TURKEY'S HH PIMXD
II IK Hums OF
Request for Armistice Being Considered
at Sofia—Cabinets of die Allies
to Be Consulted
London, Nov. 14.—Official confirmation that Kiamil
Pasha has addressed King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, direct
ly asking for the conclusion of an armistice pending the
negotiation of peace preliminaries, was received here from
Constantinople this morning.
PRESENTED" AT SOFIA.
Sofia, Nov. 14.—The Turkish request for mediation by
the powers was presented to the Bulgarian premier this
afternoon by ministers of the powers. Premier Guechoff
promised to submit it at headquarters immediately and
also to confer with the cabinets of the allied Balkan na
tions.
Berlin, Nov. 14.—Insinuations that
the Bulgarians had been guilty of
atrocities against the Turks and ^hat
the present war was more of a butch
ery than orderly warfare, are made by
the correspondents of the Vossicheze
tung. Telegraphing from Sernlin, Hun
gary, on the opposite side of the river
from Belgrade, the correspondent da
clares that he had been reliably in
formed that the Bulgarian troops mu
tilated the bodies of the Turkish sol
diers after the .battle of Kirk KUlsseh
Olid carried the Turks' heads about on
the points of their bayonets. He con
tinues, "Barbarism Is fighting barbar
ism and century old hate Is fighting
Century old oppression."
Situation at Constantinople.
New York, Nov. 14.—Oscar S.
Si raus, former ambassador to Turkey,
today received the following cablegram
from Ambassador Rockhlll at Constan
tinople: "Now over 140,000 sick and
wounded soldiers here. Cholera seems
Increasing fast. Much sickness and
destitution among many thousand re
fugees."
Armistice Is Asked.
London, Nov. 14—The Porte on the
advice of Russia has Instructed Nazim
Pasha, the Turkish commander-ln
chief, to apply to the Bulgarian com
mander for an eight-day armistice
with a view to open direct negotiations
for peace.
This decision seems to show that
Turkey has little hope of being able
to hold the Tchatalja lines against the
Bulgarian advance. There is no pews,
however, as to how the Bulgarian
commander met the Turkish request.
The situation at the front owing to
the paucity of the news allowed to
filter through from either side Is con
fusing. Clearly there has been heavy
fighting, as on Nov. 12 Constantino
ple reported that numerous wounded
were arriving from the front and the
almost Invariably correct the Vienna
Reichspost correspondent has report
ed the capture of a position by the
Bulgarians In the neighborhood of the
Tchatalja lines.
The same correspondent now says
the main attack on Tchatalja has been
delayed two days by rain.
The powers at last have arrived at
■ome kind of an agreement with r?
•pect to mediation. It Is assumed,
however, that now the Porte has
opened negotiations with Bulgaria,

ing any statement. The exact mo
tive for the deed remains a mystery.
SOUTHERN STATESMEN TO OOME INTO THEIR OWN AGAIN AND

. ; •
f
'op, left to right, Senator O'Oormon,
Oscar W. Underwood and Senator
James; bottom, Champ Clark ane
Senator Korn.
Washington, Nov. 14.—Democracy's
great victory on Nov. 5 means among
other things that during the next two
years at least the states below the
Mason and Dixon's line will have a
larger share In the government of this
country than has been the ease before
In many years—in fact, since the first
half of Pres. Cleveland's second term.
In both houses of congress southern
Democrats by reison of their superior
numbers have very generally been able
In the past to control the Democratic
representations. This has availed them
little as the Republicans have been In
power. Now the tables are turned.
Though In the noxt congress there will
be more Democrats from the north
than from the scuth, the latter will
prohably dominate by reason of their
greater legislative experience. Men
new to Washington have small place
In party councils.

of the World strikers near the mill cf
ttie Hood Rubber company In east Wa.
tertown, were broken up early today by
the police. About 1500 Industrial
Workers struck yesterday alleging that
members of their organisation had been
discriminated against by the company

Thus the Democratic house floor
leader In the next congress will be a
southerner—Oscar W. Underwood, of
Alabama. The speaker of the house,
too, will be from the south. Nobody
doubts that Champ Clark will be re
elected to the position which he holds.
Important committee chairmanships,
which generally go to men who have
served longest, will be scattered gen
erously among southern members.
In the senate Ollie James of Ken
tucky, will be a commanding figure.
So also will be Senator Bacon of Geo
gia, and Senator Culberson of Texas.
In the senate, however, will be found
a larger proportion of northern Dem
ocrats among the leaders than will be
the cbsî In the house. Senator Kern
of Indiana, Is now counted as one ot
the Democratic leaders. So also Is

of New Jersey, will also have a good
deal to suy when It comes to directing
the course of legislation in the upper
house during the i.ext two year«.
The first business of the new ad
ministration will be a revision of the
existing tariff. Governor Wilson has
denounced the present tariff so round
ly that he will probably feel It his
duty to call a special session next
spring.
The tariff Is the greatest of all
trouble makers. It was the McKin
ley tariff of 187« that brought about
Republican defeat In 1892. It was the
Wilson tariff of 1893 which more than
anything else overthrew the last Cleve
land administration. Although the Re
publicans got by with the Dingey tariff
of 1897, the Pnyne-AIdrlch tariff played
havoc with the pa;ty in 1910, and was
particularly responsible for the Demo
cratic landslide of this year.
