue Borne time yet. A letter received In London says the condition of the Turkish wounded in Constantinople Is fearful. The Turk ish government has lost control of the city and seems helpless. From the accounts ôi correspond ents on the Bulgarian side their wounded are in just as bad condition as the Turks. One correspondent, in describing the poor ambjtlance service of the Bulgarians, whose wounded are driven for miles in jolting oxcarts, says this is not the worst part of their suffering. He continues: "After sev eral battles the wounded were left ly ing on the bare fields, where they had fallen for two or three hot days and bitterly cold nights and the worst sights In the hospitals are the rows of poor fellows with swollen and gan grened limbs for whom there Is no hope of recovery." The correspondent adds that many are dying from exposure and not from wounds. An "Old Turk" writing to the newspapers to deplore the defeat of his country, says It would not have hap pened had Abdul Hamid been retained on the throne. He continued: "Our true sultan has now returned to the city of the faithful and this fact has caused a greater sensation In the Otto man empire than all/ the reverses our troops have suffered." He predicts that Abdul Hamid within a few weeks will be restored to the throne in Constantinople and owing to the dissensions of the powers, part of the Turkish empire will be saved to her. Dearth of News. London, Nov. 13.—There Is no news either from Sofia or Constantinople as to how the great battle at Tchatalja is going. The silence may Imply that the Turks are making a better defense than had been expected. On the other hand, it Is rumored that Turkey is asking Bulgaria to arrange an armis tice In the other fields of operations ths progress of the allies la alow. The Servians and Greeks have not yet reached Monastir, where, it la reported. All Rlsa Pasha, the former Turitish minister of war, has 60,000 troops pre pared to offer a vigorous resistance. The Montenegrins have suffered a set back In their prolonged efforts to cap ture Scutari, largely because of the defection of the Malisorl tribes, who demand guarantees of Albanian Inde pendence. The Greek advance toward Janina also appears to be retarded. It la probable that weather conditions have much to do with the slow prog ress. In the diplomatic field no fresh de velopment is reported. Important conferences continue at Budapest, where the former premier of Rouma bia, P. P. Carp, arrived today with a (Continued on Pngs Tar«) WILSON MAY MEET WITH DIFFICULTIES IN "CLASS DOOR" PLAN Washington, Nov. 13.—President elect Wilson's statement that he In tends to have an "dpen door" at the White House so far as possible, aroused discussion today as to the ex tent a president should admit persons to his private quarters. The presi dent's quarters at the White House adjoining the executive mansion are now comparatively easy of access for persons with business there, or who are introduced as visitors within the regular receiving hours, but ordinary visitors are politely told by guards at the door that the offices are "for busi ness only." President Cleveland came into office with the announced purpose of trans acting public business "behind glass doors," but he found the accommoda tions at the White House not well fitted for such arrangements. An hour or two Is given now by the presi dent almost every day, except In times of pressing business, to shaking hands with visitors and President Taft and his predecessors have maintained fair, ly free relations with the public dur. Ing reception hours, except for an outer guard that protects the execu tive against undesirable persons.

QUItfi, OÜLTÛkiSD, FtT RPOB Bl^DL~TiiALbl6 : TERMS DESCRIBE WILSON'S DAUGHTERS *•© Miss Jessie Wilson. () Seagirt, N. J., Nor. 11.—Quiet, cul tured, purposeful—that's the shortest description of the three daughters of Woodrow Wilson who on March next will take up their residence In the White House. They are not social butterflies; their hearts are in wider and more comprehensive things than those in cluded In the term society. Their Interests are in such fields as music, art and social settlement work. As their mother puts It: I am sure that we will be able to keep up our end and play the social game at Washington, but our hearts will not be In It." Miss Jessie, the youngest of the daughters, 22. has been a social worker In the mill districts of Philadelphia.

Washington, Nov. 13.—The return of Democratic senators and represen tatives Is bringing out a renewal of cabinet discussions, although the talk still Is wholly conjectural, nothing having come from Mr. Wilson to Indi cate liis line of action. Incoming Democratic statesmen predict that In filling his cabinet, Governor Wilson will give one place to New York, another to New England, and a third to Ohio or one of the other states of the middle west. It Is the view In congressional cir cles that at least two of the seats at the cabinet table will be assigned to the south, that one will go to the Pacific coaRt and another to the states (Continued on Page Seven) SALOONS CLOSED ON ACCOUNT OF STRIKE Des Meines, Nov. 13.—With all sal oons closed and a large force of depu ty sheriffs patrolling the wholesale district, the teamsters' strike assumed a waiting attitude thlc morning.

Nov. 13.—December wheat closed today at 88Hc. there; and Margaret, the eldest of the trio, 26, has a studio in New Tork, in which she Is studying voice culture. Thus each has her mind bent on a positive thing. It is the natural de velopment of the life which has sur rounded them during their father's presidency at Princeton and during their own college days. It Is safe to conclude that the silly frivolities of the Washington Nfe can have no charms for them. Yet one must not conclude that dur ing the regime of the Wilson family the social life will suffer. It Is said of them that in their quiet way they were the most agreeable entertainers In the Princeton set.
